Thursday Rockpile: Real fake baseball starts for the Rockies today

PrintWOOT! Meaningless Rockies baseball finally starts!
Todd Helton and Jason Giambi get the week off. Also noted are improvements in the condition of Huston Street and Brad Hawpe, and the return from a stomach virus of Dexter Fowler, who appeared "weak and tired".
I'll have more about this later in a game thread, but without Helton, Giambi, Hawpe, Troy Tulowitzki or Clint Barmes, the Rockies roster for today's game skews toward the young and newly signed. Jason Hammel will get the start against Billy Buckner.
Troy Renck answered reader questions in a mailbag, highlights include Mike from Parker revealing to the world that he doesn't understand player aging curves (or perhaps how to value MLB players in the first place) and Renck's opinions that exhibition stats and push-up bras are deceptive.
While the Rockies don't start their exhibition schedule until today, a couple of their rivals are already underway. Notably, the Giants opened their Spring with an 8-7 win over the Mariners yesterday. Reports had the fastball velocities of Tim Lincecum and Madison Bumgarner as lower than normal, and Lincecum threw only out of the stretch for his one inning of work as he corrects flaws in his elaborate delivery. I'm not getting my hopes up in either case of the pitchers not being ready for the regular season, but this does give us something to keep an eye on.
The Dodgers also start their Spring schedule today, but yesterday they signed Garrett Anderson to a minor league deal. With Brian Giles and Doug Mientkiewicz looking somewhat iffy as left handed bench players, the Dodgers thought it wise to add one more.

Posted in the old rockpile, but Renck has the lineup
2B Eric Young Jr.
1B Paul Lo Duca (he’s been talking groundballs here)
CF Carlos Gonzalez
RF Ryan Spilborghs
LF Seth Smith
C Chris Iannetta
3B Ian Stewart
SS Jonathan Herrera
RHP Jason Hammel (Jorge De La Rosa will follow him).
Hey look Cargo is batting third
That’ll make a lot of people happy around here

And Spilly batting cleanup. Seems like those two should be reversed.
Spring Training lineups are fun.
I am surprised they didn't agree to use the DH rule.
Early in Spring, they usually do.
by Greg Stanwood on Mar 4, 2010 9:23 AM MST up reply actions
I'm guessing they didn't
Because they’ll just be PH for the pitcher everytime, unless of course we blow though the lineup in the first inning.
by Chacinisthefuture on Mar 4, 2010 9:27 AM MST up reply actions
Pitchers are scheduled to pitch a certain number of innings.
For example, both Hammel and DLR are scheduled to pitch two. They’re not going to PH for them if they’ve only pitched one of their scheduled innings.
by Greg Stanwood on Mar 4, 2010 9:30 AM MST up reply actions
True
They could still put a DH in there, they’re probably still talking about it.
by Chacinisthefuture on Mar 4, 2010 9:33 AM MST up reply actions
That may indeed be.
I just would’ve thought that’d be mentioned somewhere in Renck’s post about the lineup. We’ll see in a few hours.

Purple Fever is a highly contagious virus,
known to spread quickly throughout the state of Colorado in early March.
Its symptoms include lightheadedness, lack of focus, rushes of emotion, and, most notably, dementia.
Those infected have been prone to making random, nonsensical exclamations and chants, such as: “I Spilly Spilly!”, “Dreamy/Doomy!”, “Cargo’s LAZOR!”, and, most prevalently, a series of rhythmic claps followed by “TU-LO!”
If caught, recommended treatment for Purple Fever is bedrest, preferably while watching baseball.
Push up bras are deceptive?!
This thread is worthless without pictorial evidence!
And I’ll say it before anyone else does…cree.p.
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.

