Game #13: Jimenez vs. Wolf
by Russ

in Game Threads
Colorado @ San Diego
The Rockies face one of the new pitchers the Padres acquired during the off season in Randy Wolf. Ubaldo Jimenez makes his third start of the season after picking up the win in April 8 contest against the Braves. He had one less walk (4) than he had in his first start of the season (5), but also struck out one less (3) than in his first start (4). So, what I'd like to see out of U-Ball tonight is for him to go seven innings (5 & 6 IP in his first two starts), fewer walks, and a good amount of K's.
Go Rockies!

As I said earlier,
give my regards to the Padres. Do us a favor and knock ‘em outta second place??
Good luck.

I love the poll question tonight. And I finally get to watch a game! Yay! Good thing, too, because so far the Rockies are 2-0 on Tuesday games. Let’s keep the trend up!

Is this poll question up at Gaslamp?
If it isn’t, it should be.

Speaking of
Whoo boy, I just went over and read their Game thread, and they’re letting us have it over the Rockpile entry this morning…
Who do people think they are?
Its not like we sit here and critisize and make fun of them all day long. Gosh.
Geez, someone needs to pull the stick out already
Stop taking yourselves so seriously, Purple Row.
High and mighty in the high altitude?
From such a classy blog, I’d figure a personal attack on someone’s community entry wouldn’t be on the menu, bad joke or not…

Attacked the 'Pit as well....
Because when I think classy, the first thing I think of is the Snakepit.
On a related note, I think I finally found where all the youtube and yahoo! commenters hang out.

Oh yeah
I saw that one too, I just forgot to paste it in. I mean…friendly inter-blog ribbing is cool, but I think some of the things they said were a bit too much. I suppose I have no room to speak because I did say something rather inflammatory this morning, which kind of started this whole thing, but I was more using it as a way to praise Rox Girl and Russ for the work that they do. If they feel like they need to warn me for it, then I accept that, and I will probably apologize to GLB. But still…this should be quelled before it gets any worse, and the GLB posters really don’t need to be on the offensive.

When I think classy...
I obviously think of bloggers who write about intentionally releasing disgusting bodily gases, in front of a nice girl, and directing at a group of total strangers who just so happen to root for a rival team.
Sheesh. Are they all 12 over at GLB?

This is a game thread.
This isn’t exactly on topic. Sorry, but we do have rules about game threads being for discussing the game.

Yikes. He’s doing a good job of proving the a—holes who voted for Ryan Braun right.

Tulo had basically the EXACT same start last year.
And I was calling WS MVP at that time.
So close.

K, Tulo being patient.
He’s been pressing, he just needs to see some pitches.

Todd also draws a walk.
Matty, you know what to do.
There are the boos for him.

Haha, booing him.
How about they boo their catcher for not even catching the ball.
by roxintober on Apr 15, 2008 8:11 PM MDT 0 recs
Or for committing a rules violation that would have given Matty home plate anyway.
Rule 7.06(b): The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score.

Exactly.
If he caught the ball, Matt would have been called out. It’s so obvious that blue saw the ball go out of his glove and called the safe.

I have to say...
that the Pads’ radio broadcast team is probably the best I’ve heard besides Jeff and Jack. They’re entertaining to listen to, but at the same time they really let the action on the field do the talking instead of trying to be the story.
And they’ve only got two things wrong so far—they called Tulo the ‘07 ROY and the ‘07 MVP. I like them for that.
by Tyler Boschert on Apr 15, 2008 8:11 PM MDT 0 recs
I say that
and then they go and make a crack about Matty not having touched the plate yet.

Sometimes...
I wish he wasn’t so aggressive at the plate. First 2 pitches were balls. Could’ve been looking at a 2-0 count.

At least he doesnt have streaks where he is patient then aggressive.
Nothing makes me more mad than watching Todd go after first pitch, not his thing.
Matty though….I expect it.

Lazy Yorvie.
Runner on 3rd, no outs.
Yorvie has gotta go tell UBall that the ER is on the catcher.
by roxintober on Apr 15, 2008 8:19 PM MDT 0 recs
They both were difficult but
I think I’m going to go the other way on this. I thought Yorvit should have gone down and tried to get his chest over the first one, but I thought he made a good effort on the second one and it just got away. Either way, a runner is standing on third, and U-Ball needs to try and get the ball over in the air.

I guess.
First was a wicked hop that he was in front of but hit his shinguard. Second was a 5-hole that Y was just slow, IMO. Regardless…two things we can agree on: both were terrible pitches that Y failed save—and neither one matters, as no run scores.

Gotten two slick outs with the runner at third.
One more, my friend. Wriggle your way out of this.

For Wolf in 2 innings, if I counted correctly. He’s throwing a lot of pitches early in this one.
Really gotta make him pay next inning.
