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.

Iannetta starting again

Is this the official changing of the guard moment?

Last night sure could have been a tipping point…

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.

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.

by David OhNo on May 6, 2008 7:33 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

An interesting research project

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.

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.

Grilli has pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Has any one in our bullpen done that this year?

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?

by SlamDunkTheFunk on May 6, 2008 8:55 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
