Rockies Win Behind Chacin's Strong Start

Pitchers tend to pitch better when they get an early lead. That was definitely the case for the Rockies on Opening Day this afternoon. The offense jumped out to an early 3-0 lead by the end of the 2nd inning, and that was all that Jhoulys Chacin needed to shut down the Brewers for most of 7 innings.

The Rockies blasted 3 home runs (all of the solo variety) in this game. Todd Helton hit the first one to left-center, Josh Rutledge hit the next one to right-center, and Carlos Gonzalez hit the third one to left. Dexter Fowler led off the game with a triple, and rookie 3B Nolan Arenado grounded out to second base to record his first MLB RBI. He would later record his first MLB hit.

The Rockies (1-0) face the Brewers (0-1) again tomorrow night at Miller Park. First pitch is set for 6:10 PM MT. The Rox send lefty Jorge De La Rosa to the mound to face former Cardinal Kyle Lohse in his first Brewers start.

Rockies Healthy and Ready to Go

After posting the second-worst record in the majors in 2012, the Rockies have hired a new manager and are ready to get back into contention in 2013. Injuries killed the pitching staff last season, and led to blowout losses even with such a potent offense. But this season's pitching staff is built on getting ground balls and working quickly through innings. That's the exact formula you need to win in Coors Field.

Jhoulys Chacin will be the Rockies' Opening Day starter, and hopes to have a healthy 2013. Jorge De La Rosa and Juan Nicasio hope to have good years as well. Jeff Francis hopes to build upon his solid 2012, and veteran Jon Garland is hoping to have a good year after being out of baseball since 2011. There weren't many changes to this season's pitching staff, but they are certainly healthier. Youngsters Drew Pomeranz and Christian Friedrich failed to impress in spring training, but will provide depth at Triple-A.

The offense has the same superstars as they always have. Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki highlight a lineup that is always one of the better ones in baseball. Rookie sensation Nolan Arenado will be the team's starting third baseman, and veteran Todd Helton will finally be relegated to the bench against left-handed starters. Wilin Rosario hopes to improve on a great rookie year behind the plate, and Dexter Fowler and Michael Cuddyer are looking to lock down the outfield, both offensively and defensively.

On paper, this looks like a very good Rockies team. If they can stay healthy, they might be able to surprise some people in 2013.

Padres Outhit Rockies by 8, Still Lose by 1

It was a frustrating game to watch if you were a Padres fan. With countless opportunities with runners in scoring position, the Friars could only muster 1 run off of the Rockies. Meanwhile, the Rox only had 3 hits, but scored 2 runs to get the win. Tim Stauffer pitched a gem, going 6 innings while giving up no runs on just 1 hit. He was removed for the game for pinch-hitter Mark Kotsay, who hit a sacrifice fly to give the Padres the lead at the time.

The Padres (3-2) are back in action tomorrow afternoon against the Rockies (3-2) as they try to avoid the series sweep. First pitch is at 2:10 from Coors Field. Edinson Volquez (1-0, 1.50 ERA) will take the hill for the Friars against Jorge De La Rosa (0-0, 4.50 ERA).

Padres Lose 1st Game of Season

After jumping out to an early 3-1 lead on the Rockies, the Padres were feeling good about their chances of spoiling Colorado's Opening Day. But the Rockies battled back, and were able to take the lead on Padres starter Clayton Richard. The Friars found out how good the back end of the Rockies' bullpen is, as they barely put up a fight against Wilton Lopez and Rafael Betancourt.

The Padres (3-1) are back at it again tomorrow evening against the Rockies (2-2). First pitch is at 6:10 PM from Coors Field, as Tim Stauffer makes his 2013 debut against Chris Volstad.

Padres Win in 10 Innings With Huge 5-run 9th

If we learned anything about the San Diego Padres tonight, it's that they simply don't quit. After Cory Luebke was forced out of the game after giving up 6 runs in just 3 innings, the game didn't seem to have much hope for the Friars. Matt Harvey was dealing for the Mets, and went 8 innings giving up just 1 run. But the Padres knew that the Mets bullpen is pretty bad, and exploited it big-time in the 9th inning.

Down 6-1, Jedd Gyorko led off with a single off of Brandon Lyon. He was subsequently pinch run for by Alexi Amarista. Cameron Maybin then hit a single. Jesus Guzman came in as a pinch hitter for Luke Gregerson and hit a single, scoring Maybin. The score was then 6-2.

Everth Cabrera hit a single in his at bat, scoring Gyorko and making the score 6-3. The Mets brought in Scott Atchison for Brandon Lyon, and he got Will Venable to pop out to Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud. At that point the Mets brought in closer Bobby Parnell. The next batter was Chase Headley, and he absolutely demolished a ball over the right field fence to tie the game at 6-6.

