Good lineup today

Go Rockies!!!

Fogg

I have a soft spot in my heart for Josh. I hope we beat them, but not too badly.

I just hope we beat them.

A sweep on the road sounds amazing.

U-ball

remembers to throw it around the IF after that catch. Good to see he’s been reminded of proper etiquette.

Enough with the tons of pitches and walking. Yes, even after one.

Fogger

smartly lowers his walk totals by hitting Iannetta instead.

I think he should’ve been called out on the previous pitch, but nice walk.

Really unusual for him

usually he’s Cook-esque in his GB rate. But if they’re outs, no biggie.

Tulo

is pretty big for an SS at 6’3” and 200 lb. That was where all the Cal Ripken comparisons came from. He does look skinnier this year, but sheez, scrawny f*#&@ing SS is the sole domain of David Eckstein.

His swing is complex mechanically

which leads to some worries that he might be hamstrung by big league pitchers, who are (obviously) much more able to change speed and location than AA pitchers. Still, the kid has a glittering future and I think we see him in September, with a chance to win the starting role in ‘09.

That's what I've heard

He might pitch on Tuesday. (I think it’s Tuesday…)

by Squeaky on Jul 27, 2008 1:36 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That might be early,

he was still on a pitch count last night. Generally they give them one start in AA/AAA to go until they are done.

I agree.

Was always confident with him at Coors, but this road trip has been very promising for Baker especially.

This recent resurgence has to mean Matt’s staying, right? Right? I keep hearing all these trade rumors and they’re worrying me. I know we’re losing him, I just don’t wanna do it NOW.

by Silverblood on Jul 27, 2008 1:47 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think it would be a really dumb idea

To trade Matt right now. Maybe in the offseason or next year if the return is good. But not right now. This lineup needs him there.

by Squeaky on Jul 27, 2008 1:49 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'd have to think so

After all, it’s just the NL West. And it’s ripe for the taking. DOD has to know that.

I'd still be fine with

leaving Cincinnati with Arroyo. He’s not a world-beater, but he CAN eat innings and when he’s on, he’s really on. Still better than Kip Wells, the Reds can eat most of the salary, and I’m sure we can help the Reds upgrade in, say, CF….

No one

Seems willing to meet O’Dowd’s asking price on Fuentes. With the Rockies playing so well after the break, there’s no real urgency to move him. Either someone pony’s up what he’s asking for or they’ll keep him for the stretch run and take the picks in the offseason.

Holy crap. When I left at the end of the 4th with a score of 7-0, I felt reasonably confident that I’d come home to find they’d one, but 11-0 is not at all what I was expecting. I was thinking maybe 7-2, 8-3. But not 11-0! I approve!

Three things

Three things I realized while watching the game this afternoon.

1) Regardless of how well he pitched from outing to outing, I always did love watching Josh Fogg pitch. One of my all-time favorite Rockies. I miss the guy.

2) There is absolutely nothing wrong with Kip Wells in a relief role. In fact, I endorse it – if you’re going to keep him on the big roster, might as well utilize him in a role that fits him best, and his hard sinker seems to play pretty well in shorter outings.

3) I don’t think the Rockies offense ever got this hot at any point last season. They just aren’t missing mistakes, and everybody’s contributing. It’s really quite fun to watch. If we can bring this road-trip back at 7-3 or better I think we can get officially excited about August and perhaps beyond.

Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.

Machine's innings to be throttled

Jhoulys Chacin with his combined 15-1 season record goes again for Modesto this evening in a 6:05p.m. PDT start.

Denver Post footnotes this morning…
(Rockies’ director of player development ) Gustafson said Chacin has thrown 143 1/3 innings and might be kept on restricted innings for the rest of this season. . . .

Not exactly sure if this has any bearing on Chacin moving up to AA Tulsa anytime soon.
