Rockies (Hudson) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 4/1/24, 1:20pm, Marquee

This ump sucks. Also both those Blackmon fly balls are probably home runs in the summer. 

[PackLandVA]

Another loud out, this one to the warning track, by Blackmon. Ump missed the previous pitch for a strike on the outside corner. Count of 1-2 turned into 2-1.

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

We're currently effectively running Mike Tauchman out there as our every day DH, you could absolutely just give that line up spot to Wisdom/Madrigal and take Morel's glove away from him and not lose pretty much anything offensively.

That was a really good pitch. Shame on any ump that doesn't give that to the pitcher.

Boog wants to know Taylor M better. 

[PackLandVA]

Happ is the most shaky-looking former Gold Glove recipient I've ever seen.

[PackLandVA]

Count 'em, 6 Ks thru four innings. Wonder if that white plastic floating past home plate grabbed KB's attention a bit.

[squally1313]

As mentioned earlier, Hudson is terrible. Please start hitting accordingly. 

[Jason Ross]

The Rockies are just a miserable organization right now. Please let's get to these guys.

A second brutal high strike call on a Cub hitter.

[Cubs420psd]

Lol this strike zone is wild.

I don't think I've ever seen balls that high called as strikes. Especially more than one.

Tauchman is in the lineup because outside of Mastrobuoni,  they dont have a lefty bat that capable of DHing most every game.

Wisdom will return in a week or two and will likely be the DH for the most part, my guess is that Madrigal or Cooper will be the odd man out when he returns.

They need to add a more capable LH bat to DH

I'm getting a great feeling watching imanaga. This guy looks looks like a pitcher. I'm giving Jed a high five

No they don’t. They need to add a bat to play 3rd. Morel needs to DH. I was all for trying him there because if he could have done it then they could get that left handed bat for DH. But sit is now, he doesn’t appear to be able to handle it. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a debut. His command is special. 

[LBiittner]

Thru 5. 

I'm gonna say it. 

Imanaga has a ...

[Jason Ross]

Shota killing it so far. Great debut.

[JHBulls]

Shota is damn good.

An". He has an eight strikeout performance. 
That's what you mean right...?  Right...?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Our best starter isn't on the DL after all.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Nico Theriot needs to get the ball on a line. He's such an easy out.

Maybe 3rd time through the order 🙄🙄

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I’ve seen this game thousands of times. Some wiener on the Rockies is going to hit one in the basket soon.
