Rockies 4, Padres 2: Rockies Induce Padre Pandemonium With Sweep
by Andrew T. Fisher on Sep 5, 2010 6:26 PM MDT
in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintExcuse me while I chortle.
After 125 games of winning close games with good base-running, shutdown bullpen work and clutch hitting, the Padres have fallen from grace in a hard way, being beaten the same way in which they posted victories for five months.
Carlos Gonzalez broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning with a "frustrating" broken bat blooper. Troy Tulowitzki walked, and the due completed a double steal. With the infield drawn in, Melvin Mora punched a single past David Eckstein. Tulowitzki was able to get a good jump off second with the drawn in infield and scored as Ryan Ludwick's throw skipped past Nick Hundley.
It is exactly the type of inning that pushed San Diego to lead the division, and after a ten game losing streak, the division title we all surrendered to them two weeks ago is in a more perilous spot than I was on Fall River Road today.
That offensive output came against the bullpen, after Colorado successful beat starter Clayton Richard for nine hits in six innings over 100 pitches.
Jorge de la Rosa pitched effectively through six innings for the win, allowing eight baserunners and striking out four. He was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning with the bases loaded. His only blemish on the scoreboard came on a two-run home run from Miguel Tejada.
Troy Tulowitzki hit a solo home run to put Colorado the lead, then doubled the headstart with an RBI groundout an inning later.
Matt Belisle returned to hit dominant form, retiring all six batters he faced on 22 pitches, and Huston Street recorded his fifteenth save after a Tejada bunt single.
Carlos Gonzalez went 3-for-5 to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, nine of which are multi-hit games. While his power has been surging, his three hits today came on a broken bat blooper, ground ball up the middle and a bunt.
Gonzalez leads the NL batting race by 16 points and went 12-for-24 with one home run, three doubles, one triple, three walks and three stolen bases in the last two road series in San Francisco and San Diego. He has a hit in all but six road games since the All-Star Break. Coors creation WUT?
With the win, the Rockies are now just 4.5 games out of first place in the NL West division. Colorado heads home for a 4-game set against the Cincinnati Reds, while the Padres wait for the Dodgers to spar at Petco. San Diego should be able to break their losing streak in a Mat Latos/Carlos Monasterios matchup tomorrow. The Giants are facing the Dodgers right now on ESPN, with Jonathan Sanchez facing Hiroki Kuroda.

Niiiiice.
I’m trying not to care too much, but they have a chance with the games remaining.
For me to have been drug back in, they would’ve needed to sweep the Giants instead of taking 1 of 3.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy
But is anyone else slightly concerned about the Reds coming to Coors Field this week?
It would certainly be WAY COOL and a HUGE CONFIDENCE BOOSTER (with a team suddenly bursting with confidence) for a run to (and into) the playoffs to really take hold by taking the Reds to the woodshed this week.
It’s one thing to knock off a reeling AAAA team leading the division (not making light of this - the sweep was HUGE), but would be quite another to do the same to a strong and confident Reds team… even at home.
All that said (did I say anything worthwhile?), knocking down two division leaders in a week could — dare I say it — be the harbingers of an epic run.
Let’s get ’er done.

Definitely not small potatoes.
But Reds and Padres right now are on two different planets.
All of us HERE know NL West is a strong division.
My point is Padres are reeling and suffering a crisis of confidence (witness errors and non-plays) and Rockies got them at the right time. Here’s hoping they keep it up awhile longer, but the Rockies’ next foe presents a greater challenge, even at home.

Rockies records against other top NL teams
Reds 1-2
Braves 4-2
Pads 11-4
Giants 8-7
Phils 1-5
Cards 3-0
MY FACEBOOK STATUS:WAITING AROUND THE CORNER FOR FRANKLIN MORALES
Not bad overall
Most of the fail against the Phils, and all of the fail against the Reds, came during National Lampoon’s Hell Vacation right after the ASB. For the most part, I’ll take those numbers against the cream of the NL, and the Cardinals.

13-3 at home
6-4 on the road

That's my guess
Because he’s been on the roster before but is just now listed as Russell. I think they changed the name from Robert to Russell and deleted the old stats.
That’s my guess. If I see the GM, I’ll ask.
Well...
… I’m skeptical there, as I feel I’d have noticed a Robert Brewer. I keep close watch on the transactions for Libra. It’d be a bit of a coincidence if one player I somehow happened to miss also happened to be the guy they accidentally deleted. But we’ll see.

Earlier this year...
… they inexplicably removed Chris Nelson from the 40 man roster. When I reminded people whop had been counting the names that Chris Nelson was still supposed to be there, PR once again had better info.
I’ve been extremely disappointed in how poorly handled and disorganized the official MLB and MiLB pages are. They get all sorts of stuff wrong. Yesterday they said that the Rockies called up their entire 40 man roster, which was hugely untrue. Thankfully they at least CORRECTED that. Nelson wasn’t back on the roster until he was recalled for the Pittsburgh series.

