Game #129 Overflow: Shaking the run stick for some mojo here.

Email
PrintRockies still searching for runs, still running into outs. Not a good way to conjure up a win so far, but Ubaldo's keeping us in this thing.

so if you are lincecum, are you a bit pissed at your team's total inability to score
with all these baserunners??
let’s hope!! lol
Lincecum would arguably be at 20 wins already
if he pitched for the Yankees this year

The Yankees would outbid them
Like w/Tex and CC
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
But in theory
the Yankees can only have 25 players and there are more then 25 baseball players…they can’t buy them ALL…in theory
They like the premium guys
If Lincecum is still at the top of his game and makes it to free agency, they’d definitely be in on it.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
I think learned helplessness has set in by now
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Lincecum is wild!
Let him walk you…or at least throw a bunch of pitches.

SF broadcast just said we have seen the most pitches and have fewest first pitch outs in the NL.
That surprises me for some reason.
Why does it surprise you?
I think that’s been one of the biggest keys for the Rockies offense this year, working on the pitchers pitch counts.
Yes it has.
But it also has SEEMED (clearly as an illusion) that we love to swing at the first pitch too.
by Greg Stanwood on Aug 28, 2009 9:33 PM MDT up reply actions
Isn't that fundamental?
I mean, I just played little league, but I seem to recall getting an eye on the first pitch was pretty much the way you should do it.
Yes, it is. It's a good thing.
I was surprised it wasn’t worse.

His attitude is quite frankly congruent with every player on this team, except maybe Tulo, Yorvit, CarGo and Dexter.

prove his attitutde
He’s a quiet person, you don’t know he doesn’t have an incredibly positive attitude.
This is his 2nd year starting, maybe it’s just a sophomore slump (relatively, stay with me here).
If he’s tanking after 2010, I’ll concede the point, but still argue that he’s an average offensive catcher, as in we could do worse

Indeed...I almost saw a sophomore slump coming
until you taught me how patient he is and I figured he’d walk through slumps. It’s a big slump, and who knows whether 2008 or 2009 are more who he is, but they both count the same.

Iannetta will be the Rockies catcher next year. He will have another year to prove himself.
I bet McKenry throws out more runners however..
but not many catchers can call a game the way Dreamy does.

No one is denying it has been a massive disappointment
The only difference is you’re ready to write him off for one season even though he had the best season in franchise history for a catcher last year. We’re willing to see what happens after the sophomore slump. It has nothing to do with a “man crush” and more to do with common sense.

I guess my point is this...
It is not like this is a slump….he is hitting .220….220!!! That is not a slump. He has had very few hot streaks and they havent lasted long. He is hitting Atkins like, but at his age should be ramping up, not down.

Ok, it's an off year then
This is his 2nd year starting, maybe it’s just a sophomore slump (relatively, stay with me here).
If he’s tanking after 2010, I’ll concede the point, but still argue that he’s an average offensive catcher, as in we could do worse

Average catcher in the NL is batting .253/.323/.385
Meaning that Iannetta doesn’t hit as many weak singles, he walks more and hits for doubles or HR’s more than an average NL catcher. He’s doing better than average in an off year, and you want to send him sailing. Brilliant.

by Sandlotkid8 on Aug 28, 2009 10:14 PM MDT up reply actions
That's true, but that doesn't mean the defense is irrational
It’s because so many people want him replaced with Torrealba or Phillips or McKenry, which are nonsensical kneejerk moves. No one here has him on a pedestal. But he’s at least an average MLB catcher. You’re not going to find someone better.
You say “Iannetta is having a terrible year and I worry what we’ll get from him in the future” and everyone will agree with you.
You say “He’s joined the lists of horrible flameout backstops and needs replaced now” and you’ll get a wave of defense, because those statements just are not right.

