Rockies 4, Reds 3: Seth Smith, Mr. Late Night, wins game in bottom of the ninth with walkoff two-run single

Seth Smith continues to deliver in the clutch.

Seth Smith continues to deliver in the clutch.

80-60. Let's just take that in for a moment.

80-60. The Rockies are 80-60. Twenty games above .500 for the first time ever.

How good does it feel to be a Rockies fan right now? How good does it feel to be Seth Smith now? If you don't have a positive answer to either of those questions you might just be one of our "friends" from MCC. No, no, no. You are one of our "friends" from MCC. Well, good luck with all of that.

Back to the game. It's the bottom of the ninth and the Rockies are down 2-3. Scott Rolen had just hit a homer in the top half of the inning to put the Reds ahead. Yorvit Torrealba, despite his hitting exploits of late, predictably recorded an out quickly. Then Clint Barmes knocked out a double. Tying run on second. The Giambino works a walk. Ryan Spilborghs walks (we spilly you, Ryan. Or is it we Smitty you, now?) KarGo and two outs now. Seth Smith steps to the plate with the leverage index being a hefty 10.87. The count is 3-2 after seven pitches. BAM!!! One run scores, the second baseman can't field the ball to make a throw, a second run scores! The Rockies win! The Rockies win!

That's how it feels to be a Rockie, to be a Rockies fan right now. Knowing that a comeback is possible, that Mr. Late Night continues to appear. These aren't your Rockies of old; these are your Rockies who have learned to eat soup with a knife.

A bit lost in yet another amazing comeback was Jason Hammel's super solid start: 7 1/3 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 8 K. Unfortunately, he didn't factor in the decision, but Matt Daley picked up his first career win.

Onward and upward!

LOL
If the Rockies lose the next 7 games or so i’d believe again, as long as the giants keep winning

Um, don’t the Giants have to start winning before they keep winning?

And this:

6 out of 9

I feel like, at the minimum, we have to win 6 out of the next 9 vs. LA and Colorado to give us a chance at the wild card. Anything less and it’s basically over. Agree/disagree?

I got to watch the game

at a restaurant in town and was with twenty of my friends celebrating my roommates 21st birthday…One of my buddies is a twins fan who is giving me crap about the tie game(I assure him a twins fan can not give me crap) and then Scott Rolen hits a bomb So at this point im pretty angry. Bases loaded and I’m telling all my buddies who care about how amazing Seth Smith is, bam what does he do walk off infield single. I cheer and lean over to my twins fan who can’t believe a two run walk off infield single just occured and I say one simple word…DESTINY

Suffering is relative. You could be a Pirates, Royals, or Orioles fan. ;-)

Even at our worst, Rox teams are never worse than mediocre…never worse than a 95 loss season, and that was the inaugural season.

Another way to put it...

only three times have we gone worse than 72-90.

That’s certainly nothing to be proud of, but very rarely has this club been truly bad, as in national embarrassment bad.

After two IBBs, a walk-off walk was absolutely perfect. AND no Dbacks player had to get a hit for it to occur.

now that I think about it

it seems like pretty bad strategy to have the second IBB there. even though that second run doesn’t count I wouldn’t load the bases where a walk will make you lose

I've been right so often lately

I don’t want to brag too much on my super genius baseball brain. I mean being right as much as I have lately does make others feel inferior, and while hard, I should be humble to some extent, though when you are as great as I am, being humble is hard, but I’m great enough to do it

Okay, yeah.

I’m catching the replay now. But whatever. They’ve been pretty good lately about keeping the Rockies and Giants games pretty early (like first five minutes) lately. I suspect because we’ve created some distance, it’s not quite as big a story, which I get. And there is a lot of other stuff going on.

I decided to head down to the game today on a whim.

What an amazing 9th inning! When Sef Smif came up, I finally convinced my friend to turn his expensive, fitted Rockies hat into a rally cap. Boy, did that ever work! That ball had 20/20 vision through that infield!

Let’s make it a 2.0 game deficit and 4.5 game lead tomorrow boyz! WOOOOOOO

Personally

I’m hoping for the Giants to win 2 of the 3. No sweep either way, please. I want the division. I don’t care what anyone says. The Rockies have never won a division title….EVER. Coming from where they were at to winning the Division would be one of the greatest turn around/comebacks of all time.

While the playoffs, and the Wild Card are great….I want ALL the Cinderella Story

I kind of felt this way in 2007.

I was pumped about the playoffs, but “2007 Wilcard…winners” isn’t much of a banner. Then they beat the Phillies, there’s still not a lot you can put on a banner. So winning the NL was huge.

Root for the Giants to take two of three.

I say that this is the time to go for the Dodgers’ throat. We’re close enough to the Dodgers now, and opened enough separation against SF, that I think winning the division is a reasonable goal—still a bit of a long shot, but a good goal.
