Colorado Rockies SP Jorge De La Rosa blames himself for communication issues with C Wilin Rosario on opening day Monday, March 31. De La Rosa shook off Rosario consistently, and the battery mates couldn't get on the same page with a runner on second base when the signs were changed. Pitching coach Jim Wright has met with both De La Rosa and Rosario, and the two will work together during a side session Wednesday, April 2. There's currently no plan to have De La Rosa use a personal catcher.

Colorado Rockies SP Jorge De La Rosa and C Wilin Rosario met Tuesday, April 1, to work on their communication after a rough start Monday, March 31. The two had contentious mound visits in a loss in Miami Monday. "I'm going to throw a bullpen (session), and he's going to call all my pitches tomorrow," De La Rosa said. "Everybody thinks I'm mad at him. I don't try to show up anyone. I told him before the game if I do something, I'm not trying to show him up. But people are going to think about things."

Colorado Rockies SP Jorge De La Rosa gave up three hits and struck out seven while walking one in six scoreless innings Wednesday, March 26, which was a drastic improvement over his previous spring outing in which he allowed six runs on nine hits in three innings. De La Rosa admitted that he spent much of camp working on pitching inside to hitters. De La Rosa had a good flow going with C Mike McKenry instead of C Wilin Rosario behind the dish Wednesday.

Colorado Rockies SP Jorge De La Rosa said he's made adjustments to his game now that he can no longer overpower hitters with a 95 mph fastball after having Tommy John surgery. "I learned more from the hitters than ever before. That was the biggest key for me. I worked harder in trying to see what the hitters' holes were and I tried to pitch for more contact." De La Rosa said he watched video of Ps Andy Pettitte and Cliff Lee to learn some things.

Colorado Rockies Ps Matt Belisle, Rafael Betancourt and Jorge De La Rosa could possibly become free agents after this season, so there is speculation leading up to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline that they could be dealt if the team becomes sellers at the deadline.

Colorado Rockies SP Jorge De La Rosa will start Friday, July 19, against the Chicago Cubs, opening the second half. SP Tyler Chatwood will start Saturday, July 20, and then SP Jhoulys Chacin will start Sunday, July 21.

Fantasy Tip: If your head-to-head fantasy league uses the shortened three-day period, De La Rosa, Chatwood and Chacin should be started as you normally would use them. However, SPs Drew Pomeranz and Juan Nicasio should be avoided.
