Friday Rockpile: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

From the desk of WolfMarauder,
Long game, two airplane flights for team STOP
Rockies tired, bullpen wobbly STOP
Fans disappointed, blog exhausted STOP
Where's my aspirin STOP
Is this a dream STOP
Why is a phalaenoptilus in my coffee STOP
Oh, sorry. I think last night's game melted my brain. Or rather reading last night's box score did; I missed a lot of it. I did see the seventh. If that wouldn't enough for me to please insanity in defense of every Rowbot on the blog under trial for any crime, it should be. Even for me, Mr. I'm-Not-THAT-Into-It-Pants.
If I could put an emphasis on the "Bang" part of my title, I would. That's what I'm sure everyone will remember about today, particularly if the team is sitting at home in October. It was an upsy downsy, topsy-turvy ride though. Or maybe I just picked that title because things seem pretty noir right now.
Aaron Cook will be activated today as Padres debut young prospect Cory Luebke.
September callup watch: with Cook activated, we will have 29 active players on the roster, with 9 more inactive, leaving two open roster spots. Manuel Corpas will likely be transferred to the 60 Day DL at some point, opening up a third.
Assorted links after the jump. I wonder if anyone actually clicks on them. Let's find out.
Not a lot of articles in Rockieland (seriously, Friday has got to be the least active weekday in terms of new journalistic content online) short of various recaps of the game. Also this AP story about Manny Delcarmen.
Here's a short article by MLB.com's Joey Nowak about Jim Tracy's ejection last night.
Here are a couple of interesting articles about other relevant MLB topics:
- Alex Remington of Fangraphs has some interesting things to say about Nyjer Morgan.
- Daniel Moroz of Beyond the Box score looks at walks and strikeouts can affect players' productivity.

I didn't see any of the game and the internet on my phone wasn't working inside Rice-Eccles Stadium,
but I couldn’t believe what I saw when I looked at the box score. Nine-run seventh inning…yikes.
Just an average guy with exceptional hair. Nothing more, nothing less.

Two Sept. experiments I would like to see
now that the “we’re still in the playoff chase” fantasy is over:
1. Bring Matt Miller up & give him some PT. See if he can hit Major League pitching. Is he a Matt Murton (AAAA player) or an Andres Torres (late bloomer, surprise contributor to his team’s playoff drive)? We’ll never know unless we play him. I realize this conflicts with the “play Seth Smith to see if he’s an everyday player” experiment, but I’ve formed my own conclusion (perhaps prematurely) on that one: no. Batting avg. in the last 10 games: .189. Defensive skills: average at best, and not much of an upgrade from Hawpe. I like Smith as a PH and spot starter against RH pitching. As an everyday player? I don’t think so. Time to start trying out other prospect for that role.
2. Play Chris Nelson. He’s had a very good year in AAA, has looked great in his short stints with the Rockies. His past slow progress may be largely attributable to injuries. See what he can do with some more PT. He looks like a “hungry” player to me, someone he knows he’s running out of chances to stake out a spot with his original team. Play him at 3B (instead of Mora, we know what he can do) when Stewart’s out, play him at SS occasionally to give Tulo a break; play him as a late-game defensive replacement or as part of double switches (instead of Barmes, we also know what he can do). But play him. If nothing else, it may build his trade value. There are plenty of teams who’d be interested in Nelson. Perhaps the Rockies should be, too.
Do I think either of these things will happen? No, not really. But I think the Rockies may be selling two potential major leaguers short.
Mediocrity sucks
I mostly agree with this except on Miller
I have yet to talk to a scout that sees him as anything more than a fourth outfielder and I’ve asked, frequently, since he was at Asheville. I’d swap out his name for Cole Garner, who I’ve at least heard from a couple has starting potential.
If he doesn’t cut it, the person I think that might take over that starting spot by mid 2011 is Charlie Blackmon. I’m expecting a big season from in CS next year.
I could go with Garner, too, under the same theory.
I have no idea if either has Major League potential. But I think it’s time to find out as to either or both of them.
Mediocrity sucks
Should Garner get starts at the expense of Smith or Dex?
"Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny."
Jack Handy quote
I think at the expense of Smith, yes.
Especially vs. LHP’s. I agree with Maris6161 that Smith’s showing himself to be not quite starting caliber, and as I predicted before the season, the differences between his and Hawpe’s defense were more small sample illusions than anything substantial. Dex still could be a starting caliber CF and I think he’s still growing into his potential.
Do you think this has to do w/ opportunity at all?
I know it is all very circular, but you sometimes wonder if someone was just handed the keys for a season, how they might respond. I know we are living in a very immediate day and age, and very few of us have the patience to wait, but would Smith figure it out if given more opportunity or does his approach alone lead you to believe it will never happen for him. He does seem extremely pull happy.

