Wednesday Rockpile: Rockies Coming on Strong Down the Home Stretch

PrintWith their 3-1 victory last night over the Cincinnati Reds behind the dominant performances of Jason Marquis and Eric Young Jr., the Colorado Rockies are in rarified air for the franchise--19 games above .500. They once again own a three game advantage in the Wild Card race (which has quickly narrowed to Colorado and San Francisco) while LA is within range (3.5 games) with just 23 games to play. The win pushed the Rockies' record under Jim Tracy to 61-32.
The Rockies are going on a joyride down the home stretch--the Denver Post writers instruct you to sit back and enjoy it, Rockies fans (bandwaggoners are welcome). They outline ten things you should know about this Rockies squad and how they have gone from 18-28 to 79-60. It's a good primer for the uninitiated and those who need a refresher course on the 2009 Rockies.
Here is how the Rockies' playoff chances stack up as of last night. According to this simulation the Rockies are most likely to win 92 games, with most of the simulation outcomes between 90-94 victories. Even the low end of that spectrum would require only an 11-12 record down the stretch--and there's a 73.2% chance that if the Rockies were to end up with 90 wins that they would make the postseason. At the upper range (94 wins and a 15-8 record down the stretch), the division comes into play.
BP Odds: Standard (86.3%) / PECOTA (83.6%) / ELO (81.7%)
CoolStandings: 78.6% chance
What can we take away from this? These simulations, which do a great job of weighting the potential outcomes of the season, see the Rockies with an excellent chance of not only reaching the postseason, but doing it at a pace heretofore unseen in the Rocky Mountains. Heck, just by playing .500 ball the Rockies will set a franchise record for victories--and there is the potential for much more.
It's a great time to be a Rockies fan.
Injury Updates
According to Patrick Saunders, Troy Tulowitzki will likely be out a few more days with lower back pain, while Ian Stewart's back pain is not as serious. Obviously this is a blow to the Rockies, but like some have advocated, giving Tulo and Stewart some rest as the Rockies gear up for Rocktober can really pay long-term dividends for the club. Plus, if Eric Young, Jr. keeps hitting this well, the Rockies will have yet another weapon primed and ready for the postseason should they need him.
In the notes, the article mentions that Ubaldo Jimenez's hamstring feels "much, much better" and that he predicts that he will make his regular Saturday start against the Padres. Obviously this is good news for the Rockies, who would like to avoid a Tim Lincecum situation with their ace.
Thomas Harding chimes in with an article about Ian Stewart's back spasms and in it he mentions that Dexter Fowler will likely be activated for tonight's game after being evaluated by Rockies trainers and coaches.
Other Links
Franklin Morales notched his fifth save in a week last night since assuming the role with Huston Street's bicep tendonitis. Harding writes that Morales is making the closer's role his own. My opinion for next year is that Morales should be a starter--even as a dominant closer, Morales would be less valuable to the team than as a middle of the rotation pitcher--and Morales has the potential to be a number two guy, which is much more valuable.
The Rockies are inviting your votes for the Top Nine Rockies ever (by best hitting seasons) on 9/9/09. I'll have my say on this in a couple of weeks when I finish my WAR Lords series, but this list is...inadequate.
Finally, here's some power rankings that diss Bruce Bochy for those of you who like that sort of thing.

Man I was watching MLB network showing that 8th inning of the DBacks and Dodgers. Kept thinking “The snakes will get out of this without giving up runs…….they’ll get out of this with the lead…….they’ll get out of this at least tied……..crap.”

My thoughts exactly.
Why can’t they help us out a little more? I guess I shouldn’t complain, considering we just swept them, but still.
Seriously?
Outscored 120-86 this year in the ****ing 8th inning.
If it weren’t for the 8th inning, we’re still in contention.

They'd be dominant in the little league
They only play 7 innings there. Also, they’re 13 years old. The Diamondbacks could win maybe 90-95 games there.

