PrintSan Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies, May 7, 2009 1:10 PM MDT
Giants fans are still operating under the assumption that they're the NL West team most likely to represent a threat to the Dodgers this season. They certainly seem to be getting the most Schadenfreude from the Manny Ramirez suspension, the McCoven has blown up with glee at the news.
Time to teach them not to look ahead to their three game set with the Dodgers this weekend until they've finished their work in Colorado today? I think so.
Go Rockies!

Should be a low scoring one
Whatever that means. Let’s keep Cain at no run support.
Somebody should make a comic called "Tulowitzki the Combat Shortstop". I'd read it.

I'm glad to see Atkins not playing today
1) no big black holes in the lineup
2)maybe a “working day” can help him out.
I feel a series win coming on!
They've all been low scoring ones latety
Um, except for last night’s taco-fest.

I'm set up either way today
I own Cain, so offensive ineptitude from the Rockies would be less painful. I’m hoping for a less than three inning start, though.
I'll be at work
and only able to watch gameday.
Please win!
These are the same core group of men that went 21 - 1 to win the NL pennant. Never, ever, ever believe that MY TEAM is out of it.

GameDay still hasn't been activated for the game.
MLB.com too busy trying to deal with Manny news I guess.

I know I should be upset with another big name getting named...
But I don’t care. This is just what the Rockies need — a chance. Hopefully the Dodgers become more inept.
I got nothing.
I'm not upset in the slightest.
I don’t care if Manny was covering for roids, is legitimately infertile, or was taking the hormone because it made him travel back in time. He’s gone from the Dodgers, therefore, I am happy.

I thought I was going to have a meeting this afternoon and miss part of the game.
But it turns out I had the time wrong and it was this morning, so I’ve been there and back and am free! Yay!
I moved stuff off of today
on to to marrow
I thought I’d go to the game…but not enough time. But I can watch it on TV
Gawrsh....
I can see the scoreboard from my office, but am too busy to take time off to go….probably won’t even be able to follow thread much

Well, to be honest, I have to walk about 25 feet down the hall
My own office faces more north, but the conference room faces right towards Coors.
Eight blocks away, 35 floors up.

My dad's office is literally right across the street.
He rarely goes, but then he’s much more like a Denver Post commenter when it comes to baseball.
But he does like being able to park in his garage when he does go.
Yay for no finals today :)

Juan Uribe starting for the Giants on getaway day.
Add in some Rich Aurillia, and the bottom of that lineup is looking sad even for a Giants team.
I'm still all for trying to resign the Marquis de Sade
Preferably if we can get him to sign at 8m per for three…he’s done more than everything we’ve asked of him.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I'll gladly resign him if he keeps this up all year.
But if he winds up average and expensive, then probably not. It will also depend on how our AAA gang continues to develop,
by Greg Stanwood on May 7, 2009 1:16 PM MDT up reply actions
Of course it does.
If Marquis isn’t going to sign fro something we can afford, it matters indefinitely.
by Greg Stanwood on May 7, 2009 1:19 PM MDT up reply actions
Not necessarily suggesting he WON'T...
… but he’s an expensive player.
by Greg Stanwood on May 7, 2009 1:20 PM MDT up reply actions
True, but...
If he ends the year as our best performing pitcher, then we absolutely need to (unless by “best”, he’s ends up a 5 ERA 1.2:1 K/BB ratio, bad GB/FB ratio, etc….but is still our best)
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Not to say I'm totally aclimated to Colorado BUT
It’s hot today (and it’s in the low/mid 80s)
people back in Oklahoma think I’m a total whimp
Remember all those articles back in Spring
when Marquis was ‘struggling’ about him being the 3rd starter in name only? actually might still be true cause he’s bee the closest thing to a stopper/ace we have so far.

That's so awesome...
You’re going on a 5 day trip to Italy and you’re excited about watching the Rockies play.
Lake Garda and Lake Orta
Never been before – my dad’s from Venice so I’ve been loads but never to the lakes. The exchange rate is :O though – my gf got 1.05 Euro per pound, wtf.
I love the Rockies, Coolopotamous :) I was wearing my Rockies t-shirt (imported at huge cost via eBay) to work today! I even got complimented on it!
Where are you now?
Somewhere in europe is all I got…
Yeah, the exchange rate is wonderful right now
And make sure to bring your Rockies shirt with you for pictures. I have pictures of me at the Forum and kissing the Blarney Stone wearing mine!

And the Rockies shirt is now in the wash – and I’m not doing a wash before I head off :(

Cain was so wild
that the Rockies (not exactly consistent hitters) were actually looking off balance.
effectively wild?
Marquis could get throw 3 Innings and throw less pitches then that

It's nice to know we're so predictable. Saves me a lot of time.
Now I can just slack off the rest of the afternoon.
BEAT THE GIANTS!
That is all. Adios.
"Besides, this is freaking 2009.... WHERE THE HELL IS MY DAMNED FLYING CAR??"

