6 in a row and on the road. Now only if we could figure out how to win at home, we may have something here. Not only did the Rockies win, they actually came from behind in the 7th inning and win. The bullpen is not giving up huge innings with 2 outs (because they traded Jason Gilli), and are hitting when they need to. Even Tulo hit a homer run last night to help with the win. Right now, the Rockies are clicking on all cylinders.
Tonight though, may be the night the streak ends. 1-6 Jorge De La Rosa is pitching and like we have seen all year, when he pitches, the hitting goes to sleep. If the Rockies can give him just a little run support, they can ride this to a 7 game streak. Bullpen needs to strap down and keep doing what they have done so far.
Did you know that the Rockies haven’t lost since the call up of Carlos Gonzalez? I mean, all he did in Colorado Springs was win, so it makes since that they are winning now. With him and Dexter manning the outfield with Brad Hawpe, the team’s potential is very high. The speed alone between Carlos and Dexter is insane and I’d like for someone to name a pair of outfielders on the same team that match speed of the left and center fielders of the Rockies. Also, did you notice what number Carlos is wearing? That’s right, number 5. Our old boy Matt Holliday’s number when he was here. I have to give Dan O’dowd a little credit, as much as I thought that was a garbage trade to Oakland, it really seems to be working out at this point. Street is saving games, Carlos is hitting and playing great defense. Maybe the Rockies are starting to find out who they are and figuring what they need to do to win. Tonight is a good test.
Go Rockies
