February 21, Game 1 Rockies Spring Training

 Top 1: 3 strikeouts is an inauspicious way to start your offensive season.


Bottom 1: Hello Bradley Blalock, 3-up, 3-down innings are always a treat.

T2: There was only strikeout, huzzah!

B2: Leadoff single that doesn't leave first base is a win.

T3: Pitcher 3 for Arizona gives up 2 2-out walks loading the bases but the No in Nolan Jones strands them.

B3: Anthony Molino on the mound has no fun.

T4: Adael Amador keeps the line moving with the bases loaded them Brenton Doyle brings everyone home with a grand slam.

B4: Alec Barger walks one facing three major leaguers.

T5: Yanquiel Fernandez, the 2024 4th rated prospect subs in, flies out.

B5: Jimmy Herget does not introduce himself well to Rockies fans.

T6: deep into below replacement player talent on the mound, Amador the only Rockie to not strikeout.

B6: Jack O'Loughlin gets only major leaguer he faces to ground into double play.

T7: #3 2024 Rockies Prospect Zac Veen doubles collecting a RBI and restarting the gauge on the Veenometer for a callup during the regular season.

B7: Googled Juan Mejia. 393 K in 327.2 minor league innings  He collected two strikeouts here.

T8: Trevor Story compensation pick Sterlin flying out is more disappointing than Greg Jones and Owen Miller failing to cash in a runner with the bases loaded.

B8: Baseball reference has 27-year-old Dugan Darnell listed as a pitcher and third baseman.  He pitched a clean inning.

T9: 12 Rockies come to the plate, loaded bases emptied by a Benny Montgomery double. Jake Rice will not be a Dback this season.

B9: Former 2019 2nd round draft pick Karl Kauffmann kept the contact soft but gave up a run.

March 12th, Colorado Rockies Spring Training Game stuff

 Under the category of "random Rockies players a fella liked too much", Jose Iglesias led the game off for the San Diego Padres. Yes it's absolutely cause he cried after he got his first hit as Rockie which was also his first hit since his father passed away. Preseason success against a "stop on the road team" for him is allowed. Unless you are really rooting for Jake Woodford to make the Opening Day roster or at least position himself to be an early callup during the season. This would be Woodford's third consecutive outing giving up at least a run. He did finish strong retiring the side in the second inning. In the bottom of the second, Thairo Estrada singled, stole second, moved to third on a "productive out" by Hunter Goodman then scored on a wild pitch. While Iglesias was tasked with keeping the seat warm while Rockies fans awaited the arrival Tovar, Estrada is in the same position as fans await Adael Amador. Let's hope this script plays o...

February 26, Rockies Spring Training Game 6

 Scrolling through Rockies Bluesky accounts, Renee  Dechert posted, " Patrick Saunders wrote in a column this morning that “barring a significant setback,” he expects Chase Dollander to start the season in the Rockies rotation. That friends makes today's starter Ryan Feltner number 4 on the Rockies rotation, if everyone is healthy. Seems logical to give him the Philadelphia game in Philly over the rookie. Feltner gave up 2 runs on 3 hits after watching his offense collect a hat-trick of strikeouts. Nick Martini hit a homer to put the Rockies on the board in the top of the second. An underwhelming thus far Adael Amador, with 2-on and 2-out, hit his first 2-bagger of spring training putting the Rockies ahead. Fittingly, Feltner's second inning of work was a wonderful 3-up, 3-down effort. Anthony Molina came on in the third to pitch for the Rox. He struggled his first appearance giving up 3-runs so seeing him go through the inning only giving up a walk was nice. He'd watc...

March 9, Colorado Rockies Spring Training Game

 Ezequiel Tovar led off the top of the 4th with a double, making it two games in a row he has hit a double after going 0-9 the first three games of the month. Nolan Jones singled to bring him home as he raises his average to .172. To be fair, at this point he is hitting .333 in March. Starting pitcher Ryan Feltner made it to the fourth inning only allowing one baserunner. He would issue three consecutive walks in the fourth, albeit the first walk issued was thrown out trying to steal. Zach Agnos came in to relieve Feltner with 2-on and 2-out in a 1-run game (building up the pressure of the moment). Agnos got Rowdy Tellez to fly out, crisis averted! Agnos came back out for the 5th inning and with 1-out gave up his 3 home run of the spring. It is now a hat-trick of appearances giving up at least one run. The fantastic interview he is, Agnos is quickly returning to longshot status. Scott Alexander had himself an interesting day on the Rox mound in the 6th inning. While Alexander is ...
