Game #22: Fogg vs. Pelfrey

by malakian on Apr 25, 2007 11:25 AM MDT in Rockpile

With Josh Fogg on the hill I'm not too optimistic about our chances, but the offense has to break out some time. Why not today? Mike Pelfrey certainly isn't a world beater by any means. Hopefully the Rockies can take advantage of his two-pitch nature and relative inexperience.

Avoid the sweep and leave New York with a modicum of dignity remaining. Just do it, it's as simple as that.

Tulo batting second has already paid off.

Tulo and now Chris with a solid hit

Having those two break out would be a tremendous boost. Now if we can somehow get Iannetta home.

Clint(s)

I have heard that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result....Clint Hurdle is insane for playing Barmes this much.

by OutHereInPA on Apr 25, 2007 11:55 AM MDT reply actions

Barmes is ok as back up go

And he's the only other middle infielder right now. Our other option would be Omar Quintanella. Who also is a nice fielder that can't hit.

by Redhawk on Apr 25, 2007 11:55 AM MDT reply actions

Jayson Nix is hitting well down in the Springs too

He's another option, although not a very good one.

by malakian on Apr 25, 2007 11:56 AM MDT up reply actions

I'm keeping an eye on Jonathan Herrera

Who might be a slightly better option than Q, and believe it or not, Jayson Nix hasn't been bad at the plate this season for Colorado Springs. He's got a 7/7 BB/K rate and twelve hits, he could be a better option than Barmes at this point.

by Rox Girl on Apr 25, 2007 11:59 AM MDT up reply actions

keep it up Foggie

If he can keep this lineup down, (knocks on wood crosses fingers rubs rabbit foot) we may have a shot. Unfortunately us beating up on a bad pitcher only makes me think that we are an awesome AAAA type team. We can destroy bad pitchers but can't do didly squat against anyone else.

What I like about this Line-up

today..is Holliday batting 3rd. Only makes sense. And Tulo getting to have Holliday batting behind him will help him get better pitches to hit

This is rather enjoyable

The Rox needed a game like this - not just a win, but a thrashing and a big offensive performance. We'll see what this confidence does back home... provided, of course, we can get 12 more outs without incident.

I believe the top 4 were PNC Park in Pitt, Safeco, Camden yards and Coors Field. I can't remember all the criteria but it seemed pretty extensive.

nods

Considering that the Rockies are the ones who had an offensive explosion, and NOT the Mets...yeah, must be Opposite Day.

can't be opposite day

Clint Barmes is still sucking wind. I'm guessing half the team hotel was caught in a radioactive mist that missed the other half.

should it come to a suprise...

that Barmes is the only player in the lineup NOT to reach base??

And Willy now has 5 hits!

I could get use to this

A table setter actually setting the table? I'm down for that every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

That's got to be frustrating for him

Another deep count and he K's looking at a pitch at the knees. I'm surehe's going to break through as long as he doesn't get overly worried about his numbers.

Please, no...

Please don't remind me of the Yankees victory call. Whenever the announcer says that, he (in the words of Rick Reilly) sounds like a goat stuck on an electric fence. Yet another reason to hate the Yankees...

meh

i dont particularly care for the yankees, but thats such an awesome/obnoxious call that i cant help but steal it. my thinking is its so universally known, its a fantasy of mine that one day every baseball fan in the country knows what the rockies' announcers say after every win. but until then im just gonna quote that yankees guy.

This is big

Like I said earlier... a game like this - a comfortable win where everybody contributes (well, except Barmes) - is the kind of game that can give you a little bit of momentum. We've got Francis and Hirsh going in the first two games against the Braves so if we continue to get good pitching and the bats can build on this... we can still be in pretty good shape.

I feel like the Rox took a pretty good step in the 'not terrible' direction today.
