It doesn't look like it, does it?
Anybody know what it’s doing in Denver? Up in evergreen it’s really nasty…windy and rainy.
He's looking like the Helton of Old

There is a bright side to the '08 season.
Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens are out of baseball.
Good start...
may there be many more runs for our Rockies! They said it was really cloudy and dark in Denver, but no rain on the radar.

Yorvit is incentivized
To be out-RBI’s by Danny Ardoin would be a nightmare for any catcher.

3rd RBI for the season for Ardoin
not sure he managed that many in his entire Rockies career.
Yorvit has progressed.
Instead of the groundout Yorvit special, we now have the flyout Yorvit special.
Note to self
Do not drink FO Kool Aid during spring training next year unless (at least) one more non-stiff pitcher is located from outside the organization.
Second half run?

This series has been throw-back Coors Field baseball
But I think it’s more the hot hitters and weak pitchers than the humidor.

If he can get through 5 innings
without surrendering the lead, consider it a “good outing”, relatively speaking.

Well
We already knew Ardoin was a giant steaming pile of fail, so it’s not THAT unexpected. Garrett Atkins, Speed Demon™ however, is.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Atkins
I’m not sure what it says that nobody even covered the base…Ardoin had nobody to throw it to, because nobody apprarently even considers the possibility that GA might run.
No more runs..
but still amused by the Atkins delayed steal lol.

Grilli has been solid this year
nice trade by O Dowd so far
Second half run?
Definitely
I expected a new Jorge Julio but he has been very solid so far.
I like "Gas Grilli" better
It can have good or bad connotations, depending on how you choose to look at it.

Rusch has already been used
so Hurdle was out of illogical pinch hitters

If these 2 teams traded their catchers of the day
Would it make any difference?

Quick
Let’s put Martin in an Ardoin jersey and convince them to make that trade.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
I know
Yorvit bashing is fun, but come on. Comparing him to Ardoin is unfair, even for this site. Like comparing Hawpe to Mohr. Or something, I don’t know. Its bad.
Ardoin: Over the last month: 2 hits, 5 Abs .400 avg.
Torrealba over the last month: 8 hits in 34 abs for a .235 avg
so it’s a very small sample size, but Torrealba IS approaching Ardoin area…..but Ardoin had a better arm.
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
Maybe its just personal
But I think Ardoin is far and away the worst player to ever wear the Rockies uniform (for any meaningful amount of time) and I don’t think its close. He was “Exhibit A” for my longtime belief that the Rockies were not at all serious about winning. I’m still shocked that the Dodgers have him playing at all, and I make fun of Dodgerfan quite often about it. Most of them are blissfully unaware of who he is because Martin plays so much.
Grilli did bat...
ground ball. 2 outs.

Before the Sunday game against the Mets,
I must have met the biggest Jason Grilli fan. The entire family wore Grilli jerseys (Rockies ones) and Grilli personally invited the family down to talk with him

What did they do with their Tigers jerseys?

Are you sure
they weren’t Jason Grilli’s, you know, family? Since I can’t imagine that anyone else would be THAT interested.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Betsy and I speculated
that they might be. And by met, I mean that I saw them two boxes away from me while I tried to get Luis Vizcaino to throw a ball to me (he threw it to my brother).

Good things happening....
Manny back to being Manny…..Ian Stewart not just looking like a major league hitter, but a good major league hitter…Tulo back in the saddle…Jeff Baker blossoming into a legit every day player.
After all the crap, it sure is nice to see the young guys step up.
And special props to Corpas—he could have folded and ended up back in AAA struggling to throw strikes, but he’s stepped up, kept his confidence up and will be back to being a dominating closer before too long.
Stewie,,,,

I deliberately left Ethier in my fantasy starting lineup because I knew if I took him out, he’d end up double-punishing me by getting a hit in a spot like this. Reverse karma…
there is a good delay

One big thing the rox have going for them this road trip—a hot trio of Baker, Stewart and Tulo.
Yeah
Maybe the guys can finally remember to pack their hitting shoes this trip. If they can’t win on a hot streak coming out of the break, they really have solved nothing at all and are the same old fluky Rox.

45-58 now
not great, but 6 1/2 out of first at the moment and 5 behind the Dodgers
6 and 1 this home stand…...
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
Ok, we have some life in this team after a year of no life
but do we have the Starting Pitching we did this year as we had last year? The Tio of DLR, G. Rusch, and Kip Bottom-of-the-Wells doesn’t warm the cockles of my ole heart
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
By the way....
what do you guys think of Sam Adams’ suggested in the RMN this morning that the Rox give Chacon a shot? Me – I’m all for seeing anyone other than Kip Wells out there, so I’m good with a minimum contract for Chac.
If he fails (or chokes O’Dowd) cut him loose. But he’s still a fairly talented guy—at least talented enough to be a 5th starter on this team.
Yeah
I’ve always liked Chacon, I’m all for giving him a shot. If he struggles and strangles O’Dowd, well then we win either way. Sorry, couldn’t help it.
Lets not forget last year
that Cook and Hirsh and Lopez went down, and we had to scramble big time. Of course that would require Morales getting called up and…pulling a Morales.
Second half run?
Absolutely not
the upside of value Chacon brings is that of a decent fifth starter, not terrible, but will throw some clunkers in there and have us cursing him from time to time.
The downside is that he comes in, fails again, and acts like an a-hole both in public and behind the curtains in the clubhouse.
It’s funny how quick everyone forgets Chacon ripping the efforts of the organization, the coaches, etc. on his way out of town, and now after going Sprewell on Wade we think he’ll be welcome back with open arms…
It’s never been Chacon’s fault, so I don’t see hiw giving him a “second chance” shows anything. It would be easier to deal an unusable asset like a Register or Carte or a couple for a number five than throw money at this terrific character.
Barmes prepping for OF?
I was out today and away from the game and the Row, but later noticed this note in the ESPN game recap…
“Rockies manager Clint Hurdle has INF Clint Barmes taking fly balls in the outfield. “I think there’s going to be more opportunity out there for him than a lot of people think,” Hurdle said. Barmes has started at short, second and third this season.”

That seems to signal
A trade is in the offing. (Well, to me it does anyway.) Willy, Pods, Hawper, maybe even (gasp) Matty?????
Put me out of my misery. Please!
That...
is an odd comment from Hurdle. One thing I read into it is that Baker is the everyday 2B from here on out. That’s a good thing (offensively, at least).
But Barmes has earned the chance to play regularly. If the OF is his ticket to playing time, OK. I guess if any of the three starters are moved, Spilly steps into the starting lineup and Barmes becomes the extra guy?