Jack Handy quote
I like Seth.
But he only hits fastballs really well.
That is all.
That doesn’t cut it for a starter.
This is my first signature and I'm very proud of it.
I'm much more in the CDI camp than the Olivo camp
But I’ve seen Olivo hit breaking pitches. Not lately… but he did hit them in the past.
This is my first signature and I'm very proud of it.
possibly some,
but Smith’s accumulated enough PA’s against LHP’s at this point for me to think it’s a definite issue, and that he’s likely a platoon only player. I imagine his numbers against southpaws will go up some given enough opportunity, just not enough to make it worth starting him in those games.
Going with Miller OVER Garner is probably a mistake...
… but I’d like to see both.

I see Smith as half of the Wonder Twins with Spilly
Together, they make one starting outfielder.
I want to see Chris Nelson at 3rd. It seems his offensive numbers translate as a more “traditional” corner infielder. I know Mora isn’t the future of the franchise at 3B, and it’s looking more and more like Stewie isn’t, either.
Disagree completely on Stew
I think he was making a lot of progress before the injury and was starting to get some starts against lefties and doing ok. He just needs AB’s against LH pitching. I do agree on Nelson though, just not the position. I would like to see Nelson get regular starts at 2B, with some starts at 3B, just until Stew is back.
"Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny."
Jack Handy quote
He doesn't fit at 2B
It’s becoming clear that the 1-2-3 combo of EY2, Dex, and CarGo is a good one going into next year, offensively. They really need EY’s speed on the base paths to give Dex good pitches to hit. Long-term, I think the organization’s going to go for that before they’ll go for Nelson. Heck, even Herrera’s getting more of a look in the infield, so even if Barmey is gone, he’ll be the utility guy.
In my opinion, the only place he’ll fit is 3B. I’m not sure that Stew’s recovery is sustainable long-term, though I hope it is. It’ll be good to have a backup, either way.
Although next year an actual backup 1B is probably more important than any of that.
I agree, the only player that's hit better on the road this season than Stewart is Tulo
Any disappointment with him is relatively mild and compared to the high expectations we’ve had rather than what’s actually acceptable at the position. If we’re being objective, he’s been solid enough to keep his job and clearly a better option there than Nelson. If Stewart backtracks, or doesn’t improve, I could see an opening for somebody else that’s showing All-Star potential (meaning Gomez or Arenado potentially), but right now, nobody’s fitting that description.
Fair enough
I just think it would be nice to have an option to “back him up” at third so he doesn’t go full-Atkins, if he does regress into a walking strike out.
I think his age alone should help prevent him going Atkins on us
but you never know if he will regress, so it doesn’t hurt to have a backup. However, i really do see Nelson as a potential starter, and at 2B, but it seems as though the Rockies disagree w/ me, and their vote counts a little more than mine.
"Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny."
Jack Handy quote
Being stuck behind Tulo and EY2 sucks
And I agree he needs an honest shot somewhere.
What about corner backup (can he play 1B) and power bat off the bench, to Jonny H’s middle backup?
I see your point
but I guess I am just not inclined to think EY2 is the answer going forward, but again the Rockies will override my opinion on that. I just see a guy that is overmatched at the plate for the most part, and has no idea of the strike zone, which makes him not a leadoff man and his speed of no use. I have not taken a close enough look at his minor league numbers to determine if he has always had issues w/ strike zone discipline or is just now struggling, which tells me he might eventually figure it out.
"Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny."
Jack Handy quote
I really want EY2 to succeed
if for nostalgia alone, but this organization is making a major error if it fails to give Nelson a chance to win that job. I agree with your general thoughts on EY2, just doesn’t seem ready at the plate. His dad roped line drives every which way, but little man seems to lack that kind of contact skill. And absent that, he’s just another fast guy. Not giving up on him, but he’s not earning it yet.
FWIW, I’d like to see Barmes back, at a big discount and defined as a utility role. Herrerra would be an acceptable alternative as the utility, I won’t lose sleep over that choice. But neither should be starting. Nelson, EY2, or outside option.
Totally agree re: giving Nelson a chance
and it seems to me that right now, with a hole in the IF due to Stewie’s injury, is an excellent time to do it. Even if we are locked in on EYJR getting a shot to play 2B and leadoff, we can still get a look at what Nelson can do, at least offensively. Plus, if he can play third he just might be able to fill the role Mora has played this year…

I came home, took a shower and sat down to watch my first Rockies game in my new pad with A-Mart.
I turned it on at the beginning of the 7th inning.

