PrintColorado Rockies at Miami Marlins, Aug 2, 2008 5:10 PM MDT
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.
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.
Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.
Tulo & Iannetta not in the lineup?
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.
“Chris, you hit a 3 run bomb, I only needed a sac-fly. I’m sitting you tomorrow.”
So I just read an article about Helton...
http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_10079760
Makes you wonder if he’ll just retire if it continues to be as bad as it seems.
That's not good :-(

solve half of the team’s problems with him.

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.

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

I love not playing our best lineup
Like it’s Little League and all the kids need a chance to play. It’s not like we need to win as many games as possible or anything…..
Baker can't get
the ball to first after the bunt. Steal a base or two, Willy.

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.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Hey look
Willy must be reading the game threads because he is actually getting on base nowadays

De Los Santos might be inclined to only give up 11?

So what's the deal with Florida anyway?
Are they getting a new stadium? Are they going to be moved? I know I’m stating the obvious here, but their fan base is atrocious. I can’t imagine their isn’t another city that couldn’t support them better.
It was amusing last night

I think we can officially dispense with the notion

Watching the Florida TV call of Holliday's homer is very amusing
[Matt hits ball]
[Silence]
“Whoa… where’d that go?”
“I’m not happy with that.”
“Matt Holliday’s happy with it, though.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll get ‘em back.”
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
The only thing more amusing
was listening to the White Sox broadcast team call our homers.

So Yorvie is 1 for his last 13.
And he still starts!
Hurdle loves to ride hot streaks, but he also love to give guys starts to get them going.
[baffled]
AHAHAHAHAHA @ Yorvit
Whose two ABs have been pretty much identical, except for he looked at one and swung at the other.
