Rockies Go Meekly Into the Offseason, Lose 6-1

The Rockies trotted out a AAA lineup today against Jeff Suppan and the St. Louis Cardinals. The results, a 6-1 loss this afternoon in which Colorado was 0-7 with RISP, were predictable. Esmil Rogers (2-3) took the loss with two earned runs in four innings pitched, but really
Positive notes: Dexter Fowler finished the season strong with a 2-3 day and provided the Rockies' only offense with an eighth inning solo shot (6), while Clint Barmes went 2-4 with a double in what was likely his final appearance in a Colorado uniform.
Not positive: Michael McKenry got his first start and hit third, which was nice, but he also got his first Golden Sombrero (0-4, 4 Ks), which was not so nice. Chris Iannetta finished below the Mendoza line (.197 BA). Jeff Francis, another Rockie making perhaps his last appearance for the team, had a forgettable first relieving appearance. Chris Nelson had one of the more horrific errors in judgment that I've ever seen in a MLB game to give St. Louis its first two runs. And the list goes on.
This is the opposite of closing the season on a high note, with the Rockies losing 13 of their last 14 games to fall to 83-79 on the season. Fun fact: that's the same streak the CSU Rams football team are currently on. Colorado didn't score for 30.1 straight innings in this series.
Of course, we all know that Octavio Dotel is the problem. As Yokel has pointed out in his FanPost, the Rockies' losing streak began the first night he pitched for the team. Dude is like Kryptonite.
Just because the Rockies' season is over, please don't go away from Purple Row. We'll have playoff coverage as well as a bevy of articles reviewing the season and previewing the offseason.
Graph:
We Salute: Barmes (.120 WPA), Fowler (.032)
We Are Disappointed In: Rogers (-.209), Ian Stewart (-.203), McKenry (-.103)

Even though they ended with a fizzle
the Rockies brought some great moments this year and I still feel we have several good seasons to come.

This mirrors 2007
In ’07 the Rockies finished the regular season by winning 13 of their last 14 games to make the playoffs.
This year they lose 13 of their last 14 to fall out of the playoff race.
ANOTHER fun fact note… Colorado, with its extended roster, had exactly 1 RBI for the team in the entire STL series. To expand on that, it truely seems Fowler was the only Rockie that remembered to bring his bat to STL. He scored both of the runs while everyone else gave up at the plate for the final series. And in both runs he had to do it 100% himself with ZERO help from his teammates. (he was also stranded at third a couple times in the failure to get Jimenez his 20th win)

What a disaster
Finishing the season 1-13 is something that shouldn’t happen to any team, nevermind one that just went 13-2 to get into a good position to make the postseason.
These last two weeks were a complete disgrace; NOTHING LESS!!!!!!
I’m almost embarrassed to call myself a Rockie fan right now.

Granted, the last two weeks have been disappointing for Rockies fans.
It could have been worse. They could have been the Dayton Dragons, the Reds Single-A affiliate, who lost 24 straight home games this season (from June 29th to August 13th), and finished 53-85 on the season.
That's terrible.

What a sad, inglorious end to to 2010
2 runs in 4 games. Against a team with nothing to play for either. Losing 13 of your last 14. Revolting. I never thought I’d see this particular team play this poorly. I’m hoping that every single member of this team, coaching staff, and FO types spend this off season reflecting on these last two weeks and what the hell went wrong. Then work their butts off to fix it.
Still. The Rox are my team. I know I’ll be as hyped as I always am when pitchers and catchers report in February, 2011. I love ‘em, and I’ll believe in my heart that next year is gonna be THE year.
Get your purple on.
I feel so blah now...such a sad thing, the way our boys folded.

