Lineup Card: Rockies vs Padres

What These Two Games Mean

Rockies Lineup (79-65)

1. 2B  Young
2. CF  Fowler 
3. LF  Gonzalez
4. SS  Tulowitzki
5. 1B  Helton
6. 3B  Mora
7. RF  Smith
8. C    Olivo
9. P    Hammel

Can't overstate how important this outing is for Jason Hammel.  The Rockies need innings.  Not just innings, good innings.  Good innings and damn good results.  I feel good about Hammel delivering what is needed.  

Padres Lineup (81-62)

1. LF  Cunningham
2. 2B  Eckstein
3. SS  Tejada
4. 1B  Gonzalez 
5. RF  Ludwick
6. 3B  Headley
7. C    Hundley
8. CF  Venable
9. P     Garland

Get to Jon Garland early.  We saw pretty clear evidence last weekend that he will get rattled and lose focus when things start going against him.
