...but, first, more on Water-Gate.Rockies manager Clint Hurdle had this to say about the footage of Manny Corpas pouring a liquid on his shirt before the ninth inning yesterday: "Until I get further direction, I think we'll handle it internally. I think there's a lot of different things that sometimes, not just our players do, but opposing players do to try and get some type of feel for things in an altitude situation like we're in Coors Field, and from my understanding, poured water on his jersey. I don't know of anything else after that. If we've got to try and redirect some opportunity for him to find a better grip on the ball, I'm sure we can do that."
It seems Hurdle is saying that Corpas pours water on his jersey to get a better grip on the ball. Who knows? But, like Charlie Manuel said earlier, the Phillies will be watching it.

2-1 Rockies after one: Troy Tulowitzki and Matt Holliday homered in the first inning against Kyle Kendrick. Jimmy Rollins answered with a leadoff homer against Franklin Morales.
But Chase Utley struck out again, marking the first time in his career that he's fanned in five straight at-bats. Ryan Howard also struck out. Between them, they're 0-for-10 with eight strikeouts in the series so far.
Not good.