man this is not the way to end the season
Remember back when we played the series in Colorado against the Cards? What did we do to them? We came back twice BIG TIME with the 6 and 9 run comebacks. Think they had a little revenge on their minds. I would bet so. But, we did bring whiffle ball bats to Busch. Only one who brought it as mentioned in the post was Fowler. Why, oh why, did the season have to end like this? Maybe the acquisition of Dotel did have something to do with it? I was against the pickup as soon as I heard about it. Some folks think it was a good one. I say nope.
But there were big wins this year. Took 2 of 3 from the BoSox in OUR house. Remember Cargo’s walkoff homer for the cycle to bear the Cubs against Sean Marshall. I still have that recorded on my DVR probably always will and I watch it every night knowing that our guys had the capability to these kind of things. I was proud to be part of the crowd to watch Chacin’s gem, and Beimel strikeout David Ortiz with 2 outs and the bases loaded. That was the loudest I had ever Coors except for the night against the Giants when Tulo hit the walk off double to score Cargo. Man oh man, I was so proud of our guys that night. They never gave up and persisted through that game.
Another interesting note, we started losing all these games when Cargo got his wrist hurt. His offensive numbers went down as did the team. How can one man carry a team and expect to win. Tulo is GREAT. But, he can’t carry the team either on his own. They needed the season to be over, I hate to say that, but IF we would’ve made the playoffs and the way our pitching was. We probably would’ve gotten bounced out in the first round.
Well, that’s it for a 2010 Colorado Rockies season, let’s take some time off, come back in Feburary and March. Work hard and get ready to make a HUGE run for ROCKTOBER 2011. Only thing I have to say is: Watch out D-Backs, April 1, 2011. Because OUR Rockies coming back for a little revenge of OUR own.
I really hope the Rockies get a little extra motivation by the way they finished
It would be nice to see them play to their potential all season long next year.

I totatlly agree but our core players are returning. UBALL, TULO, and CARGO.
I would love to see them pick up a name or two in the offseason. They HAVE to retain JDLR, and I would keep Iannetta and say bye to Olivo. I hope they keep Mora, he may be old but the guy can still play. HE wasn’t a starting 3rd baseman for Baltimore for nothing. Stewart hasn’t lived up to the billing that everyone was putting on him before the year started. They can’t let the disappointing end to this year affect next year. I do believe that Don Baylor has to go. It seemed he wasn’t even trying to help our guys. We had no patience at the plate. This was a BIG downfall at the plate except for Cargo and Tulo, the stats show that they are better with the 1st and 2nd pitches. Season’s over, let’s rebuild for next year and go out and kick some ass.
You over-psychoanalyze things WAY too much.

Now for my real response.
1) If this team can’t get it’s act together enough, why would any one of any talent want to stay here? I’m looking at management.
2) It’s really not much psychoanalysis at all. It’s pretty much a gut reaction to seeing something so disappointing happen.
3) Money talks. But opportunity for winning talks louder for many players.

But you presume that those people with talent aren't part of the problem this year.
And you also presume that they look at the rest of the team and see no talent.
I think most of the talented players would absolutely include themselves as part of the problem, at least to some degree. I think they would also say there is a lot of talent on the team. It’s not as if you’ve got a couple supremely talented players and management is surrounding them with AAA players. That’s not accurate at all, so I don’t know why any player would point the finger at management after this season and want to bail. There are too many other factors. And if someone did have that attitude, I would be sorely disappointed and my opinion of them would suffer. This is not to say that such a reaction down the road would be unwarranted pending moves of the front office. I just absolutely do not believe it would be be justifiable at this point in time.
I did not intend to insinuate that
the team is stacked with AAA players. Although you did cause me to think about it from that perspective. Maybe some of our organizational guys are more AAAA than MLB.
1) CDI – I think either he’s not that good at adjusting to MLB pitching or he’s a bit of a headcase. It’s a puzzlement. Maybe he’s really not as good as we all hoped and wanted. Or he’s frustrated at not being able to make the jump or is being blocked by Tracy.
2) Stewart – He’s more puzzling than CDI. They guy has such a great glove and can utterly crush the ball when he makes good contact. Yet he’s not really adjusted to the adjustments he sees from the pitchers. And yes he’s been hurt. So I won’t entirely dismiss him.
3) Seth Smith – This is one guy that I just don’t think is starter material.
I’m more concerned with the leadership from Tracy.
There is something rotten in Denmark. We saw that in the last of the season. The buck stops with Tracy and DOD.

