Rockies 6, D-backs 5: Rockies Take Second Straight at Salt River

in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintThe Rockies and Diamondbacks fumbled their way through six errors and four wild pitches between them to complete their second official game together at Salt River Fields.
The Rockies got on the board early, touching the newly acquired starting pitcher Armando Galarraga for two runs in the first inning. Just like in Saturday's game, most of the offense came late, as Arizona relievers Esmerling Vasquez and Kam Mickolio allowed four runs in the 7th and 8th.
The offensive contributions were spread around, as several players produced runs, including Jonathan Herrera who stayed hot from Saturday with a triple and a walk. Other notable offense producers included Dexter Fowler, Willy Taveras, Hernan Iribarren, Charlie Blackmon and Tim Wheeler, as well catchers Jose Morales and Chad Moeller. Todd Helton saw his first game action of the Spring, sending a ball 400 feet to an outfield glove in his first at bat.
Jhoulys Chacin, the game's starting pitcher, and Esmil Rogers each produced two clean innings. Fellow starting candidate Eric Stults wasn't so lucky, allowing three runs on five hits in his pair of frames, though he struck out three opposing batters. Huston Street pitched the 5th, allowing one run and a wild pitch. Matt Belisle struck out two batters in his scoreless inning, while Keith Weiser closed out the game, allowing one run but picking up the save, sending the Rockies to their second victory of the Spring.
Roll call after the jump.

Anyone know if there's a list of which Rox ST games are going to be televised?

What about the games on KOA?
Why can’t the ST games at least be on radio? :angryface:

Saturdays I think
I believe in the future, the reality of the present, the sweet memories of the past, living is more than breathing, spring will came if we wait, patiently, believing, hoping. But the winter is long and we must endure its cold. I believe in the future, the reality of what is to come, the sweet memories that are yet to occur, probably, eventually, someday.
And I believe in hope and anticipation: the idea that we’ll meet again, and counting down the days until we do.

Jonathan Herrera is batting .800!
See Andrew, he should start :-p

perhaps we should consider starting Hernan Irribarren over Ian Stewart too.

that was the conclusion I drew from your 3 part Stewart player review

HAHA
Actually my job is part of the reason why I had 100 posts. I had to send out 87 separate emails to people in one of our codes who didn’t fill out their paperwork properly when we did an inventory last fall. All the emails are basically the same except for the ### that appy to each person’s item(s) that need to be checked individually. So it was send an email, check gameday, post a comment on PR, send an email, check gameday, post a comment on PR………repeat. I got in a groove.

So actually I can watch a grand total of 2 ST games
One of which has already happened. Great. Won’t somebody think of the Europeans?!
I believe
the correct term would be “hoad” game.

Sorry I bailed in the GT
I had a midterm, which went bad. Geez when did college get so f*(#(*&$(&@(&$#( hard!?
Anyways, good to see the Rox take another ST game. The positives I’ll take from this: Helton hit it far, Esmil/Jhoulys/Belisle looked damn good, and uhhh yeah. Not much else
Defense needs to tidy up, but whatever.
Go Rockies. Does anyone know if tomorrow’s game will be on MLB.tv? I’m looking up and I see it’ll be on ‘Squeeze Play’, whatever the hell that is.
See Russ's post above
FSN is covering edited versions of certain games via SqueezePlay rather than covering the whole game. Tomorrow’s game will not be covered in full, or on MLB.TV

Okay. So like a condensed version of the game.
That’s cool I guess. I don’t have FSN, so that’s moot for me.
No MLB.tv again :O Wednesday though, I’m pretty sure, will be covered.

It should be pointed out that the Rockies struck out just two times today. That’s awesome. I should’ve listed that under my positives. Really good offensive showing so far in the first two ST games.

I want to be the first Squeeze Play centurion.

Since we already know what happened, it's not that thrilling.
It is good to see how the players are actually performing, though. Both Chacin and Rogers demonstrated great form from what was shown

that's why things like hitters hitting line drives, deep flyouts, hard ground balls
Excite me more than the casual fan. And for pitchers, you like to see good location and ground balls.

There were some odd editing decisions. But overall,
I liked the show. The results of the games really don’t matter. The key to spring training is performance and repetition in key areas. In absence of a full game replay, this format works for me. I often listen to the radio and watch the highlights anyway. Two kids under two will do that for you.
I guess the World Poker Tour pulls in bigger ratings than spring training game replays. In essence, they are still broadcasting the game unless they’re picking up from someone else’s feed and layering audio over the highlights. It didn’t seem like that was the case though.

Renck had an interesting tweet
Said Pacheco had another good AB and hit the ball hard. With Rosario coming up, how does Pacheco fit into our future plans?
can he play corner positions (INF and OF) as well? Having someone who could play those and catch would be invaluable.t
Good pitching will beat good hitting any time, and vice versa. ~Bob Veale, 1966
Pacheco is not a liability at catcher but if one of Iannetta or especially Rosario cements the starting catcher spot in 2012 and Pacheco keeps hitting as he has been...
… I foresee them converting him to a corners utilityman.

This sure is one awkward sentence Mr. Thomas Harding:
And, frankly, what might be most important isn’t the hair hanging out of the back of his catching helmet, but lower — the health of his lower back.

Hmmm...
Watched a little bit of video on Chris Nelson. I think his great year in AAA was because he switched batting stances. In this video, you can see how different his stance and swing were.
