Jason Kendall. The guy who had exactly one more home run that I did this season coming into tonight's game, in 504 more plate appearances. Yet, with the way things have gone for the Rockies lately (not even all of which is their fault, necessarily), he was the one that drove the nail into their hearts and gave Brewers fans something to cheer about.
That was, until the now-seldom-used Chris Iannetta stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the 11th inning.
Iannetta blasted a 3-2 offering from veteran reliever David Weathers into the Rockies' bullpen to give Colorado yet another walk off victory, this time beating the Milwaukee Brewers 7-5. Iannetta was pinch hitting for Matt Belisle, who pitched a scoreless top half of the 11th to earn the victory. Chris' 16th home run of the season was by far the biggest of his career so far.
The game looked to be over in the 9th, as the Rockies rallied back from down 2-1 to take a 5-2 lead heading into the final frame. Huston Street struck out Casey McGehee, but issued a walk to Mike Cameron and allowed a single to J.J. Hardy. That set the stage for the longtime Major League catcher Kendall, who smacked a line drive just inside the left field foul pole and ripped the hearts out of nearly 40,000 Rockies fans. Street bounced back to get the final two outs of the inning, and Joe Beimel recorded what were arguably the biggest two outs of the game in the next inning as he lured Prince Fielder into an inning-ending GIDP.
The Rockies couldn't cash in offensively in the bottom of the 9th and 10th, but Brad Hawpe drew a leadoff walk to start the last half of the 11th, and after Jason Giambi popped out weakly to first, CDI came in and did his thing.
Jason Marquis overcame some early struggles and ultimately turned in a gutty performance, going six innings and allowing two runs on six hits. However, walks continue to be a concern for Marquis, as he issued four free passes.
Oh, and the Braves lost 5-4 to the Marlins (!), hence the Magic Number listed in the headline of this Game Wrap.

went to the game
Great game decent atmosphere. After the game I noticed that I believe weathers was chewing out the second base umpire. Does anyone else know why.
by Rebel14 on Sep 29, 2009 10:49 PM MDT via mobile reply actions 0 recs
The 2nd base umpire?
No idea. If it was home plate ump, he could have been complaining about one of the pitches called a ball.
by holly96 on Sep 29, 2009 10:51 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Each time in the middle of Weathers's delivery the ump would yell "JINX!"
Seriously though, no idea.

wasn't there a play last night where we had doubled up the guy on first by a mile.
but he was called safe? perhaps that’s it. Can’t remember if 2B blue made that call but i think he did.
by JaySantos on Sep 30, 2009 9:25 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Eh, can't fault the ump on that play.
Long fly to right. First base umpire goes out to confirm the catch. Runner on first tags up. 2B blue prepares for call at 2nd. Runner stops, goes back to first. 2B blue has to then run over to first to try and make the call. He is understandably in a bad position, and misses the call.
It’s just one of those wacky situations that catches the umpires out of position.
Gladly sharing a name with Dexter Fowler!
by ShadowPenguin on Sep 30, 2009 10:47 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was the home plate umps responsability
to cove the play at first. 2B ump needs to be there if there is a play home ump goes to first. But on the replay Braun jogging back blocked the view of first for him. That’s baseball.

I feel great for Iannetta
Hopefully this leads to a little playing time. And as the recap notes, it wasn’t a trouble free outing for Marquis, but he muddled through to good results. I’m glad they scored a few runs for him. It’s tougher when giving up 3 runs can doom you.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!

Could not watch the game
I was actually at my avatar’s show.
But really quickly. Aren’t all wins “walk off wins”? It’s not so much like if you win the game on defense, you just stick around until the next game. And for that matter, aren’t all losses “walk off losses”?

Just back from the game
I cannot possibly express how happy I am for CDI. Talked to several people on the way out and they were saying the same thing. Could not have happened to better guy IMHO. It just seems about time that something good happened for him.
Great night at the yard. Perfect weather, decent seats in the 3rd deck, good company. I’m thinking that I just miiiiight have to “fall ill” Thursday at work and sneak down to the park for what just might be our playoff clincher.
One thing’s for sure:
Go Rockies!!!!

On the phone with my older sister
who was at the game but left (!) after the ninth since she has to work early tomorrow.
She suggests that the Rockies screen for heart disease at the front gate. “Beeeep! We have detected you have a bad heart. Warning, enter stadium at your own risk, we cannot be responsible for your collapse in the aisles.”

…the Dodgers backup catcher is named Brad. Brad Ausmus.
On a more ominous note: he has 1 home run this season.
Uh-oh… :)

I'm sure it was hashed over here, but since I was at the game....
…and out of touch:
how freaking great was Joe Beimel coming in and getting maybe the toughest lefthanded hitter in baseball to roll over into a double play on one pitch? Just fantastic.
Once again – thank you Dan O’Dowd.

I'm pretty damn okay
with Betancourt and Beimel in there. If we couldn’t have our other B-setup guy (Bucky) then they’re sure getting the job done and then some in the interim.
I think Raffy is creeping up on Huston as my favorite pen guy, in fact. Loved the 8th tonight. (The 9th, not so much. I was repeating “Jason EFFING Kendall?” over and over.
11th was great, though. Mad jealous of you guys that still get to go to games.