In the Top of the 10th, the first 2 batters of the inning (Yasmani Grandal and Alexi Amarista) were quickly retired by Mets reliever LaTroy Hawkins. But Cameron Maybin blasted a solo home run into the 2nd deck in left-center and gave the Padres the lead. Huston Street earned his 2nd save of the season as he shut the door on the Mets in the bottom of the inning.

Cameron Maybin had another huge day at the plate, going 3-for-5 with a double and a home run. He has 4 RBIs through 2 games, and is showing that this could be his break-out year at the plate. He has always been more of a defensive player with great speed, but the addition of power could be huge for the Padres.

The Friars (2-0) are back in action against the Mets (0-2) tomorrow afternoon at Citi Field. First pitch is at 1:10 PM. The Padres will send Andrew Cashner to the hill to try and finish the sweep against Shawn Marcum.

Maybin Leads Padres Offense to Win

Cameron Maybin isn't exactly known for his power, but he certainly showed that even he can get the ball out on occasion. The speedy center-fielder hit a Johan Santana fastball over the fence in left-center for a 3-run long ball that gave the Padres a 3-1 lead in the 5th inning. Everth Cabrera added an RBI single later in the game to give the Friars a 4-1 lead.

Huston Street definitely made his first 2013 appearance interesting. He entered the game in the 9th inning with a 4-1 lead, but gave up 2 runs to the Mets before escaping the game with his first save of 2013 and a 4-3 win. Edinson Volquez wasn't the sharpest he's ever been in his first start of 2013, but he pitched 6 solid innings and got the win on Opening Day.

The Padres (1-0) face the Mets (0-1) tomorrow night at Citi Field. First pitch is at 7:10 PM, as Cory Luebke faces off against rookie sensation Matt Harvey.

Navy Wins Matchup for 11th Straight Time

For the 11th year in a row, Navy has won the Army-Navy Game. It was a well-fought game by both teams, but ultimately Navy's defense proved too much for Army's offense. Sophomore QB Angel Santiago did well in his first start, but poor blocking by his offensive line forced him into many passing situations, which isn't good for a triple-option quarterback.

Army goes into the offseason at 4-8, one win better than their 2011 season. Nevertheless, it is an improvement. It is yet to be seen how long Coach Kiesel's extension will be, but it seems as if he will definitely get one. Hopefully the Black Knights can fare a bit better in 2013.

Sophomore QB to Start 1st Game of 2012 Season

Coach Kiesel has announced that sophomore QB Angel Santiago will start for Army against Navy this weekend. It is a move that most people saw coming, after Santiago wowed coaches with his running abilities while practicing with the 1st-team offense over the past few weeks.
Posted on March 23, 2013 at 11:56 AM.


Army's Bowl Hopes Disappear After Loss to Temple

Army fans are calling for a new starting quarterback after freshman A.J. Schurr's bad performances have added up, as he recorded another bad one today against Temple. He has not shown the rushing abilities necessary to run the triple-option offense. Coach Kiesel said he believes in A.J., but will give sophomore QB Angel Santiago the ability to compete for the starting job for the Navy game in a few weeks. Santiago is more of a runner than a passer, but did throw for a short touchdown on a 3rd-down play in the 4th quarter of the loss to Temple.

The Black Knights have officially been eliminated from bowl eligibility, as they lost their 7th game of the season on Saturday. They still have a chance to obtain the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy if they beat rival Navy on December 8th. Starting RB Raymond Maples is expected to return from his elbow injury for the game, which should help the Army offense a lot. Navy has had a very good season, and is ranked #15 in the country. The Midshipmen have been the talk of the nation with their 9-2 record, but we all know that you can throw records and stats out the window in the Army-Navy game.

Support for Kiesel Through the Roof

Army Athletic Director Boo Corrigan spoke with the media following Army's loss to #25 Rutgers, and among the topics discussed was the odd 1-year deal given to Coach Kiesel when he first started at Army this season. "He wanted that one-year deal. He knows it was odd, but he wanted it. Not to give him an easy out, but because he wanted to prove himself to us. Let me just say that we are extremely impressed with his work this season and hope he will be here for a long time."

After a 3-9 2011 season that saw head coach Rich Ellerson fired at the end of it, Kiesel has led the Black Knights to a 4-6 record with 2 games remaining in the season. He also has a chance to grab the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy with a win over Navy in the annual Army-Navy game. Kiesel heard Corrigan's comments and responded to them. "I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Corrigan and the entire athletic department here at Army. I appreciate their support, and wish this season had started a little better. But our work is not done here. We still have a chance to get to a bowl game, and we still have a chance to obtain the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy. This team isn't done by any means, and we are fully focused on beating Temple this Saturday."

Obviously Coach Kiesel has been impressive in his first season at Army, and all signs point to an extension coming his way after the season. Fans hope that the Black Knights can win their next 2 games and get to a bowl game, but 5 wins would be an accomplishment for a struggling team like Army. Hopefully this is a start to a new era of Army football.
