Alright, so, instead of finishing out the four game series with Round Rock (and preparing for a potential Triple A All-Star selection), Goose would instead find himself thrown to the dogs in the big leagues as Colorado wrapped up a three game series with the Padres. A bit of a rough run right now for Colorado (possibly while Goose was called up so soon), as the Rockies have lost five straight games and 11 of their last 15 games. Goose would have to suddenly acclimate himself to playing in the big leagues and facing MLB starting pitchers.

San Diego 8, Colorado 3
San Diego 2, Colorado 1
San Diego 3, Colorado 2


Obviously nothing from the first two games as Goose didn't get called up until the day of game three.

The third and final game of the series would see Goose making his Major League debut with the Colorado Rockies. It was expected that Goose was going to start at third base, but the coaches apparently changed their minds, as Goose would only see action as a pinch hitter, entering the game in the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs and the bases empty, San Diego leading 3-2. Scratch that, Goose wouldn't even bat. Instead Goose came on as a pinch runner on first base, in action just long enough to watch Michael McKenry fly out to center field. Final stats for Goose, what stats?

Final series stats for Goose, he would pinch run in the final game and that would be it.

Next up for the Colorado Rockies, we host the Minnesota Twins for a three game weekend series before hitting the All-Star break.

(Stealing steeler's Probable Starters preview, I'll probably post this for each series from here on now that we're rolling with the major league club and most pitchers will be known names instead of the randoms from the minors)
