Opening Day at Home

After a successful road series the Rockies open at home for the 21st time and 19th at Coors Field.

Spirits are high after taking two of three from the Brewers in Milwaukee.  A team batting average of .353 ON THE ROAD and a Team ERA at 3.90.  41 hits 8 Homers's but only 2 Doubles.  19 runs.    The only pitching disappointments was Jorge De La Rosa's 4 1/3 inning outing on Tuesday, giving up 4 runs, and Wilton Lopez' Rockies debut on Monday giving up 3 runs in one inning.  The Rockies as a team only gave up 7 walks in 3 games.

After 20 years of watching the Rockies, you realize they must show more consistency on the road.  Next week they head to two Pitchers parks in San Francisco and San Diego.  No one expects them to hit .353 in either place but the key will be getting base hits and moving runners.  More doubles will help, but it's a good start.

Now to Coors Field.  Play BALL!