Well at least we didn't lose to Kevin Correia last night
and watch out super hyped pitching prospect barely crack 90 on the radar gun.
I was not terribly impressed watching Bumgardner
Why would they call him up when there have been so many reports of loss of velocity and possible injury?
Or call up Posey and let him ride the pine. Their front office is a disaster.
I was just trying to comp him with Chacin
and i feel like The Machine has better breaking stuff and a slightly better fastball. Just more polished overall. But his control might not be quite as good as MadBums. And of course, he’s older.
Reports on Bumgardner
had him with one of the best fastballs in the minors, if I am not mistaken. I don’t know where it went.
Chacin absolutely has better breaking stuff, just needs to learn how to control it. SSS, I know, and one start does not make a career. I just don’t think Bumgardner’s ceiling is as high as we have been told. I can’t see it.
Neyer posted something on ESPN to the same effect.
He used to sit in the mid 90’s, hitting 97. Now he’s hitting the low 90’s.
The guy is 20
I wouldn’t write him off just yet.
Like I said above
SSS
He has plenty of time to fulfill his potential. I am just a bit concerned about his health, and the way he was called up seems reckless.
"Holy mother of dumb"
Best quote from the power rankings dissing Bochy.
Yup, that one is going into the repertoire.
my favorite
was a little more insightful (though Holy Mother of Dumb is classic), and from the Houston Astros section:
You’re surprised that Miguel Tejada has fallen off in the second half? His fate, and the fate of other mid-30s players, was written when the clubhouse bowls of greenies were replaced with raisins. I’m not accusing nobody of nuthin’, but look at the second-half implosion of guys like Raul Ibanez. Finally, the natural aging process has triumphed over its evil chemical overlords.
Horrible example of "thinking"
Banning amps might be affecting players, but I don’t think those two are very good examples. You have two players regressing from huge 1st halves that were way above their established level of ability. This is what we thought was likely to happen. Tejada’s numbers are now pretty close to what was projected for him at the beginning of the season. Ibanez’s big 1st half was used as evidence of steroid use, and bow that he’s declined, he’s accused of missing PED’s.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
I've been wondering
how much of an impact that will really have. Nobody talks about greenies because steriods are so much sexier, but I know a dude who played in the bigs for 15 years and he told me that they were a big, big, big part of everyday life in the majors from the stars to the rooks. Whether or not its true of Tejada or Ibanez, it is having an impact somewhere in baseball.
When one window closes
I’ve noticed a bunch of players this year with ‘chawbags’ tucked in their lower lip. Looks like the players are trying to get some pep from other sources since greenies are verboten. Joe Garagiola cannot be pleased.
I can't decide whether I'm hungry or just really tired.
Good point
I had noticed that too, but hadn’t put the two together.
Meh....
Bochy is a total moron. I have no idea why the Giants hired him, after watching him fail all those years with the Padres.

ok, i'm going downstairs to the tibetan shop
and buying some insense to burn for tulo’s speedy recovery..
I'd like to take this opportunity...
To drop an “I told you so” on all of those who doubted that that it would come down to us and the Giants. All of you Cubs, Braves, and Mets promoters know who you are.
Of course I’ll also have to admit that I was one who had the Brewers still in the mix as well.
I had the Braves
their fade has been something. Chipper Jones has fallen off the table, and it’s brought the rest of the team with him.
I'm really suprised Kruk's little league team..
isn’t still in the race. They (Mets, Braves, etc) must’ve grabbed their orange slices and gone home.

Any of you locals going to Monolith this weekend?
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mars Volta
Dandy Warhols
Girl Talk (meh, can’t stand them)
…a ton of great bands…

