Rockies 1, Phillies 5: Cliff Lee twirls a gem for Phillies in Rockies dud

PrintThe Rockies ran into a buzzsaw today, and it's name is Cliff Lee. The lefty starter for the Phillies was masterful today, proving that the Rockies still have trouble hitting southpaws. The Rockies couldn't crack Lee until the final inning. Carlos Gonzalez sandwiched in a single between outs by Dexter Fowler and Todd Helton. After moving to second on a wild pitch, Carlos Gonzalez scored on a Troy Tulowitzki double. And then Garrett Atkins struck out to end the game.
This game was close for the first four and half innings, but that fifth inning proved troublesome for Ubaldo Jimenez. It started with a walk and culminated with a Brad Hawpe fielding error. With the score 2-0, it wasn't that bad. However, if the fifth inning was only troublesome, the sixth inning was horrendous. Chase Utley singled and stole second to start the inning. Then with the powerful winds in Philly today, Ryan Howard launched a ball to left field that Carlos Gonzalez was ohsoclose to catching. Instead, he didn't make the catch and hit the wall. 3-0 Phillies. It got much worse as Jayson Werth tripled to center (with help from the wind) for the fourth run. After that, Tracy removed Jimenez from the game, having recorded no outs that inning. Joe Beimel allowed another run, though credited to Jimenez.
The pitching quartet of Beimel, Matt Daley, Franklin Morales, and Jason Marquis held the Phillies in check for the rest of the game.
Another storyline to this game was the blown and missed calls made by the umpires today. If you read through this SBNation.com StoryStream, you'll find evidence that will break your heart and likely make you bitter.
So the first game was a loss. The series is not over; we did not fall off of a cliff (oh, that's a bad pun) today. Did we realistically believe that the Rockies would take both game at CBP? I doubt it, and who doesn't want to see two NLDS games at Coors? It's time for the Rockies to squeeze out a win tomorrow with Aaron Cook on the mound and then take both games at Coors Field this weekend.
GO ROCKIES!

A total face-plant
today by the team. Bad defense, hitting, and mediocre pitching by Ubaldo’s standards.
All of you naysayers remember..
the Rockies didn’t go undefeated in the 2007 postseason and they still played in the World Series!

I am not a naysayer, but
I don’t like the analogy… I could say we have never won a series in which we lost a game!… but I won’t.
oh, oops

the Rockies never won a playoff series before or since 2007, but that’s meaningless. They need to win one game in Philadelphia and sweep in Colorado. No big deal.

Sometimes it just goes to show...
that maybe we fans have absolutely no idea about this game. Jim Tracy said he thought Ubaldo was pitching the best he’d seen in a month and gave no thought to removing him before the 6th. He felt if he had then it would have been a bad message to Ubaldo. Oh and on the closeup replay, CarGo had the ball in his glove…ugh…:(

Ubaldo was un-ubaldo like
and came out and pitched strong right away, and then slowly lost it. Cliff Lee started off shaky, and found the zone after three. Our window to do damage was the first two innings, and unfortunately, they were robbed of us, by atkins in the first, and the 3B umpire in the 2nd.
Thinking we were going to get hits after the 3rd would just be silly.
I hope we do better tomorrow.

We'll get'em tomorrow!
The Rockies are awesome! We didn’t look great today, but a great lefty pitcher having an awesome game can do that. I do not blame Ubaldo at all… AT ALL.
Looking forward to awesomeness from the whole team tomorrow.

well I did missed the game...
just the “tip your hat” part sounded like Frazier. Since people are saying Lee pitched as well as he did, then I guess he did.
Can Tracy please try playing Smith, Stewart, and/or Iannetta in game 2?
Please?
What, playing your best players in the most important game? That’s crazy talk.
This lineup just wasn’t getting it done today. Was Lee good today? Sure he was. But he wasn’t great and the Rockies made him look great.
My proposed Game 2 Lineup:
Gonzalez
Fowler
Helton
Tulowitzki
Smith
Iannetta
Stewart
Barmes
Cook
Eschew Obfuscation!
this is the line-up...
I pretty much wanted, putting out the best defense to minimize silly errors. To be honest is there really an update with Atkins offensively over Stewart? Cause I sure as hell don’t think so.
Against lefties Atkins is better (this year)
I am fine with Stew and CDI, but leave the outfield alone.

Dex looked pretty bad too, swinging at the first pitch twice (both hittable) and not doing much with it.