Well,
I also turned on the Game in the 7th. A grand salami was served immediatly.
I spent the rest of the night on PR, and on the Game Wrap, realized that I can’t expect to make the playoffs anymore. The PLAYOFF HOPES should be put to rest. (The SEASON isn’t dead.)
After I took a shower, I hopped into bed.
I then had a Good Cry for the Rockies and what coulda/mighta been.
During my sleep, I kept asking “Why?”.
We were almost tied for the division at that game I went to in early July. Our hopes were so big, and it seemed certain we would end up division champ and World Series champs come October.
Why did Matt Belisle have to make that error?
Why did the road trip from hell have to happen?
Why this? Why that?
So help me, Todd, I love baseball and am going to enjoy it, and I’m gonna be happy about it now.

He looked very good, and I am feeling better and better about next years rotation all the time
His fastball was regularly hitting 93-94, and along w/ a great changeup and other breaking pitches, I think he could potentially be a #2.
"Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny."

How about this rotation?
Ubaldo
Jeffy
Chacin
PTBNL (preferably LHP)
Hammel-time
Jeffy’s not a true #2, of course, but I think it takes advantage of the massive change in approach between the two (three counting the switch back to Chacin). They tried it this year, but it seemed Ubaldo always pitched on get-away days before Francis came up.

I am all for this as well
I think our rotation is scary w/ JDLR as opposed to Francis, but I think that is a less likely scenario.
"Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny."
Jack Handy quote
I put $25 on the Rockies and Chacin to win last night
I’m disappointed of course but Chacin’s performance, which drove my faith in the wager, was very encouraging.
I agree on JDLR
I originally had him in there, but I talked myself out of it.
The question isn’t going to be whether the economics works out for re-signing him based on WAR, but based on WAF. Francis is going to be easier and cheaper – will JDLR provide enough utility above and beyond Jeffy to justify what he’ll be asking? I’m not sure, but I’m doubtful.
I've actually been watching the games since I got home
And somehow, for some reason, watched most of the game last night. Not a very good show the past three nights — what’s worse is that it was predictably bad — at least, that’s what it seemed to me. Bad form, bad form.
Also — I’m sure there is a reason for it and I don’t know it because I don’t read enough PR, but why has EY Jr been getting all the playing time? He seems to be totally overmatched at the plate and although his defense is solid usually, it can get pretty shaky. Go ahead, PR stat people!

Tracy's finally got a solid lineup
EY2 – Dex – CarGo – Tulo – Todd
I actually think it works well. If EY gets on base, Dex gets better pitches. Then CarGo and Tulo can move the runners, and Todd can clear them all off the bases.
He’s going to have to suck quite a bit for quite a while to get Tracy off that lineup, and I think for good reason.
Have a great time in Paris!
From the right handed side especially, he is.
as a left handed batter, he’s hitting .284/.333/.373 which is acceptable given his base stealing ability. From the right, he’s hitting .175/.283/.175 which isn’t acceptable, and it’s dragging his overall line down.
That said, there might be some BABIP bad luck. The people that are saying “completely overmatched” I think are exaggerating, as he’s not missing on good contact by much and his K rate is pretty low.
He's gonna have to crank that .333 up to .360+ for me to really give him the pass as a leadoff hitter
by Andrew Martin on Sep 3, 2010 11:50 AM MDT up reply actions
which part
whether I give him the pass, or where he should bat in the lineup?
that .315 wOBA from the left is much better than his other split, but it’s still borderline “probably shouldn’t be starting” – and for those wondering, wOBA includes baserunning.
by Andrew Martin on Sep 3, 2010 11:56 AM MDT up reply actions
where he should bat in the lineup.
btw, since nobody else has brought this up, and since I seem to be the one defending Young today, last Thursday, his % of FB seen was above 77%, today it’s 71.1%. His OBP through August 25th was .349, it’s .219 since then. It’s clear to me that pitchers have made an adjustment to EY in the last week or two that he hasn’t responded to yet. I think we should probably give him a chance to adjust, and if he doesn’t then we can decide whether to throw him over the bus.
I'm far from burying him
I just think we should be somewhat bearish going forward and give him a chance to surprise us all, that’s all.

