Ubaldo Jimenez Wins 18th Game On Labor Day Behind Strong Offense
by Russ Oates on Sep 6, 2010 4:48 PM MDT
in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintIt took Ubaldo Jimenez his sixth start since winning his 17th game to win his 18th game. Things didn't look good for Jimenez after the third inning when he allowed four runs, but we've learned (I hope) to never give up on the Rockies. So how did the team respond? Jimenez drew a walk to start things and then moved over to third on an Eric Young Jr. double. Dexter Fowler walked to load the bases.Our Triple Crown chaser, Carlos Gonzalez, unleashed a two-run double, and then Troy Tulowitzki tripled in CarGo and Dex. Game tied at four. Reds starter Aaron Harang was chased out of the game after Todd Helton drew a walk.
Two innings later, Troy Tulowitzki hit a homer, his 15th, to give the Rockies a 5-4 lead. The Rockies continued scoring when lefty Aroldis Chapman entered the sixth inning with two outs and two men on. Eric Young Jr. singled in Seth Smith to score the first run of the inning. The next two scored on a throwing error by SS Paul Janish, allowing Chris Nelson to score, and a passed ball by catcher Ryan Hanigan. Miguel Olivo and Ryan Spilborghs topped off the scoring with an RBI double and an RBI single, respectively, in the seventh.
Jimenez, for his part, allowed four runs (all in the third), went six innings, walked six, and struck out eight. His 18th win puts him alone in second place for wins in the majors behind CC. Sabathia's 19. U-Ball now holds the Rockies' franchise record for most wins in a season.
The Reds wound up using six relievers after Harang failed to escape the third inning.
Onward and upward!

I find it interesting...
…that the season itself is shaping up as a typical Rockies comeback win. Wild swings are just how this club rolls.

Well on the page it lists the 5-tools
Power Hitting — well CarGo leads the league in slugging, is 2nd in RBI and 4th in HR
Batting Average — Leaderboard, enough said
Speed — CarGo has over 20 SB and could end up with 28-30
Defense — just look at the last month’s highlight reel AND he makes the routine plays
Arm Strength — do we really need to discuss this
We need to start a write-in campaign to MLB to include him on their list.
I'd be in, but it was a radio button
that probably means e-mailing somebody

I realize this.
But on principle, since CarGo really IS the best 5-tool player, and because he’s our guy I would be up for doing this.
like i said, I'd be in

that was the game that was on FOX last weekend, i did see it.
i think i was actually on here rooting for you guys cause, well, SD has to lose. too bad they won tonight, but they face Kershaw and Billingsley tues&wed, so i expect them to lose both. the pads arent out of the woods yet, they just happened to win a game (vs Padilla=easy win). it was bound to happen at some point.
Wow didn't know Phillies played a double dip today just saw top of the first and kind of freaked out.

Ubaldo's road numbers
are as good as anyone elses in baseball. His home numbers are naturally higher. What are the odds that this is recognized and that Ubaldo is the beneficiary as much as CarGo victimized by playing in Coors?
Cuz if it is, we just may have a Cy Young

well
like ATF mentioned earlier somewhere, they’ll just add enough hitless at-bats to his line to give him enough at-bats. So if he were to be fairly close to the required number of abs and had a high enough average, he could still win it. Hopefully CarGo continues and makes this all unnecessary.

You’d think the pitching staff, especially Ubaldo, would get more credit than they sometimes do. Being that good even playing 81 games at LOLCORZ should count for something.

