Rockies 12, Dodgers 0: The Smiths prove to be the boys with the thorn in the Dodgers' side

PrintEvery Rockie who participated offensively reached base at least once (except for Mike Paulk), and five pitchers combined for a three-hitter as the Rockies dominated the Dodgers in every facet of the game on their way to a 12-0 drubbing of their division rival.
On the hill, Greg Smith shut down the Dodgers for three innings, yielding two hits and a walk while striking out three. Ubaldo Jimenez started the game and didn't allow a run in three innings, despite allowing three walks. He was a little bit better this time out than last time, though, as he struck out two and only allowed one hit. Justin Speier was terrific in a quick inning of work, inducing a pop up and two strikeouts as part of his 1-2-3 frame. Matt Reynolds and Andrew Johnston then closed out the Dodgers with consecutive hitless innings.
Offensively, Seth Smith went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three runs batted in. And, as mentioned above, there were plenty of other contributors in the rout. The Rockies got extra base hits out of Smith, Clint Barmes, Paul Phillips, Wilin Rosario, and Jonathan Herrera.
Rowcall and more after the jump...
Tomorrow, the Rockies will return to Hi Corbett Field in Tucson to face the Kansas City Royals. Game time is at 1:10 MT.

IIRC, the game will be replayed tonight on MLBN
11 PM Eastern, 9 Mountain (Everyone else has to figure out their own time zone.)
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
Not in the east, it isn't
Maybe it’s a case of boas against western teams, but here in the eastern time zone, we’re getting the Astros and Mets at 11 p.m. I’m watching Seinfeld.
30 Clubs in 30 Days has the Rox on 3/26 I believe.

Apparently, they changed their mind!
This link showed it as scheduled, http://www.purplerow.com/2010/2/25/1326355/mlb-network-to-air-six-rockies, but I’m getting Houston v. NY like Curt.

regular season they always have 800+ comments for even a basic thread
though I think we have more writers than anyone else, thus more fresh material

It was tough to keep up with all the postings today… but excellent showing today :-D

Piling on the comments this Spring
Although I daresay that will probably go down as the year progresses and more people can watch so I don’t have to provide play-by-play. Also, I’ll have a job, so fewer gamethreads.

Yeah, I'll probably be in the same boat
Moving to a position with shift work, so depending on the shift, I won’t be able to participate :-(

I’m thankful to at least read the Rockpile during the day, but you won’t find me ’round these parts much for the next few weeks :(

why does Jimenez always have a weird look on his face
every time i see a picture of him lol that’s what it must always look like to throw gas and dominate hitters i guess haha

Our hitters are clearly farther along than most other teams'.
This is the part of the Spring where C-level pitching is supposed to still be making hitters look foolish.

Stewat: (.455)

There are a bunch of other great ones too.
