Around SBN: The Worst Season of Francisco Rodriguez's Career Bar-right-arrows



Sunday Morning Rockpile:

What do "X" and "Y" represent in the following table?

7/10 7/11 7/12
X 4 3 1
Y 3 3 1

If you said "X" was "Number of hits the Rockies had in their last three games," you are correct. If you said "Y" was "Number of hits the Mets pitching staff allowed in their last three games," you would also be correct. You could also stretch out "Y" for the two days before 7/10 when the Mets held the Giants to three hits in each game. Ran into the Mets at the wrong time, I guess. Clint Hurdle would agree:

"You have to give their staff credit," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "They are throwing strikes, working ahead in counts and throwing good secondary pitches."

About the only memorable thing from yesterday's game was my encounter with two Padres fans outside of Shea after the game ended. The guy and his girlfriend mentioned they were Padres fans, and I gave a little laugh, as in "At least I'm not a Padres fan." They walked by me and then I turned around and shouted to them, "Holliday touched the plate!" The two stopped walking and turned back to face me. "No, he didn't!" the guy said with conviction. The girlfriend added, "Our commercial proves it." "You're team didn't make the playoffs, so what does a commercial matter?" I responded. Neither could answer and both walked into the crowd heading toward the 7 train.

When Mets fans start yelling "Rockies suck!" at you and you tell them that you agree with them, they just shut up.

After the last out was recorded, did anyone else ask themselves who had the Rockies' lone hit? Because I couldn't remember.

Tulo

Jayson Stark appears to have listed Tulo as the second least valuable player in the NL for the first half this year. Thank the lord for Andruw Jones, I guess.

Did anyone notice

the FOX broadcasting staff’s intimate knowledge of everything but the current baseball game?

By the by, I’m glad we were able to send our AA lineup out on national television…two nights in a row. At least it’s not on TBS, right?

Just watched Casey Weathers pitch

at the Futures Game. Why is he not in our bullpen right now? He was throwing 97 mph gas with a nasty slider. I’ll be honest, I don’t get to watch or follow our minor league teams much if at all besides the pebble report each morning; but it looks like Weathers has a better arm than anyone we have in the pen right now, including Bucky.

We have a few thoughts on this

in the comments section of Today’s Pebble Report, but as you say, I don’t believe that it’s talent holding him back from making the Bigs.

I didn’t realize you guys were commenting on the game in the pebble report. Thanks.
