 GameDay Link 

 

This is my first Game Thread since the day after win number one. Weird.

Lineup:

CF    Ryan Spilborghs
LF     Seth Smith
1B     Todd Helton
3B     Garrett Atkins
RF     Ian Stewart
SS     Troy Tulowitzki
C       Chris Iannetta
2B     Clint Barmes
RHP Ubaldo Jimenez

 

What to Watch For:

-Garrett Atkins returns to the lineup today for the first time since March 10. 

-Troy Tulowitzki plays his third game in a row after being out last weekend with back problems.

-Brad Hawpe is still taking it easy with his left hammy, so we get to see Ian Stewart try his first hand at RF today.

-Except for Hawpe and Jimenez, this could be the Opening Day line-up.  It will be interesting to see how they stack up against an All-Star pitcher.

I'm going to this game, can't wait to see Ubaldo!

Hopefully they play the “starting lineup”, they were missing Todd, Spilly, and Hawpe yesterday.

by blooming rock on Mar 28, 2009 12:19 PM MDT reply actions  

I posted the starting lineup

Only missing Hawpe due to injury. Even Atkins is back.

Good news on Atkins, hopefully he's ready for the season.

Stewart in Right? This will be interesting to see. Has he ever played a game there?

I'm pretty sure he hasn't

Maybe Drew Goodman is a dirty liar

I really don’t know…that’s a good question. Hurdle is definitely going with the Opening Day lineup sans Hawpe, so at least Stewart is getting ABs instead of Pods or Murton. Maybe he’ll shift to the IF later in the game like he did the other day

If I was the kind of person to try to read the tea leaves that is a spring training line-up, I’d say, Ian Stewart is going to be the super-duper-sub, having to get AB’s where ever they come up, Barmes is the 2ndbaseman….and Dexter isn’t going to start in the majors, and will be in CS for at least 2 months so the Rockies get an extra year pre-arb from him.

So that would make the bench

Torrealba, Stewart, Q, Murton, and… I’m at a loss for the last guy if we trade Baker.

Could be Pods if Baker is traded

though Ringolsby lists Fowler ahead of Pods in the backup OF race

They were good pitches, nothing too far off the plate

Chalk it up to great plate discipline by Fontenot.

And he walked him on a changeup, his fourth pitch. It’s unlikely that they’ll go that route in the reg. season

How often does that ball get hit there, though?

It’s hard to say where the acceptable line is, how many extra runs does having Spilly and Smith both in the lineup score the Rockies over Dex/Spilly compared to how many Spilly/Smith cost us on D.

Current Batting averages of our projected Opening Day lineup:

Spilly: .370
Smith: .292
Atkins: .421
Helton: .448
Iannetta: .412
Hawpe: .357
Tulo: .233
Barmes: .294

And people wonder why we get overly optimistic this time of year.

Optimistic?

Never, we just know what to expect because we are die-hards and follow more than the casual fan or someone from the EC

True...

I don’t think we’ll have three guys chasing Ted Williams, but I do think we’re going to surprise a lot of people with how many runs we score.

but tulo needs to get it going

.233 is not good at all
