Before they play the regularly scheduled game, the Rockies and the Giants will finish the suspended game from May with the score 2-2 in the bottom of sixth. Yohan Flande and Ben Paulsen has been recalled today as part of the 40-man roster expansion. Rafael Ynoa was also called up and Boone Logan was moved to the 60-day disabled list. Chad Bettis was pulled from his start today down in the minors so we may also see Bettis up with the Rockies.
Franklin Morales (5-7, 5.14) takes on the crafty veteran Tim Hudson (9-9, 2.90) in the regularly scheduled game. Morales has pitched well as of late, but he did not have much run support. Colorado just completed a seven-game road trip with a paltry .151 batting average.
LINEUP TBD
Monday 9/1, 2:10 PM MDT at Coors Field (after completion of suspended game)
Radio: SF: KNBR 680 COL: KOA 850, KNRV 1150

I wonder why Ynoa over Adames? Also will they bring up Rafael Bettancourt to restock the bullpen?
As expected, Rox bullpen on the losing end of bullpen matchup against the Giants in the suspended game completion. Need Betty up to pitch 8th and move Zero down to 7th. Shut down TMI for the year.
RMH, I think that Adames was sent back to Tulsa because Tulsa is in the Texas League playoffs. Otherwise, I’m sure that he too would have been called up. We may see him after the Texas League playoffs are over.
If Weiss is retained after the season it will truly send a message that ownership is indifferent to success. Also if Keith Dugger returns I will be flabbergasted.
In answer to your question, “will the offense show up?”, I will go out on a limb and say “no”.
Three Mile Island warming up in the 7th inning in a one run game????? NO NO NO NO NO
“three mile island” = 5 stars for sure!
Question answered: Offense showed up. (PItching did not.) Regardless, raise the RWO counter to 7.
And the stat I hate: Hawkins gets the win.
Am glad I was wrong!!
