Philadelphia Phillies @ Colorado Rockies
Brett Myers has made six appearances against the Rockies (5 starts, 1 relief) and has received the win in every one. That has to change, right?
Go Rockies!
Oh, all SBN v2.0 sites will be down at 2 am ET for scheduled maintenance.

Hum.
Can’t say I really agree with SITTING Tulo. I think he needs at bats, I’d just rather see him in the 8 hole. That said, I’m happy Barmes was moved down. We’ll see if it plays out.

I agree
I think he just needs to be moved down in the lineup. Look, Tulo is going to be fine. He is a hell of a baseball player, he just needs to work out of this funk and not try to bring his average back up to .300 with one swing of the bat everytime he steps to the plate.

Micah Bowie
on the DL. The Rockies called up Josh Newman to replace them.
by Tom (RFTN) on Apr 22, 2008 6:02 PM MDT 0 recs
In a word, yes.
15 walks in 5.1 innings? I’d call that doing poorly. Plus, Newman is a lefty; putting Bowie on the DL means that Fuentes is the only lefty in the bullpen.

On an unrelated note...
Should we start referring to him as Paul Newman? It’s his middle name, after all.

The reason?
Just wondering. And I’m trying really hard to say something supremely sarcastic here.

Strained left forearm
according to the Rocky Mountain News. Or is it the 9.00 ERA?

Yay Barmes.
Tulo would have made that play too, but still.

Good inning there
from Franchise. Few pitches. He needs to go seven tonight, I think.

Howard
lines it right to Todd. Good start, good start.

Excluding last year
What were Tulo’s projection coming in from the Minor Leagues for anyone who knows. I know he was obviously a tremendous talent and the only reason I ask this is because I’m wondering if maybe he outperformed his projections last year. Thanks in advance to anyone who knows.

From BP last year
After suffering through a torn quad and a broken hamate bone in 2005, the tenth overall pick of the 2005 draft showed he could handle the jump to Double-A in his full-season debut. That`s quite an accomplishment in itself, but he also earned a callup to the Show on August 30. He held his own on the big stage despite understandably appearing overmatched at times at the plate and in the field. There are still some adjustments to made, especially given how little power Tulowitzki displayed in his first major league go-round—just three extra-base hits in 96 at-bats. The power should come eventually, and, given the park, he should easily reach 20 home runs annually at his peak. Expected to be the Rockies` starting shortstop on Opening Day, he`ll get the chance to make those strides at the major league level.

BTW his PECOTA projection this year
is 292/359/480, which is almost exactly what he did last year.

I really appreciate it. Tulo is just going to have to work his way out of this, no other way around it.

Utley
with a two-run double. Don’t let him hit a homer in his sixth straight game.

That was
a meatball. A pitch like that to a hitter like Utley demonstrates why Francis is not an ace.

So Francis sucks, Tulo sucks, bullpen suspect, we can’t get a hit with RISP, and we can’t hold a lead in the eighth, and Francis just walked Taguchi with the bases loaded.
Oh, how I love the Rockies.

Finally. Was that an earned run, or is it not an error because they still got an out?

At least Utley can only get a max of 1 RBI
