As the National League Wild Card game draws closer to first pitch on Wednesday night, the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks were each required to set a 25-man roster for this playoff round; the winner will be able to set a new and different one for the Division Series that begins on Friday in Los Angeles.

Rockies manager Bud Black and Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo have also set their starting lineups for the Wild Card game from those rosters, so the stage is now set — tonight, the Rockies hope to advance to the Division Series for the first time since 2009 with joebloe on the mound.
