Monday Rockpile: What Losing to Losers Gets You

PrintI suppose that would make you a loser yourself right? Except in this strange season, the Rockies have a winning record.
As strange as it is to believe, the Rockies actually are 7-3 in their last ten games. Despite a disappointing series split in Pittsburgh, a modest 3-3 record and an ugly loss to the Giants in the last seven days, the Rockies made up ground in the division (half game) and wild card (full game) since last Monday. They sit just 4 games out of the playoffs in the loss column, fourth in the Wild Card standings, with 51 games left to play.
That means Colorado controls their destiny against every team in front of them sans the Phillies. For you scoreboard watchers, that means the Phillies need to lose more than any team, including the Padres and Giants. But help with one team isn't bad at all.
That doesn't completely take the sting out of the games against the Pirates. Despite the convincing win yesterday, Colorado lost the season series three games to four against arguably the worst team in Major League Baseball. Last year, I was irritated when people would suggest the Rockies "play down to their opponents" after a loss to the Pirates or Mets. The truth is, the Rockies had no mercy against bottom feeders in 2009.
Colorado not only won but swept the season series against the Nationals, Mariners, Athletics, Brewers and Reds in 2009. That accounts for a 25-0 record, making it far simpler to collect wins elsewhere. Compare that to the 2010, whose only guaranteed sweep this season came against the Blue Jays. If you want to know why the Rockies have failed to truly challenge for the division (save for one week in July), look no further than their record against the weakest teams in the league. Here are their sub-.500 opponents and the Rockies' records against them:
| Team | Record |
Rockies' Record |
| Pirates | 39-72 | 3-4 |
| Diamondbacks | 43-69 | 5-4 |
| Astros | 47-63 | 2-4 |
| Cubs | 47-64 | 3-2 |
| Royals | 47-64 | 2-1 |
| Nationals | 49-63 | 5-3 |
| Brewers | 53-59 | 3-3 |
| Marlins | 54-56 | 3-4 |
| Mets | 55-56 | 2-1 |
| Angels | 56-57 | 1-2 |
That's the definition of mediocrity right there, which of course is incredibly disappointing. The Rockies are two games over .500 against one team, two games under against one team. One game under against three teams, one game over against four games . They managed a .500 against one team. That equates to a very average 29-28 record.
Yep, that's right. Our boys in purple pinstripes are 29-28 against losing teams and 29-25 against winning teams. In a strange way, that makes the inconsistent Rockies remarkably consistent - they play the same level of baseball against the Pirates as they do the Red Sox.
That still doesn't make it okay to lose to the Pirates, who are 2-7 against the Giants and Padres. As Rox Girl pointed out yesterday, this doesn't mean the Rockies can't make the playoffs. It just means they could have made it a LOT easier on themselves.
Links after the jump.
Smith unlucky but OK after foul balls | ColoradoRockies.com: News - When Seth Smith fouled that ball off his shin, I expected the worst. It looked painful. My mind even convinced me I saw his leg break. But it turns out he just fouled the ball off a sore spot from an identical event, and Smith is fine.
Carlos Delgado supposedly talked to the Rockies, White Sox, and Mariners before signing with Boston. Our incredulous reaction to Ken Rosenthal's report of a connection to the Rockies was pretty misplaced, it seems.

Twitter / David Hood: David OhNo tweets that 25-year-old outfielder Ryan Harvey is going to try his hand at pitching, per the Tulsa World. The 6'5" 240 pound outfielder was the 6th overall pick of the 2003 draft by the Cubs and has a horrid .213/.269/.402 line in his second full season in AA Tulsa. I watched him launch a monster home run in Tulsa, so I'll be rooting for him. It is kind of a no risk/low probability/high reward type of move.
Twitter / Colorado Rockies: The official Rockies twitter account notes the Rockies have the 2nd-most HR in the National League in the 7th inning or later. Remember when the Rockies never scored after the 6th inning?
casey weathers (caseymweathers) on Twitter - I just discovered the Twitter account for the Rockies 2007 1st round pick.
Lastly, Carlos Gonzalez is incredible. Check out this stat line, thanks to Renck:
In his last 11 games, he is 24-for-48 with eight home runs (he crushed a two- run shot in the first inning) and 15 RBIs.
I have taken his production with a slight grain of salt, given his mid-90's level Coors home/road splits. It is encouraging to see production in the last three games, but the splits remain. Others have noticed too. Thanks to Flashfire for this FanPost, we have been made aware of the tireless work over at Athletics Nation to decipher why CarGo has exploded so much at Coors Field. It is a bit heavy, but well worth the read..

