PrintChicago Cubs at Colorado Rockies, Aug 9, 2009 1:10 PM MDT
The Rockies and Jason Hammel look to return to eleven games over .500 after today's game against Randy Wells and the Cubs.
Wells (8-4, 2.73) has been a revelation for the Cubs this year, a 27 year-old fringe prospect that has panned out well. Looking at advanced stats, Wells is having a little luck but still has pitched very well (3.74 FIP and .275 BABIP).
Meanwhile Hammel (8-8, 4.65 ERA) hasn't pitched up to his FIP (3.80) and has been unlucky with BABIP (.354). However, Hammel's well documented home struggles (1-3, 7.20 ERA) are something that he needs to overcome.
Clint Barmes is back in the lineup. Let's hope that he keeps homering every 16 ABs, but also has a few other hits mixed in as well.

Back from vacation...lets go rocks!
Cook out next start…sucks….oh well let’s go guys win the next 2…i want to see a 4-1 rest of the mini home stand
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
I'm down with that!
Let’s rock the rest of the homestand!
Come on Rockies!
I am at home, alone, tonight, and will follow the game with a beer and you guys. I do technically have some urgent work work to do but there’s a Rockies game on!
The Cook game – I honestly don’t know if I’d rather Fogg or Chacin start. Chacin for excitement, Fogg to reward him for an excellent and patient season in the pen. Can we platoon them?
3 innings each
would be nice

I think this game is the most important one in the series
Because if we win then we have a realistic shot at a series win. Or if we lose, then we’ll have to scratch out a win tomorrow just to be even. Plus this is Coors Field. We’re supposed to win at home, and it would be really frustrating to lose a 4 game series on your home turf
yea today is a huge one

this should be a fun game. This is almost a must win (we still have tomorrow) and I think our bats/gloves/pitching can cover for last night. Here we go.

It's not so much that more of them are getting broken
as how they get broken… instead of just breaking into two pieces like an ash bat would, maple bats shatter into a lot of different pieces.
Exactly
and those pieces are sharp. Could hurt someone.

That was shocking hitting, wasn't it?
Really, two men in scoring position, he had to be patient, surely?
Once he was down 0-2
he had to swing if he thought it was close. I think the Cubs game plan is to swing early on Hammel today, as he throws first pitch strikes a lot and opponents have a high batting average against him on the first pitch.
