In Game Two on Friday, Harris gave up a run on two hits and took the loss. He's pitched in three games, getting two outs in each outing. After a productive year with the Astros, Harris has had a rough series against the Royals. Harris was a Rockies' draft pick in 2006 and had a cup of coffee with the big club late in 2012. We can't forget Will Harris, though, and neither can the Astros. Aside from Fowler, this has probably been the biggest positive impact in the postseason among former Rockies. He threw six innings and gave up two runs in the Astros' win. Colin McHugh started Game One against the Royals and pitched well. The Astros have had mixed success with former Rockies pitchers. None of them are on the Royals, who have yet to use Franklin Morales- their lone ex-Rockie- as they head to a fifth game against the Astros tomorrow. Maybe he's a true Rockie after all!Ī few more players of note have been in action over in the American League. He pitched three ineffective innings and gave up seven hits and six runs. With the Dodgers needing someone not named Kershaw or Greinke to step up and pitch well, Anderson laid an egg. Nicasio didn't make the postseason roster Anderson started Game Three last night. The Dodgers have a couple former Rockie pitchers in Juan Nicasio and Brett Anderson. Pretty uneventful postseason so far for Cuddy. He didn't play in Game Two, but pinch hit last night and drew a walk. Cuddyer started Game One for the Mets and went 0-3. On the Mets, Juan Uribe and Carlos Torres didn't make the postseason rosters, leaving only Michael Cuddyer. In the National League's other series, we have a couple other past-time purple-pinstripers. He's just 2-for-12 in the three games, though he scored two of the Cardinals' six runs in Monday night's loss. The only old friend on the Cards' postseason roster is 2007 should-be MVP Matt Holliday. Opposite the Cubs are the Cardinals, of course. It should be noted, however, that he wore this thing on his head during the Wild Card game. Jon Herrera is also on the Chicago's active roster, but hasn't seen any action yet. Sticking with the Cubs, Jason Hammel is scheduled to take the bump today at 2:30 this afternoon in perhaps the biggest start of his career. ![]() In the NLDS against the Cardinals, Fowler is 3-13 with a double, 2 RBI and one of the Cubs's six homers Monday night. Fowler did most of his damage in the Wild Card play-in game, where he went 3-for-4 with a homer and three runs scored in the Cubs' most important game in many, many years. The player who has made his presence felt the most is probably Dexter Fowler. So which players that we used to root for have made an impact? Well, a handful, though most of them haven't been positive. ( Rob Scahill was on the Bucs' active roster, but never took the mound against the Cubs). Well, here we are in mid-October, with the postseason in full swing, so let's revisit that thought process and see how some old friends are faring in the game's brightest spotlight.īy my count there are nine former Rockies that have played in the postseason thus far (through games played Monday.) Neither the Pirates nor the Yankees used an ex-Rockie in the Wild Card games that ended their seasons. ABOUT six short weeks ago, I wrote a post about how a handful of former Rockies' were impacting the postseason races.
