Saturday Rockpile: Aaron Cook on his way back, Stewart provides valuable defense

PrintOff the back burner, Rockies Cook sizzles - The Denver Post
As Irv Moss describes in this piece, Aaron Cook did himself - and his club - a huge favor last night. Cook was terrific in his five innings of work exiting after just 76 pitches (no, it wasn't another managing blunder by Jim Tracy - Cookie's on a pitch count at the moment). Aaron looked a heck of a lot like his old self - he was bludgeoning the strike zone with a very good sinker (his 12:2 GO/AO ratio proves that), and he was as efficient as can be. One thing I feel great about is that Cook has either not been available, or has worn down significantly during this stretch of the season in past years. The fact that he just had five weeks off to heal his shoulder and toe (and to clear his mind) has enabled him to be fresh, and solely judging by last night's small sample size (against a powerful offense in a hitter's park), it's quite possible that Aaron is in midseason form. Very good news for the Rox.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Colorado Rockies - Recap - September 25, 2009
Last night's big win for Colorado was front page news on SI.com.
Stewart playing strong 'D' for Rockies | ColoradoRockies.com: News
Ian Stewart's great looking pick in the third inning on a scorcher by Matt Holliday is one of many terrific defensive plays the young third baseman has made this season. Whether his bat is on or off, there's no arguing that Ian is a defensive upgrade, over anyone else on the roster, at the hot corner.
Quiet Jimenez does his talking on the hill | ColoradoRockies.com: News
Hopefully Ubaldo Jimenez is annoyingly (to the Cardinals, at least) loud and clear on the hill tonight. I don't think I have to tell anybody just how big a series victory over St. Louis would be.
Rockies vs. Red Sox : FoxSports.com Photo Gallery
In the number ten position on possible World Series matchups that Fox Sports would love to see is the Rockies vs. Red Sox. That's a LONG way down the road, but it would be nice to see the Rox reverse that 29-10 drubbing they received at the hands of the BoSox.

theres only 16 possible matchups anyway, i’d say we got kind of dissed on this, good thing the media doesn’t determine who wins in the postseason
sox Rox probably should be higher given 07
But I’m sure the fact we got spanked then. If it were at all even, it would be higher. There’s no natural connection with the other three clubs

No help from Nats again today?
The prospects of the Nats helping out the Rockies today doesn’t look good. Their best hitter, Ryan Zimmerman, is not in the starting lineup for only the 7th time this season making an already pathetic lineup (esp with Dunn and Willingham in huge slumps) look even more so. Prove me wrong Nats!
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
well, im sure the braves expected help yesterday

4-0 Braves after 1
Anyone expecting the Nats to win even one of the final 6 against the Braves is engaging in some serious wishful thinking (of course, in the 4 game series in Atlanta to finish the season, the Braves miss Lannan).
There’s a distinct possibility the Braves run the table forcing our beloved Rockies to go 6-2 to avoid a one game playoff. So, let’s repeat last night’s performance for the next 6 games!
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
pirates beat the dodgers yesterday
Its possible. Winning ten straight is INCREDIBLY difficult to do, regardless of competition. It can take one stinker start by your starter, a gem by theirs, a bad bounce, a bad call….the bats may only win a third of their games, but that’s a lot bigger than zero

That would be a pretty good way to get into the playoffs
I’d much rather the Rockies get in by winning six of their last eight against tough competition than backing in because their lead is insurmountable. Philly and LA have been playing well the last couple of weeks while St. Louis has been relaxing (their 5-7 record since the eleventh is the same as our’s) with their big lead over the Cubs.
That said, you still underestimate the Nationals, or maybe you’re overselling the Braves. As bad as Washington is, they are a major league team and they are capable of beating the Braves on occasion. Probability wise, it’s much more wishful thinking to assume a Braves sweep than it is for the Nats to win one. And of course, the Braves also have to beat the Marlins, who would very much like to spoil Atlanta’s chances.
RG
you are correct mathematically, but have you watched the nats lately??
see my post below – they are HORRIBLE – and they don’t even seem to be trying..

