Game #34: Hirsh vs Wainwright

by Rox Girl on May 9, 2007 10:32 AM MDT in Rockpile Comment 119 comments

OPS+ of our catchers this season:

Yorvit Torrealba 34
Chris Iannetta 85

Which is saying that Yorvit's been worth one third of a league average batter, while Iannetta's been worth about 85 % of one. Neither is what we'd want, but Chris is a whole lot closer so far. Today he gets what's become a fairly rare opportunity to start again. Jeff Baker is also in the lineup, as is Omar Quintanilla again. Seeing a strong game from these three will give Clint Hurdle a lot more confidence in the state of the team than he currently possesses. Me too, let's hope they step up today.

The dilemma, the dilemma...

I want the Rockies to win the series -- a lot -- but Wainwright...

Man. Why did it have to be Wainwright? Couldn't it have been Randy Keisler or something?

Also

why is Baker starting when his bat has been somnolent, Wainwright is a righty, and Hawpe had two hits last night? Days off?

Never mind

I am a retard. I just saw Baker's name in the lineup and figured they'd subbed Brandon out. Oh, we're giving Holliday a day off instead. I suppose he needs it, but he's also our biggest threat.

an inside source from st. louis

tells me eckstein was held out of today's game because its really sunny out and his pasty complexion burns easily. they may call for his hustle, grit, ability to "play the game the right way", and lunchpail off the bench later but for now hes safely tucked away in the shade.
(did you guys know hes only 5'7"? i had never heard that before joe buck mentioned it the other night.)

Holliday on the bench means we have a hell of a pinch-hitter in the late innings... and then Hurdle will use Mabry anyway. ;)

I'm just getting home and as much as he owns the Cardinals, why is he sitting?

As for it being a beautiful day at Busch Stadium -- well, it's 89 degrees and terribly humid here, and St. Louis is probably little different. Maybe slightly cooler, but it's probably about the same thing.

infield fly vs. intentional drop

Somebody in yesterday's game thread wondered about the rule on Tulo's intentional drop of Schumaker's soft liner yesterday, in an attempt to get a DP. Although George Frazier and today's Post said Schumaker was out on the infield fly rule, that was not the case. It was an intentional drop. Here are some of the differences:

Intentional drop:
Runner at first, less than two out.
Can be a line drive or a fly.
Batter is out when ball is intentionally dropped.
Ball is dead, runners return to their original bases.

Infield fly:
Runners at first AND SECOND, less than two out.
Must be a fly, not a line drive.
Batter is out when ump determines ball can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort.
Ball is alive, runners can advance at own risk.

Troy Renck told me he knew the difference, that the Post editors had added "infield fly" but that he didn't write it, and that he was pissed about it.

Maybe MLB

will let us be "Run Ruled" and call the game

We may stink, but we won't be swept!

Well, um

Wainwright will get the win, it looks like...

I would be an awful lot happier about that if we had just won yesterday.

<sigh>

A bit late for DPs in this game

The Bright Side:

Using Tom Martin here would be an okay option. I say let him toss a hundred after Arias gets done.

I think Hurdle just took the advice

of whoever said to waste some arms in this game. Martin's in, and can't complain, we're six runs behind already.

Well folks, I am out. Going to Yankee Stadium to watch Yanks/Rangers, and by the looks of things, I'm not missing much from this game. Not a Yanks fan at all, but I am looking forward to seeing the stadium and enjoying a ballgame. I'll even be wearing my autographed Rockies hat.