I hate to say this but benching someone for swinging at the first pitch and not producing sounds a lot like Clint Hurdle

As you can see above, I'm not advocating benching Fowler...
just observing that he didn’t perform well today.

Fair enough
I actually agree with your lineup. I just don’t think it’s the reason we lost the game today.

Not the sole reason, just a contributor.
My point is that going forward the Rockies have the best chance of winning by playing their best players.
Having weapons off the bench is all well and good but if you’re down by five Smith and Giambi won’t matter.
Eschew Obfuscation!
I'm not sure I want to lose Dex's speed....
will you play EY2 instead?

I wouldn't.....
EY2 has only been in the Majors for 30 days, and to give him a start? That is just too much pressure, he most likely won’t perform well.
Or against spheroid objects hurtling towards his area of the grasssy part of the field
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
I completely disagree on your Lee assessment
Until the 9th inning when the game was pretty much over we had four hits and two of them were from Atkins and Yorvit.
I agree we should start Stewart and I wouldn’t mind giving CDI or Smith a try but come on, Lee not the lineup was the Rockies biggest problem today.

They're better players. Playing better players will give the Rockies a better chance to win.
As for Lee, like I said, he was good (and throwing strikes) but our hitters were not taking advantage of several good pitches to hit (I’m looking at you, Atkins and Fowler in particular).
What I’m saying is that our lineup helped Lee out quite a bit today, swinging at several first pitches and not making him work for his outs.
Eschew Obfuscation!
But I think they were swinging at a lot of strikes
If Lee is throwing strikes and we can’t hit them he must be pitching well

by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Oct 7, 2009 4:35 PM MDT up reply actions
They only struck out five times despite all the strikes.
What the Rockies failed to do is make good contact despite having several good pitches to hit.
Lee WAS pitching pretty well—but he was hardly dominant.
Eschew Obfuscation!
The low strike out number says to me that the strategy itself was decent, but, as you say, they just couldn't make good contact.
That’s got to be partly on them, and partly on Lee.
You don't have to strike people out to be dominant

by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Oct 7, 2009 4:40 PM MDT up reply actions
I agree with you on that point, but in my opinion it wasn't all Lee making us foolish.
A large part of it was the Rockies helping him out and making themselves look foolish.
That’s my point.
Eschew Obfuscation!
If nobody's hitting you hard, then you're dominating.
It’s about location – jamming hitters, getting them on the front foot, getting them into pitcher’s counts and swinging at pitches out of their comfort zones to try and avoid strikeouts.
Cliff Lee dominated today. Period.
"You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around the whole time." - Jim Bouton
But that's not what I'm saying. The Rockies didn't hit well against HITTABLE PITCHES.
They helped out Lee quite a bit. That’s all I’m saying.
Eschew Obfuscation!
So. Heres a question
how is it determined what’s a hittable pitch? If the pitcher jams you, changes pitches repeatedly, gets you off balance, makes little to no mistakes. What becomes hittable?

I agree...
“hittable pitches” at this level need to be defined post hoc (after they already were hit). If they weren’t hit then at that moment they were unhittable.
"It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." ~W. Churchill
That's a tough but fair question.
My answer is that it falls more on the art side of the baseball equation (are you reading this Redhawk—art over science!)—it isn’t quantifiable and is highly variable.
I rely on my observation and baseball experience (which admittedly is limited to the HS level) to determine the effectiveness of any given pitch.
Eschew Obfuscation!
There's a big difference
between ‘hittable’ pitches from the Matt Belisles of the world and those thrown by guys like Cliff Lee. That’s why Lee’s got a Cy Young on his mantle. It’s that slight movement to Lee’s fastball, his delivery hiding the ball well, and his ability to pitch so well off of his fastball and set hitters up later in at-bats.
This isn’t like Kyle Kendrick just stuck it where the sun don’t shine for nine innings with fringy stuff. I think Lee deserves just about all the credit.

Yes I agree wholeheartedly
"It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." ~W. Churchill
And I think he deserves a lot of credit too, but not as much as you're giving him...
based on different interpretations of similar observations.
Agree to disagree.

