"Josh Geer is living on the side of a mountain."

That's what the Rockies announcer said a few minutes ago anyway, a reference to Josh's working behind in the count to nearly every Colorado hitter. That's usually not a good sign for a pitcher. Sure enough, Josh has given up 3 runs to the Rockies through 3 innings tonight.

Josh's changeup has a big 12-to-6 break tonight and he's been throwing it for a strike on 2-0 and 3-0 counts. That's a nice ability to have in the arsenal. Unfortunately it's an ability that matters little when you can't locate your 88 mph fastball, as Josh can't tonight.
