Colorado Rockies @ San Diego Padres
I should be back in time from tonight's Tourists game to actually be able to comment in a game thread again. And now that I have a computer, I might actually be able to do it, pending a working Internet connection. Okay, one hurdle to clear at a time, I guess. At any rate, let's not let another Padres pitcher get a near no-hitter off of us. In fact, karma would be kind if we got a near all-hitter against Germano.
Let's go Rockies!

Starting with a positive
Rather than “going negative” as to Redman starting, let’s start positive. Josh Fogg is NOT starting. He gave up 9 ER in 2 innings tonight to the Cubs, putting his ERA for the year at 13.91.
Go Redman! The wise personnel choice.

Spilly? Leading off? I have no real objection, I’m just wondering want Clint’s been sipping?

The rockies game is on the same channel as the yankees red sox game, which is currently 11-9 in the sixth as Latroy Hawkins attempts to give up more runs.

For Francis. He needs to dominate tonight. Also, Iannetta and Barmes are in a great position to impress for more playing time, and they need to show it.

Last night had plenty of fighting breaking out.
It was ridiculous. And for what it’s worth, baseball fights have always bored me to no end. Not that hockey fights are particularly interesting, but at least they have potential. You’d think with benches and bullpens clearing in baseball fights more actual…fighting would happen, but it’s mostly a ton of posturing…for nothing. Hockey fights are boring, too, for the most part, but occasionally you get a free-swinging slugfest as opposed to the more common jersey tug-of-war.

Red and Redman
Why is it I’m more confident in Redman coming into tonight than I have been with any of the other starters save maybe Cook? I think we did find us a left-handed Fogg. The youngsters can be shaky or spectacular, but the old(er) horse at the bottom just gets it done with minimal stuff. Here’s hoping that U-Ball and Morales can take away something from this and work on becoming pitchers rather than throwers. I just don’t know what’s up with Francis though.

Dilemma
Now I know I’m too easy on Clint, but I’m getting close to saying he’s the man at 2B. Which kinda poses a dilemma. I like Nix at 2B too, but I don’t see him being capable of playing the other infield positions required of a bench player…. And he’s out of options….. If this were a rebulding year, it’d be easy to carry a limited role rookie on the bench…. But should this Barmy resurgence continue…. What do you do with Nix? Too soon to worry about such things of course, but I’m just saying.

Clint is good, and he's hot right now, but...
His bat is too slow, and until a miracle happens pitchers are going to eventually find the hole in his swing.

Bat speed
Actually, the bat speed is what I find most interesting. Prior to his injury, Clint had great bat speed… Post-injury, it was terrible. Is it possible the speed is coming back? I think it has at least to some degree.

Look at it from the opposing team's perspective
Who would you rather face as a batter- Barmes or Nix?
I think it’s a no brainer.
Here’s novel baseball concept: play Barmes until he stops hitting. Give him the same shot Nix got.

Wow.
Perhaps this whole “Rox win when Tyler doesn’t pay attention” thing has some weight. I consciously decided to ignore tonight’s game, but eventually couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Aw, hell, I’ll just check the score at the Row.”
So I get here to find that not only has Redman failed to fail, but the Rox are locked in an awesome one-run game.
So here I am. The Rockies will now lose. Sorry about that.

Agreed.
He was forced into the starter’s role too early last year, but there’s no denying that the extra seasoning with the Sky Sox really helped his swing. In my opinion, he’s better on both sides of the ball than Yorvy.

Let us hope.
I don’t know if you read the SI story about Tulo a few weeks back, but for those that haven’t:
On that now-famous date (at least to Rockies fans) of May 21 last year, after the Rox lost to drop to 18-27, Tulo started yelling and throwing equipment around, saying “This team is too good to be playing this s**t!”
They went 70-46 after that. Hopefully, Tulo can be that spark again this year.

just make the nights when we can’t hit a lick all the more frustrating. The talent is undoubtedly THERE, but it seems like sometimes we just can’t tap it.

I saw a guy (who, I swear, I’ve never met before) wearing a Rockies t-shirt in the dining hall tonight. Looked just like Tulo, too (but about nine inches shorter). We talked for a few minutes—I didn’t ask, but I sorta got the impression he’d been a fan since October 1, 2007, if you know what I mean.
Then I saw another kid wearing a Colorado College shirt, and we talked NCAA hockey for a while. It was wild.