Halladay and Wainwright’s numbers are clearly better. But not really better than Ubaldo’s road stats. If Ubaldo can finish strong and get a little love, I don’t really think him getting the Cy Young is that farfetched

Right now it's probably a 3 man race
Ubaldo, Halladay, Wainwright. 18, 17 and 17 wins, and we all know that’s the first thing CY voters are going to look at. Next are Carpenter and Hudson at 15, Nolasco and Arroyo at 14 (so figure the field stops at 15, with the top 3 starting with a huge lead.)
Latos and Johnson are actually very competitive when you look at the overall numbers, but their win totals are going to eliminate them (Johnson only has 11, which ties him for 16th with the likes of Randy Wolf and Derek Lowe. Deserving or not the CY guys will never look past that.)
If you look at the top 3, ERA is going to be the next stat looked at. Wainwright 2.34, Halladay 2.36, Ubaldo 2.79. Losses – Ubaldo 6, Halladay and Wainwright 10 each.
K’s – Halladay 196, Wainwright 184, Ubaldo 1.78 (although K/9 is actually Ubaldo 8.42, Wainwright 8.27, Halladay 7.98 – but Ubaldo has pitched the fewest innings, which will probably somehow become a negative).
Shutouts – Halladay 3, Ubaldo and Wainwright 2 each.
Different numbers can be used to yield different results, but ultimately I’m afraid what’s going to happen is that the national voters are going to look at Halladay’s career and reputation and Wainwright’s years last year and this year, and pick the stats that support voting for one of those two.
Ubaldo still has a few starts left to keep piling up wins and make the assholes pay attention, though…
We're trying to win a (#)(*@$%#)@#&$#)^ argument here!!!!

Show me one time in the history of baseball that being the best pitcher was an actual requirement for winning the Cy Young.

That’s literally the award. I mean, those words are in the ballot description. W
If you’re suggesting that the best pitcher hasn’t always won, you’re right.
But if you’re rooting for the writers to vote for your favorite player despite him not being the best, isn’t that sort of… gosh… Weird?
I think what people are saying is that arguments could be made,
depending on what you view as most important and what stands out to you. and that it’s a foolish halo effect popularity (to a select group) contest anyway. so why not root for your personal favorite to win?

No. I do not think most people on here truly understand that Ubaldo has not been the best pitcher in baseball. I suspect most readers here do not deeply investigate their claims about who is the ‘best.’
Ubaldo has been great. But he has not been better than Halladay and it’s not particularly close.
Arguments could be made *regarding the CY*
which, as we said, is not necessarily awarded to “the best” pitcher in baseball. Also, being “the best” is not always very objective as there are many factors that people will weight just a bit differently. You have your opinion and that’s fine, it’s pretty realistic, it’s not like you’re arguing for 2010 Cook or anything. But you can no more claim to have the objective answer on that than anybody else. That’s why there’s a vote in the first place.

Literally
everyone here understands that Ubaldo isn’t the best pitcher in the NL this season. What we do understand is that he has a shot of winning the Cy Young. I want him to win even if he’s only 3rd best because I think it would do wonders for the franchise and help establish it as an okay place to pitch. Will I be upset if Halladay wins? No, but if Ubaldo is within striking distance, I want him to get it.
The award doesn’t always go to the best pitcher. In fact, if we go by WAR, technically Josh Johnson should win (barely), not Halladay anyway. Things can and will change over the last month of the season and hopefully Ubaldo pitches better to improve his chances.
You made points similar to this the other day when I mentioned how several Rockies didn’t get awards in 2007. I (as do most other people here) fully understand your position. Our general position is if the award doesn’t always go to the best person, and our players are in the discussion, then we prefer them to win whether they are the best, or second best or whatever.
"These are thin mints. I put them in the freezer. My favorites. So good."

The World Series goes to supposedly “the best team in baseball” every season, but is it always the best team that wins? Hell, the ROCKIES had a shot at it in 07 and they weren’t even close to the best team in baseball. Gold Gloves are supposed to go to the best fielders in baseball, but did any Rockies on the 07 team which set a record for best FLD% get one? Nope.
Awards in baseball rarely ever actually have anything to do with the reality of who is the best.

Again, I think we’re underrating the voters (all MSM guys are dumb!!!!!) more than we should. And if we are underrated them and they DO reward the Cy to Ubaldo, we should not be happy that the award went to the pitcher who was not the best. It isn’t good for the game, even if it gives you a fleeting moment of joy about your favorite team.

