Welcome to yet another Saturday evening edition of Game Thread action sure to be packed with fun and frivolity! First off, I must apologize as I am feeling a bit nauseous as of this writing. I'm not sure if it is due to yesterday's contest or the rough flight I took this morning, but the show must go on! But if I suddenly bolt to the bathroom, you'll know why. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Today's tilt will once again feature the Rockies of Colorado and the Twins of Minnesota. Speaking of feeling nauseous, the last time I was in Denver, I had such a bad case of altitude sickness that I spent my first night there emptying the contents of my stomach due to worst migraine this empty head of mine has ever endured!
But, I digress. Today's pitching matchup features Antonio Senzatela, a right hander from Venezuela. Antonio sports a not all that great 4.42 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in his 11 games started this campaign. He'll go up against fellow righty Chris Archer, who hails from North Carolina. He carries with him a tad bit better 3.44 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. I'm not sure this is what will cure what ails me/us, but that's the medication we've been given.
The fellas helping those two do the voodoo that they do are as follows:
For the visiting Rockies!
LF - Joe
DH - Blackmon
2B - Rodgers
1B - Cron
3B - McMahon
