Happy Mother's day to all you wonderful mother's out there and to mine especially!
The Rockies take on the Cardinals this afternoon and face another difficult starting pitcher in Jaime Garcia. The good news? Garcia is 0-2 lifetime against the Rockies with an 11.85 ERA. Hopefully, that coupled with the pink bats and pink stitching on the baseballs will be enough to break the Rockies out of their slump.
A couple lineup notes, Wilin Rosario will be catching De La Rosa for the first time this year and it is no doubt to try and put the best lineup out there possible. Also, Charlie Blackmon will be making his season debut in the eight-hole replacing the recently injured Michael Cuddyer. This is also clearly the A-lineup on a Sunday except for Pacheco at first, so no complaining about poor lineup construction today.
