Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

NLCS Game #2: Ubaldo Jimenez vs. Doug Davis

The Rockies won what was probably the toughest part of this series last night by beating Brandon Webb. Ubaldo gets another shot at a playoff game and who doesn't want to see him match his first game? OK, we won't want the four walks or another power outage, but 6+ innings and five strikeouts, sure.

Go Rockies!

Just getting a jump on things so we can also
comment on the ALCS, tied one to one now in the bottom of the first. Neither Beckett or Sabathia (the premiere pitching matchup of the postseason according to the East Coast) have looked particularly impressive thus far.

They recover
1-2-3 for both, including Sabathia K-ing the side.

I really don't care about that.
In my mind, the Rockies have already proven they can beat the Red Sox this season, so I want to see what we can do against Cleveland.

Oh, and it helps that I live in Cincy now and would be able to do what it takes to get into one of those games. :)

Besides
if it was a Cleveland/Colorado WS and God forbid we didn't win, I wouldn't have to kill myself to avoid seeing the insane hero-worshiping and the magnification of the considerable arrogance of the Crimson Hose and their fans. I don't mind the Indians.

It's kind of fun to watch them get dejected
I must admit, part of my favorite part of my trip to Boston this summer was enduring endless "Rockies suck" taunts as we were whooping them. They just couldn't see it coming, and then after the game they got all depressed and drunk and I kind of wanted to kick them some more. This could be my metaphorical chance if we see them again.

by Rox Girl on Oct 12, 2007 6:19 PM MDT up reply actions  

Same here
Red Sox are my least favorite team in sports, and whether others agree or not, they're ruining baseball (along with the media bias). At least for me.

by Slica on Oct 12, 2007 6:34 PM MDT up reply actions  

I totally agree
They are the same as, and just as evil as the Yankees..maybe worse, at least many fans of the Yankees know they are rich, spoiled, and obnoxious.   I throw the Cubs right in there as well.

Lofton, Gutierrez, Blake
That double by Casey notwithstanding, I really don't know if that would be the toughest lineup we would face this postseason with those three at the bottom, and Peralta being kind of one dimensional. I'd rank Philly ahead for sure, and the D-backs would be behind both except for maybe when Owings pitches. I think this Cleveland team has more holes than I've been led to believe by these Ohio newspapers I read.

I actually doubt they'll get past Boston, particularly now.

by Rox Girl on Oct 12, 2007 7:15 PM MDT reply actions  

"except for when Owings pitches"
Joke's on you, because we cloned Owings. He'll now be starting at every position.

Granted, against you folks, we're going to have to find something to do with all these Brandon Webbs we cloned as well... :-\

what a stiff.   M's are one of my "back up" teams due to all the time I spent in the NW the last few years.  I can't stand Sexson...He's a major waste.  And I'm not sure what M fans see in Beltre either.

Probably the same thing Dodgers fans did
I know a few who were upset when he left, but I tried to tell them I was more upset.

by Rox Girl on Oct 12, 2007 7:26 PM MDT up reply actions  

I think
Its more to do with:

-The black hole that is Sexson
-The Damon arm that Vidro's power equals
-The disappointment of Lopez (my fav M, but man)
-Trading Soriano for Ramirez (my former fav M)
-Jeff Weaver
-Adam Jones being called up WAY late and promptly benched to 'learn' instead of playing like he should...he was mistreated BADLY
-Raul Ibanez trying to play LF at Safeco (while Jones is on the bench)
-Rick White pitching in high leverage situations over Sherrill, Green, Putz, and the rest of our awesome bullpen
-Asdrubal Cabrera pulling a Carlos Guillen (lucky for us Eduardo Perez was a GEM and Ramon Santiago got to play in the WS...at 2B beside Guillen, the guy we traded for him)

So yeah, Beltre wasn't too bad this year, thus he stands out more in a season filled with overachieving.

by Slica on Oct 12, 2007 7:34 PM MDT up reply actions  

Here's what I heard
Beltre? Beltre is far down the list On the List of M's screw ups/problems that need fixin.

Hey, so far you've got the best bullpen
Out of the teams we've faced, and if we don't get past you guys, you'll have the best rotation, too. If Sabathia keeps on pitching like this and Cleveland somehow makes it past Boston, maybe you'd win that title even when we do win three more here. You've got to admit your lineup will see better days in the next few years than it does now.

by Rox Girl on Oct 12, 2007 7:23 PM MDT up reply actions  

Better days in the years ahead?
Certainly. Our kids have already grown up so much this year it's not even funny.

Ned Coletti's doing his best to screw up what he's been given. I don't know what they expected from a Giants guy. I figure this AZ/COL NL West tandem in the playoffs will be more the norm than the exception in the coming years. They say the playoffs are a crapshoot, so if that's the case, you (and us) will always have a shot when you get here.

UBall did not have his control today and still battled and turned in a quality performance. He's probably done, so let's put some runs up for him this inning and get Herges and the bullpen out there to bring this one home.

So...who do we have left now?
X Herges
X LaTroy
X Fuentes
Corpas (second inning?)
Affeldt (no, please no)
Speier
Buchholz

The way we've been swinging, I hope Bucky's ready to go a few.

Dear lord
Can we please SCORE A RUN?

On the bright side, Helton will face Valverde this inning and Valverde is scared of him...

I going to walk right up and kick him in the sack.

Holliday...
It's strange.  Lately, I don't have that magic feeling when he comes to the plate.

If Todd reaches
it definitely won't be Manny for another inning, thanks to Hurdle's double-switching....

Hey DBacksSkins,
there's your D-Backs strike. We're even.

by potterhead4 on Oct 13, 2007 12:02 AM MDT reply actions  

If the umps were fucking consistent
I wouldn't mind so much the Dbacks/Rockies strike zone. (Except if Tim McClelland is behind the plate. I've always hated him.)

We look horrible out there
and the umps aren't helping... I have a bad feeling about this.

This game is creeping up to four hours
I wish I hadn't accurately predicted that earlier. I wish this one was already in the bag for us. 0-2, 1-2, HBP... that's gonna stay for a while unless we win...

Because
they want us all to have absolutely no nails by the time this season is over.

Along with
a serious need for blood pressure and heart medication, evidently.

Won't be Corpas
He took Atkins' spot and Spilly PHed for him.

Speier might be the only other one I halfway trust.

Corpas gone
Speier would be my call but I fear that Affeldt might come in.

by MADness on Oct 13, 2007 12:35 AM MDT up reply actions  

OK
They got our closer, we got thiers.

Now we need to -

a) blow it open with a hit here

b) get three outs in a row in the bottom half of the inning.

What will kill us first - the sleep deprivation or the heart attacks?

Heart attacks. Oh god, the heart attacks.
I'm a the point of running up and down stairs trying to release the anxiety. This is ridiculous. And no, I'm not complaining. This is great fun, but it might kill me.

Please be Speier
Bucky no good under pressure, Affeldt is Affeldt. Come on Clint, Speier is our ace out of the pen.
