Yorvit

was supposed to start, but now he’s injured. Looks like he’ll go on the DL, as Adam Melhuse is on his way to the ballpark right now.

I was wondering, the day after a night game start seemed out of character

for Hurdle’s typical lineup construction. Let’s hope we benefit from this.

Update

Yorvit hasn’t been placed on the DL, but is being looked at by the team’s medical staff. Melhuse has replaced Sully on the roster.

Rusch has been a pretty good pick-up, all told.

Seeing as the Rockies will need to sigh a couple of guys like him in the offseason for insurance, I wouldn’t mind if he was one of them. Certainly a better option than Mark Redman.

5 pitch inning for Haren,

Just call it a hunch, but I think more Haren and less AZ bullpen shouldn’t have been put into our gameplan today. Whoever it was that was okay with that idea needs a paradigm shift.

we just need to work more counts with Haren and we’ll have a decent chance.

Woot,

I never like rooting for injuries, but without Atkins and Spilly, I hate our lineups lately when Iannetta sits. SO in this case, particularly since it’s against the D-backs, I’m kind of glad Yorvit couldn’t play today.

Atkins at least is at the ballpark today...

so hopefully he should be back soon. CDI has really proven to be an offensive factor and has caught several good games. Rusch has been great, I am very happy for him.

but you never know, he could be hiding out in the diamondbacks dugout infecting them. Maybe he’s dressed as dinger so he could easily at least get on top of their dugout. Poor Atty wants to spread the germs haha.

Speaking of pain...

The fine folks at Plunk Biggio (now plunkeveryone.com) let me know via e-mail that the Rockies are creeping up on their 1000th franchise plunking. Iannetta’s HBP is #998 in franchise history, I guess, so we’ve got to break out the party hats soon.

Yeah atkins came in on a double switch...

From another article I read, he still seems pretty weak, but is showing good effort.one out, then the intentional walk to load the bases by Vizcaino. Viz is in for Herges.

Well, it looks like that bet might turn out a little bad...

I mean, there’s still that chance that we end up in a mult-team tie with the D-backs for the division and other teams for the Wild Card and have to play two extra games against them to see who goes to the playoffs, but that’s looking wee bit far fetched right now.

by Rox Girl on Aug 14, 2008 3:02 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

At least the Viz...

K’s Reynolds and then allows Tracy to pop up, so no additional runs in the inning.

It's a good thing,

I’m hoping Viz’s presence keeps the FO from trying to go out and spend too much on other relief help. We’ve got to start trusting our scouts and minor league coaches to get us the help we need in that department internally.

It seems to me like Matt has a disproportionate number of lead-off home runs. Is that true, or just my faulty perception?

by holly96 on Aug 14, 2008 3:35 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

lead off home runs

matt has 8 home runs leading off an inning and 7 more solo homeruns. so yes very disproportionate. id imagine this is mainly because he gets much better pitches when hes up with noone on then when runners are on the bases

by purplesocks on Aug 14, 2008 5:14 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Pitch selection

Ah, better pitch selection does explain much of the disparity. That hadn’t occurred to me (though it should have). It still seems to be a little bit more than the norm, though.
