Game #48: Perez vs. Reynolds

Gvf_tiny by Russ on in Game Thread Comment 475 comments

New York Mets @ Colorado Rockies


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.

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.

Halladay gives me a point of reference anyway. That’s not a bad ceiling, BTW.

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.

by Rox Girl on May 23, 2008 8:29 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions 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.

to my mind is how in the world Matty is batting .320. I know it’s odd, but I seem to never to see the guy get hits.

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

good, with soft hands, but the range issues are there

Barmes won’t make mistakes, but he won’t get to the plays Tulo gets to. David’s correct in this on both players.

I didn't have a particular disagreement

I just notice him point out Atkins’ lack of range more than anybody else and it makes me laugh. The internet is a tough place for my sense of humor, heh.

Then why does Barmes..

Have only 3 less out of zone plays then Tulo in 50 less innings?

There's only one Rocktober!!

by Charlie77 on May 23, 2008 9:44 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions 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 to parent up reply reply actions 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

Bucky

I wish he could throw three every night
