Rockies determined to make late September interesting, lose to Padres 5-4

PrintJim Tracy pulled Jason Hammel after 87 pitches with a three to one lead on Thursday night, deciding that the best course of action was to follow his paranoia and mistrust of youngsters. The result:
The Rockies runs were generated by a three run Troy Tulowitzki home run in the first and an Ian Stewart solo bomb in the the eighth. The Padres runs were generated by friendly umpires and some Padres doing stuff.
Grrr....

Maybe things will still be okay.
But mother of crap, that one hurts like a gut punch.
As BroJB remarked in the game thread, welcome to town Mr. Double-headed Monster Carpenter-Wainwright.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
Well Carpenter and Wainwright are clones of each other
they spend all their time together and everything, Carpenter is Wainwright’s mentor, etc etc…
SO
maybe if we hit Carpenter the first game, we can symbiotically destroy Wainwright too. KILL. KILL. KILL.
And I say this about my two absolute favorite non-Rockies pitchers in baseball.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.

Coughing this one up.....
could come back to haunt us in 10 days.
Glad to see San Diego gone.
For a team that has been out of the playoff race since October 07 they sure don’t make things easy for other teams.
I'm beginning to think 5-4
won’t get it done. The micro managing in the middle innings with the bullpen is killing me.
Hit for Hammel in the 6th and bring in Daley to start the seventh. simple as that, this “I want to see if i can get them on track” is going to cost us
THIS IS NOT THE DAMN TIME TO GET THEM ON TRACK
WE ARE IN A DAMN PLAYOFF RACE HERE JIM TRACY.
I’m really, really steamed. Still.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
I just can't get over
how effing stupid it was to pull Hammel in place of Morales.
It really was a Hurdlemove and it absolutely cost us the game.

Same here.
My keyboard is melting. Never been inclined to post as much as tonight.
Right, so he got 1 out, that's what I meant.
I agree that if Tracy was concerned, he should have hit for him. But there was no reason to be concerned. Not after the 6th, and not in the 7th.
then he should had let us win...

I have no way to see the postgame remarks, so anyone that's watching,
report here anything comment-worthy.
They're bringing in Clint Hurdle to say....
…“We’ve gotta slow the game down” and “we just gotta go out and get ’em tomorrow”
Also, he’s planning to bench Tulo tomorrow for the popout.
It’s flashback night at the ballpark!
Tracy is offering some bogus explanation right now about the 7th inning.
I think Krieger asked the ‘do you regret…’ question.
“You can’t assume Franklin Morales is not going to throw the ball over the plate.”
Unless of course you’ve watched him pitch the last week.
Then after he's proved that he's incapable
WHY THE HELL DO YOU LEAVE HIM OUT THERE TO WALK IN A RUN?
I was really liking the “our manager isn’t clueless” feeling.

I can tolerate the Kumbaya remarks about everyone when we're winning.
But when we lose – like we lost tonight – it makes me physically ill.
Here is what happen...
Cargo started in the 1st game we won and didn’t start in the last 2 games we lost. So we need our good luck charm starting everyday!
damn that was painful to watch
I’m glad that everyone here seems to be as angry about the timing of pulling hammel as I was.

Another question about the Hammel 7th inning pull...
First time i’ve seen Tracy squirm a little in the postgame.
I couldn't listen.
He was talking matchups et al it appeared but my brain is a bit mushy right now.
He just said he couldn't pull Hammel for a PHer
since he was pitching so well. No followup question as to pulling Hammel for Morales one out later.
wait ...what?

