PrintColorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants, May 1, 2009 8:15 PM MDT
In what could be an epic pitching duel, the wily veteran--45 year old Randy Johnson--goes for career win 297 against the new gunslinger in town, 25 year old fireballer Ubaldo Jimenez. With rain in the forecast for San Francisco tonight, we could get a washout, or if not, a game played in cold wet conditions--Ubaldo's favorite, we all know.
Ubaldo tries to reverse his poor start (1-3, 7.58 ERA) tonight at AT&T. Something tells me that the punchless Giants lineup is just what the doctor ordered.
You won't like Randy Johnson when he's angry! Johnson is just 1-2 with a 6.16 ERA this season, and he can't be pleased. Look for him to take out his frustration on the Rockies.
Here are the lineups for tonight:
And no, you eyes do not deceive you Rowbots. Brad Hawpe is not in the lineup tonight against Randy Johnson. He will be replaced by Matt Murton.
GO ROCKIES!

I’m looking out my window and it’s raining right now, but from the radar, hopefully it is on its way out.
Assuming the game gets played, I will be about 25 rows up on the 1st base side of home plate. Woo!
Murton starts YAY

I was mostly concerned with Dex starting
since I won’t get that many chances to see him in person this season, and I really, really want to. So yay, Dex!

My heart is killing me already from the Red Wing game…i don’t know if i can take a close game tonight

I’ll be in and out tonight, but (hopefully) watching. You Rowbots behave yourselves. ;-)

Wet, cold weather
Let’s hope Ubaldo doesn’t have a repeat of his Chicago start earlier this season. He really needs to get back on track, and there’s no better time to start then now.
Bored waiting for the game to start

Anyone else having MLBTV issues?
Unable to connect to the live broadcasts… all the archived ones work fine…
Yes.
Today’s problem is an error message upon attempting to log in. “An Error has Occurred…”
I can log in fine... it just gives me the error when I try to watch a live feed.
That includes the radio broadcasts. Eeek.

Their gun exaggerates.
That’s why SF fans think all their pitchers throw harder than they actually do.
I saw only one FB of his in the 80's, and his slider,
Everything else has been low 90’s, topping out at 94.
Putting Sandoval and Molina back to back
is like putting two roadblocks on the highway, according to Frazier.

Jimenez looks so much better at the plate this season

?
well it is his rookies season
and hasnt seen a whole lot of these pitchers, so he trying to play by instinct.
umm
he gets on base at a .366 clip, which isn’t band and certainly better than other options and a lot better than what we had last year
he isn't in the top 45 of the national league in OBP, Spilly should be hitting leadoff
I would just like to see him have a bit more discipline in the leadoff spot. Take some pitches, put some balls on the ground.
Spils OBP = .370, DEx OBP = .366
Dex leads NL in SBs….so Dex is the better leadoff man right now, let alone in the future

I'm sure I'm exaterating
but has anyone ever remembered in the first game of a road trip where the Rockies didn’t make the other pitcher look like a Hall of Famer? (in this case the guy will be one…but that’s not the question)
There is something about going on the road and adjustment from Coors Field that has always been an issue.

On a side note...
Randy Johnson threw his perfect game at the age of 40 years, 256 days, becoming, by more than three-and-a-half years, the oldest pitcher to achieve the feat. The former holder of the mark, Cy Young, threw his at the age of 37 years, 37 days. Of the 17 teams to have a perfecto thrown against them, the 2004 Braves had the second-highest OBP (.343) and second-highest winning percentage (.593). In contrast, the Diamondbacks had by far the worst season winning percentage (.315) of any team to benefit from a perfect game.
And, wow..... .315??
I know we sucked that year, but…. damn. .315.

RMN....I have a topic for you to work on
What is the Rockies history for hitting/scoring runs in the first game of a road trip/? Over the history of their team. How does that compare to other teams. Has that changed since the Humidor? Does it get better over the series goes along?
We'll see

um...call it a bad feeling
and it doesn’t have to be now, at all.
I’m really starting to think there is something beyond normal for the Rockies going on the road. and it’s not this group of players or Hurdle’s fault. They just don’t hit. I mean they are the only team I make sure NEVER, EVER, NEVER play in my fantasy teams when they are on the road for my fantasy team, and have been for YEARS. If I get a Rockie player…I always get a back up player.
Is this just my perception of being too close to the team? or is there something really there?
Well there is a noted "Coors Field Hangover"
that used ot be pretty noteworthy back in the PreHumidor days.
It’s a combination of LOLCORZFIELD and just the effects that altitude has on players. Typically, you want to disregard (or at least take with a massive grain of salt) the numbers the first day or two after leaving Coors Field because of the havoc it wreaks with offensive abilities.
So I’m gonna go ahead and not do it ;), but to answer the basic question, yes, the first game or two on the road trip, the offense is typically flat.

Just got back from a bar
Watched the game, kind of tipsy so excuse me….. When does this get better? Rockies’ experts give me some reason for optimism please! We can’t hit a 45 year old Randy Johnson or whatever his age is? Isn’t his ERA +5? Why do the Rockies continuously under perform like it’s their job description? 8-13 is unacceptable regardless of how many road games we have played or how many good teams we have played. Truly good teams play well regardless of circumstances. I know it’s early but I am getting sick of how predictable this team is becoming. The Giants are not a contender. Their lineup is terrible based on what I’ve seen. Gimme a break Rockies. Start playing some baseball, please.
