Wednesday Rockpile: So You're Saying There's A Chance

With their one-run win last night against the Reds, the Rockies moved back to ten games above .500 for the first time since losing to the Reds right after the All-Star break. Colorado has a chance to equal their high water mark in games over .500 and clinch the series win today with Aaron Cook going against Bronson Arroyo.

Playoff Update

Two weeks ago I wrote this:

It will likely take 92 wins to have a better than average chance of taking the NL Wild Card. This means that the Rockies will need a finishing kick of 27-10 AT MINIMUM to bring back Rocktober. Have the Rockies had any such streak this season? Well, no. Nor have they played well enough to lead me to believe that such a streak is very probable.

However, I am both a believer in the talent level of this team and in the fact that they play very well at Coors Field. Colorado plays 15 of its next 21 (and therefore 22 of its last 37) in Denver, where they've won two of every three they've played. What I'm saying is that the Rockies have a non-zero chance of pulling this thing off.

Since that time, Colorado has gone 9-4. During the fortnight, the Rockies have increased their chances significantly from a puncher's chance to 16.2% in the latest Baseball Prospectus rankings. According to BP's sim of the rest of the season, on average the NL West champion will have 92 wins and the Wild Card will win 91 games. This sounds right to me, as it would mean that the teams ahead of Colorado play at a realistic clip the rest of the way (14-11 or worse for SD, 14-9 for SF, 12-11 for ATL, and/or 12-10 for PHI) while the Rockies stay hot. 90 wins isn't likely to get it done, and 91 is cutting it pretty close, so I would still say that the number to be shooting for is 92 victories. 

As a result, this is the new playoff math: the Rockies likely need to go at least 17-7 for the Wild Card or 18-6 for the division from here on out. They have 14 home games remaining and 10 on the road, with all but six against divisional opponents. If Colorado just plays as they have all year, they would go 9-5 at home and 4-6 on the road, which won't get it done. If they can pick up two home wins on that pace (11-3) and three road victories (7-3), then they have their 18-6 finishing kick. The lesson is that even after their recent stellar play, Rocktober still doesn't look too likely for Colorado.

However, like I said two weeks ago, I'm a huge believer in the talent level of this team. They've done this sort of thing before and the teams the Rockies are chasing all have significant flaws. Here's hoping they can pull it off again.

Triple Crown Update

With his three run opposite field shot yesterday (32), Carlos Gonzalez gained sole possession of the league lead in two of the three Triple Crown categories, batting average (.340) and runs batted in (an even 100). He moved to within three bombs of league leader Albert Pujols. According to ESPN.com, CarGo has a 1.9% chance of winning the Triple Crown, only 0.9% behind Pujols.

The reason for this, according to Dan Szymborski of Baseball Think Factory (in yesterday's Rockpile comments) is that Pujols is hitting below his career averages while the people ahead of him (CarGo included) are likely playing over their true talent levels. Meanwhile, the four people tied with or ahead of CarGo for HRs are mostly on or slightly behind their regular HR pace, meaning that the numbers show Pujols winning the batting crown more than they see CarGo leading the league in homers.

SI's Joe Posnanski gives a balanced viewpoint on CarGo's H/R splits.

CBS' Scott Miller hopes that someone wins the Triple Crown this year. For many of us on this site, it would be the first we've ever seen.

Thoughts on the roster shuffle and more links after the jump.

Star-divide

Buchholz Out, Three Up

Unsurprisingly, the Rockies purchased the contract of OF Jay Payton and recalled RHP Edgmer Escalona from AAA yesterday. Escalona is another bullpen arm while the veteran Payton is being rewarded both for a good performance in Colorado Springs and for his perseverance in staying there all year as a 37 year old. If nothing else (and this is likely), Payton is another calming presence and a RH bat off the bench.

The surprise though was that Colorado likely closed the book on the 2006 Jason Jennings trade by designating Taylor Buchholz for assignment yesterday, calling up Paul Phillips. Word on the street is that Jim Tracy didn't trust Buchholz due to his recent injury history, and in any case there are plenty of arms in the Rockies' bullpen now. Phillips' promotion means a few things. One, we probably won't see much of Mike McKenry this month as Phillips likely will assume the third catcher role, and two, maybe Tracy will actually utilize Chris Iannetta or Miguel Olivo as pinch-hitters due to his improved catching depth.

