Tim Lincecum confounds Rockies as bats waste Jhoulys Chacin gem.

One low pitch that Pat Burrell got all of and a strong performance by Tim Lincecum were enough to give the Giants a 2-1 victory over the Rockies on Friday night. For the Rockies, the loss was their fifth in a row after cutting the NL West lead to within two games last weekend, and almost certainly marks an end to any playoff ambition they might have had for 2010.
The Rockies scored their one run when Seth Smith led off the sixth with a double, and eventually came around to score on an Eric Young Jr. single. Burrell's blast came in the next frame, as Chacin walked Buster Posey to lead off the inning and then gave Pat the Bat the pitch that he apparently was looking for.

If this is salt in the wound, I’ll leave after this post, but honestly, great game by both teams. only 5 hits total, could have gone either way. I really thought it was a great matchup, and great game played by both teams.
Chacin is a really good pitcher and we got lucky. Burrells HR wasn’t even a mistake pitch either.
ill just let myself out :) i just wanted to say it was a great game on both sides. Take it easy guys&gals

yep great pitching duel
Lincey has really turned his season around big time this month…good luck to you guys i hope you beat the Phillies down….and yeah Chacin is going to be really really good…very excited about him being full time in our rotation next season

but yes technically he is a rookie…and has only allowed 7 runs his last 7 starts…he will be big time….later

That was a great pitching duel
The difference in the game was two mistakes that Chacin made, in an inning he had to shut down after getting the lead. There’s no defense for either a walk or a home run. Otherwise he was excellent, but Lincecum was one notch better. Great game.
To you and the other Giants fans no doubt lurking here: I said it the last time these two teams played, and I’ll say it again now. This is the Giants’ year. I hope you guys take advantage of it and beat the Phillies. Next year the Rockies are unlikely to have the kind of injuries they had this year and will have a stronger rotation as well as a stronger offense. There’s going to be some great baseball in the NL West in the next couple of years and I wouldn’t expect anyone to manage to build a dynasty anytime soon.

there is definetely no excuse for the walk or HR, I agree. Timmy could have thrown a perfect game, which would have been a topping on his short, yet already massively successful career. A bloop double and a single through a drawn-in infield was the difference in that regard.
As for the NL West, it’s gonna be really, really competitive for years to come. We have a phenomenal starting rotation, and all are young, Cain is oldest at 26, Bum youngest at 20. Bullpen is mostly young, with a few vets. Wilson (nuff said), Romo, Runzler, Affeldt, Ramirez, Casilla are great young relievers having breakout years. As for our lineup, we have a power-hitting 1B who should be up next year, Posey, and yes, Sandoval will be back for 2011 with a vengeance. He’s just his own worst enemy right now, and working through his first real test of character. We’ve got a great young core in the pitching staff and bullpen, as well as 3 young power hitters.
The NL West will become the power division in baseball for the next 10 years. You have a young team, that while I don’t know as intricately as my Giants, seem to be very talented too. Gonzalez, Tulo, Ubaldo, Chacin seem to be a great young core for you guys.
The D’Backs will be a surprise hit next year- they have great offense and 3 good starters.
Padres are overperforming and unless make massive offensive upgrades, will likely be competitive, but not at the level they were this year.
And the Dodgers… they traded away the farm at the deadline this year and are in shambles. This makes me cry tears of joy. They won’t contend again for 4 years, IMHO, and will be a last-place team for the next 3 years. Kemp, Eithier, Kershaw, Furcal, Billingsley can’t save that sinking shit. oops, ship, i mean :)
yes, it will be great years to come for the NL West. So, so much young talent.

What hurts is that the HR really wasn't much of a mistake by Chacin
That pitch rarely gets turned on like that. It was probably the wrong pitch to select by him and Olivo since Burrell was looking for it, but really anytime a starter only gives up two runs at Coors, you’ve got to put more blame on the offense or credit to the opposing pitcher.
That was one of the best pitched 7 IP, 2 ER games I've seen

I worry about 2011
A good chunk of 2010’s success was built off of career years.
Ubaldo probably will never be this good again
CarGo’s BABIP is unsustainable
Miggy’s first half was probably fluky
Plus
Hammel has regressed
Some of our former prospects (Ianetta, Fowler, Stewart) are turning into busts.
This team can’t win big games right now.
I hope they shut Ubaldo down for the rest of the year. I don’t care if he gets 20 wins, we’re just ruining him for 2011.

