Mechanical Flaw

Chris Iannetta spotted a flaw in Ubaldo Jimenez’s delivery:

According to catcher Chris Iannetta, Jimenez wasn’t standing tall in his delivery; rather, bending his back leg too much, too soon. It led him to throw uphill and fly open with his left shoulder. He finished with just 28 strikes in 65 pitches. His previous shortest outing came last week against the Florida Marlins at 5 1/3 innings.

“It’s something he can easily correct,” Iannetta said.

The Rockies have to hope he’s right about that last bit.
