Sorry for the late start everyone…working for living.
Today’s game, starting at 1:15, with no television. Maybe being unseen the Rox will be unstoppable.
Alas, the Rockies turn to Jair Jurrgens, who was an All-Star in 2011…which is a long time ago. The Padres counter with Eric Stults. Stults, a lefty, is 3-11 with a 4.96 ERA (another potential Rockies starter based on numbers). I don’t expect any no-hitters or perfect games today. Stults at Coors has allowed a .296 BA and an .853 OPS. His ERA at Coors is 4.66 and his WHIP is 1.707. That being said, lefties like him often cause the Rox fits.
Here is the line-ups
San Diego Rockies
Smith LF – .276 Blackmon RF – .291
Denorfia RF – .254 Stubbs CF – .295
Headly 3B – .225 Tulo SS – .348
Grandal C – .205 Rosario – .244
Goebbert 1B – .348 Arenado 3B – .288
Venerabl CF – .192 Parker, K 1B – .000
Amartisa SS – .227 Barnes LF – .254
Falu 2B – .087 DJ 2B – .274
Stults P – .091 Jurrigens – .000
Go Rox! How about a 5 game winning streak to head into the break!

The curse of “Bill” lives on. I was out of state for 5 days in June and the Rockies won 5 in a row. I went out of town on Tuesday and the Rockies have won 2 in a row. I won’t be back until Sunday night so perhaps they can sweep the Twinkies. That’s the good news. The bad news is I am not moving out of state. And I never want to hear about how humid it is… Read more »
