New game plan:
Instead of all that about RISP, BB, OBP, and various other complicated statistics, I vote we implement an entirely new, revolutionary game plan:
Win.
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
Iannetta getting three straight starts
Willy, Barmes back in, Q at second
Iannetta starting again
Is this the official changing of the guard moment?
Last night sure could have been a tipping point…
Please guys, just WIN tonight.
That is all.

Looks like ...
Brian Barton is pitching? Or is this a Colorado Rockies.com error?
Also, bad news when one of the FSN keys to the game is…..
“Bullpen…be ready”
Yuck.
I thought Blooper is starting for the Cardinals tonight.

Yet they had no room in the rotation here for Chacon...
who’s pitching well again tonight in Houston (3.32 e.r.a. pitching half his games in that bandbox).
Honestly I think every O Dowd
move backfired over the offseason.
I feel sorry for Jason
sort of. We were willing to give him a pretty fat contract, with some security. Now he is really SOL.
Be sure to bring Stewart with him.

In other news
Hynick goes 6 2/3s tonight, 2 earned runs, NO WALKS, 6 strikeouts. It would not surprise me to see him pitching for the big club at some point this year. How can he be worse than Redman?
He couldn't possibly
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~ Earl Wilson
He's had four similar starts in a row
five of his last six, and the one in question wasn’t terrible.
I don’t know if we need to be talking call-up yet, but I think it’s safe to say that Hynick has started to adjust to Double A, so we can all ease our concerns over him.
I'm not saying we should call him up immediately
but he seems like a more polished pitcher than Ubaldo or Frankie. Not saying he won’t get knocked around occasionally in the bigs, but at least he doesn’t have control problems.
Redman
Please promptly be DFA’d

Would be on Rockies’ opposing pitchers getting on base, whether H, BB, or HBP. Seems like the other guys’ pitcher is ALWAYS doing something against ours.

I will probably be going to wal-mart and pull the ol’ “It was a gift and didn’t work?”
Free roam online is beyond cool.
And on the leaving the couch note…I haven’t played in a few days, I got a lot of studying to do right now. Probably good it broke, because I would be playing rather than studying right now.

Oh come on
It’s the bottom of the 4th, we’re down 4, yes, but we have a team capable of scoring runs. We may not be able to prevent them from continuing to score, but it’s not like we just gave up 6 runs in the top of the 9th.

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~ Earl Wilson
The actual question was:
I wrote:
“Why did Yorvie hit for Podsednik in the 8th last night? Does OBP not matter to Hurdle?”
I think the first one had a better chance of being answered.
These guys do not take any questions that have any bearing whatsoever on the team itself.
I asked:
“What is the status of Jason Hirsh? When will we be seeing him in a Rockies uniform again?”
It has, thus far, gone unanswered.
Every day is a Holliday!
I had a question answered on air...
...a few weeks ago. They aired my question about 4 games after I sent it in.
Yeah, I asked about Jamie Quirk
...they went on about some irrelevant crap for about an inning and a half that sort-of addressed the question. That said, still got nothin’ but love for Goodman.
He's still progressing
It had been late May/early June, but sort of like Mark Prior, they’ve taken out the target date for his return. I’d guess that means the middle of June at the earliest.
if i didn't know better...
I would say they were the 1919 chicago white sox…the black rox. Pitching woes and all, this is pathetic.

Wow.
Are you kidding me? What are your thoughts on the PSP? Any good? Nearly everyone I know rocks a DS, which I’m partial to myself, so it’d be cool to get the thoughts of someone who plays Golf on the PSP.
Uhm LOVE IT.
I have a DS, had one a long long time, still love that, but the PSP brings different stuff. I never thought I’d ever get a PSP, but I have one and love it. Put TV shows on it to watch on the light rail. But games like God of War and Hot Shots and versions of the GTA’s from PS2 just rock. Hot Shots Golf rules hard too. Got MLB08 The Show on it, and love that too.
Good system, now that good games are out.
Very cool.
God of War games are awesome. I might look into it after some of the major releases this year pass by.
Could be fun.
Like I said, later on when all of my major game releases have passed, I’ll check it out. You talk it up pretty well, so now I’m genuinely intrigued.
As in..
throwing games. I know obviously that they aren’t it just shocks me that a team that was so good can be so bad. I knew they were going to struggle some but jeez. Focusing on the positive, 1. Grilli is doing well 2. SF and SD lost 3. we are batting 4. NETTA!!!!!

