PrintWashington Nationals at Colorado Rockies, Jul 6, 2009 6:40 PM MDT
Entering this season, Baseball America ranked Craig Stammen as the #20 prospect in the Nationals organization, and he made it into the majors at the end of May. His best start so far came against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium on June 18 when he threw 6 1/3 innings of shutout ball. Other than that, he's been so-so and almost sent to the bullpen.
Jason Marquis, meanwhile, is an All-Star.

We have
the best game threads !!! I am so impressed with all the knowledge on this thread. I laugh alot, too. You all are great. Thanks for letting an old lady join you once in awhile.
You should have seen
the game threads during the first two years we were doing this. Barely any comments. Of course, we were averaging around 200 visits a day.

I’ve finally joined the 21st century and bought my first HDTV today. All set up and ready to go to watch the Rox in HD. Is it first pitch time yet?

Did you upgrade
your cable or satellite as well?
Reason I ask…I know a ton of people that get an HDTV…then never pay the extra $5 a month to actually get HD programing….and regular programing on an HDTV set…looks like crap.

I watched games on a 6" black and white screen for a while because it looked better

My neighbor
saw my new HDTV…and went and got one last week…then……never went to Comcast to get the new box so he could actually get HD shows. I just don’t get it. I really don’t.
I have another that’s had a flat screen for almost 2 years..paid big bucks…has Direct TV…but never upgraded it to get HD. “I’m paying enough already”….crap it’s $5, and it’s the difference between night and day.
I saw HDTV’s being sold…not hooked to HD feeds…blew my mind. I don’t get it.

The reason people don't do this is because television vendors inappropriately advertise their products as coming with HDTV...
… as opposed to the capability of displaying HDTV.

Nationals rotation
coming into this year, Scott Olson had 101 starts, John Lannan 37. The rest of the rotation (whom we face) – zero.

Questions
1) When did the Tulo chant get started ? Do you think Tulo likes it ? What is with the pine tar (or whatever )on the batting helmets.? Is Cargp trying to be like Manny R.?
Guesses and answers:
1) Tulo chant wsa sometime in the latter half of 2007, iirc. 2) He strikes me as a person who enjoys it. If he didn’t, I doubt he’d do a whole commercial centered around it as he did for 2008. 3) Pine tar on helmets is so that hitters can take a little at a time when needed with their gloves to improve their grip on the bat. It’s a convenient place to store it. 4) I don’t know about Manny specifically, but he IS trying to hard to make an impression.

Tulo Chant
got started late in 2007. It was very organic. The “music” was a normal pump up the crowd stuff and is used by all the teams….the Rockies fans just added the “TULO” part on their own.
I don’t know about him….but I hate it. He hasn’t earned it yet.
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
I like it because I enjoy things that distinguish at-bats from each other,
since I catch almost every game on the radio. Of course, for a distinguisher, a “long, deep fly ball to center that’s gone and not coming back” is nice too.

I agree, in a way, I think getting to the major leagues as Rockie should be "earning" it...
and Rockies fans should do this sort of thing for all of their players.
As for Rockie/fan interaction
I dig “Tulo”, I love “MVP”, but I don’t think it gets better than Spilly’s “Sweet Escape”.
"Don't tell me about the world. Not today. It's springtime and they're knocking baseballs around fields where the grass is damp and green in the morning and the kids are trying to hit the curve ball." -Pete Hamill
But a "Chant"?
Chants are rare…they’re hard to do…like one guy on a team could really have one…and Tulo hasn’t really done anything yet to be the ONE guy. Helton I could see….even Holliday before he was traded.
On the plus side, it was organic, and not some PR, front office stunt thing.
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
Re:organic
Exactly. I feel like anything the fans do because we’re fans and love our team is good. They where our colors, so our support in all it’s forms is very appropriate.

They're not that hard...
Really most guys on the team could probably have them if they chose a chant conducive song for their batting music ala Spilly and Sweet Escape. Rockies fans should be looking for ways to root these guys on in every game they play, and then argue about the merits of them playing anymore afterwards. It’s not like baseball doesn’t have a long proud tradition of honoring mediocrity anyway, Have you looked up Tinker’s or Evers’ stats at the time their famous poem was made (Chance’s were pretty good), or thought about how Mighty Casey immortalizes a slow swinging AAAA slugger? It’s not only the greats that get the immortality in this sport…

on the bright side...
…isn’t he more likely to squeeze the lesser pitcher?
…tonight, that isn’t Marquis…
He doesn't really squeeze.
He’s more the “I’ll call whatever I want a strike, but later that won’t be a strike” type.

Maybe Tulo should remember
not to swing at the first pitch so often?
benching him made him angry
but giving him a take sign now and then might be good.

a take sign on 0-0?