Fine
When CarGo is the league’s best player (as early as next year) and they don’t award him the MVP, you can’t whine. Can’t have it both ways. Either you want the award to go to its rightful owner or you don’t.
Life is complicated. Taking bias out of the equation makes it a whole lot simpler.
rightful owner
is based off of so many variables. The game never will be all about SABR stats.

That is not remotely biased. That’s the objective of the voter. The voter must do everything he or she can in awarding the Cy Young to the best pitcher in the league.
Refusing to acknowledge advanced knowledge because it doesn’t support your argument is weak.
You can’t say in one breath that Ubaldo should win it because of a flawed logic and then in the next breath be upset that Carlos Gonzalez didn’t win an wward because of the same flawed logic.
So you think Cargo should win MVP?
MY FACEBOOK STATUS:WAITING AROUND THE CORNER FOR FRANKLIN MORALES
No
but it’s getting a lot closer. Tough thing with Cargo is that the defensive numbers seem awfully incorrect. He’s a much better fielder than UZR is giving him credit for, and that’s really hurting his WAR. At this point, I would still probably go with Votto, but if Cargo improves his OPS to the 1.000 level, I think it’s damn close.
I think Cargo could finish with a 350/410/620 line, which would likely put him near the top of any list. He could have a .420+ wOBA. It’s unfortunate that Coors is such a difficult place to judge statistics. Hell, he has probably the best shot at winning the TC.
The one factor I think that has wieght
that probably shouldn’t have any at all is team wins. For both these awards getting to the playoffs greatly increases your chances that is the only part that drives me nuts. Considering it is an individual award in a team sport
MY FACEBOOK STATUS:WAITING AROUND THE CORNER FOR FRANKLIN MORALES
The problem is that
defining “Most Valuable Player” is a lot different than defining “Best Player” or “Best Hitter.” I think the two could be different guys, and I think that’s where team performance often comes in for voters.
Value is fairly linear. That is, Ryan Zimmerman would still be great if his second basemen, shortstop, catcher and outfield weren’t terrible.
But it's a lot harder to see that, because baseball is a game where it's very hard to consider many factors independently.
And attempts to do so (like FIP) tend to be kinda specious anyway. Players on a team are very interdependent. Nature of the beast.

Value in the way
stats view a player is the same. But I don’t think the voters look at it that way. How “valuable” is a player if his team is terrible? Maybe it’s not the players fault, but I totally understand why that player wouldn’t be considered “MVP”. There are a lot of legitimate ways to weigh it, in my opinion. I feel like unless a guy has performed miles above anyone else, than his team’s standing should be taken into account to some degree (for me mainly whether a team is in contention or not—I’m not going to split hairs over number of wins).
it's not weak
it’s a reality. Not everyone in the voting community follows SABR stats – yes there are more than there used to be – but they are still in the minority.
I’m not saying you aren’t right – but we aren’t dealing with pure data sets – we are dealing with reality – and humans – and sometimes they let meaningless stats like “wins” get in the way of their judgment.

“The league’s most run-supported pitcher”
“The league’s luckiest pitcher”
“The postseason’s best pitcher”
etc.

We're not talking about Franklin Morales here
for the first 2 months of the season, Ubaldo was the best pitcher in baseball, not just the NL. Has he been for the whole year, no. But it’s not as great an injustice as you want to portray.

In the end, I don't really care whether he wins it.
He does, great! It’s a recognition of a sort that he richly deserves.
He gets snubbed, eh, not really a surprise – it probably went to someone who’s also a great pitcher. Either way, I’m just going to enjoy the fact that Ubaldo’s awesome and he pitches for my team.

And that’s precisely where I am. Honestly.
On a larger level, I want to see the best pitcher win. If Ubaldo wins, that doesn’t make him the best pitcher in the league, it and I’d hope even the most ardent Rockies fan understands that. But it is my favorite team, so it’s still kind of fleeting joy, I suppose.
On a larger level?!
On a larger level, I don’t give a flying #@^& about baseball awards at all. Sports awards that have nothing to do with the actual championship are meaningless, no exceptions, in every single sport. There’s a reason that I don’t post MVP MVP every time Cargo gets a hit, and why I haven’t been screaming about the Cy Young since Ubaldo’s no hitter.
I didn’t care if Duchene won RotY for the Avalanche any more than I cared if Tyler Myers won it for the Sabres, I was too busy watching both of the teams. I was confused when nobody on the 07 Rockies won an award of any sort, but I put it behind me as quickly as I heard about it because I was watching the team run to the World Series.
The only people who legitimately care about awards in sports are people whose teams stink and so that’s all they have to hold on to.

