PrintColorado Rockies at Miami Marlins, Jul 31, 2008 5:10 PM MDT
Sanchez was desired by the Rockies if the Marlins were to trade for Brian Fuentes, now it's time to make the Fish have immediate second thoughts for rejecting that deal. No facing Manny Ramirez in this series, either, although in that case it's just putting off the inevitable.
Go Rockies!

No deadline trades
Would anybody agree with me if I said that the Rockies didn’t need to make a move, that all they need is Francis/Hirsh/Morales to get healthy & effective?

I would agree
Though we really need to get Francis AND either Hirsh or Morales (Hirsh slightly more likely at this point) to get going.
There were no starters out there worth what was being asked. However, I think we can easily pick Fogg off waivers in a few days, and give him a start or two. I wouldn’t get my hopes up, but there’s no reason to think he’d be worse than the unholy Redman/Wells/Rusch trinity, and a bit of reason to think he’d be better.
I retract a bit of what I’ve said on Rusch, but he’s really no better than Fogg.

I think the word "effective"
is key to your post, and far from a given for any of the three, particularly this year.
+1
I’ll even go as far as to say any one of the three. I do hope they make the best of the two draft picks they should get for Fuentes (assuming he’s not resigned) though. Sounds like those two picks are probably worth more than what anybody was offering in trade, plus we get Brian’s services for a couple more months. So no complaints from me today, aside from the minor annoyance of losing Arias to waivers.
I suppose
I’m trying to convince myself more than anyone else…

I agree...
The Rockies dont need Josh Fogg. Once Francis is back the rotation, you’ll see Jimenez, De La Rosa, Cook, Francis and Rusch as the rotation, though not in that order. Morales you wont see until he improves his current situation and someone in the bullpen goes down to injury. The rest of the schedule is in our favor and if the Rockies are 3-4 games behind at the end of August, September is going to be exciting with 15 of the first 18 games at Coors Field.

Who Said the Rockies wouldn't make a move today?
Read ‘em and weep:
Astros claim Alberto Arias off of waivers
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
Option?
I thought they sent him down because he had an option left. Thought that was what I read in an article.
No
the Rockies took him off the 40 man roster when they called up Cory Sulivan and added him to the 40 man roster. When they take a guy off the 40 man the player has to clear waivers. Jason Nix cleared waivers twice this year.
I guess we can give players away at least. Arias was no star, but I thought he was an ok BP arm.
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
ok
didn’t realize we took him off the 40-man
Is it a bit early...
....for Hurdle to pencil Tulo in at #2 in the lineup?
I know he’s been hot and swinging the bat well, but part of that could be because he’s been in a lower pressure spot.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
ummmmm
I say let him get his feet well established and his batting average over .250. Then maybe.
My thoughts exactly
Though not Hurdle’s, apparently.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Dangit
Yorvit is starting tonight, how many more homers does CDI need to hit before Hurdle lets Chris start more than a couple games in a row?
Remembering Dustin Mohr's glory years!
Amen
I defend Hurdle and O’Dowd quite often, but I’m with you 100% on this one!
Torrealba
Has been catching JDLR. I remember last time JDLR pitched, Jeff and Jack were saying that while Clint doesn’t really like to get in situations where a pitcher has a personal catcher, the two have been working really well together (it didn’t sound like only a language thing).
So while I generally agree with you, I think it has more to do with the pitcher in this case.
Random question
As a rockies fan would you trade our history for the Marlins? Are two World Champions worth the total fire sales and ridiculously low budgets…And here’s an amazing stat to help you ponder:
Rockies 1993-2008 1164-1313 0.470
Marlins (1993-2008) 1169-1302 0.473
Five win difference in 15 years!
Second half run?
I wouldn't trade it for anything
World Series titles aside, the history of the Marlins as a franchise, is shameful. Threats to move year after year, the worst budgets and payrolls, no real fan base to speak of. Sure they rented a few players for their 1997 run as nothing but a calculated gamble to get a boondoggle domed stadium.
No, they may have a better record in terms of progress once in the playoffs, but don’t forget, both clubs have made the postseason the same number of times. If we’d have somehow won it last fall, we wouldn’t really even have this conversation.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
That's the key, though
“if we’d have somehow won it last fall”. We didn’t, and Florida did (twice). We didn’t even manage to win a game. They have two rings. The Cubs don’t have any for a century, the Dodgers have exactly one playoff game win since the Marlins were created. Sure it would suck to be jerked around so much, but the glory of those titles would make it all fall away. And its not like our history is littered with close calls and awesome Septembers…
Yup, we have no rings, but...
The Marlins have no history, no continuity, no sense of attachment. 11 years removed from their 1st World Series, and most people (Purple Row readers notwithstanding, of course), probably can’t name one player from that 1997 Marlins club.
I mean, would you rather have the franchise history of the Marlins, or of either the Cubs or Dodgers.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
don't forget that
the Fish don’t have a fan base or a stadium (baseball stadium) either.

