Don't look now, but with a strong start today, Jason Hammel will become the Rockies' third starting pitcher with an ERA below 4.00. 2008 was the only season we finished with more than one. Also, if we win tonight, that will be 15 of 16. I believe that will be the best 16 game streak in franchise history in one season. We won 15 of 16 regular season games covering the last 15 of 2007 and Opening Day in 2008.
Morton came in the Nate McLouth trade. This will be his second start of the season, his first since June 10 at Atlanta, where he lasted just one inning before leaving with a hamstring injury. He was abysmal with Atlanta last year, going 4-8 with a 6.15 ERA but had pitched very well in AAA this season before his callup and injury. Morton is your typical four pitch pitcher, throwing a fastball (90-93), slider (80-84), curveball (~75) and changeup (80-83). He has suffered from control issues his entire career in the minors and majors except this season in AAA. Maybe we can coax out old demons.
Hammel is 3-0 with a 2.45 ERA in June, and the Rockies have won his last five starts.
Jim Tracy goes with the same lineup as last night:

Nobody has proven to me yet that consistent lineups play better baseball.
by Greg Stanwood on Jun 20, 2009 5:16 PM MDT up reply actions
regardless...I'm a fan of consistency
and getting consistent ABs for those performing is always a plus
http://www.flickr.com/photos/thewrightshot/
That is certainly a plus.
I’m just not going to believe that there is a correlation between # of lineups used and winning percentage until I see it.

Wind blowing Southeast, large array of rain to the Northwest
Could be a while, especially seeing as the rain hasn’t even gotten here yet.
If the wind changes direction, that could change. The precipitation activity looks large, but not serious.

Hopefully there will be a nice crowd tonight
FYI, we are 13th overall in average park attendance. Not too bad. Should be going up in the next few weeks.
2nd FYI, just to kill the time before the game starts, my brewery is starting to expand. I’ll be making a mead in the next few days (fermented honey, also known as the nectar of the gods)
Most Excellent.
Can we have another Rowbot Meetup when the Mead’s ready? I would love to try some.
Well then,
There’s always winter league baseball in Mexico or somewhere :)
never had it.....is there a good commercially available mead?
by TulsaDriller on Jun 20, 2009 6:11 PM MDT up reply actions
There is a meadery in Boulder
called Redstone Meadery. They are pretty good. Not sure where you can get it though.
If you're local, you should go
The tour’s pretty interesting.

I will if I'm ever in Boulder
Doesn’t happen much though. I had one of their meads while I was in Tucson. It was incredible. Very close to a fine wine.
Awesome on both FYI's!:)

Hynick for JDLR
Maybe it’s premature, maybe JDLR is a better pitcher than he is right now but if find ourselves legally in a pennant race than perhaps we should trade or bench him in for Hynick from Colorado Springs or Josh Fogg.
JDLR just doesn’t seem to be able to get out of the big innings…and that is killing the Rockies.
Thoughts ,comments? Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
DLR is starting tomorrow...
… and after that, we won’t need a fifth starter until July 1 against the Dodgers. Even if DLR blows tomorrow’s start, it may be a while before we learn if a change will be made in the rotation.

I guess they are good for
crazy biased, republican worshiping, Bush crushing, Obama hating, and the occasional ridiculous soft new story. I’ll give them that.
How many hours of news have you actually watched on Fox?
They are indeed a conservative station, but I feel people should get news from all sides of the spectrum, rather than just ignore part of it.
No ideology has the whole picture. You can only get it if you experience them all.
by Greg Stanwood on Jun 20, 2009 6:25 PM MDT up reply actions
Please
Their coverage of Obama’s inauguration was mostly just Bush flying to Texas. Before Bama took over, they condoned any anti war protest, in fact, any protest in any form was evil to them. But they sure did love the tea part protest stuff.
I’ll watch something that isn’t so overly biased.
I believe your own bias exaggerates the bias of other things.
It’s called the “hostile media effect”, and most news viewers are subject to it.

Because they got the tarp on the ground before the rain began, cleanup shouldn't be too much of a delay either.

Radar would indicate the rain is still coming down there, so probably not.

how long is Tracy going to strick this guy. He can’t seem to hit a MLB Pitcher
He's being incredibly unlucky
He’s hitting line drives nearlt one third of the time, yet is only hitting .231 on batted balls. That’s ridiculously unlucky. If his BABip were league average , he’d be hitting about .300 right now

He gave up two hits
One was clobbered but inches from being an out. And Morgan would have been out if the IF wasn’t drawn in. He’s been solid this year. I won’t give up on him.

Tough call there...

Yeah...
I would have definately pulled him after the two guys were on though. Perfectly setup for Flores and Daley…I believe it would have been a different outcome.