Very true
But it’s still a small sample size.
2011 can be great if:
Cargo + Tulo + Ubaldo are all at least 5.5 WAR
A leadoff hitter steps up (I’m hoping it’s Fowler)
Chacin pitches like this year (possible 5+ WAR guy too)
Belise and Reynolds back up this year’s stuff
Street isn’t hurt
I just worry that we are becoming the Cardinals of the NL West – Top heavy in talent, but under performing elsewhere
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
See, the thing is we expected this team to be very deep
Instead, it has been pretty top heavy. We haven’t gotten what we hoped out of Hawpe, Cook, Fowler, Iannetta, Smith, etc. These guys could easily step up if the studs back off of their superstar level a bit.

Smith has been a huge disappointment
I’m not saying this because of my Hawpe love, but he’s been pretty bad, even though he was got the bit hit tonight.
Iannetta should have started far more games in the 2nd half.
Cook was getting better and had bad luck( damn you Joey Votto!)
Hawpe, well, I dunno, maybe we could have still used him off the bench but clearly that wasn’t meant to continue.
Dex recovered nicely and is hitting evenly from both sides of the plate now.

I hadn't noticed that he was only at .320 for the year.
With his speed/ LD%, it should be much higher, right?
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
Yes
And that’s why it has been .383, .325 and .345 the last three calendar months. He wasn’t hitting as many line drives in April and May, and that compunded with rotten luck led to a very poor average

If Dex drops his K% again, he can have really good OBP skills.
I don’t care if his SLUG is Herrera-esque.
He has .380 OBP potential
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
His K percentage has been better the last three months
Also, he is much better slugging wise than Herrera. He may only hit 4 HR per year, but leading the league in triples counts as slugging. IsoPower (the best measure of power) is more than double Herrera’s

Yea, I knew he had better SLUG/ISO
I just don’t care if he does or not, as long as he is a plus on-base guy.
If he and EY2/CNelson/Herrera can average .350 OBP, the top of the order looks pretty nice.

He has come on pretty strong. If Iannetta doesn’t become our second righty power bat, a .290 Spilly with ~20 bombs playing full time is nice.

Probably
But the FO likes to keep their home-grown people. I don’t blame em. If you add Iannetta’s talent to our core of TTT, CG, UJ, and (in my opinion) the Machine, you have a good base for at least 5 years.

I would agree with you normally
but something isn’t right when Olivo is tanking and still Iannetta doesn’t get a start, never minding the calf strain.

Plus McKenry and possibly Rosario..
are ready for playing time. Depends on how Willin comes back from injury next season.
@charliedrysdale
How good is McKenry though?
Rosario is probably a long ways away.
Without his injury, he was probably in a 2009 Dexter Fowler scenario, maybe making the team out of ST.
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
Yea, plus the whole Paul Phillips start.
I still think that he needs to figure out his own head.
Obviously I don’t know what it takes (mentally) to be a good MLB hitter. But Iannetta has the talent, and he is really a Brian McCann type. Maybe he just needs glasses?

Agreed
A rebound year from Smith, and either and Iannetta breakout or Fowler breakout is a plus situation.

For all the talk about Seth failing since Hawpe left..
he is going to finish with pretty much the same PAs as he did last year. He’s not getting consistent ABs, which can be said about a lot of people not named Olivo or Barmes.

That's because he's done nothing with it when he had the chance.
Same as last year……

You're very negative towards him..
His Avg and OBP have been down this year, but his SLG is really good. He’s 3rd on the Rockies, would be 3rd on the Rays and he will finish at or above 20 HRs this season.
@charliedrysdale
I'm not negative towards him.
I actively root for him to do well. I haven’t said trade him, or get rid of him. I would have preferred we play Spilly in RF. His defense hasn’t shown me a whole lot either. I like him in a PH late inning role….you know, where he excelled last season. I think I’ve been pretty clear on that point.
I resent that you said I hate him…because it’s false….