ZACTLY....
I wish the media would have asked, but they are too polite to put Tracy on the spot like that. He was squirming as it was!
Talk about circular logic
“you just can’t pull out Hammel, because he was pitching so well, and if the bullpen would’ve blown the lead in the 7th after pulling Hammel out I really would have 2nd guessed myself”
“I pulled Hammel out after 1 batter because he gave up a hit and he had done his job. There is no way you could’ve predicted that Morales couldn’t throw the ball over the plate, so I don’t second guess myself for bringing him in or leaving him”
“From where I sit, I can’t tell where the ball is, if it’s over the plate of too far outside to even hit.”
Um, How about watching some tape to see how your pitchers/batters are getting squeezed & Expanded at the plate.?
Giants have had 24 games this year
where the score has been 1-0 2-0 or 2-1…make that 25 now…unreal
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
DO NOT CHOKE THIS LEAD PLEASE
Is there something going on between Tracy and Ianetta?
Jim Tracy has mostly pushed the right buttons since he took the reigns in May, but I thought he was off his game tonight. I got nervous as soon as he put Franlin in the game tonight, and then more nervous when he seemed to leave him in too long.
But I’m starting to wonder if there’s some sort of rift between Tracy and Ianetta. I agree that Yorvit has been terrific lately, and deserving of the bulk of the starts. But Torrealba has taken a much bigger load over the past three weeks than Ianetta was ever given when he was starting. And, if I remember correctly, Chris has been pinch hit for late in games the last two times he started.
I thought tonight he should have been allowed to hit against Webb, who had just given up the homer to Stewart and the single to Barmes. I don’t think he would have been replaced had Ianetta been left in, and I thought it was worth the risk of him hitting into a double play. He doesn’t hit into that many, and he is a good bet to either walk or get an extra base hit. I think it would have been better to save Giambi for the next spot, when he could have had a runner in scoring position.
Chris had already doubled and walked in the game, and had he gotten a hit in that situation, it could have done wonders for his confidence.
I think the Rockies are going to need him both offensively and defensively in the playoffs. To mistake Yorvit’s hot streak for genuine long term improvement may be a big mistake.

I have less of a quibble over that as the pitchers, but it's a decent point.
That and CarGo has not been good as a pinch hitter this year. I can’t remember for sure, but I think Jeff & Jack said he’s 0-fer in that spot this season, and tends to expand his strike zone and swing at bad pitches.
I made that point in an earlier thread....
about Iannetta never getting the type of heay workload when he was a starter than Torrealba is getting now. Seems strange to me.
I would imagine that Tracy....
…was as chagrined by Ianatta’s 6th inning K as most of us were, and that may have played a role. I expect he’s on a short leash considering his struggles this season.
So Ianetta is on a shorter leash than FrankieMo?
hmmm

It is a decent point.
I thought we got a break when they didn’t go to Gregerson to start the inning (didn’t know Black planned on using him to close) and that move definitely forced Black’s hand.
Iannetta has been a failure all year
Yorvit has not. It is a play well situation. He looked so goos on the called third strike in the 6th. A killer situation there and no contact.
by PinchHitLancePainter on Sep 24, 2009 10:25 PM MDT up reply actions
Check out their respective numbers
Even with Torrealba’s hot streak, his On base percentage is only 12 points higher than Ianetta’s, and Chris is outslugging Yorvit by a lot.
Chris has certainly not lived up to expectations this year, but he’s hardly the failure that his batting average makes him seem to be.

Absolutely agree...
plus guess which catcher is better with RISP? It’s really no contest. Taking a called third strike with one out and runners on second and third was a huge failure by Iannetta.
As a season-ticket holder since Day One, I would prefer to see Torrealba play significantly more. And I assume he will.
Cardinal are going to be a pain in the ass in this next series...
Holiday will go hitting happy being back at Coors, Albert will continue his MVP stride and to top it off we face off against two CY Young candidates
We slaughtered one of those Cy Young candidates before...
At St. Louis. Your crystal ball may be right, but we actually have to play these games, it’s probably bad form to forfeit them in advance.
Not really
Most of the damage came off the bullpen in that game IIRC.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
by Silverblood on Sep 24, 2009 10:18 PM MDT up reply actions
Plus back then
the role of the loose, care-free, last place playing Padres was played by the Rockies, who were just beginning to climb back into things.
A nine run seventh...
Wainwright was credited for just one of those runs and two earlier and just three hits, so you’re right, but we got to him eventually. He took 112 pitches to get through six innings. I’m afraid Tracy’s taken the team to a more aggressive place now, though, so things could be different. Then again, things could be a mile above sea level.
At any rate, I still don’t think conceding these games before they’re played would be accepted by the MLB. Maybe we can check on that, though.
I'm definitely not conceding them
but I think the general sentiment is that this thing is very, very far from being over.

