PrintColorado Rockies at Houston Astros, Apr 19, 2008 5:05 PM MDT
All accounts this Spring held that Wandy Rodriguez was looking like a new pitcher, and that he was ready to step behind Roy Oswalt in the Astros rotation. The results thus far have him stepping ahead of Oswalt. It's going to be a tough task, but let's get this series victory out of the way tonight, so we don't have to worry about scrambling out on Sunday.
Go Rockies!

By the way,
welcome back to second place.

You aren't going to be so welcoming a couple weeks from now
When we get over that last little hurdle, but thanks.
Your overconfidence is your weakness.

Yes,
and Han Solo was able to make the run in a shorter distance by going closer to the black holes of the the Maw, which is located close to the planet. Usually it takes 18 parsecs to make the Kessel Run, but Han’s rather daring route shaved off a few parsecs.

Fair enough.

Not sure
Hurdle had said that Yorvit was going to sit a couple of days after catching the entire 22 innings in SD. Yorvit had said something to the effect of “Uh, no.”, so I’m not sure what’s going on. At this point, it’s hard to even think about sitting CI as well as he’s playing.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~ Earl Wilson
Nice to see Spilly, Barmes, and Iannetta
back in there tonight along with the regulars.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Tulo stings a ball deep to center
But Bourn tracks it down – nice to see Tulo hit it hard again though.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
El Cabello gets lucky
Holliday was right on that pitch.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Several hard shots that inning
but no dice.
Oops
Another miscue to start the game against Bourn, this time Barmes with the error.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
AAGH!
I hate you, Clint Barmes! Where’s good ol’ Jayson Nix when you need him?
/sarcasm
Bourn is fast
And that might be an understatement.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Cook has been really unlucky tonight
First an error on a routine groundball, and now a tapper that Kaz beats out.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Sheesh.
Cook’s been doing his job so far, and suddenly he’s in a big jam.
Big double play there
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
1-0 Astros
but now bases clean with two outs. Slick turn by Clint at second.
NICE pitch
from Cookie there to end the inning.
Cook really appears to be on tonight.
If we can just nick Wandy (WTF kind of name is that?) for a few runs, we’ll be in good shape.
Every time I see him
I say, “WAAAAAANDY WOD-WEEEE-GUEZ!”
Let’s get ‘im. Nice start, Garrett. Not so much, Brad.
Just make it stop.
Vizcaino has a setback
Not necessarily a bad thing.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
A setback for Viz.

Atkins!
Continues to rake. Drive him in Brad!
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Way to go, Gatkins!
Double! Four straight games with a hit.
Double for Atkins.
A just a few more steps to home plate.

Come on regulars
If the junior varsity squad put up 6 in the first inning last night, you can’t let yourself be outdone.
Just make it stop.
Two comebackers in a row
And it’s up to Iannetta to not waste Atkins’ double.

At least it wasn't
the last out of our season. Hats off to Eric Byrnes.

Chris draws a walk
Can Cook help his own cause?
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
BB for Iannetta.
Come on, Cookie, help yourself out.
COOK!!!
Awesome!
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
WOOT!
RBI for Cook! I love the National League!
Spilly strikes out on the hook
But a round of applause for Cook getting us on the board.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
Spilly
squelches an opportunity for more… but time to see if Cook really can do it all tonight.
Just make it stop.
Evening PRers...
Good swings on Wandy for the most part. The funny thing about him is that he is much, much better at home, which is weird considering what a hitters park MMP is.
Francis
is the same way. ERA about a run lower at Coors than on the road in his career.

for his second hit of the game. Nice to see.

What probability would you all say
Todd has of getting to 3,000? He should get to 2,000 this season (just before his 35th birthday).
I told my friend the other day
that is was possible and he looked at me like I had three heads
Ugly looking swing there
Wandy had his curve working much better than inning.

I’m only listening to the radio broadcast, but Jeff was really incredulous that that was a homer.

is a poor imitation of the Green Monster, which is itself an embarrassment to ballpark design.

If it gives them an excuse
to rob our left fielder of an MVP award, then sure. Never mind that the biggest hitter’s park in the National League is Citizen’s Bank Joke in Philly, which is home to a certain shortstop that is systematically robbing deserving Rockies of hardware…

One week you’ll sell your soul for a few damn runs, next week you get spoiled once the offense gets going.

5 IP
and nine ground ball outs. Vintage Cookie.
Extrapolating, that'd be 111 pitches for Cookie.
I’d be okay with one more. Then it’s Bucky, Tito, Manny, happy time.

Another perfect inning by Cook
Let’s tack on some more runs this inning with the top of the order due up.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
How's that working out for the Mets? :smug:

Another ball hit deep
and caught.

Crazy MMP
has it so you can sneeze and hit a homer to LF, but need superhuman skills or a pair of wings on the ball to get it out over that dumb hill in CF.
Just make it stop.
315 down the LF line, 435 to dead CF.

Breezed through that inning without any problems.
"Corpas ready, first pitch, checkswing roller...Tulowitzki has it, throws to first...BALLGAME! WORLD SERIES TIME IN COLORADO!"
I was skeptical before that inning...
but that inning was REALLY efficient. He may be able to get through the seventh without ruining the pitch count. (The pen could use the rest, that’s for sure.)

Could be that the umps
are going to say Spilly had control of the ball long enough for the out.
Kudos to Rick Reed for standing his ground—and kudos to Cecil Cooper for sticking up for his team on what is admittedly a shaky (at best) call.
Spilly's acting ability comes through.

Time to pat him on the back and put in Bucky

Welp,
just to go on record, in case any Astros fans are watching, that was definitely unfair. Hopefully they’ll get one of those back in another game sometime… against another team, preferably.

Holliday had a great line about that
Spilly should come back with, “What was I supposed to do, get up and TELL the ump I dropped it?”
Milo Hamilton is NOT HAPPY.
He’s angry (rightfully) about that call, and here’s one of my all-time favorite exchanges:
Dave Raymond (laughing): “You just need to simmer down now.”
Milo: “Yeah, sure. We’re 6-11, we get a call like that, and I need to simmer down.”
Big cheer for Spilly
as he swings and misses.
Hit a homer Spilly, just because.

I’m thinking the tale of the tape with Manny is really told by how he does with the first batter. If he lets him reach, look out. If he goes down, it’s easy-peezy for the next two. Just something I’ve observed.
