Game #125: Hernandez vs Lannan
Colorado Rockies @ Washington Nationals
Livan experiment, take two.
With JDLR's recent spate of strong starts, you have to think that Livan won't get a third chance with another bad outing tonight. While we're on the subject of preparing for 2009, you would think that at some point Ian Stewart's career .342/.419/.658 line against left handed pitching would dictate his placement higher in the batting order than say someone like Brad Hawpe, who for all his recent heroics is historically less effective against LHP's or especially a speedy centerfielder that manages just a .274/.325/.343 line against them, but alas:
Anyway, go Rockies!

Hmm
I see we’re still relying on the “Yorvit helps Latino pitchers” theory.

CDI was probably due for a night off
After catching four straight games, I don’t mind it in this case. I just hope tomorrow starts another four in a row.

[Facepalm]
Yorvit, how I (haven’t) missed you. What exactly, I wonder, was the rationale for batting him ahead of Stewart?

Not his fault
Troy hit into an inning inning double play right before that and Yorvit has a torn up knee so he didn’t have a prayer of out running anything.

Yeah
Tulo got a pretty big break, but still. Yorvit’s job is to make them PAY for those mistakes, not let them get out of it a batter later. But if he DOES have a bum knee, why is he batting any higher than eighth? That is what I do not get.

Torn meniscus
Not sure why he is out there at all but I haven’t heard any details about the injury.

I think the brain trust
wants to see if they should DL him. Having him play through a knee injury is a funny way to find out.

Why not bat Torrealba ninth?
With Livan a terrific hitter, wouldn’t this be the perfect time four our fearless leader to bat the catcher ninth (Stewart seventh, Livan eighth, YT ninth)?

I do have to admit he hits decently..
for a pitcher, but I really don’t want the Nats to get back in this…..whatever that requires, Rockies please do it. 1-2-3 inning for the Viz…

Livan just ran out of gas i guess...
either that or we were trying maintain our reputation of being such a friendly team and just wanted to give a few to the Nationals.

On a side note
not a bad night for at least 1 pitching prospect. Chacin 5 innings, 10 GO’s, 5K’s, and only 3 hits, no Runs. I would say he needs a couple AA starts, but it won’t happen. I was a little disappointed in Morales tonight, but I’m not giving up on a 2010 rotation of Cook, Uball, Morales, Chacin, and Friedrich.
