Here Come the Rockies
I’d hoped to interview a Rockies blogger for this segment, but no such luck, so you’re stuck with me. Colorado is probably the single most surprising team in the big leagues right now (you could make a case for Seattle in the American League); how are they doing it? Mostly by having a balanced attack. [...]
IGD: Padres @ Rockies (25 Jul 07)
Game #100 time: 12:05 p.m. PT tv: none sp: Justin Germano vs Aaron Cook You really do not see a lot of guys with Aaron Cook’s abysmal strikeout rates stick around in the big leagues these days. It’s a credit to Cook that he’s able to make it work, but kids, don’t try this at [...]

Game #99 time: 6:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Chris Young vs Rodrigo Lopez This day in Padres history: 1976: Rookie right-hander Butch Metzger, in relief of Randy Jones, strikes out the only batter he faces and picks up the win thanks to a Dave Winfield double with one out in the bottom of the [...]
IGD: Padres @ Rockies (23 Jul 07)
Game #98 time: 6:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Greg Maddux (7-7, 4.17) vs Jeff Francis (10-5, 4.07) Before the season I thought that Colorado’s pitching would surprise folks, and it has. I also suggested that Jeff Francis could finish in the top 10 in the NL in ERA. That probably won’t happen, but for [...]

Despite his 6-1 career record at Coors Field, Maddux hasn’t pitched particularly well there, sporting a 5.96 ERA over 48 1/3 innings. He’s [...]

Padres Take Second Straight Series, Face Giants Next
The Padres returned to their winning ways on Sunday, beating the Colorado Rockies, 2-1, in 10 innings. Jake Peavy held the visitors mostly in check for seven of those innings while waiting for the offense to break through against Aaron Cook, whose nasty sinker baffled the Padres for most of the afternoon. With two out [...]