I agree to agree to disagree
Batters who walk to first usually come running home.
by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Oct 7, 2009 4:56 PM MDT up reply actions
I generally agree
I was robbed of any real way to evaluate the location because of the unbelievably lame TBS online thing, but the guy was never behind in the count and had from my vantage only 4 hard-hit balls in the game, and of those only Tulo’s 9th inning was really charged.
You can always say great pitching is the product of inept offense, or vice versa. But when the guy on the hill has a Cy Young and walked precisely nobody, that says to me that the man on the hill was doing his job.
Whatever, sometimes you get handled in baseball, and today was one of those days. Uball was disappointing, but so be it, he could have thrown a CG 2 run game and lost.
Dust off, back at it tomorrow.
They’re better players. Playing better players will give the Rockies a better chance to win.
This kind of unilateral statement/decree doesn’t make it so.
But if god forbid anyone disagree with this statement….
well I guess I just don't see what room there is to disagree
it doesn’t say that they WILL win, it says that better player give us the better chance to win…

Thank you....that was a big part of it
that Stewart and Iannetta are better players, which I have a huge issue with. I also have an issue as to how it was stated. But I can’t disagree with Jab, as I would be trying to start an arguement, or that I would hurt his feelings (both I’ve been accused of this week)
I also have a problem with assuming that if they played the Rockies have a better chance of winning.
Now for generic better players giving a team a better chance of winning, I’d say sure, in generalities, but a team and a line up is made up with various skills and abilities, and a though to the “mix” comes into play as well. I mean I love Ichiro, but would a whole team of Ichiro’s be better than a normal team? (ok that may not be a good example, as the answer maybe yes)
Feel free to disagree with me Redhawk, just try to do it respectfully and with civility.
That’s what I objected to in the other thread—your tone—not the fact that you had an opinion contrary to mine.
As for Stewart/Iannetta, I believe they are better players against the pitching matchup we are facing. You may not agree. This is perfectly fine.
But that’s my opinion. I phrased it a little forcefully and didn’t add IMO, for which I am sorry.
Eschew Obfuscation!
So this Cliff Lee guy is pretty good.
But hey, it’s not like the Phillies have any other left-handed starters that will neutralize our lefty hitters and encourage our manager to play a lineup that hurts us offensively and defensively. We should be fine the rest of the way.
(Wait, what?)
(Cole who? JA what?)
(Sh*t.)
"You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around the whole time." - Jim Bouton
Not all left-handed starters are equal.
Lee and Hamels are different kinds of pitchers, aren’t they? I don’t think it’s automatic that we’d see the same result.
Of course not
I’m just speaking in general terms. We sort of lived up to our worst fears about this series by looking helpless against a southpaw, and for some godforsaken reason the late Garrett Atkins was in the lineup and batting fifth as if he wasn’t a rotting corpse of a baseball player. Hard to be terribly positive going forward, but at the same time, I think we’ll learn some lessons from today and be a little less aggressive against Hamels tomorrow, and that should help.

People seem to have different perceptions about what the strategy should have been.
Some think they should have been more aggressive, given Lee’s first-pitch strikes. Hard to be successful when you’re nearly always starting off in a hole.
And while I have no problem with playing Stewart instead, Atkins seems to be an easy scapegoat for this game, since people hate him to begin with, especially considering who was one guy that actually got a hit (timely or not).
him, Yorvit and Tulo

Yeah, but again, not the only one.
Easy scapegoat. A problem, sure, but hardly the only one, and certainly not as far ahead of the other problems to merit the amount of criticism for this game (for the season as a whole, okay).
I think it was Joe Sheehan at Baseball Prospectus
Who said “Garrett Atkins should not see the field unless Ian Stewart is unconscious” and I pretty much agree with that assessment. This isn’t a new emotion brought about by his failure in the first inning today, this is a feeling that’s developed watching him post an OPS that looks like a final round score for Tiger Woods in a major tournament. He’s sucked out loud for 6 months and it’s silly to expect that to change now that it’s October.

I still think the criticism for this game is out of proportion (and this is a general observation, not directed solely at you) to what happened on the field.

Regardless of how he played all season
Atkins is NOT the reason we lost today. He just isn’t.
"It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." ~W. Churchill
I don't recall saying he was.
I’m just saying his being in the lineup is emblematic of the potential pitfalls we could face in this series – struggles against southpaws, and overreaction to said struggles. I swear that makes more sense in my head than it does on the screen.

I think Stewart will start tomorrow so let's see how it goes.
"It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." ~W. Churchill
Yeah
I spent all day trying to convince myself that Atkins could redeem himself but really its a fool’s errand. He did have a nice hit but the fact is he is not ready for primetime anymore. I just wish I had more (read: any) faith in Stewart against LHP. Kinda sad that our 3b spot seems to be a black hole, never would have thought so before the season. But who knows.
The thing I like about Stewart is there's always a good chance he can hit one out

They SHOULD be confident. But there’s a difference between confident and cocky, and this seems to be the latter.