Yea
I figured he was good enough in the first half
I guess since his OBP is so bad it was never as good as it seemed
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
Hitting wise, he hasn't been that bad this month (.268)..
but everything else has been bad. Except his defense, it’s been as good or better than advertised.
@charliedrysdale
Better than backup
But not what we wanted from our starting catcher this year.
Ok, so CarGo has his breakout, I guess Iannetta should be next in line (fingers crossed)
If Iannetta can channel his inner 2008, he has 35 HR potential over a full season.

Iannetta will break out, just not with the Rockies I'm afraid

Miggy.. Probably
@charliedrysdale
I love Ubaldo and Cargo - they are great players
I just don’t know if they can do it again.
Ubaldo is really tired right now
And Cargo may not have good BABIP next year
If 2010 is for real for both of them, then 2011 looks pretty nice.
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
In reply to your Dex comments..
Compare Dex and Torii Hunter’s early years. Dex has a .729 OPS and Hunter had a .728 his 2nd season. Even the great Griffey Jr had a career .800 OPS after his 2nd season (Dex has a .738 career OPS).
@charliedrysdale
I think Dex can be great!
I’m just being realistic – their have been plenty of toolsy switch hitters that couldn’t make all of the adjustments
He is brilliant in the field, when he has the right approach he is a triples machine. We have TONs of talent. But it’s been brought up before that some of our best talent hasn’t proven much yet.
I am optimistic about 2011 – but I don’t want my purple glasses to make 2011 seem like a letdown too if they don’t bounce back.
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
Don't worry about 2011
Absolutely no one knows for sure if Cargo, Dex, Ubaldo, etc, etc, will progress or regress. There’s no way to know. Their trajectories look to be upward at this point. But it’s baseball. Over the long season, anything can happen. Injuries happen, a player has an off year, who knows what. (See: 2010) And I think it’s premature to be calling Fowler, Stewart and CDI “busts”.
You’re trying to be an optimist while worrying about gloom and doom. Pick one or the other is my advice. As I said above, 2011 is gonna be great!
Get your purple on.
I'm late to comment on this,
but as others have indicated, there’s a lot that’s faulty with going down this road, starting with the fact that it looks only at the team’s best performances as regression candidates, but not the worst.
I also think you’re overreacting to Ubaldo’s last start. If the team’s not going to the playoffs (and that’s what it looks like right now) then there’s not much to worry about him pitching the rest of the regular season. Before that start, he actually had better peripherals post ASB than he had in the first half, his bad luck now is just making up for the good luck then.
The Rockies are missing a bat right now, and I think they somehow need to find another 2.5+ win contributor during the off season to play RF/1B and they need to make sure the rotation gets filled, but overall 2011 looks as promising or more than 2010, as full seasons from Tulo, Chacin and Stewart should help.
Whelp, 2010 was a (mostly) fun ride
Going to enjoy the final home game, time to be thankful for the team giving us a good year. It’s come up short, bah. But we’ve still had some moments this year amazing to watch.

I want the Pads to beat out the Gint's
I find the Pads more likable.
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
Three reasons why Rockies fans shouldn't give up on this season..
1. Both the Pads and Bravos are below .500 in their past 30 games.
2. The Rockies are 20-10 in their past 30
3. The Rockies have not had a 9-game losing streak this year, but both the Braves and Pads have.

Ok, 2011 Cargo may actually be this good/better
I guess I’m going to stop my pessimism, because my Fangraphs reading for tonight has alerted me that:
August CarGo walked at a 9.5% rate
September CarGo is walking at an elite 13.0% rate, only striking out 17.5%
Maybe he can push over .400 OBP next year?

I like how he has been a complete hitter during the second half.
Maybe he walks at about 9% next year? With a sub-20% K rate, that’s pretty good alone.
Add in his LAZOR, and how can the haters hate then?
Hopefully he ignores Boras and signs long term.

A lot of Boras clients have been jumping ship lately..
I would be greedy if I were CarGo and ask for money right now, instead of a boatload of money later. I tend to bet on the now instead of what could be.

