No worries, we got this

Here we go, tonight we start streak number 3, right? No, we can’t just expect the Rockies to keep going on these unreal winning streaks and occasionally losing. The Rockies are not the baseball version of the New England Patriots. I’ve said before, it’s all about responding to losses and winning series. Keeping losing steaks to a minimum and staying focused and smart for nine innings.

Last night, Jim Tracy made his first mistake as manager of the Rockies, leaving Jimenez in the game in the 8th inning after he let the first two men on. Jimenez then went on to load the bases and give up the game winning hit. Jimenez had a great start and I don’t remember a pitcher for the Rockies that could throw into the high 90’s after 100 pitches in a game. Jimenez will win a Cy Young award by the end of his career. He still has a lot of work to do but if the Rockies keep working with him and by working with him I mean coaching him and when its time, extending his contract with the team, he will be an elite pitcher in the league.


Rockies ace Jason Marquis is pitching tonight so we have a very good chance at taking the series. Although it was hard watching former Rockies closer Brian Fuentes close out the game for the Angles last night and strike out Clint Barmes to end it. I hope the Rockies blow out the Angles tonight, but if it is close, nothing would make me happier than watching Fuentes blowing a save against his former team.


Go Rockies
