Yorvit Torrealba blasts Rockies into NLDS tie, Rockies beat Phillies 5-4

in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintColorado scored a first inning run from Carlos Gonzalez, later got a two run home run from Yorvit Torrealba and an effective pitching performance from Aaron Cook and several relievers to defeat the Phillies 5-4 on Thursday and even their NLDS series at one game apiece as the teams now head to Denver and Coors Field for games three and four.
Cook pitched brilliantly before running into trouble in the sixth inning, when the Phillies wound up scoring three of their four runs. Jose Contreras was called on to get out of the inning, eventually inducing an inning double play from Carlos Ruiz to put a stop to the rally. Matt Belisle pitched a scoreless seventh, but Rockies killer Jayson Werth hit a solo home run off of Rafael Betancourt with two outs in the eighth to pull the Phillies back within one run. Franklin Morales finished the inning before giving way to Huston Street who required a little drama, walking Matt Stairs and allowing a two out single to Jimmy Rollins before recording the save.
Dexter Fowler drove in two runs, both with sacrifice flies including the eventual game winner in the top of the seventh inning after the Rockies loaded the bases with none out.
WOOT!!! HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE NOW, MONKEYS!!!

I've just watched the bottom of the ninth whilst in bed (it's 11:30 p.m. here)
and my gf told me to get out after i threw the blankets everywhere when we got the 27th out, but I’m too pumped to sleep just now anyway

I agree
we’re better against righties, and Pedro’s pitches might get messed up at Coors
thats what I was thinking
Pedro can be dominant though
It is
Pedro hated it in Boston when it went below 55. He might need an afghan to pitch Saturday.

That's crazy.
I’d be pretty bent if I were a phils fan, when you’ve got an arm like Happ to use.
we will crush Pedro. Bank on it.
I was referring to the fact that they even used him today...
Clearly, Manual made the choice to use Pedro before today, and that’s why he used happ. My point: he shouldn’t have used Happ today at all. That he got injured just makes it worse.

It might sound crazy but I agree with the decision to play happ today. This really was a must win for philly and they had to do everything to get the win. Not to say the Rockies have it in the bag or even close, but things are difficult for philly now

Don't be surprised if the Rockies are in the late time slot again on Sunday.
With games in Boston, Minneapolis, possibly St. Louis, and Denver on Sunday, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is a 7:37pm or 8:07pm start. It’s almost a certainty that the ALDS games would get the better time slots, that would leave 11am or 8pm. And since the Rockies are already at 7:37pm Saturday, I would not expect MLB and TBS to force the Rockies and Phillies make a quick turnaround to 11am the next morning. My best bet is likely 7:37pm or 8:07pm. They’ll probably announce it if STL wins game 2 today.
Sunday's tricky because unless the Dodgers sweep there will be 4 games.
It’s gonna be tough to spread that out

In years past, they would stack the 4-game order at 11am, 2pm, 5pm, and 8pm, especially when ESPN TV did the postseason.
But since TBS took over, they were trying to stick closer to the 3 1/2 hour grid. If I remember the last couple of years, they stuck a 11am MT game on TNT, then three TBS games at 1pm, 4:30pm, and 8pm MT. The Yankees will be in the 4:30pm game, then they will likely split up LAA/BOS and LAD/STL into the early time slots, with the “late game” in Denver. Let’s see what happens.
I don't know
I think they would rather have a night setting at Fenway Park than the Metrodome

by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Oct 8, 2009 5:47 PM MDT up reply actions
National TV audience pecking order, from what I've noticed
1) NYY
2) LAD
3) BOS
4) LAA
That’s probably why STL/LAD is on now in primetime, followed by BOS/LAA Game 1 at 7:37pm MT.
I think the Dodgers are on now because they need to get on a plane after the game

Then again, the Red Sox/Angels game are in the 7:37pm time slot in Anaheim Friday night, but could be in the 11am (or 1pm) time slot in Boston.
The Dodgers won’t have to travel all of the way to the east coast.
It could go either way

I'm sure this was mentioned in the game thread, but my TV and computer are on different floors.
My gems from the announcers:
Surprise that Barmes swung at two bad pitches. (We keep him for the 27th out.)
Belisle- part of the revamped bullpen under Tracy. (At the end maybe, but originally he was part of the problem.)
And I think I strained my calf muscle jumping for joy on the final out.
Just wait till we get to Buck and McCarver
“The Rockies really enjoy playing at Mile High Stadium.”
“And coming around to score iiiiiiiiissssssss…. (pause as Buck looks at the number and then checks his roster) Garrett Atkins, #27, third baseman.”
“And there’s a line-out to shortstop Troy Tullowutskee.”

I think the problem kind of starts with....
TV broadcasting is modeled on radio broadcasting, so they have to talk all the time. It has never dawned on them that with the picture, they don’t have to talk constantly. Go to a game with your friend, and describe the action at all times. See how long before he pops you in the mouth.
With the constant talk, you up your chances of saying something dumb. Everyone here would do it. So it’s a difficult job made more difficult by the fact that no one has ever said “eh, they can see what’s going on.”

Oh, I'd also like to mention
one day, we’ll all be telling our grandkids about how we saw a game that featured Todd Helton, Jason Giambi, and Matt Stairs – it was the grizzliest game of all time.
