Saturday Rockpile: Jorge De La Rosa and resting Rockies

San Francisco is where strange things happen to the Colorado Rockies.  It is why no one should be upset about Walt Weiss giving Troy Tulowitzki and Wilin Rosario the night off before two straight day games to recover from some early season health issues.  Jorge De La Rosa's issues, however, may be a bigger issue...or not since it is just three games.

Thomas Harding writes about last night's game and the fact that Jorge has now had three straight outings where he can't get through the fifth inning.

Troy Renck gives a similar version of last night's game but with an interesting dig at the home plate umpire who may have been trying to finish up the game quickly to get to dinner.

An interesting article about a young pitcher that many drooled over last year.  I like to have a fangraphs piece linked even if it is not about the Rockies, now if we could get Dave Cameron to look at Jorge and figure out what is wrong.
