Innings 1-4: Isabelle
Ben Gamel centerfielder WHY. His defense is suspect in left field on anything moving not forwards, so why play him in center in one of the most cavernous outfields in baseball? Dude had better mash.
*Author’s belated note: he has not mashed. He has, however, made me want to mash my face into the nearby foul pole on the basepaths in the fourth.
Speaking of the fourth inning, thus far the Rockies have scored four runs on five hits and it’s been perhaps the least riveting pitching matchups this season. But Christian Bergman has a hit!