Dan Haren, Arizona – – 1 1
Yes, Lincecum was close to the top in xFIP, but the leader in xFIP got 1 vote, total, while the only other serious contenders in the voting finished tied for sixth in xFIP standings (and one of them probably would have won the award if not for the vote splitting factor) To be fair, the top 3 in the voting did directly mirror the top 3 in VORP, which may or may not be coincidence, I guess. And yeah, if that means that the voters are actually looking at VORP, Halladay wins. IF that’s what that means. The point is that there is far from a direct correlation between the voting and advanced stats.

You're still proceeding on the assumption
that I’m some blindered fan arguing for Ubaldo. I believe you’ll find I never did any such thing, if you’ll step down from your horse.

And, to be fair,
I wasn’t just saying it to you. I’m sort of pre-empting the backlash that will occur toward the voters. And I wanted to make a larger point about Cargo, which I think I made above.
That, is, not. my, point.
I was simply breaking down the stats that the voters are likely to be looking at.
Like I said, the voters are likely to be locked into the same mindset you are, or looking to reward Wainwright with 1 CY for 2 great back-to-back seasons. Neither outlook makes either picture better than Ubaldo over the course of the full 2010 season.
We're trying to win a (#)(*@$%#)@#&$#)^ argument here!!!!
Bazinga!!
I think you're vastly
underrating the intelligence of the voters. They’re getting better. And we should NOT be rooting for them to regress and award the guy with the most winners.
Do you think their should be a Coors adjustment for him though?
Since the hitters always get bashed for playing half their games at Coors it would stand to reason that it should go the other way for pitchers.
MY FACEBOOK STATUS:WAITING AROUND THE CORNER FOR FRANKLIN MORALES
Absolutely
Still doesn’t amount to what Halladay has done (in another hitter’s park). Halladay has more innings. He will finish with, roughly, 4 more starts worth of performance than Ubaldo. And he’s been absolutely amazing.
Show me where I was "rooting"
I listed the numbers on the mainstream stats,. Which, like it or not, carry the most weight with the voters.
We're trying to win a (#)(*@$%#)@#&$#)^ argument here!!!!
Bazinga!!
Halladay's strongest argument
would be that even if him and Ubaldo put up really similar numbers, Halladay will have pitched like 40 more innings, which is no small thing – that guys efficiency is nuts.

I'm really going to stop beating this drum, but...
A couple of weeks ago, I was galled at how everyone was rooting FOR the Padres against first the Giants and then the Phillies. Had they lost a couple of those games, they would be the ones concerned with the Wild Card standings now. I know you want your team to have its best chance to reach the postseason, whichever scenario that may be, but hoping to just finish second strikes me like Neville Chamberlain thinking “if we just let Hitler have Czechoslovakia, he’ll be content.” OK badly mismatched analogy, but point made.
Why do you do this every time?
At that point in time, the WC was our best shot…and no one really thought the Pads would swoon like they have.
So really however we get in is fine by me.

I have this disorder called opinionated intractability
Also known as “stubbornness” and apparently encoded on the Y chromosome. But I guess it’s just the principle of the thing. Still, cross my heart and hope to die, I’m not going there again.
I don't understand why it's a principal thing,
It almost seems like you’d rather we not be in the playoffs at all if we can’t win the division

Playoffs are the goal, period
I’d rather the Rockies not be known as “the NL Wild Card 3 of the past 4 years”… it just signifies that we’re not really over the hump yet. But I’d rather be the WC than not playing in October.
I actually knew someone who did feel that way, though. He’s a Giants fan, and he is completely, wholeheartedly, philosophically opposed to the WC, to the extent that (he claims) when the Giants went in as the WC in 2003 he actually rooted AGAINST them in the playoffs and then considered that World Series (against the Angels) as illegitimate because both teams were Wild Cards.
nobody will care (and most probably would not remember) that the rox were the wild card
if they win the series. I would even argue that winning the pennant in 07 > WC.

