Game #104: Cook vs Volquez

Colorado Rockies @ Cincinnati Reds



Next Game

Colorado Rockies
@ Cincinnati Reds

Friday, Jul 25, 2008, 5:10 PM MDT
Great American Ball Park

Aaron Cook vs Edinson Volquez

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 80.

 

Complete Coverage >


The Reds have to hold onto a team of the future tag for one more season at least, as they've fallen to a double digit deficit in the Central this season. It's the cruel luck of baseball that the Rockies, who are five games behind Cincinnati, are in a better position to try for the playoffs this year. Not that our hope is any more realistic, we just have the fortune of playing in a division where it seems as though anything's possible.

Of course, once again, to make dreams of another playoff run practical, the Rox need to take advantage of an opportunity to make up ground on the road (they really are on the road this time, I checked) something that they've proven incapable of thus far.

I'm hoping my own presence at the GABP brings a little luck tonight.


Go Rockies!

I was about to have an aneurysm

Thank you for clearing that up. I mean, it was the furthest thing from sense, but then again, that IS Hurdle’s trademark.

When I first saw it

I figured that Clint’s love for/desire to get Yorvie in the lineup had finally gotten the better of him and he’d gone completely insane.

Yankees trade?

SI.com has a banner saying that there is a reported trade of Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte to the Yankees for 4 prospects including Jose Tabata and Ross Ohlendorf.

by MADness on Jul 25, 2008 6:16 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, Nady and Marte did get traded

I saw that on MLB. I didn’t know that the team they had gone to was revealed, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it were the Yanks, who get their OF and LHP in one fell swoop.

Free Casey Weathers!!!!

by Silverblood on Jul 25, 2008 6:21 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Package deal

Makes it hard to figure out what kind of value the Pirates got but atleast they finally got someone (and held onto Bay) and also it takes Nady and, more importantly, Marte off of the market.

by MADness on Jul 25, 2008 6:25 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I want to say it's a weak trade

but that would also suggest that I think Nady is having something other than a fluke year (no it’s BABIP flukey).

Tabata has only one “skill” and that’s age, eventually it too will cease to impress.

Ohlendorf is actually a solid pickup by Pittsburgh, but I’m not sure about Coke or Kontos.

Bottom line, it has name power in the top prospects, but as a player, I’m not sure Tabata is worth it.

by David OhNo on Jul 25, 2008 6:26 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Let me instead put it this way:

Ryan Spilborghs is a superior player to Xavier Nady…

... of course you could also say this:

Ryan Spilborghs is the most underrated outfielder in baseball.

Obliques are bad injuries

as far as having an affect on offensive performance, so it’s probably best to give him all the time he needs to keep the injury from lingering.

I'm pretty sure that if we get Arroyo

we won’t get the dependable workhorse, but rather the one that Dusty has ridden to hell and back. I kinda feel bad for his arm, and especially coming over to our organization, which of course has SO much success with pitchers.

Willy T

His offensive struggles overshadow just how good he is becoming defensively.

Last year he seemed like a slightly raw defender who relied on blazing speed. This year you are seeing some great jumps and some spectacular catches.

Simply put – Spilly doesn’t reach a lot of the balls that Willy routinely gets to – let alone the ones that he has to dive for like that.

Stewart just got...

Baseball Tonight’s #1 WebGem of the night….actually for both plays but especially the second gem throwing from his butt.

Amazing play

Watch the concentration to even track the ball coming in and get his glove on it.

Then the throw was obviously spectacular.

Morales had a good outing

as well tonight. He went 6 2/3 and didn’t give up a run, he did have 4 BB’s, but 5 K’s. I hope that article about him hitting bottom is right on. I would love to see him get back to his old form.

You were our good luck charm tonight! Hope you had a great time. Give us a report tomorrow.

Put me out of my misery. Please!
