Sort of like yesterday
One bad inning by JDLR threw us off. That’s three days in a row that the pitching on the whole has been solid, only a few guys still have kinks to work out.
I still won't feel happy about our pitching...
Until one of Smith, Morales, or Hirsh starts pitching like a major leaguer.

Unfortunately, those would be three of the guys.
Let’s hope somebody from that group steps up next time out.
bad brain

More good news...

Keep going Embree and we might forget an earlier outing you had

Good semi-smooth inning

I don't know...
Rosario might not be close enough defensively, giving McKenry a solid window of opportunity.
The other thing is that catching's such a chore you're really better off with two
If you have two good enough, that is.
yeah definitely
He should be an upgrade over Yorvit, that’s if Clint will ever get rid of him
that'll never happen
i dislike men, you don't know what the hell you want out of life.

Clint doesn't have that power.
It resides with the dud.
"A great catch is like watching girls go by; the last one you see is always the prettiest." ~Bob Gibson
JFK
He's close to forcing the issue for O'Dowd right now,
I fully expect him to be called up by September, and with a solid start he could make Yorvit an August trade possibility.
Sort of like Iannetta, and his 2006 callup.
I like the prospects (pun intended) of this.

I love the kid.
His defense is amazing, and his bat has a lot of potential. I also got to talk to him last ST and he couldn’t be nicer.

Ivan Nova
If he were one of our prospects and he were really good, I would propose the nickname Super Nova. Or Supernova. Not sure which.
Not quite random
we did the same for Seth “Dixie” Smith and Ian Stewart, although I don’t remember Stewart’s due to the controversy surrounding him.

At least he's not one of our pitchers with something to prove
He got his bad outing out of the way. He’ll be lights out through September!

I hope he pitches as well as he is expected to
although if he doesn’t I hope he isn’t allowed to give up the lead.
"A great catch is like watching girls go by; the last one you see is always the prettiest." ~Bob Gibson
JFK
You can tell he's way on the outside looking in for a roster spot...
Even if he wasn’t dealing with injuries early, there just aren’t enough innings to give him
I suppose he has a slim chance
Now that Buchholz is out.
by Greg Stanwood on Mar 6, 2009 3:38 PM MST up reply actions
Long Relief maybe?
If injuries happen during the season.
"A great catch is like watching girls go by; the last one you see is always the prettiest." ~Bob Gibson
JFK
He might be one of them sent, though...
I think the Rockies are looking harder at Morillo, Daley and Register in Buchholz’s absence. At least that’s what the innings seem to be saying. This is clearly junk inning duty here.
not a good way to start an inning

Adam Bright pitched an inning for Oz tonight
Struck out 1 walked 2, no runs
maybe they want to give him back now

wait never mind... the fielding error on EY's grounder
and the throwing error on a pop-up by Pods in the sixth according to the official box.
he has 5 errors during spring
he must want to come back
i don't want him back

Venable Ks
Flores not bad for his first game action in several months. Early traffic, but got out of it
He's still got time to show he is ready.
Check back in September.
