Rockies bullpen gets trampled by Philly, Rox lose 12-11

At the start of the seventh inning, the Rockies led seven to three, and then this happened:

Joe Beimel:

Placido Polanco doubled to left (Fliner (Fly)).
Chase Utley singled to right (Liner). Placido Polanco scored.
Chase Utley advanced on a wild pitch to 2B.
Ryan Howard homered (Fly). Chase Utley scored.

Manny Delcarmen (Rockies debut):

Jayson Werth homered (Fliner (Fly)).
Raul Ibanez flied out to left (Fly).
Shane Victorino singled to left (Fliner (Liner)).
Brian Schneider singled to right (Grounder). Shane Victorino advanced to 3B.
Ben Francisco singled to right (Fliner (Liner)). Shane Victorino scored. Brian Schneider advanced to 2B.

Matt Reynolds:

Jimmy Rollins singled to center (Fliner (Liner)). Brian Schneider advanced to 3B. Ben Francisco advanced to 2B.
Placido Polanco struck out swinging.
Chase Utley homered (Fly). Brian Schneider scored. Ben Francisco scored. Jimmy Rollins scored.
Ryan Howard flied out to center (Fliner (Liner)).

And then a valiant but ultimately short rally later, the game was over.


69 - 64

7.5

Lost 3

29


After losing three in a row, the season now sits in a precarious spot, a very precarious spot, where there is no likelihood of playoffs without a lot of winning, both home and away against good teams and bad. 2010's not completely over, but it's going to take a different team than the one we've seen up to this point to get into the postseason. I'm not convinced the Rockies are capable of remaking themselves in a day.

There's likely to be a lot of blame pointed at Delcarmen tonight, but take a closer look at the work of Joe Beimel and Matt Reynolds that inning and of Matt Belisle the inning before. Delcarmen struggled, but so did everybody else. Let him work with our pitching staff and see if they can fix him before giving him the traditional Western posse and a rope welcome. 

One definite plus besides the offense was starter Jhoulys Chacin, who looks more like a playoff worthy starter everyday, he battled through five plus innings despite not having his best stuff and put the Rockies in a position to win.

The feeling I tonight is sadly similar to the one I had after last year's game four loss to the Phils

Not quite the same but there are a lot of similarities there

Here's why I feel that way

After tonight, meaningful baseball has ended for me. I know the math still says we are alive but this loss has taken every last ounce of hope I had for the 2010 postseason and crushed it like an eggsell on the interstate.

For me, there will be no more looking at the schedule and saying “well, if we can just go 7-3 in that 10 game stretch there, we will be right back in it”. Not anymore. I’m beat; and I just have no wind left in my sails. Not after that nine run 7th combined with a valiant 20 hit effort that somehow just wasn’t good enough. In that sense, the season is over for me.

I’ll still follow every game, get excited about what the future holds for some of our September call ups, dream about how awesome a core of Tulo, Cargo, and Ubaldo will be for years to come, and just enjoy watching my favorite team in the world play my favorite sport in the world for one more month. But that delightful late season taste of a pennant chase that I’ve been spoiled with in two of the last three seasons and was so confident I would get again this season has been eliminated from my mental equation. The gap is too big, the hill is too steep, and the time left is too short.

So I’ll enjoy these remaining 29 games as much as I can because I know this is going to be a long offseason, but at the same time I know that meaningful Rockies baseball is gone for seven months. And after the enormous expectations I had at the start of the season, this does nothing less than break my heart.

I see.

Man, this makes me sad. I totally agree, though Game 4 is a different story for me. I’m so sad that its come to this. I don’t like to use the expression “nails in coffin”, but it really does feel like a funeral. Well, not a funeral, but a night at the hospital before the plug is pulled, or the final weeks that you know you’ll ever see someone again.

Jeez, pip, how morbid. The Rockies will be back. We will see them again.

Morbid but appropriate

Tonight’s loss just had a different feel than all the other losses. Like we’ve reached a point of no return, like we’ve been knocked down and this time won’t get back up, and most importantly, like we’ve reached the end.

I’m going to go concentrate on happier things. (Like getting hit by a hurricane)

I don’t know what more he needs to do. Offensive support, perhaps? I mean he went 8IP, 1 run, and took the loss vs my Giants yesterday.

He should be at 20 or 21 wins or so.

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I’ve seen some really tough losses in person this season. Add another one to the list.

Another nail in the coffin……and I would be surprised if we find away out this time. It’s been a fun season—good time going to the ballpark 27 times to see 28 games. This team will have a lot of talent next year too, so all hope isn’t lost. GO ROCKIES!

And let’s go 9-0 against SD and SF just for kicks!

Agreed.

I think I am to the acceptance stage…Don’t get me wrong, I’m an optimist, and still believe they can! But if there’s anything that the Rockies have taught us this year (and 08): its that you can’t EXPECT great things to happen, you can’t EXPECT to win the World Series, you can’t EXPECT to make the playoffs, you can’t EXPECT a ninth inning comeback or walkoff home run.

But when you least expect things, awesome things happen. I think if we stop expecting things and just go with the flow, all will be well.

By the way, I am So Jealous that you’ve gotten to see 28 games! I only got to see 6, and my record is 3-3.

But still going to follow the playoffs.

We will have some work to do in the offseason as well.

Forgot to say that I will read the paper to see if the baseball teams on my hate list lost : )

Yeah, the offseason will be ok, I guess. I’ll live. Maybe. At least I’ll have PR. I’m sure glad it doesnt close down in the offseaon, though it does get kinda slow : )

I still believe...
This is R year!

You're not kidding about PR getting slow in the off-season...

We could still get in....

But our fate lies in the hands of other teams more than it does with us. And that is never good.

A friend put it best to me in a text message tonight:

The season died in San Fran, but the team flew home tonight for the eulogy.

Oh, now be honest, NL West rivals, warriors to warriors. You do prefer it this way, don't you, as it was meant to be? No peace in our time. "Once more unto the breach, dear friends."
