I'd like to see...
a switch up in the lineup like the first game kind of lineup. I think Tulo should be dropped or switched or something. Last year a change in scenery was what he needed. Instead, we get the same old same old:
1. Taveras
2. Tulo
3. Helton
4. Holliday
5. Atkins
6. Hawpe
7. Torre
8. Nix
9. Jimenez
Oh well…let’s just hope that this lineup starts producing, because it’ll probably be a familiar sight.

First game of this series...
I meant. I don’t mean play all the backups again, but do mess with the batting order a bit.
www.notthisday.com ....coming October!!!
Lineup
I know this lineup is the one we will be seeing more and more… but i kinda liked friday’s lineup. Esp Tulo in the 5 hole.
Just thinking… maybe someday this lineup will be used.
1. Taveras
2. Nix(Barmes)
3. Holliday
4. Helton
5. Tulo/atkins
6. Atkins/tulo
7. hawpe
8. Torre
/ know the L/R don’t offset, BUT i think this would be a decent lineup
//I know Nix has to become decent at the plate. I wonder if Barmes overtakes him at somepoint this year. If Barmes does, then there is the possibility that TUlo could move to the 5/6 slot
I liked Tulo in the 5 slot...
Hopefully (doubtfully) we’ll see him there some more.

Let us hope that Shawn Chacon
pitches like the Shawn Chacon we all knew and hated (I can’t be the only one who remembers “1-9, 31 SV, 7.71”).
Let’s go, Rox!

Too early to say anything...
But I don’t think it’s a wise idea to keep trotting this lineup out when the mix ups have worked so well. That’s entirely gut feeling, not a prediction.

Every time U-Ball
gets out of an inning, I breathe a sigh of relief. Not a good sign.
by Tyler Boschert on Apr 20, 2008 12:18 PM MDT reply actions
U-ball can be dominant
I’m talking bonafide number 1 ace material, he just has to learn how to pitch, learn how to pound the strike zone, and learn how to pitch hitters differently their 2nd and 3rd times around and keep focus late in games.
Great opening frame
Surprising (but nice) to see U-ball pitch a first inning that well.
Matty!
Double!

I wouldn't be so upset...
with all these people playing if it wasn’t the same lineup over and over. I would MUCH rather have Iannetta in there, but what about putting Nix elsewhere in the lineup, moving Tulo, something? Maybe even switching them? They both need a change in scenery.

I remember watching one of his first starts in SD
with a friend. We both had our jaws drop several times.
Just give him the confidence of Peavy, and we’ll have a 20+ game winner on our hands.
Keep it up UBall!

Who knows how well he will ever put it together but the tools are obviously there for him to absolutely dominate hitters.
Pence had no chance whatsoever on that at-bat.

Efficient
Not a term that is applied very frequently to his pitching but it applies today so far.
Lets see how deep into the game he can pitch like this.
It would be great to have one hallmark performance for him to look back upon and for the coaches and catchers to be able to remind him of just what he is capable of if he pitches the right way.
25 pitches thru 3. On pace to stay under 90 this game.

Never been sold on him
It took quite some time for him to finally make the big leagues. He never hit real well in the. And he looks completely overmatched at the plate. I’d say Barmes has the everyday job for now.
Meant to say Minors
He never hit real well in the Minors.
EXACTLY
if he can do at the majors what he did in the minors (not counting false numbers in Col Springs last year) he’s a .230 hitter.

Drops in for a hit.

Off current topic
but to answer Silverblood’s earlier question:
Usually teams wait until the end of April to shake players up. I think Nix should be sent to AA Tulsa where he can hit normal balls. and Q should be brought up as the new Utility guy (not cause he’s good, but because he’s not bad AND left handed)
What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?
I bet there's
a team that would claim Nix since he has to go through waivers.

We lose. The season is over. Ubaldo sucks and should never pitch in the Majors. They should just contract the Rockies now and get it over with. Who’s going to the Coors Field demolition with me?

No more of that, U-ball. And guys, how about some more runs?

And the Rockies keep the lead

Wow
As fun as Uball is to watch when he’s dealing, it’s just as hard to watch when he’s not…
Just make it stop.
I will never praise U-ball til after the 5th
This is getting ridiculous.
Nothing worse
Than a pitcher who is weak mentally and lets thing bother him like U-ball does on the mound. All the talent in the world, if only he had a bulldog like mentality. This sucks.
Thank freakin' God.
U-Ball has found his way onto the Suck List, I’m afraid.
I almost want him starting
And U-ball coming out of the pen since he is dominant for only 3 innings, then sh1ts the bed after that.
I don't want to remove Bucky from his comfort zone
and that is in the pen. But it’s true U-ball really needs to get with the program mentally.
Just make it stop.
I want U-Ball
in Colorado Springs by the end of the day until he can learn to pull his head out of his a** in the fifth inning.

Why does it always start
with two outs and nobody on? You’d think it’d be easy from there, right? But it just snowballs…
And the weird (sad) thing is that I am staying here to watch instead of going off like I planned…
Just make it stop.
Growing pains
VERY SEVERE growing pains, I might add. But U-ball has to learn to work though these types of things if he’s going to be as good as everyone thinks he can be.
It’s just so unpleasant to watch. Oy.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~ Earl Wilson
Guys...
we’re all overreacting. Uball got unlucky on two weak grounders that sneak through and we’re throwing him under the bus. Yes, he let it get to him a bit, but come on, he’s still only allowed 3 through 5 innings and was dominant for the first two outs of the inning. Yes, he has a bit of a history of melting down, but let’s not blow a 2-run inning out of proportion. We’re still within one run.
Thank you,
Definitely some overreacting going on in this thread.

Pshh
He’s had the last two days off and only pitched 2 innings of the 22, Wells pitched 4….
Just make it stop.
Good point.
I thought he had pitched last night, but he didn’t…

Oh, I know.
He’s just not making many friends in Houston.

Walking Berkman was smart
You don’t want to pitch to him batting left-handed in the late innings. Not with Kip Wells on the mound. Take your chances with the other guys.
My daughter says she wants to marry Taylor Bucholz.
But I'm not sure about the beard.
Well,
the “evil” part is right, anyway.

Best bullpen in the ML?
Don’t know what video feed Colo fans get (I’m in Texas), but the Houston TV feed just flashed a graphic that the Rockies’ bullpen ERA of 2.86 is the best in the majors.

We got that too
And yes, we do.

And the Astros bullpen
Has gotta be near the bottom.

WOOT!
I am slowly-SLOWLY-starting to warm up to the Kipper.
He hasn't sucked
thus far in 2008. Perhaps, just perhaps, he will be valuable when InjuryBug rears it’s ugly head.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~ Earl Wilson
Pathetic
Yet another horrendous performance by Wells. We sure hate this guy!
And
we’ll KEEP hating him as long as he is pitching like that.
So there.

Yep
Wells is persona non grata. Nobody likes him. His mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries. Take that, you Redbird reject!
Just make it stop.
I can haz more runz plz?
Den bring in Manny or Tito