Saturday is an evening game
And I can probably get King Soopers’ tix, just need to know how many
not as punny as SDcat00
Well, I can try and get my own,
or I can pay you on Saturday, if we’re trying to get the same section.
Well, I'mma gonna buy after work tomorrow
Paying me on Saturday is fine, I just don’t want to end up with extras.
I’m either gonna get King Soopers, if they have the cheap tix, or the 1/2 Wells Fargo club seats (which will be $25 apiece).
So just let me know how many you want, and I’ll git’r’ done.
Hoping Muzia and AMart wanna go, too.
not as punny as SDcat00
Also might want to check
if you have four of you going for the value pack – i got one for Saturdays game – good deal if they have it still.

Of course it probably has something to do with her being a Sooner.

I was kinda hoping Arkansas would jump over to the Big 12..er, 10, er whatever they're going to go by.
They are closer to over half the teams in that conference than they are to Oxford, MS the closest school in the SEC.
the Pigs were in the SWC back as far as the '20s or something until they eloped with the SEC
Once upon a time it was the Pigs and the Cows just about every year.

Since I started seeing the ad, I’m like, “That guy looks like Dave. Maybe that is Dave. But maybe he just looks like Dave. But no, that really looks like Dave. But what are the chances? Okay, that’s got to be Dave.” And that’s where I’ve ended up.

MLB.tv is cool, but
They black out too many games. No Dodger – Padre game for me tonight :-(

Blacked out
I am in the Dodger black out zone. Of course if I had a TV I could just watch it on TV, so this may be also my own fault

I wonder how much extra I would be willing to pay
to have all the games with no blackouts

I know I've been whining about it all seson
But it ticks me off that in a state where they only broadcast the Cubs and Cardinals on my local stations, and I can occasionally listen to the Twins and White Sox on the radio, that I get blacked out any time the Rockies play the 6 teams that are border states to mine. And they played 5 of those teams this year.

I am just bitter because I am in the Dodger area
and they are in our division! Also we played the Angels this year, which sucked. and When I can I like to watch games like the one on right now

This is one of the random games not available on my Extra Innings. It’s not as if there aren’t plenty of channels currently showing nothing.

It seriously makes no sense.
There have been handful of games that I’ve noticed during the season that they aren’t showing. I would get it if it was a situation where every team was playing and there wasn’t enough channel real estate. But that is definitely not this situation.
I guess they just figure nobody wants
to watch a late season game between two teams that will finish 3rd and 4th in their division
"I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else" - W. Churchill
never minding its a game with a division leader.

No, I haven't.
Probably wouldn’t do any good for this game. But it would be interesting to know why certain games don’t get shown.
You might want to because if this happens in a Giant or Padre game that has major implications on the Rockies playoff chances in the last week of the season you will regret not doing it
Yankee Haters Encouragement Group Member #1
by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Sep 6, 2010 8:28 PM MDT up reply actions
I seriously doubt it would change anything.
And I get Giants games, anyway.
I did go to the Extra Innings website, and it specifies “up to 80 out-of-market games per week.” I haven’t done any actual counts, but I’m fairly certain there are usually more than that during a week. So they’d have to drop some. Why I’ve never had this problem for a Rockies game, I have no idea.
I wonder how many Rox fans will tune in Rays games now to follow Hawpe.

Has not been the case for me this year.

I am actually technically "off" until January
So I guess I shouldn’t complain.
I do have A LOT of work to do before then though, but it is on my own time
"I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else" - W. Churchill
We get two weeks off in December for Plant Shutdown
And I’ll end up taking at least a week off before that for the birth of my 3rd kid, and possibly more time in January.

