Jason Hammel needs to re-find the cool after nine to five loss

by Rox Girl on Apr 16, 2010 10:43 PM MDT in Rockies Game Wraps

It goes without saying that we would like the second inning back:

Final - 4.16.2010	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Colorado Rockies	0	0	0	1	3	0	1	0	0	5	9	0
Atlanta Braves	0	7	1	0	1	0	0	0	X	9	13	1
WP: Derek Lowe (3 - 0) LP: Jason Hammel (0 - 1)

5 - 5

Games Back: 2.5

Streak: Lost 2

Games Left: 152

Also, there were unicorns sighted with Seth Smith's three run home run. And Troy Tulowitzki had his second straight two hit day, Miley Cyrus really is paying off for him.

Yeah, this recap really is going to be this short.

I vowed earlier today not to go back to FanGraphs until after the Memorial golf tournament, the invasive banner ad of which spurred my decision.

What happened with FanGraphs?

I’ll just need to get over my getting irked about not being able to look stuff up very quickly

It might be my browser.

I don’t know. I just got kind of peeved.

Pretty disappointed

with the last couple of days but I still think we will be okay. I have the feeling that the team might be pressing a bit to live up to expectations. I think that once the first winning streak comes, everyone will relax and start playing consistently good baseball again.

It’s easy to be upset after a game like this, but you have to stay positive. It’s a long season. Go Rockies!!!!!

I think that picture of Hammel kinda says it all !

And to think I was extremely disappointed yesterday

that I was too late to start Hammel on my fantasy team

My fantasy partner

is killing me for drafting hammel and is forcing us to drop him already. Hard to argue, you aren’t going to win much when you get sandblasted in at least one inning per start. Hopefully he can get it together, and soon.

Pitching and defense. Pitching and defense. When we lose, we are lacking.

i can only hope he regains that incredible control he had last season

As for the comments, at least a few hundred were about the Avs game

To be fair, like 600 of those comments were about the Avs after the Rockies game was over

And 1 was just a unicorn coming in to grumble about kids these days.

That is a mistake

You NEVER drop a pitcher in fantasy baseball over 2 starts.

TULO MVP 2010, Gold Glove 2010-2024 (The last 3 on merit rather than skill) HOF 2029 on the fact he breaks Bond's HR record in 2017 while voluntarily submitting blood tests for HCG

Yay for Floyd Little HOF . Now lets get Sharpe, Davis, Atwater, Smith, Gradishar, Tom Jackson and all the other Broncos greats in there.

you do

in head to head leagues where winning each week is the goal. And he’s a 20th round flyer that has been awful and better options are available. I certainly hope he makes me eat this.

by Teekalong on Apr 17, 2010 10:56 AM MDT up reply actions

Hammel will turn it around. One bad outing

I have faith that he’ll be just fine as soon as he fixes whatever is broken. Of course, not gettting any outside corners didn’t help yesterday either. Just sayin"
