Lineup Card: Rockies @ Marlins

Is the wind blowing out to right again?  If so, give me a bat.  I think I could park one about 5-10 row ups those bleachers myself.

Rockies Lineup (50-42)

• CF  Fowler
• 2B  Herrera
• LF  Mora
• RF  Spilborghs
• C    Iannetta
• 1B  Eldred
• 3B  Stewart
• SS  Barmes
• P    Francis

Gonzalez sits with a bruised finger.  He needs to catch his breath and slow his heart rate down anyway.  Good day for that against a lefty.  

Mora in LF shouldn't cause too much harm defensively.  LF in Florida doesn't seem like too difficult a task. (Now watch him make three errors)   It'll put a little more pressure on Fowler to cover ground though.  That's not easy because there is more ground in the right-center field area.  

Marlins Lineup (45-47)

• LF  Bonafacio
• 3B  Helms
• SS  Ramirez
• 2B  Uggla
• 1B  Cantu
• CF  Ross
• RF  Stanton
• C    Paulino
• P    Robertson

Lots of luck to Jeff Francis maneuvering himself around this lineup 2-8.