They are horrible, but they've still managed to win 3 of their last 12
As that great American intellectual and philosopher Tom Petty once said, “even the losers get lucky sometimes.” I’m not expecting them to win either series, but I do expect them to win at least one of these games.
i hope so
i sure don’t want to go to LA with a 1 or even 2 game lead in the WC.

I don't care as long as it's a lead.
If we crumble under the pressure in LA and choke, then we don’t deserve the playoffs, it’s as simple as that. In some ways, I’d almost prefer it was close heading into Los Angeles, because maybe that will finally drive the Rockies to beat the Dodgers which would be fantastic for the team’s confidence heading into the playoffs.
totally disagree
the rox are a young team, with a VERY bright future.
i think it’s very beneficial to the next few years results to make the playoffs this year, in any fashion and with any results

I'm not sure exactly what you're disagreeing with, as I'm on the same page with you on most of this
I’m not saying they don’t have a bright future, they definitely have a psychological block when it comes to playing the Dodgers though, and it’s better to get over that this season than next year. And yes, it would be very beneficial to make the playoffs, but if they’re only the fifth best team in the League, than they aren’t really deserving of it. They can prove otherwise by holding off the Braves.
i'm saying i don't care how we get in
i don’t care about getting rid of the dodgers block this year or not.
just make the playoffs.
PERIOD.
to come from the dirt and lead in the WC so long, and then fail to make it would be a major psychological blow…

I guess what I'm saying is that just getting to the playoffs. PERIOD. likely requires at least one win against the Dodgers,
maybe two depending on how strong the Braves surge really is and how we do in these next five. You say it’s a major psychological blow to miss the playoffs, I say there’s a psychological block when they play the Dodgers already, it seems to me that the Rockies can get some major therapy taken care of by beating Los Angeles.
i surrender*

Sorry, I get too intense about this stuff sometimes.
I don’t know how good it does the Rockies to worry about things they can’t control, like an unprecedented miracle run from the Braves compared to the things that they can control like beating the Dodgers in Los Angeles or the Cardinals and Brewers in Denver. If the Braves pull of their feat, what do you do but tip your cap to them? The Rockies have played a gritty, tough season, if they miss the playoffs because Atlanta’s a miracle team, why get crushed about it, particularly if Colorado still hasn’t gotten over the one hurdle (beating LA) that would have had them playoff secure weeks ago?
I guess what I’m saying is, that if we come down to the last game of the season and realize Atlanta’s going to get the wild card or a play in game, it will almost certainly have to be because the Rockies are at that very moment losing to the Dodgers again. We have two games left with St. Louis, three with Milwaukee, three with Los Angeles. Five wins and we’ll likely be in the playoffs without a play-in game. I hope we pull out one of these next two against the Cardinals, but that still leaves four more against the Brewers and Dodgers. I don’t think it’s out of sorts to look at that LA series as potentially crucial and if that mental block is still there, we may well be in the deep trouble a lot of people are saying.
Rather than going BRAVES BRAVES BRAVES, I think it’s much more interesting to look at that series and figure out how the Rockies are going to prove themselves and mature into being one of the NL’s truly elite squads rather than just a peripheral contending team.
Nicely said
I agree with this completely. The Rox need to focus on proving themselves capable, instead of hoping on help from somewhere else.
Gladly sharing a name with Dexter Fowler!

