Rockies 5, Mariners 4: Ubaldo Jimenez comes up aces again

Ubaldo Jimenez was stellar through four shutout innings, striking out two and allowing just one hit. He even scoredColorado's first run in the game after singling in the bottom of the fourth. While Troy Tulowitzki gets all the pub and forum fodder as a slow starter, Ubaldo Jimenez has had similar tendencies (5.90 April ERA in 2008, 7.58 in 2009). If Spring Training is any indication (which it really isn't), Ubaldo is in great shape.
Colorado's offensive star of the game was Ryan Harvey, who unloaded a Brandon League offering for a three-run home run in the seventh. The ball cleared the 15-foot fence by at least twenty feet in the deepest part of the ballpark, the 410' alley in left-center. An absolute blast. The dude was #99 and was brought up from minor league camp, but he is neither an obscure talent nor an up-and-coming one.
Harvey was drafted sixth overall by the Cubs out of high school in 2003, four slots ahead of one Ian Stewart. After being a top ten prospect the next four seasons, he was released last March after failing to achieve an OBP higher than .314 on any stop. The Rockies picked him up, and he had 23 HR and 82 RBI playing right-field for Double-A Tulsa last season. He's only 25, so I suppose the prospect of him being the second coming of Garrett Jones isn't altogether ridiculous, but he's pretty off the radar as far as prospects go. There's your lesson on Harvey.
Mike Paulk singled and doubled, driving in one and scoring one for the Drillers Rockies. Tim Redding doubled and singled, but he also got knocked around for three runs on six hits and two walks in 3.1 IP. Juan Rincon came in and stopped the bleeding for a save. JUAN RINCON FOR CLOSER. Matt Belisle also pitched a perfect inning in his attempt to fit into the bullpen.

The one in the story is mine
I didn’t really take any others. We got to the game late (meaning 20m early) after having to deal with a hotel reservation snafu this morning. mkorpal may throw some up, but there’s weren’t many good opportunites

Most of my pics
are of King Felix. Not many Rockies pics. Look for more tomorrow (including hopefully some video)
It was gone
and there was almost no doubt. The only question I had was if it was high enough (this question lasted about .5 seconds, or the time it took the ball to clear the fence).

Bad news guys, we may be coming up on three straight days of GameDay only games.
Tomorrow and Wednesday are definitely not covered. Tuesday’s game has no MLBTV or GameDay Audio coverage, but the White Sox schedule suggests there may be a non MLBTV feed. This is not unheard of. A Rockies/Dodgers game last Spring was covered for free on MLB.com in this manner. But the status of that is not clear. The good news is that Thursday, FSNRM finally starts covering games.
Upcoming Rockies Coverage:
3/15: Cubs 2:10 PM - NO MEDIA COVERAGE
3/16: @ White Sox 2:05 PM - NO MEDIA COVERAGE? (Possible MLB.com Feed)
3/17: Indians 2:10 PM - NO MEDIA COVERAGE
I'll post some video maybe, hehe

It was nice
to see the first game Todd plays in was also the first game this spring where 7/9 of the starting lineup will be the opening day lineup and the other two will/should get consistent starts. I also got the last remaining autograph on my 2007 NL Champs shirt today. Manny Corpas!!!!! Only non-current-Rockies left are:
Josh Fogg, Denny Bautista, Jamey Carroll, Jeremy Affeldt, Jorge Julio, Josh Newman, Latroy Hawkins, Ramon Ortiz and Dan Serefini. Considering they are all pitchers and some of them no longer play in the majors I doubt I will ever get these (Carroll is the exception). I will now take my shirt and frame it.

You could probably find a way to get Affeldt.

The bullpen
pitchers rarely come out and sign. They find the sneaky ways of getting to the BP without being seen.

Yeah, but he'll be around.
Like I said, you could find a way.

I also got
Christian Fredrich and Matt Reynolds to sign one baseball, Damien Moss and Chris Nelson to sign another, baseball cards signed by Jeff Francis, Mike McKenry and Dexter Fowler.
And…THE ROCKIES WON!!!

Section D, Row 14 Seats 8-10
I will be at the practice fields between 9:00 and 9:30. I will remain there until the game commences (or is about to). Bring a glove so we can have a catch. See you guys there.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find my glove before we came
So I don’t have mine. I suppose I could still throw…eh

I haven't seen
this mentioned anywhere (and I didn’t read the gamethread comments) but Redding ditched the beard. I thought that was a different move, especially since I was looking forward to seeing the beast in person.