I was thinking another run this inning too..
with Barmes and Iannetta being the main offense. Holliday has the one infield hit, otherwise the H factor is looking pretty blah.

OK, this is an odd observation/question...
but I have to ask. Why do virtually no MLB players have any hair on their forearms? A friend at work made that observation the other day, and it seems to be true. Do they shave their arms to reduce drag, or what?

Well
I sure as hell didn’t think Hurdle would leave Manny in there a second inning. And I’m back to being wrong.
Manny has a relatively good inning...
so Hurdle has to throw him out there for another…HurdleLogic strikes again. Any confidence he got from this is gone. We need to turn up the offense and give a crap for a change.

Geez, Ankiel
just gunning them down at third.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
The greatest throw I ever saw...
was in ‘99 when Jose Guillen of the Pirates threw out Neifi Perez at third from deep in the rightfield corner. Was sitting right behind third base and couldn’t believe it.
But Ankiel’s two tonight are right up there; second one was even better than the first.
Well then
“Don’t challenge Ankiel’s arm” seems to be the lesson of the night.

Well.
I quit watching and watched Dancing with the Stars…but from what I did see, the Rockies gave up after the third inning.
I am about to start beating a dead horse, but where is the leader of the team that can stand up, get the guys back into it, and stop this we suck campaign.
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
I think the Rockies gave up when they started Mark Redman. I don’t see how he’s still in the rotation.
The leader of the team is on the DL, out till the all-star break.
Aut Vincam Aut Periam
And apparently...
No one else has the cajones to serve in the meantime.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~ Earl Wilson
They need someone else then.
Someone has GOT to stand up and get this team back on track. Hurdle is useless for that.
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
Well...
I think its safe to assume that after tonight, Redman should be going to the bullpen or released at MINIMUM. If he starts again, its a lost cause IMO.
This team, when down early, goes into a shell and just wants to get the game over with.
Rockies need to learn to work the counts, because its ridiculous seeing quick innings because they swing at the first strike they see and pop up or ground out weakly.
And as for a leader, yes, they do. Matty apparentally isn’t him. Helton? Step up please.
I was just
going to rely to my own post about Todd. I find it hard to believe that he has not spoken up. But, his interviews lately have all been quotes that tow the company line. “We just have to get things turned around.” and similar BS. Sad. Very sad.

Yes, I believe we will come back. We’re awesome.
Rally time...
......that’s why they give us 9 innings (yes even in your living room you should still ivert your hat for a rally cap)
Well...
Here’s the bright side, if they get bad enough, SOMEONE is going to stand up and say this is unacceptable. I mean, they can’t ALL put up with this for another month, can they? I mean…O’Dowd hasn’t brainwashed them that much yet, right?

GG all
Fun thread, sorry I bailed on you accidentally. An exciting finish. Our boys will pick it up soon. The comeback is right around the corner. Hopefully I’ll see all you fine folks back in here tomorrow for more!
Have a good night, y’all.
I dont blame baker..
I felt like Hawpe and Holliday threw in the towel…not just their ending at bats but in general. And if I am wrong and they didn’t..let’s just say that the swinging at first pitches didnt help.Plus the fact that hurdle had to keep manny around for that extra inning/homer. Spilborghs actually gives a crap, let him play right field. Iannetta and Barmes showed their heart tonite. Helton at least got a hit in the last inning. Grilli gave a great performance. And people, don’t run on Ankiel’s arm.
