Thread: The Official Colorado Rockies thread--Now with extra awesome!!

So, not only can he not pitch, he is not a good driver either.

I thought I read somewhere he was injured at the end of last year. I sure hope that's the case, because he was brutally awful in his brief stint in the rotation.

Pomeranz was considered the better prospect, fwiw.

Is that a new style of Patchouli oil?

We will know by May if Ubaldo will ever return to Ace status.

Rockies vs Angels on MLB Network with Pomeranz on the mound.

Been listening and I'm dvring the game at home. Pom sounds good so far.

Did you read Kiszla's hit piece from this weekend?

Some pretty damning quotes from Tulo about Ubaldo. Sounds like he had totally lost locker room support last season.

Not that 28 is very old, I thought he was a few years younger. And a 7.14 ERA in Spring Training is worrisome. Looks like the Rockies may have made the right move.

Been following that story a bit. It all started with Ubaldo a couple of weeks ago saying that he was pissed that he didn't get an extension the same time that Cargo and Tulo did. Honestly, I think the media is making a bigger story than there actually is. I hope Ubaldo can get back to form, but he is making Colorado look like the winner of that trade.

Yeah, truthfully I don't think either side is handling it very well. Ubaldo is coming off as an immature 14 year old in the media - making excuses for his bad performance and complaining openly about a variety of things. Meanwhile the Rockies look like scorned lovers talking badly about him after he's gone. And while I think Tulo has earned the right to speak his mind - I sort of get the impression that his giant contract and leadership role have gone to his head. While I actually appreciate his candor, it seems kind of petty for him to go on the record negatively about a former teammate.
