PrintColorado Rockies at New York Mets, Jul 28, 2009 5:10 PM MDT
The Rockies (54-45) look to bounce back from a tough loss last night against the Mets at Citi Field. Here's hoping that Jason Marquis can carry the game all the way to Huston Street, as he's been accustomed to doing in quite a few instances this season. At the very least, let's not allow Juan Rincon to enter the game, eh guys?
VS.
GO ROCKIES!

Sounds ridiculous
but MUST win tonight for me…don’t want to go into tomorrow’s game down 0-2 in series vs Santana…also just winning alone gets that 2-19 bla bla cursed in NY bla bla out of the way….do it tonight guys….Go Rockies!

Agree feels like a must win ...
Even though it really isn’t a must win, to keep up the momentum I agree it does feel like one. Always good to wash out the bad taste of a loss.
exactly
don’t let the bad losses linger

Yes it is practically a must win
And that lineup we’re throwing out should get the job done, plus Marquis. Come on Rockies, don’t let us down again.

yea exactly that too
Marquis out there and the best possible line up out there

Marquis is the stopper
that will get the rox back in the win column and they have had a day to adjust being away from Blake St.
Mission 40W?
To borrow from an old Avs playoff motto, I figure we need 40 wins to ensure a playoff spot. Lets knock it down to 39 tonight!
I think it's only 37 wins, actually.
None of the other wild card contenders are very likely to hit 91.
yea i was guessing earlier about
88-91 wins would take the WC most likely…

I love Spilly
And I admit I was a little peed off when Hurdle gave the starting CF job to Fowler very early. But Spilly hasn’t done much this season sadly.
by CentralCaliRox on Jul 28, 2009 4:33 PM MDT up reply actions
Ryan was probably peed too
He probably thought that he would start in LF or CF all season. He hasn’t adjusted well to the PH role since being removed from starting role. Maybe he should get a shot at a regular starting job again now that we are in the thick of it. Gonzales should platoon with Dex and Ryan based on his performance the last month.
Ryan was never
an everyday starter he isn’t good in that role lol

Smith .411
Barmes .402

i said on base not slugging
Barmes whenever he has gotten a hit occasionally of late has been a homer so obviously his slugging is up

No need to jump down my throat..
I’m just pointing out numbers, also Smith has a lower chance of striking out over the past 30:
Smith 17%
Barmes 21%

fwiw, I think your point on Smith’s suitability for the #2 spot is reasonable and widely held around here.

Barmes is one of the best at hitting pitches out of the zone..
according to fangraphs, but he also swings at a lot more than most Rockies hitters.

I would like to see Brad Hawpe break out of his slump..
He’s batting .368 on balls in play (BABIP), but he’s one of the worst at K’s with a 28.6%, tied with Spilly for the 2nd worst over the past 30 days.

If he can just connect with a pitch..
the numbers show he has a good chance of getting a hit. However, he’s striking out way too often.

You guys are tough
After some of the slumps we’ve seen this season, Hawpe’s last 30 days are a pretty mild slump. What’s he at, something around .290 / .400 / .470 ?

I think the same thing
Hawpe strikes out too much. Always has. And he’s always going for the first pitch but never does anything with it it seems like. That’s why I was scared he was coming back to his old ways after teh break.

I've been twice, with very contrasting experiences.
The first time was awesome and fun. The second time it was really windy. It would have still been okay except that my siblings and I were wearing shorts, and there was some water we had to walk through to get to the dunes. Now let me tell you, blowing sand hitting wet skin stings like a mother. We had to flee back to our van while my mom and dad (who were both wearing long pants) climbed around for a bit.

scoring
so if you score a ball off a fielder’s glove/body, as in that 1-4-3 play to end the inning, does that imply Marquis gets an assist? If so, that seems wrong.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Yup, if it touches a player and a put out is recorded, they get an assist.

Where is Redhawk
to point out (correctly) how sometimes a walk is NOT as good as a hit? Whatever, come on Barmes.
i seem to think
somebody made that point in the big long thread the other day.
I'm not sure if anybody would ever claim that.
Well, other than the point Holly makes below. What we do say is that a walk’s always preferable to an out.
He means..
that sometimes it’s better for a “hitter” to take a hack and drive the ball rather than to take the walk and let mr .231 try and hit. Not all hitters are created equal.

Iannetta's Mr. what when he takes his hacks?
Look, I can see some merit to this argument if you’re Pablo Sandoval and the Giants are your teammates, but a walk even in that case will always be preferable to an out.
I trust Barmes swinging the bat over..
a pitcher. But Iannetta’s strength is definetely better at getting on base, his contact rate isn’t too good.

Hideo Nomo..
Came to the US because he felt he was being overworked in Japan. When his arm began to show strain and he asked for rest, the japanese management sent him to the minors and told him to throw through the pain.

Japanese pitchers throw nearly 200 pitches a game and don’t rest between starts. They will throw 100+ on offdays.

Marquis only allowed 2 runs
The offense didn’t show up for him today
Yeah, Marquis didn't have a bad day...
the offense Clint Barmes had a bad day, so far.

we're not playing well enough to win
but its hard to play 9 against 10 like this. Another example of why the whole “human error” argument is so dumb. Good job Trace getting tossed, if only not to have to watch this butchery anymore.
Am I the only one that is infuriated with this umpiring crew?
Seriously, that’s two nights in a row that the stupidity has been intolerable.
nope....they are making me bananas....
more yelling has gone on in my house in the last two days over this crew than the last two weeks combined.

If I didn't already know what it meant, I wouldn't have noticed.
But it’s one of the few such terms that I do (though I wish I didn’t).
I really can't wait
to see what happens tomorrow night. With the strike zone Pelfrey and Perez have seen, will Santana even have to release the ball in order to get a called strike???
