C John McIvor (remember him?) is ready to try to play, so he was activated from the Disabled List. He has been out since May 19. He is undoubtedly our best catcher, but we will play him sparingly for a while to get the rust off. The minors are shut down, so we cannot send him on a rehab assignment. I also do not want him to get hurt again, because I plan to try to trade him this off-season. I do not have a lot of hope of anyone giving us anything, but I still want to try.

Portland Beavers (58-87 .400 26.5 GB in 7th place in the NL West) at
Colorado Rockies (72-73 .497 12.5 GB in 5th place in the NL West)

Angel Rodriguez, Por (23 R 5-7 5.22 8.9-1.3-4.4-5.2 H/9-HR/9-BB/9-K/9) vs Greg Douglas, Col (26 R 3-4 6.31 10.8-1.6-3.7-5.3)

On June 16, we lost to Douglas, 10 to 4, here in Denver. In 5.1 IP, he gave us 4 R, 7 H, 2 BB and had 5 SO.

I am loathe to send poor Angel out their today at Coors, but who else can I use? Billy Rueter? He is the one who lost to Douglas last time. Ricky Chase? Steve Mulder? They all stink....
