Segment one, the series and the pitching probables.
[whoosh] Okay, Derek, let's talk baseball architecture.
We have Eric Fedde starting tonight.
He's been a rock for us, but the Rockies are coming off a loss where they were completely shut down.
How do you look at this pitching duel?
It's a classic matchup of intent versus desperation.
They aren't playing for anything but pride, which can sometimes make them loose at the plate.
But you have to respect their ability to score runs if they get hot early.
Right.
And we saw yesterday that when they don't get hot, they struggle mightily.
Colson Montgomery had a historic day too, setting the single-season strikeout record with his 224th K. That's huge for our pitching staff's identity.
[bell dinging]
Absolutely.
That strikeout number isn't just a stat, it's a psychological weapon.
When your shortstop is striking out batters at that rate, it changes how opposing hitters approach the plate.
If we get ahead in the count, can we rely on Fedde to go deep, or should we be watching his pitch count closely?
You wanna go deep, but realistically you need to manage the innings.
If he gets to 40 pitches in the first inning, like he did yesterday, you're looking at a heavy lift for the bullpen later.
The key is efficiency.
If he can keep the Rockies in front of him without chasing strikes, we stay in control.
Efficiency is the name of the game.
