Diamondbacks @ Rockies
This was another early game and looks like my last day game for a while. Anyway started out by getting to the gate early and waiting to get around to the Rockies side. When the gates finally opened we made it down to the Rockies side and waited to see who we could get for autographs.
Signing on the wall today was Jeff Francis, Adam Ottavino, Rex Brothers, Wilton Lopez, Tyler Chatwood, and The Baby Bull! I was excited because I was finally able to get some players on my helmet that were needed.
I got Tyler Chatwood and Jeff Francis which was great then talked with Brooklyn, fist pounded Wilton Lopez and Chatted with Francis! BUT BOOM only big guy that I need left on the Helmet is Tulo.. Shocker who knows if I will ever get him. The funny thing is that I told Francis I only really needed him and tulo and he told me “getting Tulo is like getting the President.. I can’t even get him.”
Once the players came out to warm up DJ LeMahieu came to the wall to pick up his photo from Mike and signed my helmet as well. Thank you DJ!
It was a pretty good day getting graphs and it was a good game for the Rockies.
On the mound for the Rockies was De La Rosa and on the mound for the Diamondbacks was Trevor Cahill.
The Rockies decided to get to work early starting with De La Rosa going 1-2-3 in the top of the 1st and in the bottom of the 1st Carlos Gonzalez decided it was a good time to get us on the board with a solo homerun to right field. Dexter then doubled to right and Nolan brought him in on a line drive to left field making it 0-2 Rockies!
The 2nd inning was very slow with no one scoring and the top of the third we held the diamondbacks to none again but in the bottom of the third Cargo hit a triple which scored DJ and then on a wild pitch to Nolan Arenado Cargo scored which put the Rockies up by 4.
In the 4th though the Diamondbacks decided to strike on a double by Wil Nieves, which scored Cody Ross. 1-4 Rockies still on top!
The next few innings went by pretty fast and there was some threatening but no one scored. In the bottom of the 6th though the Rockies Dexter Fowler hit a deep fly ball the right field which it looked like a homerun and they had to go back a review it!
Even though they came back and it wasn’t ruled in the Rockies favor it is always cool to see a play go under review. That was it for scoring! Rockies take this one easily 1-4 over the Diamondbacks.
This game they looked very very good! Pitching was good and offense was good enough to get us the win!
This is where I’m leaving it! Please share the blog the next few days to help me get as many views as I can!
