McBride Debut in Loss to Giants

8/4/2012

Giants @ Rockies Game 2

This was another early afternoon at the ballpark. I went to the game with my parents and my little cousin which was really fun. WE went down early for batting practice but walked away with no balls, yet again. This was the third game in a row that I missed out on baseballs which is really starting to hurt me in the fact that I’m running out of baseballs for autographs.

After BP we headed over to the wall to get some autographs. I had my cousin with me so I tried to get her as many autographs as possible. She did end up getting Jonny Herrera and Josh Rutledge but we will slowly have to work on her ball and try to get more autographs.

This was the MLB debut for Matt McBride and so I was trying to get his autographs but didn’t end up getting him.

We headed up to our seats and watched the game. It was a shaky start for Francis who gave up 2 runs right away but settled down and sadly he only lasted 3 and 2/3^rd innings and gave up 6 runs.

Francis 1st pitch

Josh Roenicke came in and pitched 3 and 1/3^rd scoreless innings which has been great because he has been solid on most of his outings.

The Rockies bats started to come alive in the 6^th inning when Josh Rutledge homered giving the Rockies their first run of the night. In the 7^th McBride doubled which gave the Rockies another run and Jonny Herrera singled as the next batter scoring McBride.

The rest of the game was a complete mess and the Giants took advantage of the Rockies pitching and dominated us. The Rockies did end up scoring 3 more runs but compared to there 11 it wasn’t enough.

Matt McBride did have a good Debut going 2/4 with 1 RBI and 1 run scored. To me that was a decent debut! Good luck the rest of the season Matt!

My cousin took charge of the camera and so I have to give some of the credit to her for some of these. It was very tough tonight watching the pitching staff fall apart yet again but in the back of my mind I ask myself how much I can handle and take the rest of the season. Either way I will still be there supporting my team and go through the pain just like players.

The Giants take Game 2, 11-6, over the Rockies.

Not Sure What to Name This One

8/3/12

Giants @ Rockies

This is going to be one of the shortest post that I’m going to have. It was just a bad day in general. I showed up early to get graphs and didn’t get any autographs, no balls from BP, and the Rockies got whipped.

Also ended up meeting Jared from Rox Walk Off!

During BP the Rockies hit all around me and same with the Giants. This was the second game that I was shut out of BP balls, which sucked but what are you going to do.

I headed over to get graphs with EB but standing in the second row I didn’t get any. The players to sign were Jordan Pacheco, Josh Rutledge, Todd Helton, Tyler Colvin, and DJ LaMahieu. I did however get Dinger on my team bat which was awesome… because it’s not a team bat without the mascot!

Once the game began I realized that I didn’t have my camera and knew that with the air kind of muggy that my phone would not take good pictures.

It was good to see that we got some runs on the board late in the game but the next inning it didn’t matter. Rosario has come through the last couple of games to get us some runs and he hit a 2 run homerun last night that was hit hard and fast! It seriously was a line shot to left field!

I’m not going to go into much detail because you probably already know that the Rockies got spanked with a final score of 16-4.

I will be at the rest of the game this weekend and hopefully I get to see a win. If you see me around Coors don’t forget to say hey! I saw Cathy last night and helped get her kids some autographs and so I hope that they had a good time!
