PrintChicago Cubs at Colorado Rockies, Aug 8, 2009 6:10 PM MDT
Let's make it 16 straight vs. the NL Central!
Dempster got a nice contract after last season, but it doesn't appear he's earning it. He's striking out less, walking more, and given up nearly double the home runs. His tRA is worst among Cubs starters. He still has the best slider in the majors, but the issue has been his fastball, which has flipflopped from having a +11.8 value last season to -12.9.
Jason Marquis won the game the Rockies took from the Cubs in April, and in his last six starts, he is 3-2 with a 1.84 ERA, tossing a quality start in each game. If he can do that a seventh time, he has a decent chance of getting his 13th win, whatwith the lockdown bullpen Jim Tracy has at his disposal these days.
After Juan Rincon gave up his last run as a Rockie nine days ago, the pen has given up just one run in the last 21.2 IP (Joey Votto's HR off Joe Beimel) for a 0.42 ERA, 0.51 WHIP and 9.55 K/9. That includes a current scoreless streak of 14.0 IP, in which all seven pitches have contributed, allowing just 2 hits in that span. This is just 12 days after a streak of 40 consecutive hitless plate appearances against the pen was snapped by Fernando Tatis' grand slam. You might not have noticed the dominance, but we tend to only really notice the pen when they aren't doing their job.
Think I've jinxed them enough? Nah...I don't believe in jinxes. I think not, therefore it is not. Right?
Barmes is officially getting a break to get his head on straight, as Quintanilla gets his second straight start after going 0-3 with an error last night.
The game is on MLB Network!
Go Rockies!

Marquis
hope he’s get’s his 13th – would put him back in the lead for NL victories – he deserves it.
The top 6 in that lineup is pretty damn tough against a right hander.
I have a feeling that
Marquis will pull out his purple lightsaber, and Dempster his red one (after his beard) and they shalt hit grounders to each other with extreme prejudice and anger. Thus one shalt prevail in pitchers fielding practice, and so followeth the game.
Or they both might just pitch. Could go either way.

And I got to talk to Ronnie Woo-Woo today (I didn’t know who he was til I asked my Cubs fan friend I’m staying with) (he was listening to an artist named Fredrico Aubele), and surprisingly, he was not a huge fan of our win yesterday, or Marquis.

So Giants won this afternoon...
LA’s begging that Kershaw’s able to go at least seven innings tonight, Pittsburgh’s playing St. Louis close so far, the Marlins are threatening against the Phillies, and Mark Reynolds hit his 35th HR already but Josh Willingham just returned the favor to put Washington back on top.
This rundown of NL contenders brought to you by Dr. Knapp Medical Co.
Of course, I don't think the D-backs or Nationals really are contenders,
But I’d be concerned about playing them if I was a contender, particularly AZ.
I really wish Dr. Knapp Medical Co. had a website. It would make ordering a lot convienent.

"Questionable"
is about the worst I will say about an ump’s strike zone calls. I’m not standing directly behind home plate, am I? But that third strike to CarGo was pretty clearly up, and Dempster totally missed his spot anyway. How he got that call, I will never know.
The framejob and missed location add to it
I wouldn’t be as confused if it were a fastball in the same location

now let’s get these bats going this half inning!
who do you put on instead of Q
he’s not arguing about at bats, and doing decent when he gets in the game. With the talent in front of him what else do you ask for?
EY2
He’d at least be a pinch running threat too, only we’d lose a little
glove and SS capability

But will EY2 have the same difficult transition...
CarGo had at the beginning of the season? We could absorb the experiment early on, but I don’t see how we can during a playoff push. Call him up with the rosters expand in September…
I'm not positive EY2 would be a net gain either, for those reasons
but if Q goes, thats who itd be for

He was performing at a high, unsustainable level and had much higher trade value that he will ever have again.
Eschew Obfuscation!
See the thing is his his value will never be higher than it was in May,
but I dunno if we’d still be contending for the WC if he were traded. Even with all the good things that have happened since then, and his return to streakiness, he’s been one of the main reasons for why we are where we are right now. If he’d been traded, would we be able to say the same thing about Smith? Cargo? Spilly?

The Cubs did sign Marquis to a contract nobody else would...
And technically they’re paying part of his salary, maybe starting him against this team isn’t such a good idea.
That makes a lot of sense
Except the Mafia are accustomed to succeeding.

So explain something for me...
Tulo clearly made the tag….and how long does the ball have to be in the glove, before the ump makes a call? I’m confused by that…
That is the right call
The runner made no special motion to knock it out of Tulo’s glove.
by realmenwearpurple on Aug 8, 2009 7:51 PM MDT up reply actions
I'm not saying it was a bad call...I'm just trying to understand....
if he tagged him out…how long should it take for the ump to make the call…
The ump has to be sure..
because the runner is neither out or safe until the umpire says so.