When they said that Morales was warming up
I started to shiver. Part of me was trying to say “have faith, he’s usually really good” The rest of me was not buying that argument at all. I have lost practically all confidence in him, which makes me sad

If it was Morales in the 12th
I was bracing myself for the lead to be given up, permanently equating him to Jorge Julio in my mind
But then the Brewers might have gone to Hoffman, which would’ve been eerily reminiscent of the play-in game.
by ddavis539 on Sep 30, 2009 1:19 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'd agree with that.
Can’t see Tracy going to Frankie with a big game on the line.
With Belisle throwing well, our pen is looking rock solid for the playoffs — Daley is money, so’s Street, Betancourt and Beimel. I like someone from the group of Contreras, Fogg and Herges for the long guy.
That’s a better pen than we had in 2007.

I thought it was pretty funny
that Tracy nearly walked off the field from arguing the Hart tag call, before he realized, oh, I want the lefty. While I was screaming for Beimel to come in.
by Hizilla on Sep 30, 2009 12:12 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I was at the game, too...what was up with that tag on Hart??
As it happened live it looked TO ME as though he was clearly out with plenty of separation between Helton’s tag and first base. How could Joyce possibly blow it?
by moose14 on Sep 30, 2009 12:32 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Said this above on an earlier comment
Can’t fault the ump on that one.
Long fly to right. First base umpire goes out to confirm the catch. Runner on first tags up. 2B blue prepares for call at 2nd. Runner stops, goes back to first. 2B blue has to then run over to first to try and make the call. He is understandably in a bad position, and misses the call.
He was shielded from the bag by Helton, and probably couldn’t see the runners hands diving back in.
It’s just one of those wacky situations that catches the umpires out of position.
Gladly sharing a name with Dexter Fowler!

On another note....
The Brewers have the scariest 3-4 hitters in baseball. Braun and Fielder are just freaks.
Pujols-Holliday come a close second, but (as we know in these parts) Holliday can be pitched to.
But Braun/Fielder? Man, they’re flat out scary. A 3-4 combo with 73 HR, 244 RBIs AND they’re both hitting around .300? Unreal.
by BroJB on Sep 30, 2009 12:30 AM MDT reply actions 0 recs
I'd take Pujols-Holliday over Braun-Fielder
Batters who walk to first usually come running home.
by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Sep 30, 2009 12:33 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well,
Pujols is the best hitter in baseball, so I suppose you take that pair just to get him. And, of course, Holly’s no slouch. But Braun and Fielder are both so damn good — and they do it on a team that doesn’t offer too much in front of or behind them in the lineup.
But yeah, you can’t go wrong either way.

The other thing I'd give you with the Brewers pair that I didn't think of at first is the lefty righty matchup.

This discussion....
…gave me reason to have a quick look at Pujols’ stats for this season. Mind-blowing. Ultra,ultra,ultra-productive in every meaningful category AND he’s only struck out 63 times! His slugging % is .668! They’ll be building him his own wing in Cooperstown some day. Really, if he stays healthy, he’s on his way to being up there with the best who’ve ever played.
Thank go he can’t judge popups when on the basepaths, though. :)

I was at the game
and the first thing I noticed was how everyone was into the GAME. The fans knew that the Rockies were in a playoff race with the Braves. So many times going to Coors half the people there don’t even know which team IS the Rockies, little own, anything about them or the game.
Other Notes:
Famous Daves, maybe the best food buy in the stadium. Oh, sure there is the Monster nachos, which are massive for $6. But those ribs are great. (and I got and end piece today!!!! For anyone from the south, that’s like hitting the lottery!)
Tornadoughs and beer do NOT mix YUCK!
Daily really has improved. He can locate, and his stuff as more of a zip to it. When he plateaued this summer, I thought he was a flash in the pan, but if he can locate like that, he’s got a career.
EY2 really needs to figure out when to run. MLB pitcher have much better moves, and the Catcher have better arms. He’s running into outs.
I disagreed with Tracy’s moves in the 11th. He should have bunted with Barmes, then bring in Giambi…who would have walked, and that would have had the winning run on 2nd for Fowler……Oh well…..walk off home run, but some one I had no faith in turned out to be a good call.
GOD I LOVE BASEBALL. A perfect night to be outside in Denver. Some times I feel so dang blessed, its not funny. (at least I’m smart enough to realize it, and for that I’m thankful!)

Let's see....
- Having enjoyed both a Sandlot Hefeweizen and a parmesan Tornadough this evening, I must respectfully disagree. It was a combination most delicious.
- I was more aggravated by Helton swinging at (and fouling off) the 2-0 pitch than I was with EY getting picked off two pitches later. EY had that bag swiped and Todd needed to take one to let him get to 2nd.
- In the 11th, Tracy clearly made the judgment that Giambi with a runner on first gave him a better shot than Dexter with runners on 1st & 2nd. I tend to agree with you that, in a traditional baseball sense, you take the latter over the former. But, right now, Giambi is a something of a folk hero in these parts, so it’s hard to take the bat out of his hand. I get that.
- And yeah, there was a nice percentage of folks who knew (and cared about) what was happening on the field. That’s always nice.

oh…my combo was Coors Light, and Cinnamon Tornadough. Which really is the only flavor of Tornadough to get if you are true blooded apple pie loving, Flag waving good American. Oh sure French people might get the Parmesan, and that terrorist guy from Aurora might get Parmesan, but Cinnamon is the way to go :P
But not with Coors Light…..GAGAGH

You'd have a decent argument about the paremsan....
…if you hadn’t copped to drinking Coors Light. Really, that just tossed your credibility right out the window.
Which reminds me – I went to the Great American Beer Festival last week, and Coors, Miller and Bud were all there. And people were on line waiting to get samples. Needless to say, my parmesan-loving ass was having none of it. Although I did take a sample of Olde English Malt Liquor. I can report that it’s not as good without the brown paper bag.