I don't think they're deceptive at all
They make some pretty accurate calls about the mental issues of the wearer ;)

It is interesting to me that men seem to feel that push-ups are for their benefit
and it might be true to some extent, but I think most women who wear them do so for their own confidence and the fit/look of their blouses or tops first, with the idea that they’re going to be ogled more as a secondary consideration. Of course, I only know this anecdotally, from what I’ve heard, you know, because I’d never wear one myself. No need really. My body’s absolutely perfect in every way. Uhm-hm…
Err… I’ll just shut up now.
It's a minefield, the whole "I'm just dressing for myself" area
First of all, men can’t possibly know how women (or indeed, other men) feel about such things.
But more importantly, I think, there’s no such thing as a vacuum in which people do just dress for themselves. Perhaps the best example is how we dress when we’re spending time on our own, at home, with no reason to go out or expect company. You can bet your bottom dollar I don’t want people seeing me in that state!
So yes, we dress for our own confidence, but whether that confidence is affected negligibly by the gaze of other people or otherwise (and then the sub-categories – peer approval, fashion knowledge, sexual display, or whatever) is something we can only know if we’re truly honest with ourselves and even then, how can you quantify it?
I know that every time I go out, I will be aware of how I appear to people in an attraction sense. I know this is vanity/self-absorption, but it’s still true. I’m pretty sure most people are less vain than me, but every choice we make, buying clothes, wearing clothes, taking off clothes (in public – you guys all do that, right?) has its basis at least influenced by the third-party gaze.
This is sort of getting to my point
In the end, is anything we wear outside that home loungewear not deceptive in some way? What then, exactly, does it say about the “mental issues” of the wearer other than that they are just like everybody else? Why single out push-up bras unless you as a man feel particularly slighted that women are deliberately trying to be misleading personally and uncomfortably intimately, to you, and not the whole world in general? And do we really want to live in a world with that kind of stark honesty, as it would go contrary to most of our developed aesthetics? Most people would find it pretty repulsive, I imagine.
Anyway, we better stop this here before the discussion evolves into the utility of neckties, as there’s nothing but pain down that road.
Why did my discussion of neckties upset people so?

By mental issues I meant "thought processes" rather than anything negative
But, you’re right – why single them out? I guess because they are specifically designed (in part) and marketed (almost entirely) for their role in making the wearer more sexually attractive. But it was a lame attempt at humour and you’re right to question it.

I posted for about the last ten days of the season last year (about three weeks after I joined)
I guess that makes me a September call up.

I'm in class until 12:15, so I miss the beginning. Then I have to go to another class at 1:45.

I'm really ticked I missed the

Which is, as I said earlier, why you always go with a half on over/under setting

I see you want an escape from the conversation here
While still being able to talk about meaningless games that are even more meaningless cause they aren’t Rockies baseball
by Chacinisthefuture on Mar 4, 2010 11:21 AM MST up reply actions
Why don't you just make one right now
And we can talk about the current games plus the Rockies game?

If the gamethread is more that just the Rockies games...
then i think you have to void all bets. This is new information!
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
The next game thread that it actually all about the Rockies game...
….will be the first.
FIRST!

Woo, real fake baseball
There’d better be a game thread, probably three quarters of my comments across all SB nation blogs are during purple row spring training game thread posts.
Is Jerry Angelo fired yet?
Is Vinny Del Negro fired yet?
there will be

this woman wearing a Rockies fleece behind me
turns out she is a Red Wings fan, and an obnoxious one at that. I was hoping it wasn’t you that I schooled by referencing the Zetterberg contract.
Iron Maiden? Excellent!
i am a man lol
the girl in the picture is my girl friend…what happen with her? haha

ah ha
I just assumed you were the girl. sorry about that…
well the Wings ended up winning, good game though.
She was arguing that the oldest team in the league (Wings) with players signed for 7M+ through 2019 had a brighter future than the youngest team in the league (Avs) who have almost 25M in cap space for the forseeable future. I found it funny
Iron Maiden? Excellent!
yea i watched the game...
well we are technically the oldest team in the league but a lot of our core players have many years left and we have a lot of young talent…but yes the Avs have a good future ahead of them too…we are finally fully healthy for the first time all year…the Sharks better hope we don’t make the playoffs and face them in the 1st round

haha yeah what a joke of a team
when playoff time comes…they are going to have the most pressure of any team in the playoffs this year by far them and the Caps.

they've handled the pressure well the last 4 years
by removing themselves from the equation. Hockey fans everywhere should thank them for that.
Iron Maiden? Excellent!
yep they have
become consistently non existent come playoff time

i would like to attend a wings/avs game sometime in the future though…even though the rivalry isn’t nearly as heated as it once was.
