Reds 8, Rockies 1: Yuck

Well, the less said about this one, the better.

A Latin pitcher recently returned from the DL pitched his team to victory tonight. Unfortunately for Colorado, it was Edinson Volquez who looked sharp in his return from injury/drug suspension. Volquez (1-0) only allowed a first-inning Carlos Gonzalez RBI single in his six innings of work, striking out nine Rockies.

Meanwhile, his counterpart Jorge De La Rosa (3-2) was roughed up for seven runs in 3.1 IP, including a worrisome five walks and three home runs allowed. The Reds only had five hits on the night, but four of them left the yard (two by Drew Stubbs). On the bright side, other than a solo shot allowed to Johnny Gomes in the fifth inning, Jhoulys Chacin and company were very good in limiting the damage from there. The offense didn't have another monumental comeback in them this night, however, and so the Rockies lost their third straight.

Of great interest to me was the sight of Brad Hawpe playing his college position of first base for the first time in MLB, and doing it pretty well. Hawpe playing first base minimizes the impact of his "glove" elsewhere, to the point where he could really be an asset for the Rockies going forward, so I am excited about that. 

With San Diego about to close out their game tonight against the Diamondbacks, it appears that the Rockies will be four games back in the NL West. Never fear, this is only delaying the inevitable Padres. We will get you. One day.

In that case

these comments seem to be going brilliantly!

So my evening consisted of:

Deciding to lay down and read for half an hour or so before the game
Waking up 2 1/2 hours later
Finding the DVR had switched channels to record Doctor Who
Switching over to watch the Rockies game
Finding the satellite receiver was having problems getting a good FSRM signal
Watching the 6-8th innings flickering across the screen
Deciding the season finale of Doctor Who had to be less painful to watch
Discovering I was right
Reading the game thread
Developing a strange craving for a skyline chili blizzard

So...on a more serious note...

And let me just say from the gitgo, that I’m not in panic mode, or jump off the bandwagon mode, just throwing out a possible scenario for discussion. OK? Onward.

Let’s just suppose that JDLR doesn’t find his stuff anytime soon. And Cookie and Francis continue to be inconsistent/ineffective. Yet the Rox find ways to stay moderately close to a playoff spot. What do we do? Go for it with gusto (meaning deadline deals) or stay the course (and accept the fact that this was our year to deal with that beyotch Injury Fairy.)?

I don’t know what I’d do right now. Our window seems to be this year, 2011, and if the farm harvest is what we hope, 2012. Whaddaya think, Rowbots?

by rockhead on Jul 17, 2010 10:03 PM MDT reply actions  

I think it would really depend on how what's out there (within our reach) relates to our needs

I don’t know if I’d stake “in the hunt” post season hopes on a rental or something that’s going to be a big future budget drain right now. but I’d have to look at more details before making that decision, kwim?

by rockhead on Jul 17, 2010 10:23 PM MDT up reply actions  

I think the first step

would be to plug Chacin back in to one of the starting spots. If he can get the job done, I think we’re ok if one of the three gets it together. Let’s face it, Dragonslayerishness aside, we didn’t exactly have Cy Young candidates in the fifth spot in ‘07. If we can get enough out of that spot to make it to the postseason, it’s a moot point after that.

And I’m also kind of thinking that I don’t know how much is going to be out there that would be that helpful, and there’s going to be quite a few teams looking. Dodgers and Cards most likely, and after Burnett’s day today maybe the Yankees as well. The guys that are out there might come at some seriously overinflated prices…

Bazinga!

I agree with Chacin

he has been very good this year – and before we do anything to the rotation I would like to see him back in it.

on a positive note

at least I got to see a good game tonight. Good pitching and pretty good defense for the most part by both teams. The Cincy affiliate put up 3 runs fairly early and Casper chipped away with a binary line – scoring 1 in each of the even innings and not scoring in the odd innings.

Billings took the lead back (4-3) in the 7th by getting a runner to third with 2 outs and scoring him on a slow ground ball down the 3rd base line that refused to bounce foul. They held that lead until the bottom of the 9th when the Ghosts got a baserunner with one out and they brought in a pinch hitter for Francisco Sosa… a kid by the name of Corey Dickerson. Dickerson then rewarded the home team with a walkoff HR that cleared the RF by at least 60 feet in the air, cleared the bike path beyond it and went into the trees along the river. It was seriously one of the hardest hit HRs I have ever seen at Mike Lansing.

It was a lot of fun watching the kids jumping up and down at home plate celebrating a walkoff in exciting fashion.

Then I got home and checked the scoreboard only to find the parent club wasn’t as lucky – oh,well.
