1) Yikes...tough night (cold Colorado April night) to try and get a feel for the ball and to find your spots...U-Ball looked rusty and the Giants took advantage. After sending 9 men to the plate in the first and throwing 37 pitches, U-Ball settled in, struck out 5 and faced only 14 more batters. Fantasy players must be very unhappy right about now...
2) I love Spilly and his attitude but frankly after tonights outing I think it is time to bring someone else in. He is batting 0.188 and went 0 for 4 tonight with two K's and his second K really hurt tonight because the Rox had made it a 6-3 ball game with runners on 2nd and 3rd. Base hit in this situation would have made it interesting...time for some young blood...
3) Tulo and CarGo looked miserable tonight. They were 0-8 for night and if they feel like they have to carry this team and the team feels like leaving it up to these two then this season is going to go down the tubes pretty quickly. Someone has to step up...no one did tonight except for Fowler.
4) By the way what was up with the bottom of the fourth inning? CarGo flies out on the first pitch he sees and then Tulo takes an oopsy swing on the first pitch sending a dribbler to the pitcher to make out number two. Really two pitches, two outs, to the heart of the order? Thankfully Helton took some pitches before grounding out to second.
5) Smith had a nice pitch hit sacrifice in the bottom of 5th...at least someone had a productive at bat...
6) Giants pitchers are good but not this good...4 hits allowed last night and 3 tonight? If we are this flustered with the World Champions then let's start playing for the Wild Card...
7) Some nice defensive plays again tonight...especially liked Lopez's basket catch in the 6th
8) Oh yeah one more thing if Scherholtz had made that play on Dex's double in the first the Rox would have been no hit again though 6 innings...Rox better find their bats tomorrow or they will find themselves 5-5 at home!
