Spring Training Games #13 and #14: Greg Smith vs. Rodrigo Lopez, Ubaldo Jimenez vs. Felix Hernandez

It is split squad Sunday once again for the Rockies, with one squad playing at home at Hi Corbett Field and another crossing the border to Hermosillo, Mexico to face the Diamondbacks.

Daylight Savings Time was observed last night, but not in Arizona (despite what my computer and cell phone think).  So both games will occur a 1:05 PM local time, while you will have to wait an extra hour (well, not technically) for the games to start at 2:05 MT.  

Todd Helton will be dusting off his passport and debuting in the Mexico game, while I'll be interested to see how Greg Smith, who could be quietly very important to the team in 2010, continues to perform.  At the game I'll be attending, Ubaldo Jimenez will take on a full squad Mariners team including King Felix, a match-up of arguably the two best young Latin pitchers in the game.

I won't be available to post the line-ups, as I'll be trying to chase down another BP ball,

must have changed their mind

I found it curious that they would debut helton in Mexico instead of hi corbett, but that’s what renck reported earlier

Regardless where Todd starts today...

let’s hope nobody unexpectedly needs their passport this year. You might remember that the Rockies had to retrieve Yorvit’s passport while he was in Houston, so he could deal with his son’s abduction…

At work recently we had a 21st birthday party for the firm

To which all the clients were invited. As a preparatory bit of fun, all the agents compiled a dossier of photos of their own clients. When my managing director saw mine, she asked me, with not a little accusation in her voice, why my clients were so good looking!

Milton Bradley was warming up in left field, throwing a ball to a relief pitcher. He fired back and overthrew the guy, striking an elderly woman in a wheelchair in the chest right in front of me. She is okay, and the kid who caught the rebound gave her the ball. But geeze, Bradley is a magnet for mistreating people, even on accident

After the announcers were talking about Lincecum’s comments about him over the Winter. I found out that Helton has a 5.000 OPS against 10 pitchers in his career. I don’t know if that’s a lot, but it’s interesting.

I was being sarcastic

Last Fall there was a major debate here about whether Iannetta or Torrealba should be the starter down the stretch. (The better player vs. the hot player) Things got really ugly.

I think him being a right handed pitcher is sort of a burden for him though with the bevy of righties on the team. He’s very good insurance though IMO, and I believe you’re too low on him than you should be.

Game in AZ against SEA

Ubaldo pitched very well, Rockies just took a 1-0 lead in the 4th.

Game in Mexico against AZ:

Greg Smith had some troubles, but Rockies currently leading 4-2 in the 4th.

Well, I think it is a very valid comparison

Classical music is more about themes and moods from my experience. Modern popular music is about individual moments. One of the more memorable moments of Don’t Trust Me was the ending, in which they use an octave jumping solo using a saw-triangle synth with varying note length, which seems relatively out of the blue with respect to the rest of the track. You rarely, if ever, hear that classical music; I guessing stuff like that was probably something brought in by the jazz era…could you imagine if the Marriage of Figaro ended like that???! lol

Trust me, I used to be about the biggest 3OH!3 hater there was, but there’s a lot more going on, and a lot more to love, than meets the ear at first.

Did yard work all day & just logged in to see how the games came out

Like the Energizer Bunny, they’re still going and going and going …

But looks like one @ & one tie at the moment.

From the box scores, U-ball seems ready to start the season.

Smith, Redding & EY2 do not. I’m disappointed in EY2’s spring.
I was hoping he’d catch fire & make it a tough decision whether
to put him on the 25-man. Inestead, he’s flopped.

sadly...maybe he was just overwhelmed

and will do better to get time in at the springs and hope he gets a chance to be called up. Although, if he gets called up, this must only mean something very bad happened with 2nd base…..or the outfield depth….

It was really confusing

One game was in Arizona and the other game was against Arizona in Mexico. (And they were both close so you kind of had to watch both of them)