I assure you
that Marlins fans can name those players. Probably moreso than any regular Rockies fan could name Rockies players from that timeframe.
The Marlins have fans?
Rhetorical, sure, but given their average attendance through the years, certainly not many, never mind how much more populous the Miami-Dade County area is than here.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
What difference does it make?
Are we less fans of the Rockies than Dodger fans? Yankees? Hell, I suspect the Rockies would easily fall within the bottom 5 of overall fanbases in the league. I don’t feel like less of a fan for that. Do you?
Maybe I'm not making my point clearly enough
There are very few fans of the Marlins…very few. So while those very few may remember a couple players from the 1997 team, it almost doesn’t matter. That franchise’s history has driven so many people away from fandom that having won two rings hasn’t mattered.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Whatever
I suspect that the Marlins’ gate isn’t dramatically different from Denver’s over the same time period. And even if it is, so what? We’re talking about what history each of us would rather have.
History
Yes, and a franchise history goes well beyond strictly wins and losses. I guess we differ on that, but that’s cool. I’m outta here…driving home to watch the game.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Not necessarily
conceding the point, but man are there some empty seats in fish stadium tonite…
I give them a little break
because of the rain delay, but yeah. I think this is pretty close to typical, at least for a weekday game.
That is an interesting question
but I don’t think it took me more than 5 seconds to decide for the Fish. The WS last year was unreal, and we got crushed. I can’t imagine how it would feel to win one of those things, let alone winning two. And the fire sales certainly are lame, but not too far different from just never really signing anyone expensive for 5 years and not being competitive.
I'm personally of two minds
obviously the rockies are in a better place from a long term franchise perspective. Consider attendance so far this year. We are averaging double the attendance they are. But the Marlins seem much better at getting rid of veterans and reloading than we do. Less sentimental.
Second half run?
I'll
take the WS title, it’s why you play the game. Ask any of the players.
by DieHardRox on Jul 31, 2008 5:44 PM MDT up reply actions
Are you kidding?
I would trade my right arm for a local team that won two championships in its first 11 years of existence, as the Marlins have done. They’ve also had far better homegrown talent come up over the years, from Josh Beckett to Miguel Cabrera. What a great franchise the Rockies would be here in Denver, in our venue, with our fans, if we had been 2-time champions. We would still be selling out half the games.
When did that happen?
Time for delicious retro nite
Second half run?
I'll just say
That I wouldn’t trade last Sept. and Rocktober for love nor money. Yeah, we got our butts kicked in the Series. So?
We lived history last fall. Not with a bunch of rentals, but with our home-growns largely. It was the most exciting period in sports that I’ve ever lived through. The Fish can have their rings. We’ll get ours someday. But I’ll never ever forget the fall of 2007.
Put me out of my misery. Please!
That was a
once in a lifetime run but the long layoff killed us. You can’t not play real games for that long and expect to compete.

This may be an odd question...
but it’s probably the only place that I’ll get an answer.
I need to know that Fowler’s number will be when he comes to the BIG SHOW. It’s 24 now, but that’s Stewarts number.
I want to buy a personalized t-shirt jersey with his name on it….but I want the appropiate number. Doubt it’s possible to figure it out, but I thought it’d be worth asking.
I don't think he will decide until he gets to the MLB club.