by Andrew T. Fisher on Aug 28, 2009 10:20 PM MDT up reply actions
you're rooting for him?
You just declared him a bust, dude. It doesn’t work that easily.
We defend him because he’s maintaining his skillsets while a more variable aspect of batting is what’s dragging him down.
We defend him because the “batting average trumps all” mindset is the one attacking him, and the advanced evaluation has basically established that guys like Adam Dunn and Pat Burrell – guys with similar skillsets to Iannetta’s – have proven their offensive value, yet still are reviled by the Joe Morgan types because “they don’t bat .300 these guys clearly aren’t premier bats!”
Basically, Iannetta is our version of Dunn or Cust or Burrell, and I personally can’t handle people not understanding the value there and simply writing it off

This is exactly like a debate I (and others) had re: de la Rosa with Narcoleptico
He cited his record (he was 0-6) and that he was blown up several times. Looking a little deeper, we knew he was pitching a lot better and would improve. And he did. Batting average is like citing wins and losses almost.

hahaha yeah
His mechanics are ridiculous. People say they are so good that even though it looks like he’ll fade, he’ll be able to pitch for a long long time….but throwin 120 pitches a game can’t help.

I don't mean just to point-counterpoint
I seriously worry that we may have peaked early as well. The pitching is still stronger than it’s ever been, but the bats have gone borderline flaccid

Beyond borderline, but there are phases to everything.
I think we’ll have a second wind before the season’s through. Our next homestand should provide a lot of confidence.
I looked it up
The last Taco Game was the 14-run laugher-turned-comeback last week. The last game before that was Game 2 of the FL doubleheader the Sunday before that.
They weren’t playing badly during that period, but they weren’t scoring as much. Hard to say whether a Taco Game/week is normal, or if it’s slow.

I’m seriously asking
He's great, no doubt
But I’m done tipping my cap to great pitchers. Wanna win the west? Find ways to get it done against the best.
A very sub par Giants lineup managed to hang two runs on a very good Ubaldo Jimenez tonight.
It can be done.
well, "force" is a stronger word than I'd use
but yes, good pitchers can make even good hitters look really bad.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!

I've got to say I totally agree w/ all the comments you have made regarding this offense
It couldn’t look much worse than it does in the last couple weeks. I know we all think the world of Lincecum, but I for one think Jimenez has better stuff and as you mentioned this atrocious Giants offense has 2 runs off him, w/out Molina. I’m sorry but the offense better figure it out soon or it might be too late.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
That was horrible defense in the outfield..
Hawpe looked slow and then Young threw the ball towards the camera well.

We have a chance tomorrow.
Sunday looks like a guaranteed loss though. This series could be bad.

I’m surprised. You guys managed to keep it classy despite having an offensive fail day. I’m impressed. MCC would be cursing their asses off at this point.

provided it's civil here, your home can be as uncivil as needed ;-)

offense in a coma

is going to be the worst hitting Rockies team ever.

Maybe second to the 06 squad.
But in terms of batting average…yes

I think it is up there
which makes it even more amazing that we are in the race
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
The addition of the humidor makes year to year batting average comparisons almost pointless

we might only have 1 30 HR guy
and not nearly enough 100 RBI guys to really call this an offensive team.
I don’t see how these guys are even winning as much as they are. Jason Marquis is their best pitcher, for the love of pete.

They're a balanced team
Above avg pitching, above avg offense, and a very solid defensive infield behind a groundball staff.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
that was intended to be incredibly sarcastic

Is there something Baylor is teaching that leads to these large K numbers
and what I mean is we have been more patient, maybe too patient, or is this just a product of the hitters in our lineup right now.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
I'm guessing scouting plays a role
Iannetta, Stewie and barmes can all be pitched to. As for Hawpe, he’s always been streaky and we’re seeing the downside right now.
Mix that in with CarGo and Fowler, who were really igniting things at the top of the order, going down and you’ve got a recipe for where we are now.
getting very frustrating at the K rate
i know we been talking about it all year…but it really is starting to get on my last nerve…better wake up guys
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
