Pitching...

Okay, I need to get this off my chest! What is up with the Rockies pitching coaches. I don't know what they are telling the pitchers, or what kind of routine they have the pitchers in, but it looks to me as if the pitchers are not ready to pitch when they come into a game. It takes the starters at least 2 innings to look good, and when the relievers come in they give up walks and then a big homer.

Case in point this Sunday. The Rox were leading into the 8th and in comes MannyCo (and his penciled in 'beard') and promptly gives up a double-homer-double and then settles in and does a decent job, but not until the Phils have tied the game up!

Ninth inning, Houston Street (closer extraordinaire) comes to keep us in it, and hands the Phils the win.

I know, it is only the first week of the season, but we (by we, I mean the Rox) typically have a rotten spring and then decide to play some baseball around July. If Turdle could get them to play in April and May the way they play in July and August, we could win the West hands down! Our division is so bad, that we can suck it up in the spring and still have a shot in August, if we could figure it out and play decent ball in the spring...wow, we could be 10 games up in the fall! UUGGH!

Until next time...