QPU #4, YHEG #4, Proud Member PR Gynocracy
I mostly agree with your assessments here, Cat
but I think you’re taking too pessimistic a track with them. All of these players are at least fringe starter-worthy at the MLB level at their positions, Stewart’s at least an average starter, and CDI may be as well (it’s a pretty low threshold for catchers). At worst they’re front-line bench players, so to suggest AAAA with any of these three is extreme and too harsh an assessment.
I think this is pushing you into that “next year could be worse” sentiment, which is frankly unlikely without a major injury to one of our three stars.

This is probably fair. I do feel pessimistic. Mostly because
last year I thought well, they’re young still but next year they’ll have more experience. They’re bound to be better. And if anything they stayed the same or regressed. I want to know why! And I don’t think Baylor is entirely to blame.
PS I feel honored that you agree with some of my assessment :)

Based solely on their individual stats, you may be right
that these guys are starter-worthy. But, with the possible exception of CDI, I don’t think any of these guys are a good fit for the team as it is currently constituted.

It was interesting to hear Dick Enberg's take.
Paraphrasing, but he basically said, maybe it’s good for the Padres to watch that and be motivated at what it must be like to have a taste of the prize and to celebrate. It was kind of harsh but true.
I think the Rockies got their taste of that when Papelbon did his little jig at Coors Field.

My position is weird
The Wild Card is acknowledged and in my opinion should be ackknowledged with the system that’s in place because there’s really almost no difference between winning the Wild Card and winning the division.
However I believe the system should be tweaked to make winning the division much more important than winning the Wild Card

Works for me
It’s good to get to the playoffs, but the shirts, etc. really are dumb. If I was a Rockies player, I’d refuse to wear it. Nothing like wearing something that screams “WE’RE #4!”

Eh...
My wife has a Rockies “NL Wild Card ’07” hoodie. I think she got it on clearance after the World Series.
But I would definitely agree that “Wild Card Champion” is a contradiction in terms.
I'm still wearing mine
actually it might just be 2007 playoffs, but it’s a good hoodie. Solid quality, the print hasn’t faded or anything.
One of my favorite purchases.

I think it's mostly fair, though with not much we haven't already heard.
Big thumbs down to John Perrotto of Baseball Prospectus for the humidor comment, though.
I think the comparison to the Cardinals is pretty accurate
Both should have made the playoffs if playing at their level, both had division rivals that overacheived (Reds, Padres), both have two great hitters at the 3 and 4 holes, and both have good rotations.
I still say the Padres didn't overachieve.
They started jelling in the 2nd half of last season, but had fallen so far behind they couldn’t recover.

They have a good team to be sure but
who would have thought it would all gel this year?

I did a little bit. They won every series after the ASB last year…..

You are biased living in SD
they are not a good team, just severe overachievers. Who still while playing way over their heads still can’t make the playoffs.
"Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams."
Biased? How? I'm a Rockies fan through and through..
I don’t really listen to much if any sports talk radio here. In fact, I listen online to Denver’s sports radio. But I did watch a few games last year and watched them get better and better.
If you want to discount their success in the 2nd half of last season. And you want to disregard their top notch pitching go ahead. They played small ball to win. And they did.
I don’t really even like the Padres per se. And I don’t root for them unless it helps the Rockies or would have resulted in the Giants demise.
Not sure where you get the biased thing from at all. In fact, I spent Feb through July in Denver this year.

