When the Rockies added lefty Drew Pomeranz to the roster Sunday, they had to send somebody down to Triple-A Colorado Springs. That somebody was utility man Jordan Pacheco.

Pacheco had been sharing time at third base with Chris Nelson. He will work to hone his raw third base skills with the Sky Sox, but also will get some duty at catcher and second base.

“We optioned him back with a specific plan in place,” manager Jim Tracy said. “What he needs is repetitions. He needs to be out there play after play, not every three days. We want him to be able to react to the ball off the bat. We want him to mentally react and know what he needs to do beforehand.”

Sunday roster

It’s no secret the Rockies have not played well on Sundays. They set a major league record last year, losing 17 consecutive Sunday games. They are 0-2 this season after losing 5-2 to the Diamondbacks. But Tracy defended his decision to rest a number of starters, including first baseman Todd Helton and center fielder Dexter Fowler. Regular left fielder Carlos Gonzalez missed his second consecutive game because of strep throat.

“This club is built in a way that on certain days we are going to have to do certain things,” Tracy said. “We have to do things this way or there is not going to be much left of them for the second half of the season.”

Stealing blind

Arizona stole three bases with ease off of Pomeranz. So tweaking his delivery to better hold runners is clearly on his to-do list.

“I went to the slide step after they were getting good jumps on me,” he said. “I tried to cut my time down as much as possible, mix up some more looks. Slide step is what I did all last year. This year I’m back to picking my leg up, but I’m pretty long to the plate, so I just switched back to it.”

Said Tracy: “Our catchers have done a really good job this year, but you can’t give (baserunners) a running start like they had today. Adjustments need to be made.”

DENVER — At this rate, the Rockies better invest in some titanium for the guys in the bullpen. Otherwise, their arms are going to fall off from overuse.

On Sunday, once again, a Colorado starter failed to deliever quality innings. This time it was prized 23-year-old lefty Drew Pomeranz. He lasted just 41/3 innings in a 5-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

“I tried to make good pitches and be efficient,” said Pomeranz, who made his 2012 debut. “I ended up throwing a lot of pitches and was behind a lot in the game.”

Pomeranz, the centerpiece of last summer’s trade that sent Ubadlo Jimenez to Cleveland, threw 100 pitches in his short stint, and only 61 were strikes.

Nine games into the season, Colorado’s rotation remains a major building project. Only one Rockies starter has earned a victory. That was Jeremy Guthrie in the season opener at Houston.

As manager Jim Tracy noted, the starters must pitch deeper into games if the Rockies are going to have a chance to contend.

“We have to get more length from our starters,” Tracy said. “Because if we continue in the manner in which we are right now, that’s going to become hurtful.”

The Rockies not only need more innings out of the rotation, they need better quality. The starter’s earned-run averages illustrate the story. The best of the bunch is 49-year-old Jamie Moyer with a 4.22 ERA. The others: Jhoulys Chacin (5.63), Juan Nicasio (6.52), Jeremy Guthrie (7.84) and Pomeranz (10.38).

What the Rockies could use right about now is a pitcher such as Diamondbacks sinkerball specialist Tre-vor Cahill. He pitched 71/3 innings, allowing just one run on four hits. He induced 14 groundball outs and struck out six. He has pitched at least six innings in each of his last five starts, dating back to last season.

“He was good today, getting the right pitch when he needed it,” Rockies right fielder Michael Cuddyer said.

On a bittingly cold and blustery day, the Diamondbacks sunk their teeth into Pomeranz early. Chris Young hammered a 3-2 fastball through the wind and into the left-field seats for a two-run homer in the first. It was Young’s fourth homer of the season.

“I threw a lot of balls down the middle,” Pomeranz said. “I’m really usually pretty good about staying corner to corner. I missed over the middle of the plate to a good fastball hitting team, and that’s what happens.”

The Pomeranz project also includes improving his policing of baserunners. The Diamondbacks robbed Pomeranz blind in the third. Gerardo Parra stole second and third and scored on Young’s single, putting Arizona ahead 3-0.

In the fifth, Arizona loaded the bases with two singles and a walk, setting up a two-run single by Aaron Hill. Trailing 5-0, Pomeranz’s day was done.

“His command was not quite what it was in spring training and he struggled with his breaking ball today,” Tracy said.

Colorado staged a mini-rally in the eighth, scoring two runs on an RBI-groundout by Tyler Colvin and a run-scoring infield single by Troy Tulowitzki. With two outs and the bases loaded, Ramon Hernandez came in to pinch hit against Arizona reliever Bryan Shaw. Hernandez grounded out to first to end the threat.

