It's mid-September, and the lineups are starting to get a little wonky. Add in the fact that Carlos Gonzalez tweaked a knee and last night's game was a marathon, and the Rockies are getting a little creative with their lineup.
Wilin Rosario is hitting cleanup and catching. Christhian Adames is playing second base to give DJ LeMahieu a breather. Kyle Parker and Brandon Barnes are giving Gonzalez and Corey Dickerson the night off. Not exactly the "A" lineup.
So Jorge De La Rosa needs to be sharp tonight. That could be difficult since Rosario is catching, a position he does not excel at.
