The Rockies squandered their opportunity to sweep the Padres by letting the mighty Kevin Correia maim the offense, but regardless of the opponent, winning three out of four on the road is never bad. The Rox can take the WC lead with a win - if the Pirates sweep the Giants today. Interesting pitching matchup today - an All-Star vs a young, grass green rookie:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 - Mat Latos | 8-1 | 1.37 | 0.75 | 73 | 12 |
Mat Latos is listed by Baseball America as the Padres' #2 prospect behind Kyle Blanks, who is already on the MLB roster. He is not in BA's top 50 (Blanks in 47), but he has the best fastball of their organizational prospects, sitting around 95 with the ability to hit 98. He's a big strikeout pitcher with good control. Ben Davey at Friar Forecast had a scouting report on the youngster last month, essentially saying his fastball is his crutch, but his changeup is good enough to keep hitters off balance, and his slider is still developing. BA projects him as the Padres' #3 starter behind Peavy and Young and earned the spot as the #1 hottest prospect by BA the first week of June.
When he was acquired in 2006, he was regarded as "the top player from baseball's final class of draft-and-follows." Despite starting in the Rookie Leagues last year and having barely a month above A-ball, we'll see the young right-hander in his MLB Debut today. Latos is excited. He's torn his way through the minors and has earned a look for a team that's going nowhere. We've handled some hot prospects already this year (Medlen, Price, Hanson), so hopefully it won't be too much of an issue. However, as RG and Foo Man have pointed out, he never faced the Drillers in the Texas League and only threw a couple innings against us in Spring Training, so lack of familiarity could be an issue even more than most MLB Debut pitchers.

COME ON YOU ROX
I will be watching it all tonight! Woohoo! Latos sounds scarily potential-filled – let’s hope there’s no dream start. High pitch count please, Rockies hitters!
They've beaten Price and Hanson, though
Who are similarly ballyhooed. I suppose one big difference is that Latos showed better control (lower walk rates) in the minors. Though that can escape one in a MLB debut…
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Cain is throwing a lot of pitches and
he is only in the 5th inning and the pirates are up again….lets do it today!

Geez all of a sudden the Giants came alive
4 straight doubles
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
Lineups
The Rockies need some oldschool purple/white striped high socks. The team’s problem is it’s lack of swagger. I feel strongly that these socks will provide the swagger necessary to tap the potential that are the Rockies.
I don't think its too bad of an idea
since he’s got the OBP…

This was the lineup I expected last night...
after Dex’s error on Friday. Glad to see though it will be used anyway.
I got nothing.
I think it wouldn't be bad if
Smith led off and Dexter batted second. They both have good OBP’s, Dex has speed, and since Dex strikes out a lot, it would avoid double plays

I'm less of a fan of that. I would prefer the speedier, lighter hitting guy
In front of the slower, harder hitting guy. I would sacrifice the OBP for it
how many ab's?

He's actually batting
around .500 as a pinch hitter through 25 at-bats. Don’t know what that means exactly but it’s pretty interesting…

Not against righties...
Spilly should be strictly a platoon player… not that CarGo is really a better option.
yea
spilly’s .646 OPS against righties doesn’t need to be in the lineup everyday. unfortunately, CarGo has an even worse OPS against righties, lol

Thats the problem
When Cargo was called up, we were way out of the playoff race. So, the thinking was to let him work through the slumps because fielding the best team was not as important. Now that we are in the playoff race, we have a problem. Field the best outfield (Hawpe, Folwer, Smith) and leave Gonzalez out to dry, or let him play and assume the hole in the lineup until he works out whatever is bothering him.
It worked out well with Fowler, but at that time, we could afford to let him fix it. Can we afford to let Gonzo fix it? I don’t know.
Best case scenario, we trade Gonzo for Halladay? Ha.
Exactly
And the other part of the problem is that he’s done everything he can in the minors… it’s not like he was “only” hitting .290, he was tearing up the PCL when he got called up. They might send him back down to get his confidence back, but that could backfire.