The Colorado Rockies came through tonight very late to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 on a chilly Friday the 13th evening in Denver. The bats were awakened once more as the Rockies scored runs in five different innings to come from behind late to seal the win.

Nicasio’s Rough Night

I wasn’t planning on going to tonight’s game until around 2 p.m. Fortunately, I was able to grab a decent ticket online and hopped on the light rail to the park after work. The big draw for me tonight was seeing Juan Nicasio’s return to the mound in Denver. The last time he pitched for the Rockies was August 5, 2011, when he was hit by a line drive and broke a cervical vertebrae when he fell to the mound.

While I may have hustled to the ballpark to see Nicasio throw the first pitch, it was certainly not the case for most of the fans. Despite an announced attendance of 30,642 fans, I’d estimate perhaps only a third of them were in their seats by the time Nicasio took the mound. Whether from nerves or just an off night, Nicasio struggled with his control throughout the game. It was easy to tell it was going to be a short outing for Nicasio when he threw 44 pitches in the first inning alone. By the time he was finally pulled from the game in the third inning, he had thrown 91 pitches (42 balls, 49 strikes).

The Rockies Finally Come Together

Fortunately for Nicasio, the rest of the team came together after his exit. I’ve criticized the middle relief pitchers earlier in the season, but the trio of Esmil Rogers, Matt Belisle, and Rex Brothers came in and held the Diamondbacks to just three hits over a span of five innings and allowed the Rockies a chance to rally their bats and come from behind to win the game.

While the Rockies had each positional starting player get at least one hit tonight, the real hero was Todd Helton. Helton had some big hits, but the biggest was in the bottom of the eighth inning when he came to bat with Carlos Gonzalez on third base and two outs. Helton smashed the ball down the line in left field to give the Rockies their first lead of the game at 7-6. From there, Rafael Betancourt came in to collect the save and bring the Rockies up to a record of 3-4.

Things To Ponder

Prior to the start of this game, I had been wondering if Manager Jim Tracy should switch the batting positions of Todd Helton (fifth) and Michael Cuddyer (sixth). Cuddyer has had a faster start than Helton, but the first baseman came through tonight in a huge way. Obviously Tracy won’t be making any changes here soon, but keep an eye on this as the season progresses.

Dexter Fowler continues to have fielding issues in center field. He bobbled and dropped a routine bouncing ball hit out to him, but fortunately it didn’t result in additional bases because the runner himself was lollygagging a bit.

If you think it’s cool to catch a home run ball hit by the opposing team at Coors Field and then throw it back like they do at Wrigley Field, think again. Tonight one poor hapless fan played the hero for a few seconds when he caught a home run ball hit by the Diamondbacks in the third inning. I could hear, even way far out in my left field seat, the fans in the right field seats chanting and egging the poor guy to throw the ball back. He did to exuberant cheers which then turned to boos when ushers came to collect and escort the guy to the exit.

Julie has been a fan of baseball her entire life. While growing up in Atlanta watching the Braves and being born into a family of Los Angeles Dodger fans, she became a Colorado Rockies fan when she moved to Denver in 2001. She has two goals this year. One is to watch (either in person or on tv) 100 Rockies games this season (she’s seen six). The second goal is to become a proficient scorecard keeper.

DENVER (AP) Todd Helton couldn’t convey how glad he was that nobody’s talking about the Colorado Rockies this year – and that was even before his college buddy Peyton Manning decided to play for the Denver Broncos.

A year ago, it seemed everybody had already anointed the Rockies the NL West champions after a busy offseason in which they committed nearly $300 million to their budding stars.

Amid all that optimism, they led their division for 38 days before the bottom fell out and they plummeted to a 73-89 record in what was easily the most disappointing season in franchise history.

Now, even after a massive makeover that included the infusion of veteran leadership into the clubhouse in Michael Cuddyer, Jeremy Guthrie, Marco Scutaro, Jamie Moyer and Ramon Hernandez, not many pundits are predicting the playoffs for Colorado.

And that’s just fine with these rejuvenated Rockies, whose best seasons, playoff runs in 2007 and ’09, came out of the blue.

”We don’t deal too well with expectations for whatever reason,” Helton said. ”So, I hope we’re going into this season without any.”

With this healthy dose of reverse psychology, Helton figures maybe Colorado will be this year’s version of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who were nobody’s pick in spring training last year or at the start of the season but ended up as division champions.

