Let's see what
“the Dudes from Denver” have tonight. Something good, I hope.

Four pitches, two outs.
Take some time with this AB, Matt.

Expected struggles
Baker is still a (relatively) young guy with limited experience as an everyday player in the big leagues.
Struggles and slumps are to be expected (even more so than for veterans). Lets see how or if he fights through it and gets back to swinging a hot bat. The same goes for Stewart.

well we didn't score 3 in the
first tonight, so maybe we have chance.

All right, Troy.
Maybe the start of something.

Tulo's staying hot,
too bad everyone else has gone cold the last 2 games.

Sac fly
for the 1-0 lead.

Stew doubles.
Time for Aaron to use his mighty bat.

Is anyone watching the game?
Because I’m following only on my computer and that last inning there were several called strikes that were shown as WAY out of the strike zone (specifically, the last pitch to Cook). Any insight?

Bad calls
That last pitch to Cook ticked Cook off and one earlier in the inning looked really bad (forget which pitch and to which batter).

I thought
the pitch to Cook was just about perfect.

Heh so we might be facing Manny Ramirez
in So Fla this weekend…
Second half run?
by moomacher on Jul 30, 2008 5:33 PM MDT 0 recs
There is absolutely zero chance of that happening
Even if, as the rumor claims, Boston will “help” pay some of Manny’s salary, the players Boston is asking for are cheap and under Florida’s control for years. This alleged deal would go against everything Loria stands for in ownership. I note the rumor emanating from Boston, not Miami, and stems more from their desperation to see Manny gone than anything else.

Manny would fit in great with Florida
no D, lots of power.

Holliday
with a terrible defensive play. What has happened to this team’s defense?
by Teekalong on Jul 30, 2008 5:35 PM MDT 0 recs
Playing with fire there
but after the AS game, hard to think Cook would get shaken by a few ducks on the pond…

Nice play Cookie..
Oh god, why is Barmes starting in RF??

No other reason than I can think
of besides being Hurdle’s little pocket pet…Seriously why the hell would not at least switch him and Baker. Jeff is a much better outfielder than Barmes ever dreamt of being.

well
Hawpe and Smith are both lefties…Baker is the starting 2b…I don’t hate it

I realize that Baker is the starting 2nd baseman, but why if you're going
to start both Baker and Barmes, wouldn’t you try and put them in the best position to be successful? Which tome would be Barmes at 2nd and Baker in RF.
by jimmyski on

Because Baker is the starting 2nd baseman
Maybe it’s a confidence issue, but if you say Player A is your starter in a spot, and you’re giving Player C a rest, you generally don’t move Player B into Player A’s spot just for the sake of putting Player A into Player C’s spot.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Player B be the starter at that spot instead of Player A?

I don't agree with that logic...Barmes is better defensively at 2nd than Baker
and Baker would easily be better defensively in RF than Barmes would. Put them in a position to be successful and help not hurt the team.

if he
hit at the beginning of the year like he is now…we might not be so terrible. Great to see his adjustments paying off.

Very nice
Great throw, too. Nice to see Bake show off the wheels. And actual good baserunning by the rest, moving up to 2nd and 3rd. This worked before, so:

time for a big hit here.

Ignoring the home run
What I like seeing is how the Rockies offense has continued to put pressure on the Pirates through the entire game. They have been running up the pitch count, scratching out some runs and getting baserunners on.

5th inning
and the Pirates is apparently the Rockies nemesis. At least we scored a bunch of our own in the top of the inning.

There's the first out.
Don’t be slow in getting the next two.

Would Helton have made the play on Doumit’s ball? Impossible to say, I’m sure, but I can’t help thinking so after watching this sad defensive performance.
