PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Colorado Rockies, Jul 5, 2009 1:10 PM MDT
You read the title right, Rowbots--this afternoon's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks marks the halfway point (mathematically) for the Rockies in the 2009 season.
Colorado will look to get the series win in the rubber match, but it won't be an easy task due to the pitching matchup the Rockies face. While the Rockies will have their best pitcher, Ubaldo Jimenez (6-7, 3.75 ERA), on the mound, the Snakes will counter with dangerous Dan Haren (7-5, 2.19 ERA), arguably the best pitcher (according to Peter Gammons at least) in the NL this season.
How good has Haren been this year? Let me throw a few stats at you. He's got a 8.84 K/9, but much more impressive is his 1.17 BB/9--meaning that he has 7.53 Ks for every BB he issues (113 to 15). Batters are hitting .194 against him with a BABIP of .241 (career is .298, meaning he's due for some regression)--and his FIP is a stellar .276. Finally, Haren's accumulated 3.7 WAR this season already. In other words, Haren has all the markings of an elite pitcher.
Colorado shouldn't be too discouraged though. After all, they've already beaten Haren once this year (though he returned the favor) and his offense hasn't been able to support him much.

Starting Pitchers
vs.
Today Yorvit Torrealba makes his triumphant return to the Rockies lineup, while Clint Barmes gets his first day off in a long while. Taking Barmes' place at 2nd is Ian Stewart, meaning that Garrett Atkins will play 3rd. Finally, Carlos Gonzalez is getting a seat on the bench in favor of Seth Smith and Dexter Fowler will sit for Ryan Spilborghs.
I approve this lineup.

Missed last night's game
but saw highlights ugh….we need this game today big time!
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
i was just thinking in my head on the way home
that Barmes needed a day off and Stewart start at 2nd Garrett at 3rd for more offense…got my wish even though it is a weakened defense
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
Seth in left and Spilly in center as well...
Tracy’s really loading up on as much offensive potential as possible against Haren. I like the strategy…
yes that too
better offense and weakened defense….but mine as well risk it vs one of the best pitchers in the league
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE

Agreed.
Against a Haren type, either our SP keeps us in the game or not; there’s no possible justification to keeping players in the game for defense. We need the bats that are going to score us the most runs.
A win today will make me feel a lot better after yesterday’s catastrophe of a game.

Pretty awesome
At least until the bullpen sank their mangy hooks into the proceedings. 12 rows back in LF, and anyone who goes with me to a ballgame will never believe that I’m as quiet as I generally am in real life. I will be shouting and making snarky comments the entire time.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
You don't really strike me as quiet, really.
At least not on PR. I believe the shouting and snarky comments.
Actually
I’m incredibly quiet in real life. I think “Silverblood” is a lot of a persona.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
I can attest to this...
I would say you are more outgoing as a person gets to know you, at least with me that’s how it was. Quieter overall than online, but definately still have the same strong opinions and zest.

Ubaldo the .308 hitter
I can say right now that of ALL the surprising performances this year (Outkins, Hawpe’s superhumanness, Marquis leading the league in wins), this is by FAR the one I least expected.
by Greg Stanwood on Jul 5, 2009 1:55 PM MDT up reply actions
Me too.
there have been a lot of surprising things about this year. But I didn’t even know Ubaldo had it in him.
I thought he was going to rival Hammel for being the worst hitter on the team.
Instead he’s outright beating Marquis and Cook for best offensive pitcher.
by Greg Stanwood on Jul 5, 2009 1:58 PM MDT up reply actions
I didn't even know the hitting was something he was working on.
As if a 97 MPH fastball isn’t dangerous enough. Color me pleasantly surprised.
Revising previous statement:
Ubaldo + the D-Backs’ Defense = our offense so far.

The Indianapolis Indians have what's widely regarded as the best minor league park 'Victory Park'...
….in all of minor league ball….good turnout too from what I’ve heard
It's not a popularity contest, though, it's a money contest.
Or else Buffalo would have had a team years ago.
Unforunately, you make a good point...
…then MLB should possibly consider giving LA, NY, or CHI another team
With baseball struggling to keep up revenue...
… that “not a popularity contest” ideology has likely changed.

No, it hasn't. It's still a money contest.
Media markets and economic bases are the most important factors still.

The large issue with Round Rock is that it's considered within both Houston and Texas
Rangers territory. It’s the same issue with San Jose and the Giants/A’s. San Antonio is far enough away from Houston to be considered a distinct market. If they’re going to split up another team’s market, it will be New York or LA first.

