Rockies 1, Diamondbacks 0: Chacin Wins Battle of the Rookies

in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintIt is highly doubtful that many baseball fans outside of Arizona or Colorado paid much attention to this game, which is a shame. There was an extraordinary battle of talented young pitchers on display at Chase Field today.
Dan Hudson had been masterful in his first four games with Arizona, going at least seven innings and allowing no more than three runs in all four starts. It figured that the Rockies would need to give him his worst start with the Snakes to win. Instead, they fed him his best.
The Rockies managed just four hits in seven innings against Hudson, striking out nine times. Miguel Olivo singled in the fourth inning with Troy Tulowitzki on second base, but Tulo was thrown out trying to score with two outs and Jhoulys Chacin on deck. It was one of just three Rockies' baserunners to reach second base off Hudson, who retired the final nine batters following the Olivo single.
Fortunately for the Rockies, their 22-year-old rookie was better than Arizona's 23-year-old rookie on this day.
Chacin retired 15 consecutive batters at one point, striking out nine in a career high 7.2 scoreless innings. He went over 75 pitches without allowing a hit. Nary a single Diamondback advanced past first base. Only one Snake reached via walk. His game score was a career high 81. Career best game, no?
The Diamondbacks never threatened, but the closest the came was on a deep drive to the left-center gap. Dexter Fowler made a catch eerily similar to the one that saved Ubaldo Jimenez' no-hitter in Atlanta, though he landed hard on his ribs. After a five minute delay, he stayed in the game, which would become important later.
Although the Rockies failed to crack Dan Hudson, they did make him work enough to get to the Arizona bullpen. 25-year-old rookie Eric Young Jr. singled with one out in the eighth inning, then stole second base. 24-year-old sophomore Dexter Fowler then laced a singled up the middle for the winning run.
Huston Street retired Arizona in order in the ninth inning for the save.
In the Know Your Foe comments Friday, I noted that I was looking forward to these two intriguing young rookie pitchers locking horns. The match-up did not disappoint.
Comment of the Day
In 2009 the Rockies were 2-28 when they scored 2 runs or less, today was the third one to nothing win in 2010, and they're 8-30 scoring =< 2...Rockies on pace for 50 games w/2 runs or less in 2010. Whatever voodoo Giants pulled to switch our teams was a dirty trick.
WPA Heroes:
Jhoulys Chacin (+.438): 7.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 9 K, 1 BB. 0-for-3, 0 K's.
Dexter Fowler (+.226): 2-for-3, BB, RBI.
Huston Street (+.222): 1.0 IP, Save, 0 baserunners.
Fowler should also get some WPA love from Chacin for stealing an extra-base hit from Adam LaRoche.
WPA Zeroes:
Miguel Olivo (-.149): 1-for-4, RISP 1B, 2K, 2 LOB.
Carlos Gonzalez (-.120): 0-for-4, K, 3 LOB.
Jason Giambi (-.103): 0-for-3, 2 K, 3 LOB.
If anyone is bored, I want to know the last time a player got a RISP hit on the winning side of a 1-0 win, yet still had the lowest WPA in the game for his team.
Dexter Fowler (+.226): 2-for-3, BB, RBI.
Huston Street (+.222): 1.0 IP, Save, 0 baserunners.
Carlos Gonzalez (-.120): 0-for-4, K, 3 LOB.
Jason Giambi (-.103): 0-for-3, 2 K, 3 LOB.

See, it’s not that hard to win on the road. I guarantee if this team did what it did today every time they played a road game – and by that I mean ‘not give up any runs’ – they’d be much tougher to beat away from Denver.

That was the second most predictable thing in that inning behind Miguel “I’m Hitting Like Rudy Stein From Bad News Bears In the Second Half” Olivo whiffing with runners in scoring position. I have never seen a guy who looked so good in a first half look so God-awful in the second half before…
Oh, sorry about that, 2009 Brad Hawpe, didn’t see you there.

Brilliant note from Rox Girl
In 2009 the Rockies were 2-28 when they scored 2 runs or less, today was the third one to nothing win in 2010, and they’re 8-30 scoring =< 2… Rockies on pace for 50 games w/2 runs or less in 2010. Whatever voodoo Giants pulled to switch our teams was a dirty trick.

Unless you count that six game stretch from June 23-July 24
Where he allowed 4+ ER in 5 of 6 starts and went 2-1 in that period.

I love Ubaldo
Always have, always will. But I can say without any regret that he probably doesn’t even deserve the Cy Young Award this season. Am I nuts for this?
If he had the better peripherals and a poor W-L record and someone, like, Halladay won the award because of a gaudy W-L, wouldn’t we as fans be upset?
Is this just one of those ’I’m a pragmatist and need to paint my face purple’ moments or do people actually still believe he’s been the best pitcher in the NL this year?
yea i agree....
he regress enough to let other pitchers lead the chase for the award. He’ll get it someday

Not sure he will.....
get it someday if he doesn’t this year. Juan Marichal didn’t. So let’s hope he finishes his final 8 starts with a flourish, gets some run support, and recaptures the top spot in the Cy Young voting.
I think we should know what the BBWAA says they look at with the Cy Young award
Typically, hasn’t it been the W-L record, ERA, K’s? Is there some new method? If so, what should it account for?