It is because
you defend their “ability” more than any other person I have come in contact with. I can’t find any other reason than you have a soft spot because you live in SD.
Also just because you are a Rockies fan doesn’t mean you aren’t biased when it comes to another team.
"Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams."
Is it possible that I'm actually a little bit right?
It has 0 to do with where I live. If I lived in Colorado I would still have the same assessment.

Okay let me see if I can address all of these
Fine you aren’t biased due to the fact you live in SD but you do seem to have an opinion that very very few share. This you cannot deny. I just assumed it was due to the fact you live in SD and not the fact you……
"Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams."
And do you come into contact with every other fan who has an opinion about the Padres
that might be biased against them because they are a division rival?

Most people I come in contact with about this
are from the midwest (grew up in MN and IL). The Rox fans I come in contact with are mostly (95%) from this site. You can be the judge of Rowbots and whether or not they are biased to the Padres based on division rivals. I personally don’t think so.
"Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams."
And another thing. How can you deny their pitching? Especially their bullpen.
I don’t particularly even like the Padres. I just don’t think you can dismiss them as a fluke.

I can deny their rotation
Richard is good, and Latos was good until September, but that was about it. The bullpen was legit though. Still, bullpen arms rarely rebound consistently, so I wouldn’t expect their greatest strength to return

Amen
WAR has their rotation as OK, their bullpen as the best.
And their offense as being 5 wins better than the Rockies

What ATF and hjrrockies said, plus much more
I just don’t see what you see in them. I was guess my comment was “over-psychoanalyzing”. I am sorry for calling you baised based on the fact you live in SD and defend them.

So at season's end
It’s Padres who are burned by the infamous Braves game and not the Rockies. If the ump get that call right, the Pads are in a play in game tomorrow.

I was thinking that the Giants had the Rockies record over the Padres to thank for their division championship.
Though with 162 games, it’s hard to blame any bunch of series.
"Are they called the Rockies because they rock?" - 7 y.o.
Except that last year, we cost ourselves the division directly by how we played against the Dodgers
Considering it was the Dodgers who ended up with the division crown, and we were, like, 6-12 against them.
So let's just win 12 more games next year, mmmkay?
Will the Giants complain about the non-humidor balls in Citizens Bank Ballpark when they lose there, too?
TWINS FOR THE WINS, I guess!
Fantastic point

I saw the times and though: yay, I'll be able to watch the Twins.
And then I realized that nobody was arranging schedules to let people in the Mountain Time Zone watch the Twins…
(Yankees games will be after bedtime for my nephews in Connecticut, though.)
"Are they called the Rockies because they rock?" - 7 y.o.
Hmmm...
I feel horrible, because all I want to do right now is to assign blame to various people involved with the team. I hate letdowns.
Can we have a vent-fest day on some Rockpile (not that they already aren’t…)? Like an official one, so we can all just get the negative energy out and rest easy for 5 months.

Hey we finished with the 17th worst record
does that mean we get pick 17 in next years draft? And is that pick a protected one if we sign a type A?
"These are thin mints. I put them in the freezer. My favorites. So good."
--Reds outfielder Adam Dunn, on the girl scout cookies he keeps in his locker
Let's see here.
The first 15 actual picks are protected, and the Dbacks, Padres and Brewers all failed to sign their picks in 2010. The Dbacks and Brewers get two picks ahead of us due to 2011 record AND compensation from failed picks in 2010, and the Padres just get compensation for Whitson. So I believe that would mean we get pick #19, with the first 17 protected. So I think our pick would be the first one NOT protected. Though it’s late and I could easily be making a mistake here.
Actually, this link says we get pick #20

yea
I doubt pick 20 is protected. That’ll be a bummer if we sign someone like victor martinez since next years draft is supposedly a deep one…

Well that was a lame ending to the season
Go Reds. Was a Reds fan prior to 1993.
Enough of this mediocrity...win the NL West title!
A disappointing end to a disappointing season
And the playoff picture is uniformly uninteresting, at least to me. I think I’ll pull for the Rangers or the Rays.