I suppose, to a degree, that makes sense...
… assuming the argument you’re making is that too many people in that area, despite being a revenue hotspot, are already devoted fans of other teams.
Of course, with some cities having two teams, we know that multiple fanbases can be sustained in a very contained area too. Austin/RR is at least somewhat of a distance form those two places. And, as I mentioned before, they have devoted fanbase for just the AAA team.
by Greg Stanwood on Jul 5, 2009 2:31 PM MDT up reply actions
There's a lot of Astros carryover in that devotion
Since they are the AAA team for Houston, it’s similar to the Sky Sox in Colorado Springs in that Many of those fans aren’t really fans of the Sky Sox as they are of the Rockies.
I have no doubt that there is a significant spillover there...
… but I can’t bring myself to believe that that carryover is particularly gigantic. I’m a pretty devoted Rockies fan, but I can’t see myself watching both the Rox and Sky Sox games.
Plus, with both RR and Houston often having games on at the same time, RR still draws strong.
by Greg Stanwood on Jul 5, 2009 2:36 PM MDT up reply actions
We won't be seeing an expansion of any kind for a while...

Most people suggest Portland and Las Vegas due to lack of teams in those areas, but Vegas already has too much going on.
My votes still go to Sacramento and Austin/Round Rock/.

by Greg Stanwood on Jul 5, 2009 2:11 PM MDT up reply actions
Big difference in economic base
Much higher per capita income in Austin/RR
But there’s not even an active movement locally to push for a ML team & the one person who might could make it happen (Nolan Ryan, part owner of the RR Express) is otherwise occupied for the time being trying to turn the Rangers into a major league team.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
Just googled 'Helton Geneology' because I was certain Helton meant 'clutch' in old english...
….turns out I was wrong, but his family crest has the saying “Atibus et armis” which translates as ‘By arts and arms’….how sweet is that!

It depends on when he is actually placed on waivers.
3 days, yes, but sometimes players aren’t placed on waivers until a couple days after they’re designated, or in Belisle’s case, a couple days before sometimes too.

padres all the way...they will never climb out of their hole this year
Anyday the Dodgers lose is a good day, any year
perhaps by Dex on a hit and run
because Spllly swung at a bad pitch.
But you shouldn’t need a hit and run to get Fowler to 2nd.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
I think they had a hit and score in mind
A single and Fowler might’ve come home
The difference between
someone who just steals a lot of bases and a great base stealer is that a great base stealer (Henderson, Roberts, Wills) can steal a base in a key situation when everyone knows he’ll probably be going.
Dex isn’t there yet, but I hope he gets there. A SB was needed there to get him to 3rd w/ 1 out. Didn’t happen.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
very true very true
Dex has a lot to learn, but he’ll burn you on the mistakes
BAH
TODD BAD

Juan Rincon
I feel comfortable and reassured.
Like heartburn.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
I need more Rincon
like I need an unsedated appendectomy.

all I can say is
whatever talent he did have…the AL Central chewed up and spat out.
"Right now, I'm eating Scrambled Eggs, with a comb, from a shoe!"
Randy Johnson's throwing shoulder injured in his start today...
That inevitability finally happening is at least a little helpful.
Juan Rincon, 8th Inning reliever in a one run game...
Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2009 Colorado Rockies Bullpen!
Eschew Obfuscation!
hooray a leadoff walk.

a couple outs away from losing a series to the diamonbacks will do that to you

That's completely crapping inexcusable
Actual playoff contenders a) do not lose series to the Dbacks, and b) have an actual bullpen.

But the thought of Rincon cementing himself is a good one

time for Hawpe
to let his all-star shine!
"Right now, I'm eating Scrambled Eggs, with a comb, from a shoe!"
stunned the ump into calling ball four
good job!
"Right now, I'm eating Scrambled Eggs, with a comb, from a shoe!"
yay poor guy and everytime he pitches media makes a reference
he has small children too
News story from June 9 said they still hadn't determined the cause of death
I’d just like to be very cautious with matters of this nature.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
i read suicide somewhere, but maybe they changed their thoughts
was battling depression i heard
Having dealt with some fairly crippling depression myself
if that was the case, my heart absolutely hurts for her.

I'm liking that Street's in, though
Hurdle would have never used his closer in this spot, down 1
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Qualls will blow saves
Get someone on & he’ll WP them around the bases.
He’s got great movement on his pitches, but he often can’t control where they move.

According to wikipedia,
Today is the anniversary of cloning Dolly the Sheep. Can we commemorate (sp?) this by cloning Huston Street?
Five times please?
I mean, we need at least one lefty in the pen, no?