The buzz in Colorado, anyway, is with the Broncos following Manning’s decision to come to Denver.

”I’m excited. I think it’s a good move. He’s a great football player, one of the best of all time,” said Helton, who was Manning’s backup QB at Tennessee in the 1990s before both became stars in their respective sports.

”I think it’s a great thing for the town and will bring unbelievable excitement,” Helton said. ”I can picture him in a Broncos uniform. It’s a Broncos town and they have somebody to root for. He’s going to come in and play well and I’m excited to see it,” Helton said on the same day Manning called John Elway and told him he was going to be a Bronco.

After talking up his pal, Helton turned to a scrum of reporters as he left the team’s clubhouse in Scottsdale, Ariz., and cracked, ”I did get a hit, too, you know?”

At least he’s preparing for flying under the radar.

The Rockies didn’t handle the heaviness of high expectations or the weight of adversity well last year, when ace Ubaldo Jimenez showed up ill-prepared, got hurt and never found his groove before being dealt to Cleveland at the trade deadline. By then, Jorge De La Rosa had undergone Tommy John surgery and soon, rookie fireballer Juan Nicasio would suffer a broken neck when he was struck in the head by a comebacker.

Slugger Carlos Gonzalez stumbled along with star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and before long, the Rockies were freefalling.

”Oh, it was the biggest disappointment that I’ve ever gone through,” Helton said. ”I mean, there was so much expectation and we truly believed that we were going to be a good team and just to crumble the way we did and just to have the lapses and lose the games we did, just unacceptable.”

He said it was even more disheartening than losing the 2007 World Series to Boston in four games.

”Yeah. Because we weren’t expected to go to the World Series. We were at least expected to go to the playoffs last year,” Helton said.

So, general manager Dan O’Dowd brought in some veterans to mix in with the youngsters such as catcher Wilin Rosario and third baseman Nolan Arenado, two budding stars who will be on the Rockies’ roster this summer, even if they start out in the minors for a tad more seasoning.

Hernandez has been a godsend for a young core of pitchers that includes Nicasio, Jhoulys Chacin, Drew Pomeranz, Guillermo Moscoso and Alex White, among others.

Nicasio has made a remarkable comeback from his accident that could have paralyzed or even killed him last summer, and De La Rosa figures to be the Rockies’ ace when he’s healthy again come midsummer.

Gonzalez said he realizes now that he got off to a poor start in 2011 because he wasn’t as prepared as he should have been after a winter in which he signed a huge contract and was the toast of Venezuela following his breakout 2010 season.

So, he had a quieter offseason this time around and expects to return to his 2010 form.

After hitting .228 with just five extra-base hits in April, Gonzalez rebounded to hit .295 with 26 homers and 92 RBIs last season. But he also injured his right wrist from multiple crashes into the outfield walls, which sidelined him for 33 games.

The Rockies went 10-23 in his absence.

”I basically battled the whole year because after I hit the wall that first time, I never felt the same,” Gonzalez said. ”And right now I feel great.”

Gonzalez has long prided himself on his versatility in playing all three outfield positions, but the Rockies are hoping to keep him in left field this season, which should help him get more comfortable with the warning tracks.

”You know what would help me?” Gonzalez said. ”If Dexter Fowler plays 162 games in center field.”

That’s the plan, and Cuddyer is penciled in as the everyday right fielder, leaving Gonzalez in left.

”I would love to stay in one position,” Gonzalez said.

And off the DL.

Tulowitzki also recommitted himself over the winter, holding what came to be called ”Camp Tulo” in Las Vegas, where he worked out with several teammates, including Jason Giambi, Fowler and Arenado.

”Last year humbled me as a player, as a leader. And it humbled a lot of guys in this locker room,” Tulowitzki said. ”You look around and there’s a lot of different lockers that are empty from guys who have moved to other teams. It’s kind of a wake-up call.”

PEORIA, Ariz. — This is his time.

That’s what Chris Nelson knows even if he would rather not delve into what it means. This opportunity, seemingly forever out of his reach as a first-round draft pick trudging through the minor leagues, has dropped into his lap.

With the chances of Casey Blake making the Rockies’ roster decreasing because of a neck injury, Nelson has a prime opportunity to go from faceless bench player to starting third baseman.

“I have been feeling like I could play every day as long as I have been coming to big-league camp. I take the same approach. I try to have fun with it and let my game take care of itself,” said Nelson, who’s endlessly smiling. “To stress about how many people

are competing for this and that, that’s just a distraction I don’t need right now.”