Yorvit can't be blamed for at least one of the SBs
and another I couldn’t really tell. That said, no excuses across the board. I do think its odd that the Iannetta bloc seems to think that he’d throw out every single baserunner when his numbers were hardly great this year, but whatever. Watching today has reinforced my belief that every single defensive play is magnified and we need the better defenders out there. I don’t think Yorvit’s defense was a major factor of the loss today but obviously it didn’t help and we have no margin for error anymore.
Not all the Stolen Bases were YT's fault
Ubaldo did zero to hold the runners….and what team in the NL had the most steals this year?…..the Phillies.
(not defending YT’s throwing…it sucks)
ah ok
i didn’t get to watch any of it was wondering if he held runners on well

ROCKTOBER HAS BEGUN!
by TuLoRocks2008 on Oct 7, 2009 5:08 PM MDT up reply actions
when CLIFF FREAKING LEE
was 3/4 to 2nd before Ubaldo released the ball…that’s Ubaldo’s fault. AND hair-b-there was pulling a JDLR and was flustered with the runners on, trying to figure out how much to pay attention to them, or not to.
Seems he did neither well.
Phils have been successful on 84% of stolen-base attempts in last four seasons...
That’s a terrific ratio for any one player, let alone an entire team; and even more impressive over four seasons. They have good baserunners and obviously Davey Lopes does a good job of coaching them. Utley is 23-of-23 this season.
The Rockies obviously aren’t the only team victimized by Philadelphia’s base thieves. Perhaps we’ll see if Iannnetta has more success tomorrow.
After watching today
I really don’t think it’s his arm, it looks like he takes forever to get up and get rid of the ball.
OK Cook
this is your time. I almost always forget that you missed all of the winning parts of Rocktober ’07 so its time to get your piece of the winning pie. Time to shine.
2 straight (meaningful) games of getting thoroughly handled by a very good LHP, gotta break that string tomorrow.

Listeing to the TBS announcers today
I guess with this win the Phillies advance to the World Series to play the Yankees, I gather.
So, the Rockies are shut down on the road….against a reigning Cy Young winner. And people here are blaming that on Stewart and Iannetta not playing…………………….ummmmm…..KAY
Not the reason the Rockies lost. Lee is a great pitcher. The Rockies struggle to hit anyone on the road…….put those together, and this is what you have.
Mr. K. Stewart, nor Iannetta could have saved this game. Atkins and Torrealba both had doubles today by the way, and accounted for a full 3rd of all the offense!!!! So sure, lets bench two of the 3 guys to actually get extra base hits…cause the other players didn’t pick them up.
Has this blog gone crazy?
I agree that Atkins and Yorvit played decent today
I still like Stewart and CDI, mainly because Cook is pitching.
"It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." ~W. Churchill
That is my new thought
With Cook, there will be lots of balls in play and most likely many will be hard-hit. Cook is also often a victim of crowded basepaths. I think Stew and CDI are the right calls for tomorrow, though I agree wholeheadedly with the position that losing today had nothing to do with those guys not being in the lineup.
I think I made that comment earlier

Wait, is that certain?
No Helton tomorrow? Is that because he’s still sick? If so, why play him today? Let him rest up and hope he’s better tomorrow.

Never give up, never surrender.
Yeah, Jose.
One I didn’t even know existed.
Apparently a lot of Yankees pitchers don’t like Posada and/or don’t like how he calls games. So they are going to start Molina for a game. I was thinking that was today, but now I’m thinking it might be game 2, since I think it was the one Burnett is starting.

Obviously there's some heartbreak with the loss, but
Marquis looked quality; it seemed like he was nibbling at the strike zone less. I’m really uneducated in pitching mechanics…is this a valid observation?
Yeah valid!
The only thing is that now I can’t imagine he will get a start. We basically burned him.

How many pitches did he throw?
I would think he’d still be available come game 4 if they decide they want to start him.
I believe somewhere in the neighborhood of 40
I could be totally wrong, though.
based on gameday....
all of his pitches were sinking down and low in the strike zone, creating 4 ground balls. That looks like the Marquis we want to see more of.
Does anyone think we were negatively
impacted by the early start of the game? Even Hamels made a comment that he thought it was a bad idea. He said players are used to 1 or 7.

OK, so it wasn’t my fault. Just thought I’d offer myself up as scapegoat for this one, and then we can move on to Game 2.
Rocktober is the best time of year, yes?

