Interesting to seee Herrera get the start, I figured it’d be Q

The logistics of this

are mind-boggling. Herrera must have caught a red-eye from Nashville to San Francisco last night.

Around 8:30 CDT, I think

which is 6:30 PDT… hmm, now that I think of that it makes a little more sense.

Troy will undergo a MRI in Denver. That’s about all they’ve said on TV.

Herrera

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is his MLB debut is it not?

by NewMexicanSteven on Apr 30, 2008 1:46 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

you are correct

Herrera is making is major league debut today.

Prediction

He gets a hit

is not far off the league lead in strikeouts.

SInce Sanchez has been unhittable lately, Herrera will get him self a K or 2

Is this Sanchez guy a real prospect?

Because the last thing the giants need is another young stud pitchet

by moomacher on Apr 30, 2008 1:54 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not sure

But on the season, he now has 38 strikeouts in 29 innings, which is certainly worth something. He’s 25 years old, so he’s older than Cain and Lincecum.

27th round pick in the 04 draft

been a reliever the past two years. I’m going to go with a no

by moomacher on Apr 30, 2008 2:01 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Minor league stats

scream prospect, though. 11.88 K/9 for his minor league career is pretty impressive.

Probably was a 27th-round pick because he played college ball at Ohio Dominican, a school I have never heard of.

by Tom (RFTN) on Apr 30, 2008 2:03 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He's actually kind of an enigma.

And a decent pitcher, but not close to the class of their other two guys.

It has him hitting 95 three times so far

perhaps a quality ab for spilly

we need this guy to throw a lot of pitches early

by NewMexicanSteven on Apr 30, 2008 2:01 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

excellent,

when he overthrows 96+ he is less effective i think. If he could just keep that gasser in his back pocket for special occasions it would do him well. Learning to be a pitcher and not just a thrower is his challenge this year.

There's the sac fly.

One batter too late. Next time ask for a three run homer. Than if it’s a batter too late, it still means we score.

Well… we are hitting him at least.

Ubaldo

looking good so far. Here’s to hoping the wheels don’t suddenly come off like they’ve done for him in previous outings.

by holly96 on Apr 30, 2008 2:52 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'll second that desire

Here’s also hoping we can somehow muster some run support the third time through the lineup.

by Rox Girl on Apr 30, 2008 2:53 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Ditto

Jimenez is so close. I don’t think going to AAA would help him (unlike Morales). He needs to work it out here.

Iannetta is looking so sharp this year

He really needs to be in the lineup more often than once a week.

by Rox Girl on Apr 30, 2008 3:07 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That's been the most maddening thing about Hurdle for me.

C I not only hits but has a great eye. The hitting might go away when he plays more, but the recognition of pitches (especially breaking pitches) is something that Yorvit just doesn’t have. And that’s huge in the eighth spot in terms of flipping the lineup. Unbelievable that he isn’t getting at least 2-3 starts, especially this far into the season when he’s still hitting in every spot start.

Yes, those guys.

Command has been streaky as usual...

curveball has been very streaky. As usual, dominant when he’s hitting spots, hittable when he’s not. Homer (and only run) was on a hanging curve.

Yes, those guys.

4.2 2 hits 1 Er and 1 BB 4 k’s… not too bad

by ColoroxWS07 on Apr 30, 2008 3:17 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not exceptionally,

He’s just being very effective with mixing speeds and locations but keeping things pretty much in the strikezone. It probably helps that we’re playing a weak Giants squad.

Have the AZ-Houston

game on behind me. They’re saying that it’s not time to panic in Denver, even with some injury issues. Also being said is the promising start by Clint Barmes. Interesting to hear other team’s announcers talk about us 0_o

Oh wow

I just got here and haven’t read up on any moves, but Herrera is playing? That’s so cool. How does he look? I mean, I can see his numbers at the plate, but does he look good? Overmatched? Does he look good in the uniform? Lol, I’m just excited.

Willy T

with two walks and a hit. That’s great to see. I’m really pulling for him to continue improving his game. At least until Dexter is around.

Was he out at second?

Blech…there’s a certain way I want to win, and I’m not sure if getting a bunch of breaks like that (counting the apparently questionable Lincecum balk last night) is really the way. Not that I mind winning…

Oh, okay.

Thanks. Ah, well, not that it mattered too much in the end.

Fun Fact

Colorado is now negative 12 for 135 with runners in scoring position on the season.

I didn’t think it was possible either.

I wouldn't have thought so either, but I've been watching all our games so far,

And the Rockies definitely deserve the Nobel prize for ineptitude when it matters.

by Rox Girl on Apr 30, 2008 3:34 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They're just giving out the Nobel for anything these days.

Another Fun Fact (courtesy of David Letterman):

No word in the english language rhymes with brick.

Yes, those guys.

Nobel's gone sort of commercial...

I had been hoping to win the lit prize someday, or maybe chemistry for my theory of peanut butter as relationship substitute, but now that I know the prize for ineptitude when it matters might be up for grabs in a few years, I think I’ll gun for that.

by Rox Girl on Apr 30, 2008 3:38 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I was gonna say...

Sign me up for that one. If these guys didn’t have the lock on ineptitude this year I’d be all over it.

Like the peanut butter theory. Myself I’m into these cheesy pretzel things.

Yes, those guys.

That's the...joke.

I have an oddball sense of humor, hence

some more classics from the Federal Bureau of Miscellaneous Information:
The first pair of binoculars had a 1x magnification.
Vacuum is the hardest word to spell.

Yes, those guys.

Drew error

was mighty helpful. Pence hustled HARD to get to second. Doesn’t make up for his ridiculously lazy play on Salazar’s double a few innings back when he misread the play and THEN made little effort to tryr and catch the ball.

Did U-Ball do enough to keep his spot in the rotation?

i think so

2 runs? not bad, we should be up at least 4-2

At least. that’s what I think.

for more or less...

who else we got? we could have a drawing before each home game to see which fan starts on that time through the rotation? that would put fans in the seats

Good start, our offense seems like it’s on the brink of breaking through. I think it will start to click here pretty soon

He has the arm to do it

but his accurary has been very poor. Hitting the cut off man is one of the fundamentals of baseball, he needs to get that down.

Okay, we got out of it.

Not ideally, we missed a golden opportunity to score, and then let them tie it.

I think we need Spilly, Barmes and Iannetta to show the regulars how driving the runners in gets done.

I'd just prefer we ranked higher than thirteenth in the NL in runs scored

No matter how we wind up doing it, we better be in the top five most months, or we’re talking about a massive fail on our part.

Could a UBALL go deep like that to TIE the game sometime?

Ha...

Maybe if I was pitching for the opposition and we were playing in a park about as big as my front yard.

2 out hit

then maybe get a 2 out hit??? NO. wow, another HR for the giants

Shawn Chacon

Chacon has started six games, pitched well enough to win them all, and has no decisions. That has to be annoying for him.

Fun Fact

The Braves are 0 – 8 in one run games and are tied 1 – 1 in the bottom of the 9th with Washington. They are the only team allowed to say they’ve had a more frustrating month than Colorado.

Trade(s)

The Rockies acquired Jason Grilli from Detroit

For a minor league reliever, Zach Simons.

Well there you have it

2008 season saved! And you guys were worried, Ha!

by RyanBuff on Apr 30, 2008 5:04 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm actually surprised that Simons returned a major league player

He’s been doing well since he shifted to the pen, but still, a minor league reliever who’s probably not in our top ten among RHP relief arms makes it a nice pick-up, even if Grilli would have been on waivers later this week if the trade didn’t go through.
