108.8 off the bat from Seiya. Dakota Hudson sucks out loud but real encouraging. 

Probably should have pulled it. It was middle-middle. 

[CubinNY]

LOB is going to be an interesting stat for this team this year. 

[squally1313]

Pretty insane

 

[Andy]

Oy. That was a hard-hit ball but Morel flat whiffing on it is not the best.

[squally1313]

Unreal how often the ball has found Morel there

[Illiterate Scholar]

Oh, so Morel's inability to catch liners may not just be flukey

[CubinNY]

103 off the bat, but Morel should have had that ball.

Well I have Bryant in Fantasy 🙁

he's going to have to

[CubinNY]

damn it that was a strike.

[Rex Buckingham]

dude called a pitch 2 inches higher a strike to Seiya

[Rex Buckingham]

I love how animated he is on the mound

[squally1313]

That is a nasty split. You can see it fall off the table.

And man, the emotion already. Could be a fan favorite quickly here. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Imanaga is fired up after each strikeout 

[PackLandVA]

The error and a 13-pitch K jumped his pitch count up a bit.  But it's still in the average-ish range.

[Tim]

Shota is awesome

[UMFan83]

Granted, I haven't actually seen any of Morel's errors yet but it sounds like he's blatantly atrocious out there.  I mean sure give him a little more time but he's played 200 games in his career at 3B, its not like its a completely new position.

That his 2nd error, the first one was a throwing error, so yea it's way early to close the door on him there or call him atrocious. 

I doubt the plan B is to start Wisdom or Madrigal there everyday,  so I'm guessing he going to be given a long opportunity there until at the very least  possibly Shaw is ready or maybe there's a 3rd basemen available via trade come July

shout out to the wind, I always liked you

[Jason Ross]

Rockies #2-8: Nothing

Blackmon: two good swings.

On a different day Blackmon has 2 HRs today.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Thanks, wind 

[CubinNY]

On a normal day Blackmon has 2 HR.
