Pedro Alvarez Crushes the Souls of Rockies Fans Everywhere, 8-7 Loss

PrintWell, I'd venture to say that this is the worst loss of the year so far.
As the ninth inning began, things looked bleak for Colorado. The team was down 5-2 and had shown little indication that they were capable of making it up--by and large the Rockies' offense had looked punchless against the Pirates' pitching staff, mustering only four hits entering the ninth. But two quick singles by Troy Tulowitzki and Brad Hawpe against Joel Hanrahan led me to believe inexplicably that something good was about to happen. And happen it did, as Ian Stewart crushed a fastball out to center for a game-tying three run shot (his 16th).
Then in the 10th after a Dexter Fowler infield single, Todd Helton hit a homerun that surprised just about everyone in the ballpark (his third of the year). It was Helton's 2,200th hit and it couldn't have come at a better time. Or so we thought.
Enter Huston Street with a two-run lead. Rockie-killer Andrew McCutcheon led off with an almost-HR double, then with two outs Street walked Garrett Jones. On the second pitch, Street threw a meatball and Pedro Alvarez crushed it into the right field stands for the walk-off, soul crushing 3R HR. ARGH. Exit Huston Street, a loser (2-3). Sean Gallagher took the win in relief (2-0).
Jorge De La Rosa labored through the first five innings but racked up zeros. Unfortunately De La Rosa couldn't hold Pittsburgh in the sixth nursing a 1-0 lead, as newly acquired catcher Chris Snyder knocked one off the left-field foul pole with two men on to give the Pirates a two run lead. After Brad Hawpe scored on a RBI groundout by Miguel Olivo to bring the Rockies within 3-2, Jones added a solo shot in the seventh to make it 4-2 and Pittsburgh added another on a bases-loaded strikeout/wild pitch in the eighth.
The extra-inning loss pushed the Rockies' record this season to 6-6 in those contests and was devastating in that Colorado HAS to beat the Pirates. Seriously. The Pirates are terrible.
Fortunately, the Giants and Padres lost so the Rockies are still 5.5 GB in the wild card and 6.5 back in the division.
Colorado will run out Esmil Rogers tomorrow against Paul Maholm to try to tie the series. The usual after the jump.
Horrible, Horrible Graph:
We Salute: Helton (.366 WPA), Stewart (.330), Hawpe (.135)

Ubaldo Fact of the Week: He has an arsenal of 6 pitches (Fastball, Curve, Slider, Change, Splitter, Cutter). Olivo had to get creative before the season in giving each pitch a sign, and so he uses his middle finger for the cutter.
Sorry to have already done a fan post on this
Just so damn frustrated that they didn’t go after Jones.
I actually trust this team more than that
I don’t think they’ll fold at all.
Oh come on
This team showed so much heart tonight. We were one out away from this being the story
If the 2007 Rockies can win 21 out of 22 to reach the World Series and the 2009 Rockies can come from 12 games under .500 in June to make the playoffs, why can't the 2010 Rockies make the postseason after being 51-50?

I had a very different headline in place before Alvarez came through, I'll tell you that.

The story should be
Why didn’t they go after Jones. Olivo set up every pitch a foot outside. Hell even Goodman was saying you can’t walk him here and Goodman rarely offers anything up worth listening to.
What was it?

The Walk Off
Up top Jeff mentions the Meatball to Alvarez. Nothing about the fact that they dinked around with Jones right up til the 3-2 inside pitch.

Troy Renck will have to delete his entire 10th-inning draft.
I wonder if Huston Street’s guitar will make a cameo appearance in the final version?
"Are they called the Rockies because they rock?" - 7 y.o.
Yeah, WERE one out away from being the story and that jerk Street had to hang every pitch he threw over the plate. This guy blew the Rox’s chances in the playoffs last year and he’s getting off to an early start this season. I vote for bringing back Brian Fuentes.

What worries me about tomorrow
Is the fact that we’ve got a burned out bullpen and a starter that has never gone more than 4 2/3 innings in the big leagues.
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.

I think it’s the only thing that’s more of a train wreck than tonight’s game.

I'm not sure the way our offense responded in the 9th and 10th makes it
quite that much of a train wreck. Makes it more hearbreaking, sure.

Okay, we have reasons to be somewhat optimistic
We didn’t roll over and die. We fought back and tied the game and went ahead. Huston messed up.
but we are NOT out of WC or the division. Heck the Giants, Pads lost and Dodgers were losing..don’t know now…
So we didn’t fall behind. Let’s get em tomorrow!

