New York Mets at Colorado Rockies, May 23, 2008 7:05 PM MDT
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.

Absolute ceiling would be somebody like Halladay

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.

by Charlie77 on May 23, 2008 8:31 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

Must be my selective TV watching. Or that he gets bunches of hits in day games when I’m at work.

by Charlie77 on May 23, 2008 9:44 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
OOZ- take with grain of salt
Out of zone stats can come from several flukey places, as well as several legit ones. Getting fly balls in shallow center, running down flies in foul territory… all great plays, but also out of ordinary ones.
RZR is much better because it helps measure the volume of balls hit to short that are converted to outs. Tulo’s was a staggering .971 before injury, where Barmes was a below average .800, and i think that shows in the amount of balls that get through the third base hole, hurting both Atkins and Barmes.
Bottom line, Clint doesn’t do balls to his right very well, Tulo might be at his best there.
by David OhNo on May 23, 2008 10:01 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Barmes RZR has climbed to .836 this year..
and like I mentioned before, he had a good 2006 when his RZR was .854 which was 4th best in the NL. Only one SS had more OOZ plays and a higher RZR in 2006 than Barmes

If you haven't seen the first 3,
The Mummy, or National Treasure. Indiana Jones really created the formula for those movies, and because they’re big-time money-makers, they keep going back to it and making them more and more ridiculous. Some of the “stunts” in this movie were completely insane. I tried to laugh them off with the justification that it’s just an Indiana Jones flick, so what should I expect, but some of that crap was just like, “COME ON!” I’m glad I saw it, though.

Tonight was the first time I got to (mostly)
watch the Rockies on TV, aside from borrowing Russ’ MLB.TV a few days ago. I did not know Greg Reynolds wore high socks. Love for the youngster = increasing. (I will overlook the fact that he gave up a homer to FERNANDO TATIS).

Hey now
Tatis is the same guy who hit 2 Grand Slams in the same inning once. Sure, it was like 10 years ago, but you know.

He’s got a great look and I love how he attacks the strike zone and 4 k’s in 2 innings today was sweet.

He's looked very solid out there
The back-to-back HRs were a blip, but overall, he looks much more poised than Morales. I look forward to seeing what he can do, and hopefully he shuts up everyone who wishes we took Lincecum over him…. well, okay, that includes me, but I am fully up for giving young Gregory a chance.

Nah.
See, you guys are like the Orckies in The Hobbit. (Even though they were called “Goblins” then.) We had a discussion figuring out who was who on our team from Fellowship of the Ring, (Byrnes was Boromir—used to be good, sucks now) and Steinbrenner was definitely Sauron, trying desperately for his Ring of Power.
Although, we DID compare you guys to the Ringwraiths—9 former kings of men, who were given false rings (during the first home series of the year…. ahem) that turned you from men into mere wraiths….

The KOTOR games?
Made by Bioware, the same company that made Jade Empire and Mass Effect. All of them are phenomenal games and highly recommended, especially Mass Effect. It took the KOTOR formula with the good/evil system and really turned it into a thing of beauty.

Never finished it though. My dark side character in KOTOR was Darth Jeter.

Mass Effect
was easily my personal Game of the Year last year, and I’m a HUGE Halo fanboy, sao that tells you of my love for it. I’ve beaten it several times and will beat it many more in my life. The game is just phenomenally balanced with a great storyline and deep characters. The side missions really bring the game to life.

I meant to give a nod to COD4 as well
but the multiplayer left me wanting more. I LOVED the campaign though. My favorite multiplayer game of the year was actually Team Fortress 2, heh. Go figure, eh? Mass Effect is also coming out on PC with a couple of new improvements and additions to the game, so if your rig can handle it, I’d suggest getting it for that. The PC version really fixes the very few flaws of the 360 copy.
...and now everybody realizes what a huge nerd I really am.