I thought I changed that one,
Apparently the edit must not have held. We did know that Brewer signed.
No, your draft diary absolutely correct.
You did properly list him as signed. it just seems everyone else missed the memo. Also, if he’s been pitching for the Ghosts since then, somehow he’s been left out of every box score until today.

I'm on the BBTN live chat room and asked about
CarGo’s MVP chances and Neyer says that he doesn’t have the playing time to deserve it and will never win with the splits he has. And didn’t even think he was in the race as he thought I was talking about ROY for CarGo and didn’t know if he had elg. left. It was embarrassing for him.

Yeah you would think so
Even on the splash page for MLB on the ESPN website there is a TC race box and Carlos isn’t even mentioned.
Thats awesome considering he leads one of the catagories
MY FACEBOOK STATUS:WAITING AROUND THE CORNER FOR FRANKLIN MORALES
In all fairness
ESPN is an East-coast fanboi network staffed with nothing but MFY and RedSux fans.
On SC they have
but here http://espn.go.com/mlb/ on the right side he isn’t and with his huge lead in BA he should have the largest shot as its a lot easier to make up 4 HR and 3 RBI than it is to make up 15 points of BA
CarGo was mentioned as a MVP candidate on ESPNs Baseball Today podcast.
They said his splits would keep him from winning. I’m planning on emailing them tomorrow with his road avg compared to others in the mix.

I think he’s mistaking something being pretty unlikely (I think the TC is always really unlikely, no matter how good a player is or how close they are), with someone being capable of doing it. I think it’s pretty unlikely for any of the three that are close, simply because of the nature of the beast, but that all of them are capable.
What's amazing is..
How many ribbies CarGo has after hitting leadoff half the season.

But the Dodgers’ starter against Mat Latos and the Padres tomorrow has been changed from Carlos Monasterios to Vicente Padilla. While Padilla has hardly been good this year, he is more capable of pitching extremely well and matching Latos, so this is a good thing.

Hey guys!! we’re all closing in on SD- I’d love to see you guys take the WC while we help ourselves to the division. I know you were rooting for us to lose, hey, it’s still all in good fun and still alot of baseball to go.
We don’t like playing the Padres. Please overtake them and get the WC
We happen to love playing the Padres.
Problem, we only play them three more times this season while we have to suffer through the Dodgers six more times. Not to mention if we take the Wild Card, we have to overtake Philly as well. From our perspective right now, our best bet is to pass just you and SD and win the division. :p

Cody Ross for that horrible play on Monday?
MY FACEBOOK STATUS:WAITING AROUND THE CORNER FOR FRANKLIN MORALES
Ross is actually who we all want starting in RF. That play on Monday, the bat shattered, so any fielder would instinctively run in. No one blames him for that
They sure did at the time, albeit admittedly instinctively.
I’m sure once everyone remembered the alternative was Jose Guillen, that anger more than subsided.

at the time, I blamed him too, but after watching it a few more times and hearing every single fielder from the Giants and Rockies say they would have done the same, I didn’t think so much there was anything that could have been done about it
Maybe so.
And rest assured, Jose Guillen may have found a way to make it look even worse.

I’m not quite still a believer in the theory that teams have another’s “number”.
I mean, I can’t explain why you guys have trouble with the bums, or we have trouble with the pads, but I’m just not sold on teams pwning other teams. There are so many trades, that if one team had another’s number, traded players would spill it for their new teams’ advantage. See what I’m saying? Just like a hitters lifetime AVG against a pitcher, it’s all just SSS.
This is simplistic and likely incorrect
Batters do well (or poorly) against certain pitchers compared to their overall league averages for a number of reasons (platoon advantages, pitch types, etc..,) and luck just happens to be one of them.
Likewise, there will be factors outside of luck that will play into a team’s advantage or disadvantage against other teams. In the Rockies case, they have issues against 95+ mph pitchers like Broxton and Wilson, they have issues against hard throwin LHP’s like Kershaw and Sanchez and given a manager who loves playing platoon match-ups, we have issues with pitchers that have relatively even splits against LH and RH batters, which the Dodgers and Phillies have quite a few of, while the Giants not so many.
For the Padres, the Rockies big advantage is that San Diego doesn’t have very good LHP’s. Luebke and LeBlanc just don’t have the out pitches to do us in like others do.
Makes sense.

Of course I want the Rockies in the postseason no matter what
But the outcome that last night’s result had more than any other is that the Giants and the Phillies rep the NL and the WC respectively, and that makes me sad.
I was at a 1-year old's birthday party
and this cute little boy walks across the deck with a little broom. I was like, “you’ve got the right idea! Let’s check…” I was thrilled! Just a minute or so later, another guest looks up from his phone and says, “the Rockies just swept the Padres.” I’m here thinking, yeah, that’s so 1 minute ago… ;-)