I'll probably skip the Mars Volta, too...
But there’s a newish band out of Brooklyn playing, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, which is fabulous. They’re kind of like a mind meld of Ride and Voxtrot.
Also, some dear friends of mine, Jim McTurnan and the Kids That Killed the Man are playing on Sunday.
I buy VIP each year, but I gotta admit that some of this year’s lineup doesn’t really thrill me. Still, it’s a great event.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Will do, I think they're on the draft scheudule I made up for myself
I’m also really excited about Phoenix, The Thermals, The Knew (from Denver yeah), The Love Language (seen them before, fantastic), Of Montreal, and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros.
Still, there’s actually very little on the main stage I’m interested in this year. In fact, now that they’ve cut prices on all the VIP stuff, I’m feeling almost positively ripped off this year. This will be my last Monolith…or at least the last time I commit to forking over that $$$ prior to the full announcement of bands.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Never heard of The Knew before
I like what I hear, I may have to check them out. Do they play a lot of local shows?
(What is your band’s name again?)
Yes, The Knew does play locally about once a month
We tried to get them to headline our Bluebird show back in May, but their bass player was outta town…
My band is New Ben Franklins. We’re playing at the Meadowlark on the 24th, and at Moe’s on Broadway on the 26th, and at 3 Kings Tavern on November 8th.
That 3 Kings show will be really cool, since we’ll be opening for The Jet Age, the band I used to play with in DC before moving here
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I love 3 Kings
But I am going to be in Austin that weekend for a music festival. I’ll keep an eye on the rest of the dates.
What's that the ACL festival? If so, damn, wish I were there
We’re trying to actually get to SXSW next year, at least for a few unofficial day parties…we’ll see. We definitely do not have the juice, but our frontman’s been attending it as media for the last ten years, and has different types of connects, so who knows.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
FunFunFunFest
more underground festival. Jesus Lizard are reuniting, the GZA, Red Sparowes, Danzig, Melt Banana, it’s going to be something else.
I am definitely doing SXSW next year, hopefully you guys get to play something there, it sounds like a great party.
Sounds like a blast
Especially Melt Banana…talk about explosive.

One of my greatest regrets in life?
My friend bought me a ticket to the Mars Volta a few years back because I loved ATDI and someone outside the venue offered me $100 for my ticket. I didn’t have a ride back home so I kept it. And stood miserably as they played 3 “songs” over the course of 2 1/2 hours surrounded by hipsters claiming we were watching “the Greatest Band on Earth”.
Ugh.
I want that part of my life back. Honest.
If that's
one of your greatest regrets in life, consider yourself to be truly lucky.

If embarrassing batters was illegal, he’d be serving life.
My 2 cents, a bit 2 late
The Rockies need some oldschool purple/white striped high socks. The team’s problem is it’s lack of swagger. I feel strongly that these socks will provide the swagger necessary to tap the potential that are the Rockies.
Also what kind of a title should I put for us?
Purple Row by itself seems sufficient, but should I add something like Purple Row: The Best Rockies Coverage or what?

leblanc (the guy without a picture who is pitching for the pads)
is batting for himself in the 8th with a runner on…
does this say more about the pads bullpen, or the giants hitting??
Both?
Or maybe the Pads bench….

You sure that wasn't Larry Craig?
I mean, you’d need a pretty wide stance for that…

There are those who say...
….people who post on teh internets too much fail at life.
I disagree.
But then, I have around 3,000 posts, so I can still aspire to be just like you.
Stay Chatty, SDCat09

Dunno, frankly...but we're a law firm, what do you do?
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Unfortunately, I think the answer would be "no"
We have a very small IT department here…

this is probably inappropriate conversation anyway…:)

I have
a funny feeling that my ADD has something to do with it, too.

Haha
I just remembered that on Monday, after the Giants beat the Padres in the first game, I was driving home and I had their post-game call-in show on. Some dude called in and said something like, “After we sweep the Padres, which looks likely…” LOL
Ahhh, the pride goeth before the fall...

Perfect symmetry
3.5 behind the Dodgers, 3.5 ahead of the Gnats
Too bad we’ll be destroying the symmetry when we pick up a game tonight.

I'll say this...we better not underestimate the Padres...
Yorvit! GOT STREAK?!
Hawpeye needs to get some hits and runs.
Yeah, I was thinking the same.
It kind of looks like the Giants weren’t really focusing on this series.
Well, we'll be playing them in PetCo.
I don’t think any team can underestimate them when playing in that park.
yep...although
The Rox have had some success there…seems like Atty and CDI do well there

Hawpeye needs to get some hits and runs.
And we've done well against the Pads this season
Just need to keep up the good work
