Game #57: Jason Marquis vs. Brad Thompson
Colorado Rockies at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 8, 2009 12:15 PM MDT
My reverse psychology has worked so far. After touting St. Louis as the division leaders and one of the better rotations in the league, we promptly outscore them 28-7 in the first three games. Nice...
What is most impressive about the four game winning streak we are on now is the four pitchers we have put out there. Before the streak, the Rockies were just 11-28 in games started by Aaron Cook, Jorge de la Rosa, Ubaldo Jimenez and Jason Hammel.
So now we go for the rotation sweep with our winningest pitcher. Jason Marquis has figured into every decision so far this season, indicative of a pitcher with polarizing performances. In fact he only has one ESPN game score between 35 and 58. He has a chance to stand alone as the NL's sole 8-game winner after today.
And you know, pull within two games of Roy Halladay. Marquis for Cy Young!
vs.
This is Thompson's second start of the season. He allowed two runs in five innings against Cincy.
As for the lineup...well, that's exactly how I would have constructed it.

I'm liking that lineup. Once Doom gets back tomorrow and inserted into the catcher's spot, that should be our pre-trade deadline lineup everyday.
With Doom the batting order would probably be tweaked a bit, possibly batting Chris 6th, Carlos 7th and Tulo 8th. But overall, a very good looking lineup.

we have out scored them 28-7 but it would be nice to make that 38-7 today…it is 38-10 last 4 games.

What's weirder is that they're not identical.
I’m wondering if maybe one published while you were still editing it or something.
I think the second one was an older saved version
They default to post at first pitch, but we put them up about an hour before gametime.

what is the breaking ball
this guy is throwing? It breaks slowly like a curve, but seems a bit faster…but not really a slider. Looks like a meatball.
ok, just read that, and I realize it makes no sense.
But the idea is, the guy is throwing a really slow pitch that breaks slowly.
That breaking pitch
Is called a Gopher Ball. :)

Still need to trade Hawpe/Marguis and throw in Atkins to anyone that will take him.
How often
have the Rockies accomplished a 24-12 run? I would like to see them do that, but just by eyeballing it (looking at monthly records), I only see the end of 2007 (including the NLDS and NLCS).
thats why i said
iff ifff iff they continue to show improvement then they can make it back to .500 or close to it by the AS break

Bring back Matt Holliday

Matty. back in Denver. hmm.
Wouldn’t be against it, but it’s defenitely not neccasary. Especially with the fact we already have an overflow of outfield.