IMO we're not making the playoffs with less than 90 wins
Which means we have to go AT LEAST 33-19 the rest of the way, which is in no way going to be easy to do. That’s why I’m concerned.
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
It's not going to be easy but we can certainly do it

From what I can gather
Our best 52-game stretch this year has been 32-20, so we’ll have to be better than we’ve been all year to do it. Not saying it’s impossible, but we’ve dug ourselves a heck of a hole.
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
If we stay 5.5 games back in the WC
and if it ends up being either the Giants or the Padres that lead WC we have 6 games against each of them. We can still win it.

This is what's so maddening about baseball
If Alvarez just misses that ball and flies out, it’s the best road win of the season and we talk about all the posoitives. Instead he puts it in the seats and all the good things the Rockies did tonight are lost in the disappointment.

This is true.
And also why I try not to let the crushing blow of one at bat at the end make me forget what happened before that. The offense had nothing to do with what happened at the end.
I'm not going to forget it but man that bottom of the 10th ripped my heart out

Troy Tulowitzki: "When people think of the Rockies, I want them to think of a winning organization."
I hate to be negative, the comeback was totally awesome
But Huston has absolutely gutted me four times – the two games against Philly in the NLDS, the Florida game, and this game. Imagine how different things are winning those games.
Those are nice for sure
But to waste unbelievable comebacks (and homers by Todd and Herrera), it just really hurts. I guess I’m having a trust issue right now :)
Huston is pretty good
Both blown saves should be put on whoever told him to pitch around the tying run. Much rather have Huston than Fuentes, Coras, or going back awhile Jose Jiminez.

We can still do this! We know this team can rip off 10 straight wins and get back into things! Come on everyone!!!
I was just looking at last's years boxscores and do you remember what happened roight before we won 17 out of 18
We lost two heartbreakers on the road to the Astros. One 3-2 in 11 after having the lead in the 9th and one 6-4 after having the lead in the 7th. The Rockies have done a lot of good things the last two days, maybe they can start a winning streak now.

When I heard the Rox got Street in the Holliday deal the only thing I knew about him was he was the one who gave up that walk off bomb to Magglio in the ‘06 ALCS. It seems like this guy is built to blow big games. You’re crazy if you’d rather have Huston over Fuentes.

Soul crusher.
After everything the offense did to come back, then take the lead on an improbable HR from the Toddfather…
We’ll have to hope that the guys can shower this one off and win tomorrow. Wasted a golden opportunity to make up ground tonight. Truthfully, I don’t see playoffs in our future. But I’ve been wrong before.
Get your purple on.

Closer is the most overrated position in baseball, and if all you do is blow high profile games I’m not sure you are worth $7.5 million a year.

Can't argue with the monetary compensation
But calling Huston a choker is way overblown. He has blown two saves in his Rockies career that would be considered “big games.” Unfortunately, they were back-to-back in October, but ask Philly fans what a choker looks like. Even Mariano Rivera blows saves, and Street has been securing wins at near the same rate while in a Rockies uniform. He is not the problem

Blow Street
That’s the street I’ve seen Huston traveling down for quite a while now. Yeah he was great last year and I still would rather have him over a lot of closers, but he’s just not getting it done when we really need it. I could tell after he got two outs and was facing whoever that was that something was wrong. I’m hoping this loss, being that it was the toughest we’ve had all season, will galvanize our team into playing great ball from here on out after being tired of losing to bad teams so much, but I never seem to know with this Rockies team. They’re hard to figure out.

With basketball you also have 8 teams making the postseason instead of four so it takes some of the edge off the regular season games
If eight teams made the playoffs in each league in baseball these games would not be nearly as nervewracking
If the 2007 Rockies can win 21 out of 22 to reach the World Series and the 2009 Rockies can come from 12 games under .500 in June to make the playoffs, why can't the 2010 Rockies make the postseason after being 51-50?

Serving up three-run homers....
at inopportune times is becoming a rockies signature lately. But what would have happened if the Pirates had only tied it in the 10th? We had no relief pitchers left for the 11th inning. Rogers in the 11th and bring someone back on short rest like Ubaldo for Sunday? Would not have been a good idea to stick with Street one more inning and burn him up for a few days.
We might have seen Hawpe or Tulo pitch

Corpas and Buchholz could probably pitch 2 innings each if need be (Corpas could handle more but decent pitch count tonight makes it harder for tomorrow). Beimel still probably available to get 1-2 outs of setup relief but will probably sit him if behind. Street’s in line for a fourth straight day or work. Nothing new to him plus day off afterward, but struggles plus potentially damaged psyche may encourage Tracy to sit him even in a closing role. Belisle was supposed to be down tonight but wasn’t. He’ll sit all game tomorrow.

I feel really terrible for him
I know we all get so upset when the closer doesn’t do his job. It’s win or lose. Like a kicker in football, with the game on the line. But there isn’t a pitcher on the staff that doesn’t have at least a couple three run innings a year. The difference with Huston is that the game is decided when he’s on the mound.
It was obvious when he was leaving the field that he was devastated…
