Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Clint Barmes steps in. Lehr puts his slider over for a strike. A second slider is fouled off, 0-2. Slow curve is inside and low. Fastball on the outside corner looked good, but it's ball two. Another pitch in very much the same spot called a ball again. Full count. Sizzling smash down 3B line goes just foul. Another grounder foul. Another.
Walked him. Huh. Up steps Todd Helton.
And a BB...everything is being either fouled off or laid off of...doesn't bode well.
Isn't there something on the back of the ticket that implies you're going to be seeing a major league baseball game?Originally Posted by RedsManRick
So far...this kid is a perfect fit for THIS rotation....
1st inning troubles, and can't throw strikes.

Lehr is throwing 85-88 with a bunch of low 70s offspeed pitch.
Up and away, ball one to Helton. High, ball two. Lined to left, base hit, runners are held.
Loaded, no one out.
David Stern probably would have fined Dusty for today's lineup.

Kip Wells is available to eat innings tonight.
Bases Loaded. No one out.
The Rockies are just where Lehr wants them.

This is sad for Lehr.

1-0 Rockies

Brad Hawpe steps in.
Swing and a miss, strike one on a fastball. Breaking ball misses high. Roller hit towards second, force out at second is recorded- but a run scores and it's 1-0 Colorado on the first out of the inning.
Troy Tulowitzki up. He's really done well in the last couple of months.
Taken strike. Swing and a miss, 0-2. Grounder to third, fair ball is by Rosales and to the LF corner for a double. 2-0 Rockies.
hit down the 3B line
2-0 now
* Rolen would have had that