My hope is that they clinch tomorrow
(preferably with a Cubs loss—too bad they’re playing the Giants) and then go easy the last two.
I hope somebody is throwing chairs in the locker room right now.
Closed door meeting that requires re-modelling afterwards.
Somebody needs to light the fire.
The only guy who really is that sort of dude...
is Giambi. And a) he’s new to the club and b) he didn’t do anything to help tonight.
This isn’t a “yell and throw things” kind of club. that’s worked well for them to date.
I'm thinking this would be a Tulo moment...

Problem is....
I don’t think this an effort problem. they’re trying hard, they’re just not making things happen offensively. What they need, more than broken water coolers, is Baylor to take charge and impose a better approach at the dish. Think opposite field more (Tulo is doing that, god bless him), get more aggressive early in counts and protect the plate with your life with two strikes.
Without that, all the yelling in the world is moot.
I'm just saying that maybe a little fire will help...

I agree with you about it not being an effort problem for the most part.
But sometimes even a psychological fire can help. Not that they’d be trying any harder than they were, just that they think they are.

I tend to agree with this.
Even though it isn’t a sure thing, 5-4 in our last nine should do it…though a 6-3 would guarantee at least a tie and would leave no margin for error for any chasers.

*Unlike all the previous crushing defeats that didn’t. :) This is a resilient bunch.

of course, i'm far more concerned about the braves than the giants
they just finish with the mets, and now they get to play the nationals…
good grief, that division is pathetic…
we just lost a series to Pads....twice
we had our fair share to get it done against bottom dwellers in the division

Al Albuquerque has it all.

And you’ve got a modern day ballplayer named “Al”
That, my friend, is a Hall of Fame name.

Cards won't roll over regardless of playoff implications
a Tony Larussa team losing focus? Doubtful. We’er gonna have to beat ’em fair and square.
Cards are also battling Phils for 2nd best record and home field in the opening series
they will not roll over. We have a better chance of Dodgers rolling over as it will be right before the playoffs – though, that’s also unlikely to happen
didn't expect them to roll over
but they will lighten up a bit once they clinch, it’s psychologically impossible not too…
and maybe tony rests some guys, etc….
can’t hurt, might help to have them clinch.

I don't think anyone's too afraid of the Rox at this moment
They’re gonna have to earn back that fear. Tomorrow night’s good time to start.
the fact that they're not afraid makes it even better, though
because our team only seems to play well as an underdog. Not saying I’m expecting this series to be a breeze, but I think we’ll do better with the odds against us. (Knocking on wood loudly)

From Renck's game story:
At the beginning of the evening, the Rockies looked ready to “Charlie Brown” Padres starter Clayton Richard right off the mound.
LOL – Charlie Brown. Renck cracks me up pretty regularly.
Pathetic
this whole “hope the Giants/Braves lose” routine is already old. The Padres are running a AAA team out there and we lose 4-6? 3 times blowing leads? Unacceptable, Jim. Can a guy go from mortal lock to be manager of the year to being unemployed in 2 weeks? Stay tuned to find out!!! Woo, yay team. Have fun helping the Cards make their Cy Young cases this weekend, they could use some Ks and easy wins. Furious that they are choking this. Just venting here, but my god. if we walk into LA needing a series win to make the playoffs, we are toast.
Don't apologize
