Murphy has Weiss' attention with power burst
Murphy's three-run shot 0:48 9/23/15: Tom Murphy lifts a three-run home run to left field, bringing the Rockies within one run with his third homer of the year DENVER -- Over the past five weeks, the Rockies called up two catchers from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill the roster spots of backup catcher Mike McKenry (lateral meniscus tear) and starting catcher Nick Hundley (cervical neck strain).
Manager Walt Weiss has used Dustin Garneau and Tom Murphy on an alternating basis since Hundley was placed on the 60-day disabled list on Sept. 11, giving them equal time and playing them every other day, taking matchups and other considerations out of the decision-making process.
