Game #48: Perez vs. Reynolds
New York @ Colorado
I always look forward to the series against the Mets, mostly because they're my "hometown" team. Anyway, this is the first of two series against the Mets at Coors Field before the two teams shift over to Shea Stadium in July. Greg Reynolds makes his third start, and I want it to be a good one.
Go Rockies!

Heavy right handed lineup...
Since left handers have a pretty ugly line to begin with against Perez this year, and we can only guess what that would do with Hawpe.

So much for Reynolds' terrible K rate...
I wonder in what way people will say he’s going to be a flop next will be.

I forgot about MLB blackout restrictions. I’m assuming the local (New York) broadcast is on cable. Oh well.

Cool
Still new to the area, so I had to look up what CW is (channel 11, I guess). Will be nice to see a couple of games on an actual TV screen the next two days.

This is almost like the lineup the Twins gave us in Francis' start
I guess Church is out with dizziness. It’s nice that teams are handicapping themselves like that.

Absolute ceiling would be somebody like Halladay
What we’ve seen so far tonight is what that would look like. Let’s see how he does the second time through the lineup, and the second time through the league when hitters know what to expect before getting too giddy, though.

Baker has no range
I think any of our other second basemen get Reyes there. That’s not an easy play, but Baker was a little slow getting there and flipping the ball.

If MLB want's to speed up these games...
Instant Replay’s not the way to go, IMO

I think a lot of people are tired of seeing HR's getting taken away...
Seriously, a ground rule double is as exciting as watching the umpires huddle to decide if the ball went over the fence or not.

Sticky fly paper...
If they’re not going to institute replay then change the stadiums so that a HR is obviously a HR. Put up some sticky fly paper above the yellow. Or some kind of chalk line that marks the ball.

I have no idea why Hurdle sac bunts with the pitcher
when Taveras is our lead-off guy. He’s just not a run producer, at all. Better off letting the pitcher swing away unless it’s U-ball.

Rockies lead the league in Sac Bunts...
Seems like maybe they’re sacrificing too many outs to get runners in scoring position. WillyT doesn’t help however, he should be hitting in the 8 hole.

True, but it it is set up this way,
The only runners on situation Willy’s decent at is with a runner at first, he’s got a .350 batting average over his career and is 5 for fifteen in that situation this year. Any other runners on situation and he’s gone 5 for 29 (.172) this season. By bunting the lead runner over, Hurdle’s completely eliminating a strength of his, which is poking the ball through the hole on the right side.