I wish we had Fred Lewis from San Fran instead of CarGo

I’ve seen some bad Broncos fans and plenty of great Red Sox fans. A lot of it has to do with sheer volume—when nearly the entire region is a fan of the team, you’re going to get large numbers of all types

That may be true.
And Lincy may also have something to say.
I would give just about anything to have Halladay pitch here.
Also to continue the nerdiness from yesterday
This link is to the article about reduced aerodynamic drag on a baseball in the Re regime of 100000.
for definition of Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number
by realmenwearpurple on Jul 19, 2009 2:00 PM MDT reply actions
Unfortunately I can;t find a link to read it for free
this one will charge 21$. I got it through my school when I read it last week.
by realmenwearpurple on Jul 19, 2009 2:03 PM MDT up reply actions
Oh ha, didn't even see that.
I will look it up through my campus library and see if I can find it that way.
it is funny
this shows that the effect of altitude is offset SOME because the Reynolds number is proportional to the density of air. In the low density air of Denver, the Re is lower for higher velocities, meaning you have to hit the ball harder to hit it into this drag bucket.

As I can’t see the game on TV today because I live in cali and Extra Innings isn’t showing the Rox..I’m listening to the game, watching it on gameday and messaging here. Wow that’s lame.
You will find many people doing that here
I am lucky enough to have MLBTV with a few friends here who like to watch the Cubs (she is from Illinois) and the Brewers (he is from Wisconsin) but I get first chance at the Rox games.

I wouldn’t have thought to look for radio stations streaming the game. I figured they’d not be allowed to, that those rights woudl go to mlb.com. I noticed KOA doesn’t stream the games, and figured that was why.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
That is why. Other stations aren't supposed to, but are apparently not terribly diligent about it.
So it’s all basically pirated.

I hear it differently
I don’t think anyone’s heartbroken. Just that he is supposed to have some serious wheels, and isn’t it too bad he was taken in the draft rather than being able to see if he developed into something useful.
If if he were like Q…a Q with base stealing ability would be more useful.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
yea i guess
i just couldn’t care less that he’s not on the roster. teams lose players with more talent than Cabrera all the time, it’s part of baseball.
by Narcoleptico on Jul 19, 2009 3:08 PM MDT up reply actions
There's a difference between a 22 year old putting up a .661 OPS with the Padres
And a 27 year old putting one up with the Rockies. Cabrera’s not Q part two. He’s not Rafael Furcal, either, as the SD brass suggest, but it’s silly to suggest he’s a no talent hack.
wow, how'd you find this part?
A google alert must have gone off.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
I just joined the gamethread, I'm going through all the comments
This part about what Cabrera was doing in PETCO just seemed to be a pretty obvious point that nobody else was bringing up.
yea, he's probably not even Q part 2
Q had better numbers in the minors.
by Narcoleptico on Jul 19, 2009 3:38 PM MDT up reply actions
As an older player, every step of the way,
Do you really think age isn’t important in projecting players despite years of evidence to the contrary?
don't think i ever said that
but Cabrera hasn’t put up good numbers, at any level, at any point in his career. maybe in high school or little league, i don’t know. not sure where all this "potential’ is coming from, and i’d wager a lot of money he doesn’t even become a replacement level player in the ML, no matter what San Diego’s brass would claim (they’re not biased or anything.)
by Narcoleptico on Jul 19, 2009 3:42 PM MDT up reply actions
Matt Holliday never put up good numbers in the minors, either
The minor league numbers never paint a complete picture. You’ve got to read scouting reports too.
Everth had a line drive swing, plus plus speed, great range at second and soft hands and a lot of patience at the plate for a player his age. I saw that Asheville team on several occasions and every time I came away with the impression that he was the most likely position player to make the majors besides maybe Holcomb. I’d take that wager of him being better than replacement level at some point in his career in a heartbeat.
plus, are Everth's #'s so bad?
Not much power, but he posted some nice OBP’s. If he can field short, have legit basestealing skills, and put up a decent OBP, that’s a pretty good player.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Yeah
The kid is young, has shown ability. He was thrown in over his head and still hasn’t had THAT many at bats in the bigs yet. I can see him being a solid contributor in a couple years.

The two players are about equal value to a pair of Type A compensation picks,
Both are relatively close to the majors, it seems to be a fair deal for both sides.
At least he didn't go to SF.