Nelson is no longer a kid. He’s 26 and out of options. This might not be his last chance at an everyday gig, but it could be his best.

“The message is clear: Take advantage of this,” manager Jim Tracy said. “He has responded.”

Once considered one of the Rockies’ top young players, Nelson was derailed by injuries and inconsistency. His career highlight remains his straight steal of home Sept. 9, 2010, at Coors Field in a win over the Reds.

Nelson hit .250 in 63 games last year, splitting time between second base and third. He was frequently the victim of a roster crunch, yo-yoing between Denver and Triple-A Colorado Springs. He arrived

in Scottsdale for spring training as a favorite to win a bench job.

Now he’s in line to help patch a position that helped sink the Rockies last year, possibly splitting time with the versatile Jordan Pacheco.

“He has the tools. Now it’s about getting the most from them,” shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said.

Nelson learned from last season, showing maturity after demotions. Rather than pout in Triple-A, cliché behavior, he played better.

“I didn’t want there to be

any question marks about me,” Nelson said.

That attitude served him well over the winter as he welcomed Rockies infield coach Rich Dauer to Atlanta for three days of defensive workouts in January.

Even if the third baseman is penciled in as No. 8 in the Rockies’ lineup, Nelson has to hit more to be a starter. His right wrist healthy — that limited him last September — Nelson has shown improvement turning on inside pitches. He’s batting .267 in 30 at-bats, but leads the Rockies in line outs.

“It just comes down to being consistent,” Jason Giambi said.

Nelson understands the landscape. It’s possible that he will merely keep the seat warm for top prospect Nolan Arenado, shifting Nelson back to a utility

role.

But baseball doesn’t always follow script. Nelson was once Arenado, a can’t-miss prospect, and his route became a slalom course.

And just as this path opened to third base, he was hit with a fungo groundball in the right temple during batting practice Friday.

Nelson all but waved off treatment. No time for this. Not now.

“It was a little scary,” Nelson said. “I was like, ‘Hold on, for a minute.’ I didn’t want to get hit by a batted ball. After that I told them, ‘I am good. I am good. No problems.’ “

MESA, Ariz. (AP) – Alfonso Soriano hit two home runs and a double to send Dale Sveum and the Chicago Cubs to an 11-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday.

It was Sveum’s first victory since he was hired to manage the Cubs in November.

“It’s better than being 0-3,” Sveum said. “You score eight, nine, 10, 11 runs all the time, you’re bound to win one.”

Soriano led off the Cubs’ four-run second inning with a drive that hit halfway up the scoreboard in left field. He led off the third with a double to the wall in center and added a two-run homer in a four-run fifth.

“I’m a little surprised,” Soriano said. “It’s only the second game and I’m starting to feel good with my swing and my timing. Normal spring, it takes me like 20, 25 at-bats before I feel good.”

Guillermo Moscoso (1-0) gave up four runs and five hits in two innings for Colorado.

Cubs right-hander Matt Garza (1-0), who is being considered for the opening-day start, allowed two runs and three hits over two innings in his spring debut.

“He gave up a couple of runs, but at least the ball was coming out of his hand (well), and he was keeping the ball down,” said Sveum, who added that Garza didn’t use his slider as he worked on his changeup. “I think he probably could have got out of those jams if he’d used his slider. He looked sharp.”

The Cubs’ top outfield prospect, Brett Jackson, hit a three-run homer in the second inning and added a walk. He has made an impressive early showing, including a pair of home runs in two intrasquad games over the weekend.

But the Cubs already have a starting outfield of Soriano, Marlon Byrd and David DeJesus, and Sveum said Jackson isn’t considered a bench candidate.

“I don’t think you’re ever going to have a kid like that not play,” he said. “He hasn’t played a full year of Triple-A. He’s either going to make the team and play every day, or he’s going to be in Triple-A.”

Moscoso, who’s competing for the Rockies’ fifth-starter job, walked two in addition to five hits allowed in his two innings, on a day no Rockies pitcher escaped unscathed.

“Overall we didn’t pitch particularly well today,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “That goes without saying. But on a lot of the other things we did today, I thought we had a very good day.”

That included left fielder Tyler Colvin, who was acquired from the Cubs in a four-player trade in December, going 2-for-3 with a triple and run-scoring groundout.

Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler added a home run off the scoreboard in three at-bats.
