Giants 4, Rockies 2: Merciless Matt Cain Mystifies the Masses, Minus Melvin Mora
by Andrew T. Fisher on Sep 26, 2010 4:10 PM MDT
in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintIf I were to hand-pick a pitcher to throw a no-hitter at Coors Field, it would be Matt Cain. He would get at least two chances per season, seemingly allows three hits per game and has ranked 3rd in the NL in BABIP in each of the last two years. If only Jim Tracy had put a line-up out there without veterans from the minor leagues like Jay Payt...
Wait what?
According to Andrew Baggarly, Matt Cain has now taken a no-hitter to the seventh inning five times, to the eighth inning twice. And JAY LEE FREAKING PAYTON broke up the no-no in the eighth today on an infield single up the middle that a half dozen Rockies' infielders probably could turn into outs. Melvin Mora, on the bench with the flu, followed with a mammoth pinch-hit two-out two-run home run to center to break up the shutout.
The most consistent starter on the staff, Jorge de la Rosa, allowed 3 ER in 6 innings pitched, which marked a good rebound from the walk-home run the permitted to lead off the game. de la Rosa has now gone 12 of 13 starts allowing 1, 2 or 3 ER over 5+ IP. The only outsider was August 15, when he departed in the 8th with two runners on and three runs charged.
After a Carlos Gonzalez one-out single in the ninth to bring up the tying run in Troy Tulowitzki and Jason Giambi, Matt Cain didn't shy away. Tulowitzki skied a popup - he leads the NL in popup rate -and Giambi struck out looking, one pitch after appearing to injure his right bicep.
As has been the case in 2010, the Rockies found themselves behind the eight-ball and fought all the way back, just to wind up short in the end.
The elimination number for the Rockies is now three.
WPA Heroes:
Melvin Mora (+.075): 1-for-1, PH HR, 2 RBI.
Carlos Gonzalez (+.024): 1-for-4, K.
Rafael Betancourt (+.024): 1.0 IP, 2 K.
WPA Zeroes:
Jason Giambi (-.122): 0-for-4, 2 K.
Jonathan Herrera (-.196): 0-for-4.

Well, the Braves do get the Phils again
Not sure we can get the Pads to go 3-5, tho.

Pads can easily get swept next weekend in SF
and win 3 of 4 against the cubs or split 4 with the cubs and lose 2 of 3 to SF…but yeah all this means nothing we are not going to go 7-0 anyway lol…team is too inconsistent all year and will be the downfall along with losing to crappy teams all year

Except that it's a little late now for it to really matter.
They will be facing two other teams that are out of it as well.
Next two weeks should feel like spring training.
Ahhhh… spring training…. and close to my house now instead of two hours away.
I would be counting the days until spring, ’cept that those of us in AZ would like to see some fall and maybe a little winter first. 105 today… :-(
Thanks for a great year, Rockies. Now, please don't let the Dodgers catch you.
Didn't word that well

oh yeah
So we’ll have a game where Stewart has 4 recorded errors and 3 generous non-ones?
However, we can’t lose to the Rangers or Royals 20-1 so that’s something.

Yes
Though technically, there is already a guarantee of three Pads/Giants losses, since they play each other three times :(

by Andrew T. Fisher on Sep 26, 2010 4:20 PM MDT up reply actions
You mean Pads/Giants wins?
If the wins are split between the two teams, it’s still theoretically possible for one of them to only get one more win and the other one to only get two.
Unlikely, though.
"Are they called the Rockies because they rock?" - 7 y.o.
Drr...that's what I meant
Yes. There is a non-zero chance. But it’s not big enough to worry about.

I think that's what he's saying.
Also, the elimination number is just for the division (I think). So it’s also theoretically possible for the Braves to lose all their remaining games and either the Giants or Padres to lose all their remaining games, and then get in with the Wild Card.
But again, unlikely.

A lot can happen this week, I just don't think the Rox will win the requisite number to keep it interesting
Still, 88-74 is nothing to sneeze at.

Is this the first time the Rockies have had two back-to-back winning seasons?
If so, yay for this year.
Also yay for:
- 1st no-hitter in Rockies history
- Most wins by a pitcher in Rockies history
- Most scoreless innings pitched by a pitcher in Rockies history
- A Rockies hitter in the triple crown conversation
- A Rockies hitter coming anywhere close to any record set by Babe Ruth
A year worth watching, even though it looks like it’s gonna come up short of expectations.
"Are they called the Rockies because they rock?" - 7 y.o.
i agree
Rockies keep getting better and better with each year….expectations get higher…people notice us more and more…who would of thought that we would be disappointed at being 11 games over .500 heading into the last week….5-10 years ago we would of taken that big time

This team has looked good overall and is trending upward
The window is by no means closed. There are adjustments to be made, but I’m happy that they’re just that—adjustments.
After all, we could be the Dodgers, who probably need to blow it up and start from a few pieces.

