PrintNew York Mets at Colorado Rockies, Sep 3, 2009 1:10 PM MDT
The psychology of start times will begin to play a greater role among contending teams as the season winds down. Tuesday and Wednesday, it was the Giants who were able to apply pressure from the scoreboard on the Rockies by shutting down the Phillies offense. You have to wonder if pressing may have played a factor last night in particular as the Rockies struggled to get runs across early with a beatable foe on the mound. With an early getaway day start scheduled for this afternoon, the Rockies will get a chance to return the favor to San Fran, and put Atlanta and Florida in "must-win" mode if they are able to pull off the sweep of New York.
The playoff "race" itself is sort of funny because a team doesn't exactly know where the finish line is until they are just about ready to cross it. For the NL wild card, the finish line is somewhere between 87 and 95 wins. The bottom end of that range, 87 is unlikely and would almost certainly involve a playoff between one or more clubs. One of those numbers will be just enough to get in, one below will be sorry, but no cigar. The top end of the range would require the Rockies going 21-8 down the stretch and be even more difficult for the other three contenders to pull off, but that might be what it would take for them if Colorado gets hot. The bottom end will almost certainly require a tie-breaking playoff.
At any rate, I guess the point I'm getting at is that teams have to just keep on racing to certain yardsticks until the finish line is in view. If the Rockies win today, they'll be the first wild-card contender to 75 wins, a fairly significant milestone for the chase. The next marker would be a guaranteed .500 or better record at 81 wins, and at that point the actual win value of the finish line should be start getting into focus. It would be great to have that 81 win total met heading into San Francisco on the 14th, as the Giants would have to win eight of their next ten against tough competition just to keep pace.
If the Giants do that, it would be assumed that they won at least two of their three against Los Angeles, which makes the Dodgers more vulnerable to losing the division. They will be faced with the prospect of having to do well against the Dodgers again right after playing the Rockies to keep up as well. If they fail to maintain that pace, they will drop out of playoff contention fairly quickly and be in a sweep or die mode again for the Rockies series.
The pressure the Rockies can exert by beating sub-.500 teams during this stretch of the schedule will pay big dividends in the very short term. Getting to the baseball playoffs is as much or more about not choking against inferiors than it is about beating your equals. The Rockies need to keep the throttle on this afternoon and break out the brooms against New York.
GO ROCKIES!

Rockies have hit .321 off him
in 5 career appearances. Slash line: .321 /.349 / .429
Q is 2 for 3, Atkins 4 for 7 against him. I’m surprised they’re not starting. :P

Totally Off Subject,
but I am wondering if any of our rowbots in Calif. have been affected by the fires? Check in okay?
Go Rockies , use your brooms !!
Can't speak for others
but the nonstop “smoke” smell has finally kinda dissipated (or, I’m just accustomed to it). I don’t live too close to the heat though, so no real impact other than some cool sunsets and watching the fires from my office window at night…
Hey there...San Diego RowBot
not much doing down here. No smoke, nothing…for which we are immensely grateful! The 03 and 07 fires were just horrible. Hopefully, we will be spared again this year.

In my opinion
MLB network is heads and shoulders better then its NFL and NHL counterparts

Having never actually watched NFL or NHL networks
I can’t form an accurate opinion, but MLB Network is good. Then again, I almost never watch the NFL or NHL.
I think all 3 are pretty good
but MLB is better than NFL, NHL is better than NFL especially when the season is underway

I honestly have no idea why Barmes is batting second if Seth Smith is starting.
Perhaps we don’t like home runs in the first inning?
we used to win a lot of games
when he started in the spot, but that was pre-slump
No, it's because...
we like 2-out bases loaded home runs in the first inning

i’m not happy with corey sullivan’s recently acquired “rockie killer” status
He definitely likes trying to make us think we regret letting him go, huh?
But oddly, I just keep looking at our outfield situation now and start laughing with giddiness anyway.

i’d much rather him beat up on us 3 times a year than be part of our starting OF

One question because I just noticed it, then I have to go back to work:
Why in the world is Barmes hitting in the two hole? I guess Seth, his .400 on base percentage, and ideal tools for hitting second aren’t good enough for Tracy?
I can’t stand tinkering like that . . . Barmes belongs in the 7/8 spot, he does not get on base enough or get the ball in play enough to hit 2.
Sorry if this has already been brought up.

out of you chris. i hope this year is a fluke. although i’m worried that 2 of his 3 seasons have been terrible
Popcorn chicken...with club sauce...
prolly
this one’s only been half terrible and even with the 2nd half is likely at least league avg for a catcher. The 1st yr was his rookie yr. He hit as a minor leaguer. A bounceback is definitely a reasonable expectation.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
anyone else
uncomfortable with today’s lineup? Seems like there’s too many slumping batters, spread throughout the lineup.
honestly
i like the lineup with the exception of iannetta and barmes. i think hawpe needed a break, and atkins shouldn’t be playing at all. torrealba needs a blow too so basically im just disappointed we aren’t seeing young at second