My info on Harvey
Came from the 8/8 edition of the Tulsa World, in the Drillers Update by Duane Dapron.
I too hope this works out for Harvey, he’s Bren fun to watch in right, and hope he uses his huge frame and cannon arm to convert smoothly to the pen.

It's buried
If you want to know what the backup MLB for OU likes to do in his spare time, the Oklahoma papers are for you, but if you want baseball news, the Oklahoma populace isn’t as interested. The guys at the World, like Barry Lewis and Dapron, do a great job covering the Drillers, but the people want their football and that’s what the paper strives to give them.

Happy to have a pitcher with a .671 OPS
Though I guess as a reliever he won’t have that many at bats. Maybe he’ll be a pinch hitter!
Good analyis of record against sub-.500 teams
The question remains: WHY aren’t the Rockies better against weak teams?
I don’t think it’s a psychological condition (play down to the level of the competition). I suspect it’s 2 things:
1. Starting rotation weakness: the inconsistency of Cook & Francis means that sub-.500 teams, who usually get that way because they can’t handle good pitching, have a good chance of winning 2 of every 5 games against the Rockies. Throw in JDLR’s long stint on the DL and the lack of a closer for most of the season, and the Rockies have just lacked the strong pitching to dominate weak teams.
2. Offensive starters who are no better than their counterparts on weak teams: Fowler,
Ianetta, Barmes, Stewart, post-All Star break Olivo, and Mora (when he starts) fit that category, as does Helton on a season-long basis.
So when your starting pitching isn’t much better, if any, than that of sub-.500 teams and a good chunk of your offensive lineup is also about the same level of the weak teams you’re playing against, the result is near-.500 ball.
Mediocrity sucks
This all sounds about right to me
I’d maybe go a step further, and simply say that the reasons you list above (among others) suggest we are a just “pretty good” but not “great” team, and teams that fall short of greatness lose a lot of games, no matter the level of competition.
I also think that the type of offense we stress hurts us when all cylinders are not fireing.
Between the injuries and slumps the team has not been able to feed on each other on a consistant basis. That seems to be the common denominator is a lack of consistancy across the board. On the field, on the mound and at the plate. It’s part of why some of the fan base grumbles about the ever changing lineup and are having trouble buying the “LOLMatchups”.
To me this lack of consistancy is about a lack of focus and not seeing the forrest for the trees. We seem to be reacting all the time instead of thinking ahead.

Rogers earns another start? If he continues with quality starts, who is the odd man out when Chacin is ready for the rotation?

Unfortunatly
Probably Chacin…

For this season, probably
Barring injury, I’m pretty certain Chacin is a cinch for 2011. But Rogers’ start wasn’t exactly great, it was competent. And exactly what we needed yesterday, but I don’t think this was a “keep Rogers over Chacin start”
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Exactly.
I see Chacin as a shoe in for 2011. I just don’t know when he will be ready to be back with the Rockies this year – and don’t want his arm wasting away in the bullpen again.

That depends
Rogers’ quality start was really only in name only. His game score was just 44, which Chacin topped in 9 of 12 starts, and two of those were 42 and 43. If that’s the best Rogers has, there is no reason for the Rockies to go with him over Chacin. Of course, there’s the question of Cook

How about Chacin in the rotation, Rogers to the long man role and Corpas somewhere other than the 25 man roster?
Cookie’s got a lot of proving to do IMO. I have a hard time believing his struggles are the result of his toe.

My dad and his siblings got my grandparents an iMac (back when that was new)
and I don’t think they ever used it. My mom’s parents, on the other hand, are quite up to date (that’s the grandpa that worked at the bureau of standards, by the way). Though my grandpa still sends along random forwarded e-mails. Luckily not to me, though my mom sens along a few.
I love getting forwarded chain emails
that threaten terrible things or promise wonderful things. I’m generally the one who breaks those chains. So anyone else behind me is either very appreciative or very mad at me :)

It depends on the e-mail.