Only thing helping Cain is the walks…no one can put bat on ball yet. Jason will be okay, though he may give up a 4 spot today, who knows…

Good thing
we practiced fundamentals. Stewart needs to head back to Tucson to work on that whole “catching” thing. At least 2 runs off the error so far. Horrible. Finding new and interesting ways to lose.
Come on Rockies!!!
I wonder why the Giants are so motivated today
"Chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is 10, or something."
- Dennis Rodman
Stewart
Are we still convinced that Stewart is the future??? Hasn’t prooven he can adjust when major league pitchers adjust to him and now he is prooving that his huge number of errors in the minors are not a fluke…..Just wondering… I have never been a huge Stewart fan. This inning should be over and boom homer to ut it away.
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
They gave the error to Marquis
I don’t care, Stewart should have made the play
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
Ridiculous
Marquis made the throw, it was catchable. Stewart’s fault.
no not convinced
but he is still young, and hasn’t had the chance to start enough to learn/adjust to the major league pitching.
He has Upside potential still…..
Jury is still out
Stewart is 24 years old.
Your statements could be applied equally to most young players, some who will prove valuable to their teams, some who will not, I guess what I’m saying is that I would like to know more on why you feel Stewart would fall into the latter category, what you have to back this feeling up.
I am by no mean saying he will be of no value. I acutally do hope he can get it together because his potential upside is greater that Atkins. However, he was with the Rockies for about half the year and with the Sky Sox for about half the year in 2008. He lead both teams in errors. Also last year he started out hitting very well. Then he could not adjust when “the book” was out on him until the very end of the year. Now it seems like he is again not able to adjust. Yes he has a lot of potential and it would be nice to see how he develops. However, I believe it was you (Rox Girl) who told me during spring training when I was talking about Koshanski that guys at this level have to perform. They do not have the luxary of developing at this level. (That was not the quote, but it was something to that point).
I will admint I may be overly focused on fundamental defense and his history of errors probably does taint him in my eyes, but his offense has not been enough to turn me as of yet. When he puts the barrel on it he can flat crack it, but he needs to improve with the bat and in the field before I will be sold on him.
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
I found the comment that I was referring to regarding Koshansky
To your other point, the problem with giving a guy like Koshansky too much of an extended opportunity is that you risk letting yourself slide into too deep a hole too early if he falters. The Rockies first goal should be to use the resources they have to win the division and make the playoffs, and given that they have an opportunity to do that (at least on paper) they should focus on it while it’s still available. That means starting the more sure, reliable players and giving less certain guys like Koshansky more limited opportunities to show they too could be reliable. Once the team has clearly shown itself to be out of the race, then you could start looking to give guys more extended tryouts.
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
oops hit post to quick
http://www.purplerow.com/2009/1/7/713494/atkins-or-stewart-at-3rd
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
No doubt.
He has potential to be a very good fielder at third, that’s what the range fielding numbers like UZR tell us in the number of plays he gets to compared to Atkins. Boneheaded blunders like that missed catch and other errors tell us that he’s not there yet and that his bat has to make up for that value until he is. Right now, it’s not. That’s the point blank end of the discussion of where we are at the present. He is not adding value to the team and you don’t want to give him too much PT as long as there’s a chance the team’s still in a playoff hunt. Asking if he’s “the future”, however, has to consider that range that he shows, his ability to make more plays, and the potential his bat has and the likelihood he is to hit it.
I don’t know if I’ve seen any evidence that he has a greater deficiency in making adjustments than any other player given his sporadic playing time. If the Rockies slip further out, Atkins probably gets dealt and Stewart will start. We’ll be able to get a more extended look then and should know by the end of the season, with the amount of opportunity he’s being given, we may know by the end of the year anyway. Right now, though, it’s just still not enough evidence either way. Koshansky didn’t have the same sort of bench utility that Ian does, being able to play just one position, it definitely limited the way the MLB team would be able to use him. And of course, he wasn’t make the necessary adjustments to his swing either, and he is three years older than Stewart.
Things like UZR that tell us that he can get to more ball than Atkins are deceptive in my opinion. OK fine, he gets to more balls. But what good does that do if he throws it in the dougout and the runner takes second. If he has way to many errors in the minors what makes you think he will get any better with the big club? Defense does not take as much adjustment at the big league level as hitting does.
I am not saying that Steawart is a bad player. I am not even saying that he won’t be great at some point. However, over and over and over I see multiple outlets (including puplerow) get all hacked off when the starting lineup comes out and Ian is not out there. Why put him in there when he is not getting it done right now for whatever reason. In my opinion he has to produce when he gets the chance then he will get more chances, not the other way around.
I do agree with you that we probably will not know for sure until he gets to play everyday. However, in order to do that the Rockies are going to have to be out of it (or an injury). This early in the season, with the way the back of the schedule shakes out and the fact that the Dodgers just lost Manny for 50 games I am not ready to call it a season so hopfully we won’t know any time soon.
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
By the way
I really did not want to get tangled up and cross with Rox Girl…I know when I am out classed!!!!
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
What's more damaging?
A player that makes 30 errors while getting to 530 balls hit in their area of defensive coverage, or a player that makes just 15 errors but only gets to 450 balls hit to their area given the same exact opportunity? The first player makes 15 more visible mistakes, and that’s what you’re focusing on, while ignoring the 80 invisible mistakes that the other player is making because they’re just too slow to cover the area they are responsible for. Try watching Atkins chasing down pop fouls. If a ball is hit at him, his hands are soft, we just can’t expect him to move very far.

