Angels 10, Rockies 3: Colorado Outhits Anaheim, But That's Not What Matters

As Jorge de la Rosa nears his return, the interesting story has been the two pitchers he could replace in the rotation.  Yesterday, Aaron Cook (who had been statistically the least effective) pitched quite possibly the most dominant 4-run outing in club history.  Jhoulys Chacin followed suit today, with most definitely the Rockies' most dominant "five-run" outing today (his FIP for the outing was 2.87, two full runs below Edwin Jackson's no-hitter....funny this game...).

The Rockies' 22-year-old rookie finished six innings with 12 strikeouts, just two shy of the franchise record.  He completely dominated the Angels the first time through the lineup, striking out his first five outs and six of the first nine batters.  After splitting two strikeouts with a Bobby Abreu triple in the fourth inning, Chacin began "unearning" the game.  Hideki Matsui rapped a two-out single for the Angels' first tally, then Ian Stewart's second fielding error in as many days set up a three-run home run from Mike Napoli.


39 - 36

6

Lost 2

87


The Rockies would score on an Ian Stewart solo home run, a Jason Giambi bloop double and Clint Barmes single.  But the three runs would not be enough to overcome the three unearned runs as a result of Stewart's gaffe and the bullpen's implosion in the eighth inning.

The Rockies' Latin duo in the pen continues to struggle.  Franklin Morales allowed a walk and single in the eighth.  Then Manuel Corpas permitted a double, intentional walk and grand slam to Brandon Wood.  Yes really.....Brandon freaking Wood.  

The result is a series loss against the Angels and a 3-3 week after beginning 3-1.  Still, in the grand scope of the week, it has to be considered a success.  Facing the Red Sox and Angels is a difficult slate for a short-manned team who is using a 22-year-old for one third of their games.  

Carlos Gonzalez singled three times, Jonathan Herrera led off the game with a single to extend his hitting streak to nine games, and Chris Iannetta singled (and came mere feet from a game-tying home run).

This was one of the more frustrating games to watch all year...

There just aren’t two consecutive numbers anywhere on the box score that make any sense — I can’t even explain it.

And the sputtering offense is really just a small part of it. Santana had a good day on the mound and it was nearly impossible to string any runs together — fine. But in a game like this, when your rookie pitcher has 12 strikeouts, your defense has to be good enough to hang in the game with the other guy. Ian Stewart was single-handedly responsible for A LOT of runs crossing the plate tonight with 2-out mental mistakes. And Seth Smith just doesn’t know how to cut his losses in the outfield: that throw home last night and letting the ball bounce right past him today just aren’t mistakes professionals make. Then consider the kind of swings he’s making at the plate, and I just cringe knowing he has to be in the lineup right now.

I really hope Hawpe isn’t missing any more time, because his bat removed from the order just perpetuates the vortex of suck already there created by Tulowitzki’s absence.

Even then, if the team is only going to score 3 runs a game, the defense has GOT to get better, and I can’t think of a better solution than Dexter Fowler. Send Nelson back down, where he’s actually going to get AB’s, and if something happens to Herrera or Barmes, I’m willing to watch Mora play middle infield for 1/2 a game before a roster move is made — not that big of a deal. Fowler’s defense, speed on the base path, and bunting ability just seems like it would be an asset to the club right now.

Yikes…ranting.

by jmpmk2 on Jun 27, 2010 5:31 PM MDT reply actions  

Yeah, what was the point of promoting Nelson?

So he could sit and watch doing nothing, instead of at least getting AB’s in the Springs?

by TehChamp on Jun 27, 2010 6:00 PM MDT up reply actions  

there is no way the club could have forseen Herrera's performance the last nine games

The idea was for him to start much more, but Herrera has deserved to be out there.

Fowler back with the big club could just be what we need. Send down Nelson because they don’t even seem to have a spot for him to play.

Seth Smith is in a nasty little slump. Also, I think Nelson needs a real look.

Rodger Dorn was fictional and is therefore discountable.

 Stewart hits a home run and is a hero; he doesn’t hit a home run and he’s a bum. That’s when his glove shows up. If Todd is going to mostly hit singles for the rest of his career: The Rox have to get a contact bat with at least 2B power to clear him and anyone home. Cargo and Tulo haven’t been enough and Hawpe is now hurt too.

 If the Rox are not going to look outside the orginization; I say DL Hawpe and bring up Garner. He has a nose for the RBI (I Think). Let’s see if he can hit MLB pitching.

This game is seriously hampering my ability to complete the NLWR

I initially wrote that the Dodgers lost this series (expecting them to), meaning they lost their last 4 interleague series. Then it looked like they won, so I rewrote it. Now revising again

A house down the street has a broken stretch of fence.

Their dog, a chihuahua mix (that is bigger than my dogs) was out in the yard—-and ran out through the gaping hole. Attacked them. I think they’re ok. Galileo screamed—I think he hurt his leg.

But those people picked the wrong person to mess with! I work in an institution that deals with the sort of stuff on a daily basis. I know exactly who to call and what to do. The police have already been here, and there’s more to come tomorrow.

but as the dog’s circling radius went from 15’ to 8’, I freaked and just dialed 911.

When I was around 9 or 10 we had a dog

and she got attacked by my friend’s dog right in front of me—my mom and my friend’s sister had to pull them apart (it was weird; her dog was always so lazy and had never showed even the smallest sign that he might do something like that). She had a gash on her back leg, but eventually recovered.

But I was totally traumatized and after that I couldn’t walk her by myself. I was too scared whenever another dog was around.

by holly96 on Jun 27, 2010 10:13 PM MDT up reply actions  

I know that my dogs can sometimes be a little iffy, especially if they're around unfamiliar dogs.

Which is why I walk them on non-extending leashes and on harnesses, so that I can control them if I need to.

The blatant disregard I see from people, especially if they know their dogs are aggressive, astounds me.

I've known pit bulls that are sweet as pie.

And I’ve seen a Labrador retriever try and kill a small child through a glass door.

Some breeds are more predisposed to aggression, but the way they are raised, so to speak, plays a huge role in it as well.
