Game #4: Owings vs. Redman
Arizona Diamondbacks @ Colorado Rockies
Time for the offense to come alive, and what better day for that to happen than today? It's the home opener; it's the day we've been waiting months for; it's the day Mark Redman goes out and throws a gem. Well, that last one we'll need to wait on.
Go Rockies!

What we need is a good old fashioned snake stomping.
I have a wager with the Snakepit on the outcome of this series. The Rockies better do more than Rodrigo did last year to make Purple Row the winner, here.

Aw
I came over from the Snakepit to say I hope we have a good series, and you guys are planning Whacking Day. I'm (melodramatically) heartbroken.
Really, though, I'm looking forward to seeing the Rockies this season. Here's hoping for a good season series, and the general collapse of every NL team in California!

Atkins/Hawpe
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious - but why don't we put Hawpe 5th and Atkins 6th to have a left/right/left/right in the heart of the lineup (to force opposing manager to waste an extra reliever if they want to play the "matchup" game)? Granted, Atkins hits righties and lefties about the same over his career, but some managers might not know that.
I'm glad that Helton and Holliday swapped place in the lineup. I like having the OBP monster at 3 and the power guy at 4.

Even if it makes the bottom of our lineup right heavy, I think switching Hawpe and Atkins along with the Holliday/Helton switch might be more beneficial in getting pitchers to give Matt something worth swinging at.

The hitters will hit
they are all pressing to get off to good starts.
The pitching rotation is a big issue. I see too many deep counts, pitch counts and too few innings out of these guys. They are going to have to make a deal at some point or be buried. The bullpen cannot be expected to pitch 4+ every day or it will collapse.

Can I add...
good to see Todd with a little power this early in the season before it gets warm. Hopefully that translates into a bit of an uptick later.

You mean
We might actually get it over the wall again?
Or even have someone cross home plate again?
You are clearly a liar.
Ask your doctor if the Rockies are good for you. Are they generally? No. Do we stay? Of course. Why? Who built Stonehenge?