I hate when people forward e-mails that have false or really old information. Always check things out on snopes. My mom does a pretty good job of filtering what she passes along from my grandpa, but I think it’s only a fraction of what he actually sends her.

Good grief.
Be glad you don’t live in the Bay Area.
The last time I moved I made the grave mistake of looking at rent costs in Denver. HUGE mistake. HUGE. I could have gotten a really sweet, brand new apartment for significantly less than what I’m paying here.
And I'm not in a really sweet, brand new apartment.
I would have to go ghetto to come close to the same prices I could get in Denver.
San Diego is similar
although probably 10% less than the Bay Area on average. I’m about 2 miles from the beach and in a pretty awesome complex. Thankfully, I’ve lived here for long enough that my landlord has not raised my rent in the past 3 years.

What's going on with that?
I’ve been wondering all year where the hit f/x data was. Most of the google results are from last year. I’m really curious because I suspect Cargo hits the ball on average harder than anyone.
At FanGraphs Live
Dave Cameron and David Appelman said it will be a long time till all the data is compiled in order for it to be credible. Part of it has to do with getting the system put into all the stadiums, and they are expensive.

Diplomatic and Military History Book Review - My other blog where I go all historical on you.
So they're not going to use the existing system for the hit f/x data?
I thought they could get the initial velocity vector from the pitch f/x system. They said that it wasn’t possible to get spin, so they couldn’t project where the ball would actually land, just the speed and direction would be useful for evaluating hitters.
How about after they sweep San Diego this week? :-)

Speaking of Latos what are they gonna do with him
He’s already at 129.2 innings pitched this year and he’s never thrown more than 123 innings in his career. Are they going to risk his arm long term and go for the division or shut him down and hope for the best?

It really might be what decides the division because since May3rd the Pads are 48-37
However they are 13-3 when Latos pitches but only 35-34 when everybody else pitches (and this has been agianst mostly bad teams).
If they take Latos out of the rotation I don’t see how they hang on when that schedule starts getting tough in a few of weeks. Remember Latos now has a 1.57 ERA in 103.1 innings pitched in his last 16 starts. The Pads have quite a dilema here.

Unless they plan to have him throw 70-80 pitches a game. It’s definitely a great question.

There is a bit of concern, but the organization seems to have a plan for him and that plan does not include shutting down his season at some point.

I keep reading around and seeing things like “the Padres have a plan for Latos” but nobody seems to know exactly what that plan is. This should get interesting because I don’t think doing this halfway is going to work.
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?

Even missing 2-3 starts though still leaves him at about 170 innings pitched for the year and puts the Pads in danger of losing enough ground to possibly miss the playoffs when Latos is out of the rotation
I don’t even think this solves the problem.

Also
If the Pads decide to go for it all this year and put his future in jeopardy, they also have to include potential playoff innings as well because it would make no sense to use him to win the division and rest him in October so Latos may really be on pace to go over 200 innings.

Casper:
Free Tickets, Fireworks, bad baseball. They lost 6-0 with the Raptors having 3 errors, all at first base. The first was on a throw the other two the first baseman just dropped. The Casper defense wasn’t bad but the bats didn’t do anything and the Raptors showed they could hit a 88-93 mph fastball that was belt high like anyone in professional baseball should.
Colorado Springs:
Not free tickets but it was Goose Gossage night with figurines of him in his high school uniform (and mustache). Springs had good offense but defense was terrible (5 errors, should have been 6). The pitching was mediocre at best.

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?

And Fontenot leads off.
What’s that old baseball saying? A guy who ends an inning with an amazing play always seems to lead off the next inning?
And he strikes out.
Off to bed
Let’s go Cubs
With those who don't give a damn about baseball, I can only sympathize. I do not resent them. I am even willing to concede that many of them are physically clean, good to their mothers and in favor of world peace. But while the game is on, I can't think of anything to say to them. ~Art Hill

Cubs don't score....

Freaking Giants.
Stupid bloop popup.
And Pat Burrell. Yet another scrap heap veteran that somehow actually hits once he’s in a Giants uniform.
They wouldn't be the failbears
if it wasn’t for games like this.