QPU #4, YHEG #4, Proud Member PR Gynocracy
I don't have the specific language
But it rewards the best pitcher. Not the pitcher with the most wins, lowest ERA or most Ks.
Ubaldo has not been the best pitcher in the NL this season by nearly any account. Top five, probably, and he’ll finish relatively high in the ballot, but he’s not been the best. That’s probably been either Halladay or Waino.
But that's what I'm asking.
In the past, hasn’t it been a combination of the most wins + lowest ERA + K’s or something like that? This year is pretty tight…..so what kind of peripherals would be looked at? I’m not being sarcastic

It’s never been that. It’s always been the best. Now, obviously everyone has different standards, but there’s never been a formula.
I’m sure one of the Andrews could probably be a better source, but it could be as simple as WAR or WPA (in my mind). I don’t like using FIP for the CYA; it’s a good predictive tool, but past success is past success, even if it’s a fluke (in my mind).
It just plain should NOT be W-L.
I should add
that the (other) Andrews can probably write 75,000 words about it if you ask them really politely. Or you could tweet ATF and get a better answer than mine in 140 characters.
I don't understand the standard people hold me to
but thanks?

I guess what I'm getting at is that does that combination
of things indicate the best pitcher in baseball? I’m not disputing you or arguing…just trying to figure it out.

"You can learn a lot just by watching"-Yogi Berra
QPU #4, YHEG #4, Proud Member PR Gynocracy
I'm a little confused
as to what you’re asking.
Does looking at the best combination of W-L, ERA, K’s, CGs, etc. lead to the best pitcher? Sometimes. But not always. This year will be interesting. By nearly all advanced metrics, it appears Halladay is having the superior season. By old-school methodology (which has some merit), Wainwright (product of Glynn Academy, along with Kwame Brown, 912 REPRESENT) has better numbers.
There’s a ton a pitcher just plain can’t control. He (or, she if this knuckleball princess amounts to anything) probably should not be punished for those things.
In the end, it’s a relatively meaningless award that nobody will remember in 10 years (quick: name the 2000 CYAs). If Ubaldo won it, it would not be a tragedy. But he probably doesn’t deserve it, barring a miracle finish.
CG seems like a tricky thing to look at..
especially in the NL, when managers start playing matchups etc.

CSTsports,
your last response is what I was trying to understand.
As far as saying the Cy Young is meaningless, I would disagree.
Would Ubaldo trade the CY for a WS ring..probably. But barring that, I would think its a rather meaningful award. We(fans) might not remember who won it in 2000, but who won it 3-5 years ago matters especially the winner and the runners and their agents :)

Did my response confuse you more or answer your question?
Things can get confusing on the silly Interwebs.
It’s an individual award that’s highly subjective. The best agent in the world (Boras) probably doesn’t cite awards as much as he would other, more advanced metrics during his contract negotiation. Something so subjective shouldn’t be used to determine someone’s salary, unless of course we’re talking about my headline-writing awards (which should totally earn me more money).
Heh. You answered my question
which led to slightly more confusion :) But it’s all good :)
I agree that the agent would cite other metrics, but I don’t think any CY winner is going to say…you know this thing is meaningless. Here you take it Ubaldo :)

I suppose so
Perhaps I’m pre-empting some of the vitriol that will come flying after he loses the award. My personal favorite is the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF posts. Because typing 10 Fs is totally different than just spelling the word out.
Well, yeah
One violates the terms of service, the other doesn’t.
They’re totally different.

He’ll probably finish below Waino, Josh Johnson, Halladay and possibly Tim Hudson.
Thus, the vitriol.

It’s always been the best. Now, obviously everyone has different standards, but there’s never been a formula.
In other words, it’s whoever some folks in a (figurative) smoke-filled back room choose to anoint. Everybody knows that players on a team like ours are likely to get passed over for many deserved awards in a good year, and with the technicolor meltdown post-ASB coupled with high expectations this year, well, we should all know better to expect anything no matter how well Ubaldo pitches the rest of the season.

Since we're sharing stories of brushes with fame, I guess I have a few
When I was 15, I produced a track that was an interpretation of a piece by Timothy Mahr, who’s a pretty famous composer. He sent me a message saying that he was really impressed with my work and that he started around my age too. Same thing happened with a composer named Samuel Hazo when I was 16. Then earlier this year, the tall guy from 3OH!3 send me a message saying that one of my remixes of their tracks was “dope.” Hopefully I’ll have more of these soon…….

Freshman yr of college.
George Tenet, while he was still Director of Central Intelligence. Guest spoke in our 8-person seminar the last day of class.
Mr. Science Boy
Wins and ERA will still be prominently looked at,
by older writers particularly, just reading the past couple of years “who I voted for and why” articles. There’s a new generation of stat savvy writers who will also look at WAR and VORP. K’s don’t actually seem as prominent a measure anymore as the writers who used to use them the most have moved on to some of the newer metrics, which already include them.
nope, but we've been robbed enough in the past
by players on other teams getting awards that they don’t entirely deserve, I won’t mind if karma does us a solid here.
I like this line of thought...hmmm
I always go back to a bumper sticker I saw one day
