Game #74: Maine vs. Cook

Gvf_tiny by Russ on in Game Thread Comment 299 comments

New York Mets @ Colorado Rockies


Cook certainly took care of the Mets in his last outing against them: a complete game four-hitter. That's the only complete game thrown by a Rockies pitcher so far in 2008.

Go Rockies!

TULO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Die-hard Rockies fan. On the bandwagon since 7/6/93. Not giving up my seat. EVER!

Hey! Welcome back,

You should be very grateful that the Rockies didn’t allow the Indians to win any of their games against us. At least we let your White Sox have one.

thank you

very much

why are you against girls

Tulo batting 7th.

Great to see him back in the lineup.

Tonight is Tulo night!

I think that’s as good a reason to raid the ice cream chest as any…

by Rox Girl on Jun 20, 2008 6:22 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

A win

would be a better reason.

by rosenthal on Jun 20, 2008 6:25 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I've used that reason already this week

Not saying I can’t use it again, this just gets me to my goal three hours sooner.

by Rox Girl on Jun 20, 2008 6:31 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

What's

the flavor of choice.

This sounds weird, but I tried mint chocolate chip for the first time a couple of weeks ago (I’m not a junk food guy)... Have to say, it was pretty tasty.

by rosenthal on Jun 20, 2008 6:42 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Wow

Yeah, very weird. Mint chocolate chip is absolutely my favorite kind of ice cream. I’m generally not a huge ice cream person, but give me Dreyer’s mint chocolate chip and I will go to town. Seriously, for me it’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven.

by holly96 on Jun 20, 2008 6:48 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It had

never occurred to me to try it. I mean, I don’t know that I’ve ever bought ice cream for myself in my entire life.

A six-pack of Newcastle? I’ve died and gone to heaven.

by rosenthal on Jun 20, 2008 6:53 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Alltime favorite ice cream flavor:

Is Fosselman’s (an Alhambra, CA creamery) blueberry. My top five also include Mackinac Island fudge, which I can’t ever find outside Michigan but Denali’s Moose Tracks is an okay substitute for that so that could go as #3. I like Haagen Dazs’ Rum Raisin and I’d probably include Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey as #5.

I take my ice creams very seriously, although I guess right now I’m not going to be technically be eating an ice cream at all, but Madison’s Madigascar Vanilla gelato topped with fresh strawberries.

by Rox Girl on Jun 20, 2008 6:55 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Wow

I’ve only heard of the Chunky Monkey.

I’ve had actual Mackinac Island fudge, but didn’t know they make ice cream.

by rosenthal on Jun 20, 2008 6:57 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hagen Daaz Creme Brulee

Is my only weakness with ice cream. Absolute heaven. But you gotta like caramel to really fall for it.

Blame the Red Sox!

I'm sorry, but that was idiotic by Hurdle

wasting an out to set up 2 and 3 for RBI challenged Willy T? He should have either let Cook swing away or pinch hit for him

Too many pitches up in the zone for Cook.

He doesn’t seem to be going to many of his other pitches either. Just sinker up, which can be scary.

......Nice play by WillyT

Not that game calling makes a big difference

but without Iannetta behind the plate, the pitch sequences are more predictable.

Yeah, Yorvit tends to be predictable in his game calling..

It’s almost like a machismo thing for him, calling the best pitch to show which man is better.

My youngest niece

Is majoring in sports management at South Carolina. Her ambition is to be a baseball GM someday. Before you laugh, her knowledge of the game and it’s players (past and present) is beyond my imagining. Plus, she’s a sabermetrics freak. If I’m lucky, she’ll grow up to be the Rockies GM. Trust me, she’d have no patience for the likes of Clint Hurdle.

Welcome back Tulo!!

by Charlie77 on Jun 20, 2008 9:23 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Don't look at his road RISP...

Bottom line, he’s playing above average defense and hitting for a solid average, but that’s really it.

There’s nothing wrong with that, and it isn’t something that should be actively sought to replaced…

But at the same time, this isn’t what you throw 40 million dollars at in an age 28 season.

The problem is that too many think this is a zero sum: If not Atkins than Stewart, if not Stewart than Atkins. That ignores the dozens of third basemen from Double A up across baseball. The Rockies don’t have to settle on either long term, and should make the wisest move on the field and in the budget. Is it or is it not Stewart is up for debate, but I’m pretty sure extending Atkins isn’t the wisest move.

by David OhNo on Jun 20, 2008 9:27 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

How about his late inning numbers?

.147/.268/.147, just doesn’t get it done when his team needs him most.

The numbers I don't like

are the plummeting walk rate (4.4%, down from 10%), and the sliding ISO (at .164). His peripherals have fallen each year since his breakout two years ago, and at 28, he should be peaking.