My opinion/prediction: the Rockies won't need to win any games in LA.
They’ll have clinched by then.
Eschew Obfuscation!
I think we clinch by beating the Dodgers in the first game.
And/or by the Braves losing to the Nats that night. I have a hard time coming up with the combo of six Rockies wins/Braves losses until then. I see us winning three of the next five and the Braves winning three of their next five. That would drop the magic number to one heading into LA, but I don’t think we clinch until then.
Either way, we won't need to even win one of the LA series...
though it would be nice to do so.
Eschew Obfuscation!
That's my prediction, but there's a real possibility I'm wrong.
If the Rockies only win two of five against STL and MIL or the Braves win four of five against the Nats and Florida, then the magic number’s at two heading into LA and the Rockies might have to win the series. I see this as about as likely as your clinch it before we even get on the plane scenario. It definitely could tilt that way without too much more luck for the Braves going forward.
If the doomsday scenario plays out (Rockies win two, Braves win four) the Rockies will absolutely need a series win and might have to get a sweep of LA to win the wild card outright if Washington doesn’t get in gear. That scenario does require a lot more luck on Atlanta’s part, but like some of these people are saying, it’s out there. I’m not as afraid of it as they are, like I say, I think we clinch with Game 160, but I’m not going to deny that it’s possible.
That's all fine and dandy, but now they are even worse than a 100 loss team
in the last few days, the Nats have committed to giving the SS position to Ian Desmond (3 for his 28 entering today) over Christian Guzman, one of their better hitters. Plus, their taking a look at Pete Orr, who is seems is good for an error a game. Plus, they no longer have Nick Johnson traded away at the deadline.
And I just checked and the Braves miss Josh Johnson, the Marlins best pitcher as he goes tomorrow against the Mets. I now need to reverse course and root for the Marlins to win the next two over the Mets so they’ll have something to play for against the Braves.
Of course, should we make the playoffs, we will look back on the Braves strong run and weak schedule as a blessing in disguise as you rightly say you’d “rather the Rockies get in by winning six of their least eight against tough competition”
My last point before I head out for the day is that it amazes me the number of Rockies fans who continue to say that the Braves won’t run the table or lose just one the rest of the way. From a fanbase that witnessed what we did two years ago against much tougher competition, it astounds me.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
yeah, let's hope the marlins show a little pride...

theres no reason they shouldnt start desmond
he’s a hot prospect that they’d like to get some exposure to the big leagues and there’s no reason not to strut him out there so they have a chance to evaluate him and his weaknesses going into the off season.
not good for us though
Can you even name the last team that won 21 of their last 23 regular season games?
That it came close to happening two years ago doesn’t mean it happens every two years. I know the Braves competition is weak, but it would be a fool’s gamble every time. Those odds are miniscule. Like I’ve been saying, if the Braves do manage it and beat us, kudos to them, but 21-2 for their last 23 is not close to a likely outcome.
but, 20-3 is realistic
my goal is talk down the nats and talk up the braves until so the nats can come back from down 6-1 to beat the bravos today – at 6-4 we’re halfway there
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
It is possible
but very improbable. The Rockies need to continue to show up as they did last night.

btw, two of those wins came against the Dodgers and Marlins,
only one was against a losing team (NYM). It’s just not very likely for the Braves to win out. I wouldn’t be completely shocked if they did because like you say, the Nats are terrible and the Braves at least somewhat decent, but I’m just saying that winning out is not the most likely outcome, and certainly not to the degree that Rocks rock was implying, (that those of us expecting them not to are foolish).
the wishful thinking (i didn't say foolish) was in reference to winning out
against the Nats. plus, they avoid Johnson vs the Marlins who may be deflated should they stumble today / tomorrow. I feel our best hope is the Marlins to steal a game vs Braves and for us to finish 5-3, that would close the deal.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
the nats made around 6 misplays in the first two innings
only two were called errors, but the rox would have probably had 5 or 6 outs on the same balls..
just pathetic.
and people wonder why i’m worried about the braves – they are playing against a bad AAA team

Can you clear something up for me
The Rockies split the season series with Atlanta. So if there is a play-in game – where would it be?
That's a great question because starting this year there's no
longer a coin flip to determine home field. So, after head-to-head what is the next tiebreaker?
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
I'm almost sure it will be in Atlanta given our poor in-divison play

The other thing going against them
is playing so many games against the worst team in the league, is hardly a way to tuneup for the playoffs. The Rockies have to face 2 other post-season contenders and a decent Milwaukee team in order to finish this out, while trying to figure out how to get a slumping offense going. Assuming they get through this stretch into the playoffs, they’ll be pretty well prepared for those games.
The only challenge for Atlanta is 3 against the Marlins
I kind of spoke too soon
Now that the Braves busted out in the 9th, they get to save their closer Soriano – damn!

