    View quote in context »
    De La Rosa isn't on the roster for the NLDS against the Phillies, making the return of Cook -- and a healthy Cook, at that -- even more paramount to the Rockies success. "When I saw the start last Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers, it was the Aaron Cook that we have --- as the Rockies have grown accustomed to seeing when he's on his game in that manner ...

Ah, the sinker, Cook's pitch of choice, the one that served him well in 2008 when he won a career-high 16 games and made his first All-Star appearance and one that was, to be sure, serving him well again until he left a start on Aug. 21 with a sore right shoulder.

  1. For me, I'm a ground-ball pitcher, so if I'm getting fly balls, I'm not really doing my job. I've been fortunate to come up to Colorado where you have to learn to pitch, to contact, and keep the ball on the ground as much as possible

  2. Initially, yeah, there was a little bit ... Because missing a month to six weeks, you just never know how you're going to rebound.

  3. When I come into a place like this [Citizens Bank Park], I really don't worry as much about the ballpark or the power alleys or how short the fence is, I really worry about getting my sinker down in the zone and getting the ball in play, because I rely on my defense behind me and they've made great play...

  4. I trusted the trainers a lot, went out there, did my rehab, and got back to the point where we were able to mix in the first start and throw 75 pitches, and second start, I think I got up to 85 or 88 ... It was nice to get out there.

  5. I think the first game I had a little bit of rust, walked a few guys ... But after I got past that, I knew my arm was healthy and it was just a matter of trusting that it was healthy and going out there and making my pitches.
