The teams are scheduled to make up the game on July 15 as part of a split doubleheader. The Giants and Rockies are scheduled to play the series finale on Thursday afternoon, though the possibility of rain and snow are in the forecast. The starting pitchers for Thursday's game are left-hander Derek Holland (1-4) for the Giants and lefty Kyle Freeland (2-5) for the Rockies.<doc-sep>The Giants have been told this game has been cancelled. The Rockies will officially announce it after the few fans here have spent a bit more money. — Alex Pavlovic (@PavlovicNBCS) May 9, 2019 Is there a game? Will it be played? Or will the weather create a lengthy delay? Maybe even a reschedule, can you imagine? Two doubleheaders we can look forward to, right here in Coors Field where there’s plenty to do. Doubles and triples and Dinger — can you imagine? There’s so much Coors to seeeeeeeeeee... Ahem. Anyway, this game might get rained the f out, so if that happens, please fill this space as you normally would with nothing but wall to wall running NBA and NHL commentary. If there is a game, the Rockies have decided to throw a bunch of right-handed batters at Derek Holland: RF — Charlie Blackmon SS — Trevor Story 3B — Nolan Arenado 1B — Mark Reynolds LF — Raimel Tapia CF — Ian Desmond 2B — Ryan McMahon C — Tony Wolters SP — Jon Gray Holland was activated off the 10-day injured list, taking the place of Williams Jerez, who was sent back to Triple-A. We will probably see Jerez again once the Giants start unloading their bullpen arms for fringey utility players and 22-year old A-ball lottery tickets, but just in case we don’t, we’ll always have this image from Natto: Meanwhile, Buster Posey looked like he had altitude sickness or just needed a blow last night, so here is Stephen Vogt catching and batting third... if this game even gets played. Maybe this is just one of those wild lineups Bochy made because he knew it wouldn’t count. Oh, and one quick note about last night’s game: The #SFGiants scored 13 of their 14 runs last night with two outs... according to Elias, that is the most two-out runs scored by SF since moving west in 1958. — #SFGStats (@SFG_Stats) May 8, 2019 Regardless of what happens in Coors Field, GO SHARKS. UPDATE:<doc-sep>DENVER, CO - APRIL 22: Snow coats the empty seats as the game between the Atlanta Braves and the Colorado Rockies was postponed due to snow at Coors Field on April 22, 2013 in Denver, Colorado.

(Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images) Colorado Rockies: There is a need to reshuffle the lineup Colorado Rockies: There is a need to reshuffle the lineup by Aaron Hurt The Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants had to battle rain on Wednesday night before finally deciding to postpone their game. On Thursday, the two teams will be trying to see if they can get their game in with snow falling in the Denver area. Snow began falling in the Denver region overnight and is continuing this morning, with temperatures hovering in the low 30s. This is the second time this season the Colorado Rockies have had to deal with snow during a scheduled day game. The April 10 game against the Atlanta Braves was postponed until August 26 because of forecast snow which hit downtown Denver in the early afternoon. Our friends at @RockiesWX on Twitter are keeping an eye on the weather and what it might mean for the game. Here are their thoughts on what Thursday is looking like. The Giants and Rockies were unable to play on Wednesday night and the game will be made up as part of a split double-header on July 15. With the postponement, the Rockies shifted around their pitching for Thursday’s scheduled game. Kyle Freeland (2-5, 5.90 ERA) will take the mound against San Francisco’s scheduled starter for Wednesday, Derek Holland (1-5, 5.34 ERA), in a battle of left-handers. Jon Gray was scheduled to start on Wednesday but the washout has pushed him back in the rotation. This weekend, the San Diego Padres will come to Denver for a three-game series and the Colorado rotation is still in flux because of the weather delays and has not been announced.