Since it was mentioned.
Cole Hamels
Night 10-6 ERA 3.95, WHIP 1.19, BAA .298
Day 0-6 ERA 5.44 ERA, WHIP 1.56, BAA .364
Day has 9 starts, 48 innings. Not a huge size but there’s obviously a trend. It really does sound like he’s getting in his own head about it.
He was also saying he didn't think it was fair to fans either....
but that’s definitely interesting….

Yeah
They should at least try to mix it up, though, so the same teams don’t get the early start two days in a row.
I agree but here's the problem
Today you have one game in California which can’t start early and you can’t start the Twins early after having to play game 163 last night. Tomorrow both other games are in California so there’s really nothing they could do.

Better than Hamels
Cook over his career is very consistent day and night, there doesn’t seem to be a huge spread.
Hamels on the other hand is 10-13 in the day, while being 38-21 at night for his career. His career day ERA is 1.5 higher than his night.
This is excellent news

Completely off topic
The four AL teams that scored the most runs were the Yankees, Angels, Red Sox, and Twins and all of them are in the playoffs.
The two AL teams that gave up the least runs were Seattle and the White Sox and they are playing golf.
Is that a coincidence or is pitching not as important as I think?

I think you also have to look at where the teams that did make it ranked in runs allowed.
Maybe they’re right behind the top two, so the extra runs scored made the difference.

girardi is an a^$e
I always felt he got shafted on how he left the rox (although I’m sure he’s more than happy how things have worked out) but bringing out a separate pitcher for each out in the 8th inning of a 7-2 game is bush — especially against my twinkies.

Spending more than twice as much money as half the teams in baseball
Coming up with the term “Yankee Universe”…..barf
Mentioning every great Yankee at least once during every broadcast.
Resigning A-Rod for more money after he opted out in the middle of the World Series (Those two deserve each other)
Fans claiming that only certain players are “true Yankees” whatever the hell that means.
Running a commercial for their new stadium that says “After 86 years at the same address greatness has a new home”

Girardi was responsible for his own fate in leaving Denver...
He blasted ownership for its uncaring behavior toward David Nied and his wife when their infant son was ill. As it happened, the owners were extremely helpful to the Nied family and Girardi was totally mistaken.
As I recall, he made his statement while the players were still locked out prior to the ‘95 season. Even though he had a good year and helped the Rockies to the wildcard berth, he was traded shortly after the season. His intemperate and incorrect words caused his departure. But as you say, things couldn’t have worked out better for him.
there was a lot of labor stuff there as well
he was pretty vocal during the strike

You're right...I think the Girardi was the Rockies' player rep.
His emotions got the better of him and the labor situation was definitely the backstory.
The thing I'll always about Girardi as a player is when he was playing for the Cubs
and made the announcement to the fans about the game being canceled when Darryl Kile died.

Late to the party here
since I was traveling on business today, recorded the game & just watched it.
I didn’t look back through the game thread, but did glance at this post-game thread.
Didn’t see much discussion of how bad Hawpe was .. defensively & offensively (failed to move runner to 3rd w/ none out early in the game\). He was helpless against the lefty & adds nothing on defense.
Spilly tomorrow? Smith? Hawpe shouldn’t start against a LH the rest of the series.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
Hawpe had one error, but no more so than CarGo and Dex
but true enough he was not productive at the plate, as was most of the team, save Atty, Torrey, and Tulo

True
but both Cargo :& Dex’s were tough plays inj the wind
Hawpe’s was a fundamental mistake of not stopping a single off the ground.
And he was up to his “take a pitch” strategy again on a pitcher who was throwing strikes all day.
He didn’t belong in the game. And I have frankly thought for awhile that with all the good young outfielders, he’s very expendable this off-season, if the Rox can get anything for him.

Well you'll never convince me of that..

We have good outfield depth
and Hawpe is the definition of a streaky hitter… Let’s just hope he gets/stays on a hot streak now and talk about other plans after the season.

Hawpe should be moved
It’ll be a talent issue, making room for better players, who are incidentally cheaper.

