Game #132: Jimenez vs. Cueto

Cincinnati Reds @ Colorado Rockies


Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Colorado Rockies

Sunday, Aug 24, 2008, 1:05 PM MDT
Coors Field

Johnny Cueto vs Ubaldo Jimenez

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 85.

 

Complete Coverage >

The Rockies try to win their third straight series, and get some traction for finishing August on a high note. Of course, a loss today would mean the fourth consecutive home losing series, so there's plenty of fodder for the glass half empty side to chew on as well. This will be another statement game for Jimenez, where he can establish himself as a top young pitcher over a talented peer. It should be a good pitching matchup to watch.

Go Rockies!

Cueto

I really like Cueto.

He has obviously struggled a little bit but I sure love his arm and like him as a prospect. Fun to root for (though not today).

Is Affeldt really hitting 98?

by onholliday on Aug 24, 2008 3:35 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Both the broadcast gun

and gameday have him there, so I’m assuming that’s not an error.

by David OhNo on Aug 24, 2008 3:36 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Affeldt consistently hitting 98 mph!

I thought he might occasionally have touched 96 mph with us.

by David OhNo on Aug 24, 2008 3:35 PM MDT   0 recs

maybe both readings are high

Corpas is consistently 94 mph, about two ticks higher than he normally sits.

That was not a good idea PH Yorvit.

We don’t matchup so well against teammates from Rocktober 2007, other than Fogg that is.