Actually the Rockies had 3 winning seasons between 1995,96-97..
This year’s 83 wins, so far, rank as tied for the third best season in team history. So there’s another reason to root for another win this year.
Most wins by Rockies franchise in a season
2009-92
2007-90
2010-83
1996-83
1997-83
2000-82
@charliedrysdale
That would be an easy bet to make.
I doubt that the Rockies win all of their remaining games, but I also doubt that they’ll lose them all.
"Are they called the Rockies because they rock?" - 7 y.o.
They actually have a chance to tie 2007's 90 wins..
It would take an epic run and the complete collapse of 2 playoff bound teams, and possibly a 163rd play-in game.
@charliedrysdale
The Rockies can't win 21 more games this year, though.
(Because the World Series would be over before then.)
"Are they called the Rockies because they rock?" - 7 y.o.
The 07 Rockies didn't win 21 in a row though..
they had a 11 game win streak followed by a loss and then a 10 game winning streak.
@charliedrysdale
glauco didn't say that
He said 21 more games. 4+4+3+7=18, so can’t reach the 21 even

Also, I guess if there was a play-in game it's possible to end winning 20 out of 21...
Since the Rockies did win yesterday.

The 'sore winner, sore loser' fan bases are really the most annoying to me
Most of the teams listed fall into this category. (You forgot the Phillies fans though). Average conversation with said fan:
Before game: Our team sucks. You’re going to cream us…waaahhh.
After game: IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE!

Tracy should just thank his lucky stars
the other ‘more important’ coach in town managed to ‘outclever’ himself so much today that’s he’s still spinning around in a cloud of dust.

ah, yes the Kingdome
The worst place to watch ANYTHING EVER – particularly baseball. Even worse than the Humpety Dumpdy dome and Les expos stadium…and that’s saying something.
Safeco Field however is very very nice.

Watching Rivers throw a pick to end a game is almost
as good as the Rockies……yeah…not even close..
But it helps when I can feel happy about Rivers failing.

Troy Tulowitzki is giving me hope.
Comments after today’s game.
“
To lose two out of three in a big series is tough, but at the same time anything can happen,” said Tulowitzki, whose 40 RBIs in September are three fewer than Babe Ruth’s 1927 all-time record. "We’re still in it. Atlanta and San Diego lost.
“Our chances every day are getting a little slimmer, but at the same time you never know.

actually, looking at the hand closely, you can see that is his ring finger he is pointing, not middle finger. you can see his index, then a line, then his middle (both folded) THEN his ring finger.
Fail
Hey, great series though guys. Last night was a heart wrencher
by giant4life83 on Sep 27, 2010 12:19 AM MDT up reply actions
you can also tell it is his ring finger by counting the knuckles. the 2nd knuckle would be the one that the finger would be pointing off of if he was using his middle finger, not the 3rd knuckle.
SO YOURE GIVING ME THE RING FINGER, EH?
by giant4life83 on Sep 27, 2010 12:24 AM MDT up reply actions
No, it was the middle finger.
Good game/get out/I hope the Giants get swept/etc.

In case I don't get another chance to say this,
I just want to thank Purple Row and its inhabitants for being here this summer. We had some great times together, and I had so much fun this summer. No matter what happens/ed, it was an awesome season, and I’m just so blessed to have spent it with the best fans in the world. Some of you might know that I don’t have many friends and family who share my feelings and fandom of the baseball and the Rockies (well, actually hardly any), so Purple Row….Thank you. Thanks for spending the summer with me and putting up with me : ) All of you guys are awesome. Yes, even Jeff and Russ.
The season is winding down, (or soon will be) and PR will wind down. There will be no crazy late nights after a crazy win or OT when there shouldn’t be or yelling during game threads or cheering during game threads or getting giddy over our favorite players making awesome plays or getting giddy before our favorite players make awesome plays. So, it was awesome while it lasted.
Thank you all, and have a good night and a pleasant tomorrow and a good week and an awesome 7 more games.
That’s all, folks.
I'm a BelieveR!!!