DUH! It's Star Wars night!
They have been in league with the Jedi this whole year! Thus the Force powers have:
Given their pitchers pinpoint control
Redirecting of groundballs
Mind tricks on opposing managers, forcing them to leave a pitcher in one batter too long
All of the circumstantial evidence makes sense!
The Rockies AND the Padres are cheating, by the same logic.
Better call the SF Chronicle, cause they have ran out of slander to publish.

I love everything about Uball except his pitches per inning and walks.
Other than that, he is perfect.

If he can get his BB rate to 2.5 per 9
I bet you he will have better K numbers too.
I’m scared about how is GB rate plummeted in the second half

I remember watching the no-no on Extra Innings with the ATL broadcast
And they said that, when his arm shoots back towards first base, that is where he looses his control, and tends to go up in the zone, thus more flyballs
When he reaches back towards second, everything sinks and dips low in the zone, and more groundballs.
He is just super tired I bet, and he can’t keep his mechanics together.

He would have gotten the clutch hits over that past 5 games

Good thing Yorvit didn't get hit by that
It would probably kill someone if they got hit in the head…yikes

Huh...from Renck
Mora came out of the game with a 102-degree fever. Been fighting cold for 8 days, he said. Status for tomorrow up in the air
Why didn’t we start Ian or Nelson if Mora’s been sick this whole time?

Tracy is just playn' with my head now
I can’t follow his lineups

At least now Tracy can say
That Ubaldo wasn’t the only guy he left on the field too long while he was sick.
When did Tracy admit that? I must have missed it :)

This really annoyed me
Tracy said about chacin. You can’t leave slider on plate. But he was as focused ever seen him took step forward
Maybe you tell that to Chacin privately. I’m pretty sure Chacin already understands that…grrrr

I said about tracy
You can’t leave the sick and tired on the field.

Chacin will have a sub 3.20 ERA next year.
If he gets good numbers of innings, we have our own Wainwright/Carpenter or Lincecum/Cain

I never thought that Jim Tracy=Dusty Baker
But man, Uball took a beating in the second half.

Halladay has been just as abused as Ubaldo, if not more so
But Doc has shown throughout his career to be a cyborg who is immune to abuse

He waits until a player's cold streak has long since cost the team several W's
And refuses to start an on-fire player until they cool off.
The only reason Spilly had such a hit streak with pinch hits is cause tracy wouldn’t just give him LF while smith slumped.
Imagine if Spilly had gotten more AB’s while hot, he could have been more of a factor down the stretch

Do you guys really think that Jim Tracy is that much of an idiot?
we rag on bochy so much, but really, he’s better than he gets credit for… sometimes. actually, now that I think about it…

Oh Grant from MCC...funny as always
Wait, that was against the Rockies? At Coors Field? Two baserunners in a game at Coors Field?
There’s…no canned response for something like that. We just watched a chupacabra mate with a centaur in the shadow of a full eclipse. Hope your cameraphone was charged.
That’s how to start a series at Coors Field. That was beautiful. No one wants to read 500 words on the brilliance of Jhoulyshyllous Chacin, even if he would have deserved it.

I have a crush on Harold Reynolds
He just makes me laugh to no end. He giggles and doesn’t go with what everyone else says.

Ah....
Went and read the game wrap of the SpillySlam for old times sake, and went on and read MCC’s. Never read that before. Made me happy.

Uh, yeah, about that...

Good idea.
I fondly remember being on the phone with my brother-in-law as he was laughing at the Giants side of the studio frantically rewriting their post-game show. I’ll bet there was similar post-game wrap rewriting going on at MCC :-)

Lincecum still hasn’t commented on this, but it’s getting all over the news. thought id give you a heads up on this.
Bugs and Cranks gets it...

As indicated there, there’s really no reason to waste any more space on a subject that’s dedad.
it basically shows what a self-serving whiner Lincecum is
He’s pitching relatively poorly that inning, lost his no-hitter and he needs an excuse.

Excellent pitching by Chacin!
He has that ability to show up for big games that a lot of our players don’t and seems to know how to keep digging. Future looks bright. If only Tyler was ready for the show we could beat teams up and then give them some chin music. When he makes starts the Rockies are going to have to wear black.