I hear that MLB covers up how many fan injuries occur on balls or bats flying into the stands...

CDI is really not getting runners of late.
He started the season well, I wonder what the issue is, anybody have some thoughts?
67% is right around the break even point as far as game theory gain
which means he’s been pretty much a zero factor base stealer in his career…if you take out the notion that he is a pesky distraction that can aid the following hitter

I have indeed read that
I intended to take excepts such as those exact finding and present and explore them in articles here, but KYF and NLWR keep me pretty busy. It’s a tough book for a traditionalist to read – it opposes a lot of conventional thought.

Looking over the starters, only Cook appears to hold runners well. The others had bad records pre-dating this year and/or predating their tie with the Rockies Rockies (for to which that applies).
FWIW, Iannetta’s 24% CS entering this game was by far best on the team. Phillips caught 11 of 20 w/KC, but 1 of 15 with CO.

I stopped playing in middle school (what with me being the stereotypical artist and not the stereotypical jock)....
I never hit a HR in the year we won the middle school championship, but as the 4th string corner infielder, I hit .295 (yes, I kept track of my stats) with 14 RBIs, which was second on the team (again, off the bench).

My one HR would have been a grand slam had the pitcher not thrown a wild pitch over my head the preceding pitch. I don’t remember my stats, but the coaches kept track. That made it more quizzical who they chose for playing time

Hehe.
Yeah. I was probably a full season .195 hitter.
I was really all over the map, actually. I played 2 seasons in middle school. One season we were the second worst team, and the second, we won the Denver championship.
Like the seasons, in the first, I was awful (I was a super utility player that season, but that was the season where they realized I couldn’t play shortstop.) Second season, I was only in LF and RF, starting about every other game. I went from 2006 Clint Barmes to 2009 Clint Barmes.

My coach told me to pitch in a HS game, coming in no outs and bases loaded
but I’d never thrown off a mount before, even in practice. He told me to throw just fastballs. I got a comebacker, but the catcher didn’t get up for a DP opportunity and screwed it up. Then I had 3 walks, 3 hits and a HBP. So I started throwing junk pitches and got 10 out in a row

Actually I was more like the ace reliever
When one of our starters got in trouble. I don’t know if the coach didn’t think I could handle a starting load, or if he just wanted to burn out my arm, but in middle school I threw harder than a lot of the guys.
I played church softball probably 6 years.
I am left handed. I walked a lot. One year we got to regionals only because we had Roy Halladay’s sister on our team. She was both our best pitcher, as well as nearly our entire offense.
Actually, I believe it was Greg Maddux.

Radio trivia answer (and the question again)
Ronnie Belliard once collected a club record 8 RBI in one game for the Rockies in 2003. Who are the others to accomplish that feat?
Andres Gallarraga (3 HR in San Diego)
Larry Walker (Steady drizzle in St. Louis)
Matt Holliday (2005)
As Jeff Kingery says, it’s the Usual Suspects.
"Horton is win."
--Horvil Tiki
Oh I liked him too, it's just I doubt if the question was "Which four Rockies have had 8 RBI in a game?"
That his name would be in the first dozen guesses for most Rockies fans.
Yeah, he wouldn't be anywhere near my top 20
I’d probably guess Mike Hampton and Jason Jennings before I’d guess Belliard.

The Nats would probably consider giving him away

especially on 2nd or 3rd, when you're going to score anyways.
there was no reason Barmes should have been more than a couple feet off the bag. it was 100% his fault.
Funny story
One time several years ago I was at a game that Jamey Wright was pitching. There was this loud-mouth next to us. He was annoying, but he was hilarious. Wright slipped trying to round 3rd, and he stayed down long enough to get thrown out at 3rd. This guy next to us says, “That has got to be the absolute worst baserunning I’ve ever seen.” It was hilarious. I’m all for a “designated runner”.

Marquis is pitching such a great game
ph for pitcher unlikely…I say pull Cargo anyway
yea, he's only gotten on base once and was about 1 inch away from a triple
definitely the guy you want to pull
You do that...
…and I assure you the next batter will put one into the left-field corner where CarGo would’ve got it and no other corner OF we have can…
Must keep
a close eye on Marquis here. I know we’re all scared to death of whoever might trot out of the pen…
Yeah, he sort of looked out of gas last inning...
Jim Tracy should NOT pull his best Grady Little impression here…

Marquis hitting
I love this tendency. When you are going to hit your pitcher should #8 hitter get on but pinch hit if he does not, teams ALWAYS put the pitcher in the on-deck circle even though it is the less probable of the outcomes. A subtle suggestion of confidence that is noted in the game everywhere