Everyone was too busy beating up Atkins
Who actually didn’t do too bad. Hawpe had some issues, especially how he played that short hop! But he also made some nice catches in the wind. I stay with him through the series. I think he will get hits, esp. if the lefty starter doesn’t go 9 innings
"It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." ~W. Churchill
I haven't seen that play since I was listening, but was it catchable?
If not, that run would have scored anyway, right? Though it did get the guy to second.
Yes it would have scored anyway...but he did misplay
He probably should have short hopped it, but tried to make the scooping catch and it got by him

It was not catchable by Hawpe
but he really could have played it better, and it broke the seal
"It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." ~W. Churchill
He didn't get around & behind the ball to make sure it didn't get past him
Tried to snatch it mid-stride, off to the side.
Looked like a Little Leaguer — and not to Chula Vista’s level, SD Cat.
He caught some routine flies that the wind made tricky, but so did other outfielders. He gets no special points for those.
He’s an OK player over the course of a season, but I don’t see hiim improving much from here on out & don’t think in 2 years he’ll be on Cargo’s or Dex’s level. And Smith can supply as much or or LH power.
No records in the last 10 years should count.

Not his overall performance, but that play
it was misplayed, and it was a hard line drive, so I doubt the wind got it too much. He won’t get benched. I would assume we get the same outfield tomorrow.

hawpe is the elephant in the room
My op is Hawpe needs to play to determine whether the team keeps or trades him next year…
I can't decide whether I'm hungry or just really tired.
I'd agree during the regular season
but not post-season, and not down 1 in a 5-game series
The Rockies have seen enough of him by now to know what they’ve got: a sub-par defensive outfielder, streaky hitter with some power. Overall, a very inconsistent player.
I don’t think what he does in however many playoff games are left will change the analysis.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
on flyballs, yes
but that was low liner & seeing it wasn’t the problem
No records in the last 10 years should count.
They might look at his pre All Star playing
as well in that analysis…..

Wow, THE WORST coverage of the Dodger game. Some cameras didn’t work, the broadcast was lagging, Bob Brenly’s bad jokes, Dick Stockton being Dick Stockton… It was a mess.
Too bad the Rockies game was not this exciting
Coors Field is sure to change that, with the two most slugging teams in the National League. I am looking forward to it.
It was for the first 4.5 innings

My love of baseball came from my grandfather
He was a great ballplayer in his day an was actually drated by the White Sox but never played because of a heart condition. Anyway he was a huge Red Sox and Ted Williams supportor. He always talked about how great the 1941 season was with Joe D’s 56 game hitting streak and Williams hitting 406. So when I was little and I only saw local games I was a Red Sox fan.
As you might imagine part of being a Red Sox baseball fan is hating the Yankees. As my disdain for them grew and grew in the late 90’s I started to realize something; I hated the Yankees more than I liked the Red Sox. This was confirmed after the 01 World Series. I still remained a Red Sox fan but as thier payroll got higher I started to see them as a mini version of the Yankees.
So I started to search for a team to root for in the NL for a couple of reasons. 1. I liked their rules better (No DH). 2 They would never play the Red Sox.
I liked Coors field, I liked the fact that Colorado fans supported their team without being obnoxious (attendance records set in the mid 90’s) and I liked that I could see almost all of their history in my life.
At first I never intended to hate the Red Sox but as time passed I became more and more attached to the Rockies and more and more pissed off at Red Sox fans. (This really happed after they won in 04, fans sttarted to act like they had owned the world forever)
By 2006 they came out with this reality show called Sox appeal that was a dating game at Fenway park that they aired between games and the postgame show. That sent me over the edge.
I didn’t hate the Red Sox until the 2007 world series when a fan base that claims to be the best in the world couldn’t name 5 people n the Rockies roster. They were just so arrogant.
Anyway that’s the short version. I like a team that brings up its own players. I know there are some examples where the Rockies have not doen that but I love this team.

It’s especially helpful for the bullpen, I think, which is basically a revolving door season to season.

Very true. I've only been to Denver 3 times
But I love the city, and I love this team. If Denver had had a Yankees-sized team, would I have started supporting them? I doubt it – in the UK I support a team in the 5th level (low-A equivalent, I guess) who were in the NINTH level a few seasons ago (before that they were in the 1st/2nd level – it’s a long and tedious story, but if you’re interested wikipedia “AFC Wimbledon”) and I love the feeling of community, respect and a complete lack of entitled bullsh!t you get with a smaller team.

Aww I just read a quote from Ubaldo...
I feel bad for him…in some ways, he’s still such a kid…
“This is hard to take. I thought I would do better,” said Jimenez after getting tagged for five runs in five innings. “I just lost it.”

for a relatively low scoring game in the 8th inning that is absurd

Kidding aside...
I personally take making the postseason as a successful season as a whole. Whatever noise we can make in the NLDS and beyond is just gravy to me.
I’m proud of this team.
That said, now let’s go kick their a$$es in Game 2.