Me too.
I’m a teacher. Yes, there’s those ten weeks off in summer, two at Xmas/New Year’s, and one in spring. But outside of those, I work seven days a week, evenings and weekends. There’s always something to grade, plan, record, etc.
You know what, in 2007, it was the beginning of my second year, and I was feeling overwhelmed and depressed about it all. The Rockies’ run really was my salvation.
I am a teacher/lecturer too
a whole lot of work that seemingly never ends

Why do people homeschool?
I have quite a strong instinctive reaction against it, mainly because it seems to produce a lot of standoffish, socially awkward oddbods (in my SSS limited experience!). Is it because your local schools are bad?
Its because
In public school, the child is limited to learn at the pace as everyone else in the class. Homeschooling allows the child to learn at their own pace. Also, there are plenty of opportunities to let children learn how social settings work.
My wife and I are planning on homeschooling, and trying to keep our kids in some sort of extra curricular activity to allow them to learn those social concepts.
The lack of Seth Smith's beard is irrational
Yankee Haters Encouragement Group Member #π
Cool, thanks for the explanation.
Socialisation is so so important, but it’s easy for me with my privileged private education to simply be unaware of the problems that exist in the state/public education system.
There are plenty of opportunities to socialize outside of school
The problem is that there are parents who don’t invest the time and effort required to make it happen. Besides, I would argue that schools aren’t necessarily very good at socializing people—segregating people by age does not tend to happen in the real world and does not prepare children for very much, in my experience.
In our family, so far, so good. My two older children can converse with adults better than some adults I know. :)

not for me
I worked my tail off and graduated (from a tough major in a really good engineering school with two degrees) with a hard-fought 3.17…
Grad school, on the other hand, insanely easy. Graduated 3.67 a semester early after spending my whole last year childbearing (literally – got pregnant in Jan, defended in Aug, had one more class to take, had a baby midterm in Oct, got my degree conferred 2 mo postpartum. Childbearing year is considered conception – 3mo postpartum).

I went to 2 high schools at the same time.
It was a strange setup. One was a tech high school. I didn’t think I could afford college at the time, so I decided to spend 3 classes of time learning computers and electronics (this was 94-95), and the other 3 classes meeting the other normal state requirements.
My senior year, I just needed .5 credits of English to graduate, so I had a serious case of senioritis and skipped class like crazy in the afternoons (not during my computer electronics class). Since my Computer electronics class graduated a week early before term ended I was officially out of the system by Clark County Public school rules. So I decided to take most of the last week of school off. I got the letter from my normal high school the day after I had my graduation ceremony from the Tech high school.

Matt Miller not getting the call-up (probably out of room on the 40-man roster).

It was fun with me and Destro in the beginning
He was as much a Mets fan as I was a Reds fan. Living in upstate NY, we got the Mets games, adn the Mets grew on me and became my #2 team. It was on when they played each other, though… I remember one particularly tense one, haha Destro ;-p

you know it.
did we speak a word to each other during the entire game? ;-p well, after my reds lost, I was a good sport and proceeded to root for the mets. I liked them, just not as much as my reds.

I’m the enigma that’s always suggesting old songs while everyone else is suggesting we do death metal from 2006 or whatever.

80s is old now... /sniff/

’63 was a great year, though.

My favorite decade is the 60’s because I’m such a Beatle nut, but I like everything equally.
And I only meant early 80’s, late 80’s is when I was born and therefore not old yet ;)

60s was my fave when I was a kid (grew up on it, thanks to my dad)
but now I appreciate the 80s more. and I was there for all of the 80s. ;-p

It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time.

That's about how I am.
Grew up on oldies, didn’t really listen to current music until the 90s (that’s what happens when you listen to your parents’ music and have no older siblings). So I didn’t really discover 80s music until after the 80s was over.
I listened to it, but denied it
since my mom preferred classical and my dad preferred oldies. I was always very eclectic.

I’ll catch up to the 80’s at some point, I’m sure. Just not for another 20 years or so at which point I’ll be hating the current 2030’s music.
