PrintColorado Rockies at Washington Nationals, Aug 18, 2009 5:05 PM MDT
As far as the Rockies' recipe for success in this game goes, Ubaldo himself said it best:
"They're a young team and they're aggressive. They like to swing a lot. I'm going to try to get on them early and put them away. I need to limit my walks, because they have a lot of speed on the basepaths. My goal is to throw strikes and get ahead early."
You betcha, Ubaldo. Go get 'em!
VS.
Weird new lineup twist:
Rockies
LF Cargo
CF Fowler
1B Helton
SS Tulo
RF Hawpe
3B Atkins
2B Barmes
C Iannetta
RHP Jimenez
Nationals
CF Morgan
SS Guzman
3B Zimmerman
1B Dunn
LF Willingham
RF Dukes
2B Gonzalez
C Nieves
P Stammen

I think I like this twist
CarGo’s not a prototypical leadoff man, but he does have speed, and maybe this sets up Dex successfully bunting for base hits with CarGo already on?
I dunno…trying to talk myself into liking it, I suppose…

We'll see how it works.
Could go either way. I think CarGo and Fowler fit the leadoff role about equally well, but CarGo fits the 2 hole better than Fowler does.

I'm inclined to agree, but maybe this will work well against RHPs
Since Dex has been struggling from the left side a bit, and all.
Frankly, I’m not sure you can go wrong either way. But if there’s a time to give it a try, it’s now.
I’ll just say what I keep repeating, Jim Tracy’s earned an awful lot of benefit of the doubt, given the way the club’s played the last three months.

what i never got about switch hitters is
if you are going sooo bad one side and gooood the other side…just stay on one side till you cool down!

It is easier
to read the ball coming out of the other hand. The players get a longer look at the off-speed pitches and thus they bat left vs right and right vs left. Is is therefore difficult to switch around and track a ball coming from a hand or angle that is unfamiliar. Fowler could make this transition because he’s only been switch hitting for 3 years and is naturally right handed.

I think it should be a rule
If you’re a switch hitter and you bat under .200 from one side of the plate, you should not be allowed to switch hit.
It's happened
Mariano Duncan gave it up in the middle of his career. He was a late conversion to switch-hitting and had power as a righthander but really struggled as a lefty. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen to Dex.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
if RMN were here, I believe he'd approve
or complain about the lack of Smith
if you're reading this, it means my undying support for your team will result in its failure.

I had my hitching back in early June. I stopped following the Rockies on a Thursday, and when I was able to check the scores again they had an 11 game winning streak. Maybe I should leave the country more often.
If it would help...

Actually, today’s been a day of GREAT news, which I blogged about….
My wife’s being moved from ICU to a long term acute care hospital by the end of this week. Seriously. She’s writing a bit now, breathing almost off-vent, doing a bunch of things. I mean, she’s a long way from stuff like walking, going home, etc., but the last 5-6 days have seen huge huge huge improvement.
Of course, she’s on lifetilt that the ICU doesn’t carry FSRM, and she’s bummed she’s missing such a great team.

I understand this as Carlos has been getting on base at a ridiculous pace lately. In the minors Dex batted second and EY2 led off, so this is nothing new to Dex. I hope Carlos can get on and Dex can do what he needs to to move him over. We need this game.

Mostly, because I haven’t actually watched a full game since Friday…and well,
I think I may need some CRA…..

Thrilled to maybe watch a whole game in its entirety. And this Maztek Signing has me giddy as a school girl.
But The WASH NATs are no joke of a team the way they are playing.
I hope they revert to their ways when they first visited Coors but by no means do I think this is a slam dunk sweep…Gotta play good ball and keep their speedsters off the bases.
It's not a slam dunk, but their starting pitching in this series sucks
Seriously, to make up for the lack of Ben’s Chili Bowl in Denver, I’m expecting to eat three days of tacos.

1. Amazing job by the owners/front office on signing a great draft class, including a costly first pick. It’s the only way to compete longterm
2. Amazing job by the Rowbots, posting 682 comments on a signing day thread.
What a fun team & great group of knowledgeable people there are around here.

NO HD
Makes this game really hard to watch . THe camera angles are really bad too. Come on Ubaldo get out of it.
A guess on why no HD
Nats have the worst TV ratings in MLB, probably no HD cameras in the park.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
The broadcast definitely looks like 1080p to me.
But I can’t know for sure without looking at the actual equipment, as I am watching on a computer and not a television.

If you can't watch it in HD then what's the difference?

The quality of an HD camera is still better than a standard definition image would be, even when not broadcast in HD.
It’s just not as good as it would be were it in an HD broadcast.
There are two main points in which a broadcast is formatted; when it is recorded from source, and when it is converted to the broadcast format. I can tell the Washington cameras recording the game are very nice, even though they are not broadcasting in HD.

But keep in mind, I can't say for sure they're 1080p.

You're still only receiving a 480p picture..
but it would be a little sharper on a HD camera, or it could be one did a better white balance to start the game and between innings.

I would describe it as better than "a little sharper".
You’d be surprised how good an HD quality camera can look in standard def. As someone who has shot in HD, but edited and distributed in SD, I was quite impressed at the difference the camera alone made.
by Greg Stanwood on Aug 18, 2009 6:45 PM MDT up reply actions
It should be pointed out that I don't have MLBTV premium, therefore wouldn't be able to get it in HD anyway.
Between the two SD broadcasts, Washington’s is significantly better than Colorado’s. I mean, FSNRM is still broadcasting their SD stuff in 4×3.

Even in HD FSRM isn't as good..
Last week during Tulo’s Cycle, the Chicago feed was much sharper and clearer than the Fox feed. Maybe it’s just the truck and their preset filters.

The splits is the horizontal/vertical movement of the pitches. Uball is faster and has less drop on his FB, with more horizontal movement. He also has a less drop on his Curveball with larger movement across the plate.
