With this being my first game thread, I'm hoping that I can bring some of my infamous good luck to the table in this one, as the 0-6 Rockies face the 2-3 Brewers at Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix.
Your starting pitchers:
vs.
Alan Embree, Greg Reynolds, Ryan Mattheus are among others that scheduled to pitch for the Rox. Hopefully, Smith and Reynolds are sparked by the competition for the fifth starter and both have good performances this afternoon.
For the Brew Crew, Trevor Hoffman (insert tiebreaker game reference here), Carlos Villanueva, Mitch Stetter, Omar Aguilar, and Chase Wright are slated to take the mound, just in case anybody cares.
Here is the Gameday link.
Colorado's Lineup:
Podsednik RF
Young 2B
Spilborghs CF
Koshansky 1B
S. Smith LF
Colonel 3B
Quintanilla SS
Phillips C
G. Smith P
GO ROCKIES!

I love the tie breaker game
but how about an Opening Day 2005 reference. He seems to have big game problems, and especially in Colorado.

That one works very well, too.
Good call.

Please to be allowing us to swing at first strikes...
I get all the preaching patience and working down in the zone, but dammit, if we out Lions the Detroit Lions, I’m gonna be pissed.

I hope Smith and Reynolds
are allowed to throw something besides fastballs low and in, otherwise it’s gonna be another looooong night in Rockieland. Well, afternoon for you guys, night for me.

How excited
are you for the regular season and night games?
"Better move your rental cars, I am about to take BP."
-Glendon Rusch
Not too terribly excited, no.
I won’t be around much for night games in Denver, and not at all for night games on the West Coast. I hope they play a lot of afternooners on the East Coast, but this is a problem for obvious reasons.
Aue tehan-deoes shaj do’ ai poyene slueden!
Are you at least back for the summer?
"Better move your rental cars, I am about to take BP."
-Glendon Rusch
I'm getting home either in late June or early July.
My parents might be out here to do some travelling, which would be great. But in any case, probably not until almost the All-Star break. I’ve got a very short summer, I’m heading back to NY for my senior year at the end of August.
Aue tehan-deoes shaj do’ ai poyene slueden!
At least
then you’re in a respectable time zone to follow baseball.
"Better move your rental cars, I am about to take BP."
-Glendon Rusch
I agree.
I don’t think I can take multiple repeats of the 22-inning game — that one ended at 4:30 am ET, which is now just the fifth or sixth inning of a night game in the West.
Aue tehan-deoes shaj do’ ai poyene slueden!
Hmm.
Trevor Hoffman, Carlos Villanueva, Mitch Stetter, Omar Aguilar, and Chase Wright.
Dammit, if nobody can get some runs off one of those scrubs, I’m gonna be pissed.
Aue tehan-deoes shaj do’ ai poyene slueden!
We might as well just call the season off...
…if we don’t score at least 5 off of those bums.

They're just getting tuned up?
Of course, their brand of fail rests on creating false hope before catastrophically gutting it, so you’re right, they should be winning now. Our brand of fail rests on… well… failing.

Plus they have THE BES 2 PLAYERZ IN TEH WORLD! in Wright and Reyes.

I actually like Wright.
(clearly it’s cuz IM A GIRL LOLZ!!!1) But he’s an engaging personality who does good things off the field and is definitely a special talent. Of course, the media fellatio would make you get sick of Roberto Clemente, these days.

That's because...
…they’re only allowed to pitch to Pujols down and in, in the zone.
I, for one, am excited about any Mets fail. Or Yankees-fail. Or Red Sox-fail. Or Cubs-fail.
Because all of them mean ESPN-fail.

Well, off to class
I can’t believe I have to wait until FRIDAY to hang out and do an entire game thread. Life hurts me.
Go Rox! And if you lose, I’m officially committing to the group that wants to see the Rockies to 0-30 during Spring Training, just to see what happens.
I'll be in and out of the thread for the remainder of the game...
Work beckons, at times.
But, I’ll be hanging around.

Are the Rockies the only team
that is “working on things in spring training” and making pitchers throw certain pitches and batters lay off certain pitches? I think most teams do some variation of that in the Spring. Because it seems to me that the info leaked to the Post this morning was a bit of an attempt at PR spin.
Well, it might have been
seeing as the natives are already going apeshit over six straight ST losses. Maybe they were trying to purposefully reassure everyone that, yeah, we’re not actually going to BE like this.
I hope.

So we're consistent
Nice to see the team can stay on a blueprint.

Don Baylor has things under control...
At the start of the season the teams will resume playing in Mile High Stadium and EY will hit a leadoff HR. It’s all gonna be ok.

Tulo tore it up in ST last year
then was a complete non-entity until his injury. I’m still not too concerned. Yet. (Yet is the operative word).

It's on cable, maybe online...
It’s a feed from the Yes network and the announcers just compared him to Joe Girardi. Which means he will leave the Rockies to win 3 world series rings elsewhere. Actually they said he is a smart catcher and calls a good game, has some power.
In the last half inning he called 2 strikeouts.
Keepin' warm by the hot stove season.
What the hell?
Game day had nothing…then in like 30 secs…went through the entire top of the 2nd?

are called out on strikes, right? There is that Patience we have heard so much about..
It's far better in the regular season
updates pitch by pitch, although occasionally gets stuck. ST Gameday is always crap.

and there’s Greg Smith’s tendency to give up homers. I really thought our 5th pitcher battle had depth…now it’s looking like “Less Sucky Wins”

Well that's disappointing
sit there staring at the screen forever and then all of a sudden a 2 run homer.

2. Greg Smith, left-hander | 0-1, 13.50 in one game
3. Jason Hirsh, right-hander | 0-1, 13.50, two games
4. Greg Reynolds, right-hander | 0-0, 4.50, one game
5. Josh Fogg, right-hander 0-0, 36.00, one game.
Right now, Matt Belisle has the inside track on the 5th slot, because he hasn’t pitched, yet.

Loving Greg Reynolds with Even Less Reason than Usual since Gawd this is Depressing.

I think he's just doing it deliberately to drive you off
He just doesn’t want to tell you there’s somebody else…
Wait
Is this the moment where we become allies and join forces to hunt him down?
Greg Reynolds Must Die?

I imagine everyone else is wondering
what the fripping heck Greg Reynolds has done to warrant being fought over by two of the few women on PR. Well, so are we.

Huh....
Interesting theory, I had no idea that it worked the other way like that.
Brandon Backe must be a total chick magnet, then.
It's because
women don’t know anything about baseball, so when you all hear that “so and so gives up a lot of home runs”, you just assume it’s a good thing.

Well, two years ago you could have said something...
When I did in the last comment on this game thread, where were you? Do you have evidence that you liked him before that, my dear? The court would very much like to see it.
That's no evidence that you "liked him"
Every Rockie fan would be pleased to see three groundouts induced by any Rockies pitcher…

Actually, that last point isn't something to like about him...
And the first loses meaning when you consider other people who went #2
At least the Rox have scored 5 runs.
So we don’t have to cancel the season, after all.

but in 98 the Montreal Expos went 8-23 in the spring.
They went on to go 65-97 in the regular season (but they weren’t in the NL West obviously)
Well, fine
just when I was about to post that! >:(
but it’s all good :) except for the rockies, they’re Not good

I just got the implicit humour in that line. It was great. And our boy Dreamy had a hand in it, too.