Nice AB Tulo
Um, not so much.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Giants announcers are mocking him:
“Put that in the scouting report: Tulo – can’t hit a hanging curveball.”
certainly not one
over the letters and inside. perhaps the better approach is to not try to hit that.
Any thought
Tulo might need contacts or something? That pitch was closer to his neck than the bat.
I'm about to give up on this one...
especially when the offense is flailing like this.
I got nothing.
this team just flat out sucks
it’s ridiculous how inconsistent they are and how when they get down more than 3 runs they NEVER rally n just give up it seems.

But I’ve felt all along that the roster is not good enough to compete for the playoffs and they seem to prove me right pretty regularly. Not sure what to do about it though, which I guess puts me at the same place as DOD and CH.

The soundtrack was excellent, I thought
The movie was really good BUT, and it’s a big but (look, it’s in capital letters and everything), I found the storytelling device – conversation with police dude leads to flashback – really clumsy and frustrating. Like watching a live action, big budget version of Family Guy*

those that thought he was washed up…he should have added that he was one of those, and say he was wrong and glad of being wrong…..but he didn’t
LOL
You have a habit of popping into game threads only to say something negative about a player or the manager.
It’s like drive-by negativity.
It's kind of fun from my end.
If the Rockies are winning big, I know certain users will be very active and others very quiet, but when we’re getting hammered, the opposite is true. I sort of make bets with myself when each will come in to say something. Which reminds me, where is PHLP? I thought for sure he’d be here by now.
That's interesting
I wonder how I “act”. I THINK that I am probably more “active” when the Rox are losing because I’m bored? That make sense?

Steroids
if steroids are as performance-enhancing as the media makes them out to be, why wouldn’t players still take them?
nice throwing error for Barmes
he was so messed up to start with. (I assume it’s not an error as you can never assume the DP)
Barmy reinforces the assumption that there might not be a DP

Define performance....
According to RotoWorld it was due to another type of “performance”…….

Rockies are losing
and no one has said “Hurdle should be fired if this keeps up” ????
Hurdle should be fired if this keeps up…..there
Whew! Way to cover our bases...
They could revoke my blogging license if stuff like that isn’t included in losing threads.
if I truly believed that this game was Hurdle's fault..
I would say something. This game is just more proof that professional athletes are no more human than any of us

More than human at the plate...
less than human in left field

Heh...
hard to blame Hurdle for the offense wasting five walks from Cain
Sure it is
when he says, “get a hit, and drive them in” the players don’t do it…it’s the way Hurdle says it
who is Pedro Sandoval?
KOA just said Pedro…the suckitude of this game is rubbing off on our announcers

he's actually pretty good.

Dexter Fowler, not helping today.
Inconsistency and young teams seem to go hand in hand. I guess it beats being consistently mediocre but old.
holy crap
I’ve watched a lot baseball…and stuff like that baffles me…when things are going bad, you get robbed like that
Alright, so apparently the Rockies want this win to be especially dramatic.
Either that or they’re proving once again that "R"ally is no longer in the Gen R lexicon.
1-13 when the other team scores first
and we aren’t talking "lead after 7 innings)….we’re talking just scoring 1st.
The Rockies still take the aggregate scoring title over the Giants in this series...
advancing to the next round in the two leg system.

PR Academy will be up later tonight or tomorrow...
I had two finals today and am a little burned out right now, so it could be a little later than usual.
Eschew Obfuscation!
If you want to put it off until tomorrow, that would be fine,
We could do the new PuRPs poll tonight, and people are still talking about that Los Angeles scrub that was busted for PED’s.
Sounds good...
I’ll probably write most of it tonight and edit tomorrow morning.
Eschew Obfuscation!
This is an overall poorly-played ballgame, all three facets of the game.
Move on, says I, move on.

Is this the point in a losing game
where some one points out that _________________ should be playing, and Hurdle sucks?

He probably should be starting more, in seriousness. Can we have four outfielders with 5-6 starts a week?

Sorry for not being here today
I turn on the TV and Stew hits a 2 run HR on the first pitch. Clearly I should have ditched to be here

Too late?
Don’t think we can score 5 without making an out? Oh wait, Barmes is up