Impossible to figure, but unlikely
As long as Stewart stays up with the club, there’s no chance (unless Stewart gives it up willingly).

who we need
is Jason Hirsh
Aut Vincam Aut Periam
by PioneerSkies on Jul 31, 2008 6:39 PM MDT up reply actions
I don't get it
why do we need Hirsh so much? We need good pitchers that we can count on. Hirsh may be that, I’m not holding my breath.
We need Hirshey
to be in the rotation. Healthy and effective, we can count on him. If the Rockies want a shot at winning the west our rotation needs to be:
1) Cook
2) Jimenez
3) Francis
4) Hirsh
5) Morales/Reynolds
Until this takes shape, we’ll still be floundering a half-dozen games out of first (at best). Like you say, we need pitchers that we can count on. JDLR is too inconsistent to be counted on, even when he’s been pitching well. Same goes for Rusch. We’ve had some decent, at times impressive, starts out of these two, but that couldn’t last. Nights like tonight were bound to happen. DLR and Rusch are good stopgap options. This team is going nowhere if they’re mainstays in the rotation (and the stopgap becomes Valerio De Los Santos). That is why we need Hirsh. Last year, Jason Hirsh was pitching better and better every start until he got hurt. Consequently, the injury stunted his development, which is why he’s been in the minors so long this season. Once he gets back to form, he’ll be solid and dependable.
Aut Vincam Aut Periam
by PioneerSkies on Jul 31, 2008 6:55 PM MDT up reply actions
I guess so
I’m just not sold that Hirsh will ever be that reliable. He was pitching better in the last few games before his injury, but he was still at best a #5 guy and to me, his stuff was hardly too exciting. Add to that, it has taken him FOREVER to get healthy and has not been able to be good enough to pitch for a team with no pitching…who knows. I just suspect he’ll be battling for the #5 job next year (assuming we add a decent guy to go with Cook/Jiminez/Francine) and I wouldn’t bet on him.
Oh god.

Yeah
We have a great and productive lineup scoring lots of runs, so what does Hurdle do? “Alteration.” Argh.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Sigh.
Facing a seven run deficit, the Rockies stand up…and…swing on the first pitch a bunch of times (or the second), and get 3 outs, no runs.
I just got really confused
seeing “J. Baker” up against Bottom-of-the-Wells, who I have to point out just achieved a major milestone: He got Cody Ross out.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Me too
I did the same exact thing. For a second I thought Gameday had screwed up. Then I had a split-second moment of questioning my own sanity, wondering if maybe Baker was now with the Marlins. Then I remembered to look at the picture and saw “John.” Oooohhh.
i don't like the sound of that

See that thing on the scoreboard, with the glowing numbers? You want more after the little thing that says “Rockies”.

My question earlier is answered...
yes, Cody Ross is going to murder us again

this game is so bad

2.5 hours in
and we’re in the bottom of the fourth. Of course, the delay didn’t help, but sheez.

Dear Dan,
There was really, really, really, really, really no pitching help out there today?
Put me out of my misery. Please!
We have Matt Herges,
JDLR, VLDS, Glendon Rusch, Bottom-of-the-Wells, and the Viz on the same pitching staff, and no one, no one, who was better and who we didn’t have to pay Stewart and Fowler for?
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Fuentes for Lohse and 2 warm bodies?

Are we even sure that the OTHER team asked for Stew/Fowler
and it’s not some more bs from our front office?

Give up a two-run single to the catcher hitting .196
Who saw that coming? Not me. I am shocked. SHOCKED.

1-10
Time for our position players to back up all the crying they did to the press over the potential Fuentes deal.
I think
Jiminez is the only shot at a win in this series.

Lets try to be optimistic
I mean, assuming we lose this game….this road trip is still 4-3…

you're right
but this is really painful. i mean, could this game have gone any worse?

Remember though
one game, in itself, cannot doom a whole season. We still have 52 games left, and we are only 7 games back (8 assuming AZ wins). We have a talented team, they are having an off night at the plate. Now then, DFA Wells immediately. He will provide nothing for the team. Bring up Hirsh, and Morales.
Remembering Dustin Mohr's glory years!
i feel the same way

Monster of a shot.
But by the wrong team.

Maybe if Kip just fails like mad
We’ll DFA him?
I’m trying to think positive here.

Okay...
Maybe it’s not such a bad idea to find something else to do after all.
are you serious?

Would you rather
have him cough up another 5 runs or something? Negative attitudes are like rocking chairs, sure they are fun, but you dont get anywhere
