Game #159: Manny Parra vs Aaron Cook

Milwaukee Brewers at Colorado Rockies, Oct 1, 2009 1:10 PM MDT


 

 

OVERFLOW THREAD

 

OVERFLOW THREAD #2

 

It's sort of interesting to see how the 2009 season has unfolded for the National League's two most recent wild card winners. Heading into April, Milwaukee was coming off their 2008 playoff appearance sort of apprehensive about how they would fare without C.C. Sabathia or Ben Sheets. The Rockies were looking to rebound from a disappointing year despite losing Matt Holliday as the centerpiece of their lineup. At this point, it's obviously safe to say that the Rockies were able to overcome their loss, the Brewers were not.

Going forward, the Brewers will need to fix a rotation that has been about 1/10th as valuable as the Rockies starters in 2009 if they want to sniff the playoffs again in the next few seasons. Without significant impact pitchers close to contributing from their farm system, it's difficult to see how they are going to be able to accomplish this. Trading Prince Fielder might help, but that's robbing Peter to pay Paul as it were, so the impact won't be as great as it could be. At the moment, it's really looking like the Brewers window of opportunity for contention was open and shut within about the space of three seasons. This is fairly typical for small or midmarket teams. The Rockies don't figure to be significantly weakened in the off season and should be able to extend their window to at least that fourth year, and 2011 isn't looking too shabby right now, either. This is why re-signing Dan O'Dowd should be the biggest priority whenever our season does finally conclude. It took awhile for the plan he finally settled on to start paying dividends, but it has in big ways and the Rockies would be wise to acknowledge that.

Aaron Cook can clinch our second playoff appearance in three seasons today,

He's a bad pitcher who's actually pitched pretty well the last couple times out

ERA over 6. Peripherals a bit better than Suppan’s.

Power lefty, similar to Morales but with not quite as good of stuff.

He tries to keep the ball on the ground, but hasn’t been very successful with that, at least not like Rockies pitchers are.

WHIP of 1.78

K/BB around 1.5:1

19 dingers in 137 innings.

But he’s a lefty who shut down Philly for 7 innings in his last start

I guess this will be the lineup for first 3 games against the Philles. Philles know not to throw a RHP beacause then you have no Smith, Stewart, or Cargo starting when LHP is starting. Is this good?

Because there's no WAY

that such scrub teams as the Rockies and Reds could actually beat them at a fair game. Arroyo pitched well in beating them last night and Smoltz said he had trouble gripping the ball. By DuncanLogic, that = REDZ R HAX0R5

dozens of balls in a single game. LaRussa, we have now left the dead-ball era, just FYI

by Muzia on Oct 1, 2009 12:58 PM MDT up reply actions  

Exactly.

It gets even more ridiculous when you consider the fact that the Cardinals used four other pitchers besides Smoltz last night, and NONE of them complained about slippery baseballs. Thus, by Occam’s Razor, we are forced to conclude that the Reds did not cheat and that John Smoltz is just Oldy McSuckserson these days.

Arroyo is known for looking for any advantage he can get. He also throws a cutter which can be pretty wicked, a lot like Kenny Rogers when he was on.

The Cards are big on head games

They kept calling time outs as the pitchers were starting their windup, complaining about bull pen mounds, etc. Helps me hate them going in to the playoffs.

by margabelle on Oct 1, 2009 1:02 PM MDT up reply actions  

Frequently,

whenever La Russa wants to remove a pitcher from a game after the end of an inning, he’ll let the pitcher to be removed take the mound and throw his warm-up tosses, THEN walk out and signal to the bullpen before he actually pitches to a hitter.

It’s not illegal, I just think it’s really, really rude and classless.

by Foxhole Atheist on Oct 1, 2009 1:03 PM MDT up reply actions  

And then he complained about Street throwing too many in the bullpen.

How can that even matter? Since when are pitchers limited to a certain number of pitches in the bullpen? I don’t understand why the umps listened to him.

So Tony LaRussa continues to tick me off,

Not only did the Rockies groundskeeper have to deal with his silly gamesmanship in our series vs. the Cardinals over the weekend, but today he pulled Chris Carpenter after only five innings pitched despite throwing a shutout. This ticks me off because I’m fighting for a win in my fantasy league and for some reason the guy who set it up has quality starts as a category and I was brutally denied from catching up in that one today.

It's gamesmanship..

once my HS football team (Montrose) played in Gunnison, a smaller school. The coach for Gunnison complained that we were using illegal receivers gloves. The rule had recently changed, and a few of us were. The refs checked everyone’s gloves and delayed the start of the game. Gunnison ended up taking an early lead because losing their gloves threw off some of our leaders.

RISP and Yorvit

btw, my quick research shows that if Yorvit can hang on to his .500 BA with RISP, he’ll be just the second player in the last 6 years to hit .500 with more than 200 total plate appearances for the year (not just PA with RISP). the other was Texiera in 2007. Yorvit currently with 238 PA (20-40 RISP), Texeira had 240 PA (don’t know his exact RISP #s). Also, the site I looked at only went back to 2004, so only had those 6 years to work with.