I can't get too excited about 2011 until I see some sign that the Rockies can play somewhere near .500 baseball on the road
The career road offensive numbers of the lineup they have right now say that the 2011 road Rockies will be another disaster.

The 2010 roster wasn't *that* much different from the 2009 roster
And the 2009 Rockies seemed to do okay on the road. I think each will need to be viewed on their own merits.
not as punny as SDcat00
Yes but last year we had Hawpe and Torrealba getting a bunch more at bats and they both hit very well on the road
Now we have Olivo and Smith getting more at bats and neither can hit to save their life on the road.
The changes we made were small but they made us a worse road team. I think we need to make small changes again to get us back to the road team we were last year

And this year, we got Helton getting a lot less ABs generally
And a CarGo who’s still maturing.
not as punny as SDcat00
Helton for me is a question mark next season
We have no idea how many games he will play in.
And as good as Cargo has been this season his .733 road OPS is right in line with his career .718 road OPS so almost all of his maturing has been at home.
Just a heartbroken Rockie fan waiting on 2011
Yankee Haters Encouragement Group Member #1
by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Sep 3, 2010 12:31 PM MDT up reply actions
Yes, Helton next year is a big ?
I guess the only point I’m trying to make here is that while we lost ABs from players who had done well on the road, that doesn’t mean we can’t gain ABs next year from players who have (or who probably should) hit better on the road.
I think it’s risky to prejudge our road performance next year just on the basis of not doing a complete roster overhaul.
not as punny as SDcat00
I'm basing it off the fact that nobody on this team other than Helton has a career road OPS over .800
And with Helton being a huge question mark, he doesn’t count.
So why should I be encouraged about a team who 81 times next year will bring a team to the field without a single player with a career road OPS over .800
Just a heartbroken Rockie fan waiting on 2011
Yankee Haters Encouragement Group Member #1
by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Sep 3, 2010 12:45 PM MDT up reply actions
Because the fact CarGo and Fowler haven't had road OPS over .800 thus far...
….doesn’t mean they won’t (or can’t) next season. These are players who should theoretically continue to improve.
not as punny as SDcat00
But should we really expect them too
I think taking almost the same team back next year and expecting these problems on the road to magically fix themselves is a mistake
Just a heartbroken Rockie fan waiting on 2011
Yankee Haters Encouragement Group Member #1
by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Sep 3, 2010 12:49 PM MDT up reply actions
Actually, yes, I expect them to
Certain players, that is.
Also to be seen, who next year’s hitting coach will be.
Too many variables right now. Nobody could have predicted 2009’s success in 2008.
But if we’re already predestined to suck so hard on the road, why even play out next year? Let’s just draw up the 2015 schedule right now.
not as punny as SDcat00
I also think that at least some of the road problems,
at least this season, are mental. That’s something that’s hard to be fixed, but it can be fixed. I’m definitely not going to automatically assume road doom in 2011.
Yes, the Rockies always struggle to one degree or another on the road. But I really feel like this year is going to end up being a bit of an outlier.
But what if 2009 was the outlier?
Several stats seem to indicate that might be the case.

Yeah, I'm not generally a stats person
but I remember something about this year being the worst road hitting of the humidor era.
Well even if the truth is somewhere in between that still leaves us 5-10 games under .500 on the road next year
I don’t think that’s good enough

we won 92 last year
we could reasonably win 85 this year, maybe 86
if both years are outliers, we could finish at 89 wins, which is far from bad. Not elite, but not bad.

I completely agree with that high 80's win total

I don't think there's really any way to determine who
is going to hit well on the road, especially for players who haven’t played half their games at Coors.
I don’t think it would be a good idea to make a roster decision based entirely (or even mostly) on a guys home/road splits.
If there's no way to determine who can hit well on the road then this franchise has an eternal problem

It's been a problem

our neighbors are traaaaaashy
but on the other side we’re convinced a mariachi band lives there

bull freaking shit man
you are JUST as convinced it’s a mariachi band as I am
I’m like 90% sure you suggested it first, in fact.

But it is really a mariachi band?
Or are those guns and grenades in the guitar cases?

Well, at Tres Margaritas in Longmont, on Monday nights...
….we prefer our mariachi bands to be actually playing guitars, and not spraying ak-47 fire around the salsa bowls.
but that’s just us in Longmont. You folk in The Suburbs may prefer it different.
