Game 39: Dodgers @ Colorado Rockies 5:4
I remember I managed to see the Rockies baseball stadium (Coors Field, is it?) from the plane taking off from the Denver Airport (strange type of architecture, is it not?). From up there nothing seems to be very spacious, to be honest but judging from some condensed game highlights, the outfield in Coors (frog point of view) is huge. And they (Hawpe) still hit it out from time to time.
Just a couple of minor notes:
(1) Nomah on a ten-game hitting tear? Not that I'm surprised but he's put together not only safe hitting, but also timely hitting, some pop, clutch slaps and excellent defense in the other half of the innings. Impressive. Clearly the best all-around player lately.
(2) Yeah, I agree that Tomko gave up a lot of fly balls (13), some of them *long* fly balls out, but still managed to keep the ball in the park, save for a solo shot by Hawpe. At 5-1 and 2.88 ERA for your fourth starter I don't think he's anything but spectacular.
(3) Are you surprised that out of COL Game1 starters, only Garciaparra is hitting over .300?
(4) What do you think about the idea of circumstantial save, somehow advocated by Grady Little lately?
