The big 10th win in a row are in the books and the Rockies are cruising right now. Even after our worst bullpen pitcher, Manny Corpas blew a hold, we managed to come back, get timely hitting, and win the game. Why the Rockies even consider using Corpas and any game is over my head, but he is lucky the team is playing the way they are. Corpas needs to be sent down or traded A.S.A.P. Perhaps a Atkins/Corpas combo for a middle reliever that can through a slider. Corpas was only good during the run in 2007 and has not done anything since but blow wins and gives up leads. Now that the infield is basically set with Stewart, Tulo, Barmes, and Helton, there is no longer a need for Garret Atkins in Colorado. He is in a slump and will not get a chance to get out of it because of the way that Stewart has played during the recent weeks. What really makes me mad is that Corpas got the win last night. I get he was the last pitcher of record before the Rockies took the lead, but really, he blew the hold and doesn’t deserve the win at all. I’d rather give it to Street, but really to Marquis. It was a crap “win” for Corpas to get and hopefully we won’t see him today.
The Rockies are doing everything right, with exception to Manny Corpas. They have hit when the need to, especially in the late innings. Majority of the bullpen has done their part and held the other team to a minimum. The starters though are going at least 7 every night and that helps the bullpen as well. Jim Tracy has shown how good they are and now the Rockies are seeing it. Only 3.5 games back of the top spot in the wild card, things are looking good for the Rockies, right now anyways. Number 11 tonight, let’s go Rockies!
