Game #112: De Los Santos vs Nolasco

Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins, Aug 2, 2008 5:10 PM MDT



Next Game

Colorado Rockies
@ Florida Marlins

Saturday, Aug 2, 2008, 5:10 PM MDT
Dolphin Stadium

Valerio De Los Santos vs Ricky Nolasco

Partly cloudy with a 30-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing out to left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 85.

 

Complete Coverage >


Nolasco seems to me to be somewhat of a home field/team creation this year, a pitcher that might not be as good as he looks if he played in one of the NL's less flyball pitcher friendly stadiums. Not that it matters, we're playing this game at Dolphin Stadium, and Valerio De Los Santos is our starter, so it's not like we're going to be able to find any advantage in that.

 

Go Rockies.

De Los Santos

Hard to give a guy just one start to prove himself.

Changing schedules, changing leagues, jet lag, nerves, etc. can all be a factor in that first start. If they were going to give him a shot then giving him this second start makes sense.

I would be more than a bit shocked if he finally figured out how to command his pitches at age 35 but apparently the Rockies think otherwise so they might as well give him a second start.

by MADness on Aug 2, 2008 4:28 PM MDT reply actions  

Think of him as

the 2008 version of Tim Harikkala, except we’re going to start him twice instead of just once. Here’s hoping we can get a result tonight like we did in Harikkala’s lone start last year.

Let’s not even try here, Hurdle.

Sounds like Tulo has a bit of soreness going on.

So a day off doesn’t hurt me for him.

But why oh why does Hurdle continue to play Yorvie.

Exactly my thought.

Love the guy. Pretty much Mr. Rocky, and will be long after he does retire. But we have so many issues that revolve around him and his big contract.

Ianetta

Made the mistake of getting hits and driving in runs again. Hurdle has to teach him not to show up his beloved veterany catcher.

I mean, how many more times can CDI perform at a higher level than Yorvit before Chris finds himself back with the Sky Sox.

Lineup of fail tonight

Hurdle has decided that any pitcher whose name starts with De La/ De Los can be helped by adding a large dosage of fail, in the personage of Yorvit, to the lineup. That didn’t work last time, I take substantial leave to doubt that it will this time.

I can't wait

to hear the Florida TV call for Matt’s second HR. Probably goes something like:

[Crack]

“Uh-oh.”

[Silence]

“Uh… lead now 4-3 on Holliday’s second homer of the night.”

How about

A 1-2-3 inning? Foreign concept, I know, but let’s give it a shot.
