I'm following this one on gameday.

2-1 Rockies, bottom 7.

Hawpe leads off with a hit. Torrealba bunts him over. Proctor pitching. Quintanilla due up. Hurdle goes to .... KOSHANSKY?

No thread hijacking here, and maybe Joe Ko will come through. But really ... isn't this the kind of situation that calls out for "veteran pinch hitter?" Or at least for "hitter who's had more than half a dozen major league at bats?"

I still cringe when I see what O'Dowd has given Hurdle to work with here.

EDIT: JoKo doubles. As I was saying, I'm sure glad we're not relying on some washed up Mark Sweeney instead of a young stud like Koshansky ....

EDIT 2: Bases loaded, Holliday up, 2 outs. Matt, if you want serious MVP consideration, now's the time to hit one out ...
