Game #85: Jimenez vs Wolf

by Rox Girl on Jul 2, 2008 6:01 PM MDT in Game Thread Comment 166 comments

San Diego Padres @ Colorado Rockies

Despite being inconsistent -he had another rough outing against Detroit after being sensational vs. the Mets in his last two start- Jimenez has done a pretty decent job of avoiding disasters this season. Only three of his starts have resulted in him allowing more than four runs, compared to ten that have seen him give up four or less. Part of this early in the season was due to Hurdle handling him with kid gloves and pulling him at the first sign of trouble, but lately it's been more a result of him running into too many deep counts every other game.

I don't know why it seems that the Rockies run support for pitchers sometimes seems so disproportionately skewed according to their abilities at the plate, after all Aaron Cook, no matter how good of a hitter he is, isn't two runs per game better than Jimenez, yet a look at the Run Support for our starters shows that's exactly what he's getting in his starts:

De La Rosa 5.42
Cook 5.02
Reynolds 4.07
Francis 3.46
Jimenez 2.97

Well, okay, maybe the pitcher's hitting isn't it, since JDLR still has .000 in his batting average column for this year. At any rate, it would be nice if the Rockies came up with a few runs off of Wolf tonight for a little more support than Jimenez is used to getting.

Go Rockies!

Sitting here

in the Rosenthal Estate, drinking beer and celebrating our country’s independence day 48 hours early (since I have to work the actual holiday).

Made some lovely chicken salad this afternoon. Let’s see if the Rockies can pull this one out and give me a reason to drink that doesn’t involve losing.

the key to keeping wins going is to shutout the opponent.

They did acknowledge

that it was a lingering issue, so it’s not like they just barely figured this out (how long it’s been lingering and how long they’ve known, who knows). From the article Russ posted, it sounds like something they’re treating with just additional rest, and figured prior to the All-Star break would be a good time to do it. Unless there’s more they’re just not saying.

by Squeaky on Jul 2, 2008 7:49 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

He's not

worth the millions of dollars that his salary will inevitably be. If we give him 40 million over 5 years (sounds right), are we really going to get $35 million more in production over Ian Stewart in those 5 years?

by rosenthal on Jul 2, 2008 7:50 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm glad

you know that for certain after Stewart’s 80 (or whatever) mlb at-bats. The Rockies could use a scout like you.

by Ghoulowitzki on Jul 2, 2008 7:55 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

And yes,

8 million/year would be a bargain for his production. I’d expect him to command $12 mil/year and he’d still be worth it.

by Ghoulowitzki on Jul 2, 2008 7:56 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Use your

head.

We have a payroll of $70 million or so, right? Does it make sense to spend 1/10 of it on any one player when we already have millions locked up to other players? We cannot afford it.

Pretty freaking simple.

And considering Atkins’ has gotten worse over the last few years, I’d go ahead and guess that in 3 years that $8 million contract will be a colossal waste.

Although the Rays are awful fun to watch. And that Evan Longoria sure reminds me of a certain SS we have.

Different leagues

Plenty of people have an AL team and an NL team (though one probably takes precedence). The Rays are a perfect option for an AL team (if one doesn’t already have one), especially since they are in the same division as the Yankees and Red Sox.

Shouldn't be too hard

D'Backs are now below .500.

It’s ridiculous that we’re still kind of in it, at least in our pathetic division. Maybe our guys will actually start playing well, and us steadfast fans will be repaid with meaningful late-season games. I’m just saying… maybe.