So there is no chance that the Nats score 8 here,

well boys and girls ir looks like we will

The thing about them
is since they’re in the position we were in 2007 — the chasers playing loose, with nothing to lose — they’re accordingly able to… well, I don’t even know how to explain it, because I’m certainly not going to say that we’re not playing as hard as they are. But I think there’s something psychological about the different mind-set, and really, if someone doesn’t derail them quick…

Rockies were once in the Nat's role
Reminded of the Rockies spoiler role at the end of the ‘93 season, when the Giants and Braves were a torrid race for the division title (no WC) in the last week of the season. Giants had won 11 of 12, but the expansion Rockies beat them fair and square in the second game of a two-game series at Candlestick and the Giants ended up losing the division by one game despite 103 wins. They’re still mad at us over this at MCC. My point is that the Nat’s could very well win over the Braves tomorrow, or one of the four games in ATL next weekend. They’re all major leaguers and play to win.
I was thinking about that '93 race with the Nats this afternoon too.
So good point, I’m glad you posted it so I didn’t have to. Although I think I should clarify that the reason the Giants fans are still mad at us isn’t for us beating San Fran per se although that’s part of it, but also because we went winless in thirteen games against the Braves that year. Let’s hope the Nats don’t follow that expansion club example.
Cubs up 4-1
Damn the Giants, they can’t even win when we’re rooting for them.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
Nah, I'm happy the Giants are loosing

it’s six of one, half-dozen of the other. I think we’re all just scrambling for the illusion of any sort of edge, and are prepared to go to drastic lengths to do it.
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
I agree, as I wrote last night, perhaps we're better off
with the Cards not clinching. Maybe, their hitters were pressing a little last night in trying to get the clinch out of the way, instead of being relaxed and loose were they already to have clinched. Again, six of one, half-dozen of the other.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
Ubaldo has a pretty decent record against most of their hitters
except Rasmus. Should at least be a great game – like last night.
I pretty much guarantee the Cards don't care about clinching
the division is an afterthought, they want home field advantage and will be playing hard until that is no longer an option.

The thing is that Q can play second or third as well...
Those positions are where you start wondering about it. At least I do.
I was just pointing it out
I’d be pretty surprised to see him get in the game at all tonight. I wouldn’t sit Stewie for him, or (and I find myself shocked to say this) Barmes (he’s been hitting well lately and his D has been pretty good).
Barmes is 1 for 7 vs. Wainwright with a single and a walk
And a .393 OPS. Against RHP’s he only has a .285 OBP this season. I’d definitely consider it with him, but with Stewart probably not.
I probably would too
but one of the reasons Tracy pointed to for the success after he took over was the lineup consistency. This would seem a bit of overmanaging. I think the odds of Barmes sitting tonight are about as high as me coming in from the Pavilion to pinch run. Even then if he sits I think that EY2 is the next most likely to play.
Lineups
LF Gonzalez
CF Fowler
1B Helton
SS Tulowitzki
3B Stewart
C Torrealba
RF Hawpe
2B Barmes
RHP Jimenez
has Hawpe batted this low in the order this season?
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
Not that I can remember
some good quotes in the DP article with lineups about the decision to pinch hit for Brad last night.
I read those quotes.
I have to say, I was a little taken aback by Tracy’s comment that Hawpe might not have understood. I’d be VERY surprised if Hawpe didn’t understand. He’s a professional. It’s almost as though Tracy assumed he didn’t. Or didn’t even discuss it with him. I thought that was kind of weird.
Dear Rockies - Do not make me live in a world where John Kruk is right....
Troy Tulowitzki - THE best SS in the game..nuff said
Yorvit Torrealba - En Fuego con RISP
Brad Hawpe- It's not funny anymore..seriously.
Dexter Fowler - prowling CF, waiting to swoop into the playoffs!
I didn't mean to imply that I thought Tracy would do it, btw,
I was saying that personally I’d consider it strongly. I actually do like that Tracy’s gone back to a basic approach with the lineup after all the toying around early in the month, but I would like to see Torrealba rested a little more so both catchers are fresh for the playoffs rather than one dog tired and one rusty.
Barmes?
significantly worse against RHP?