The Rockies' 40 man roster is officially full, but they could still bring another player up and move Manny Corpas to the 60 day DL. Here's hoping they spring OFs Matt Miller or Cole Garner from their AAA purgatory (my preference is for Garner).

Stewart Setback

Ian Stewart had been scheduled to start a rehab stint with Casper today, but he had a setback with his ribs and the Rockies canceled the trip. The third baseman is eligible to return from the DL on Friday, but will likely take a few more days to recover. In the meantime, maybe Chris Nelson can get a start at the hot corner.

I would have thought they would have give him the offseason to get back to normal and see what he can do in the spring.

by Rosenort on Sep 8, 2010 8:40 AM MDT up reply actions  

Well, they may still do so, ultimately, on a minor league deal.

But he’s pitched 10 innings in the last two years, and been paid $1m a year each year to do it. And he’d be arb eligible now, I believe.

I hate this move for Bucky, because he’s a really likable guy, and he got some really big outs for us in ‘07 and ’08. But committing ourselves to more sunk costs into him, when he’s clearly still not near back to that form, is not a great use of resources.

by Mondogarage on Sep 8, 2010 9:18 AM MDT up reply actions  

I only heard it on the radio too.

But it sounded like the decision to go to the bag was at least questionable, when it was the catcher running up the line toward first. That lack of situational awareness would probably get one of the younger guys a day off.

by RoxnSox09 on Sep 8, 2010 9:05 AM MDT up reply actions  

It doesn't matter if he beat him or not

because if he had made the throw to 1st, there would have been no question. It was a mental mistake one way or another. Having said that, I think he just barely beat Votto to the bag. And RoxnSox is absolutely right, Stew would be hearing it if he had made the same play. Its frustrating, but as long as the Rox keep winning I can live w/ it.

No really I'm not. I know the difference betweeen Stewy and Uggla

I like Stewy. I think he’s a great defensive 3b when he’s making spectacular diving catches, spinning around and throwing out runners from his butt. But he has made some truly knuckleheaded plays.

Agree with most others here.

Stewart is a vastly superior defensive option at third than MelMo.

Unfortunately, Stewart is hurt, so it’s a moot point.

Though I would love to see Nelson get a legitimate chance and start a game or two.

At least Melvin’s been hitting well, lately (knocking on cyber wood).

I'm not sure this is fair

Stewy has made more errors, 4 more to be exact, but he has also started twice as many games as Mora at third. Overall Mora has exactly the same amount of errors as Stewy at eight while playing fewer games. Stewy is a better defensive player than Mora showing a .970 fielding percentage while Mora is .956. What I’m trying to say is that I’d much rather have Stewy at third than Mora. Also that error, if it was ruled an error, almost cost us the game for Mora just being stupid. If Stewy did it I would yell at him too, but no Mora doesn’t get a break.

yes and no

If he is not claimed, which is possible since he apparently is not physically ready for an mlb workload, he will be a free agent this offseason.

Of course, if they were willing to dfa him now for Phillips, it is doubtful they would WANT to sign him this offseason.

No, he would not be eligible

Though there are circumstances where another team could pick him up, then move one of their 40-man pitchers to a 60-day DL, and then I think they could. But no, they couldn’t just sign him up and then he’d be straight up eligible.

I think with the injuries, they want him on a MiLB contract to see if he’s really going to come back.

Possibly, but the one difference is....

….as horrifically bad as Rincon is, he’s not been trying to come back from two full lost years’ worth of injuries. I suspect some other team will offer him a contract first, and he signs with them, but then spends all or most of 2011 in the minors.

This actually surprised me quite a bit

because for some reason I feel a little more confident in our chances right now than I did in 2007, and the run was so amazing in 2007, and it seemed impossible that it would ever happen again. I really didn’t think it would take a similar run to do it again, but now that I see we do, it has depressed me a little.

it gives me a little hope that it has happened before though.

Anyone good at baseball maths

who can tell me what approx batting average Cargo and Pujols would have to have for the remaining games of the season for Albert to overtake?

by biondino on Sep 8, 2010 9:20 AM MDT reply actions  

Pujols and Cargo have 26 and 24 games remaining, respectively.

Assume they get 4.5 AB per game. If Cargo hits at his ZIPS projection of .308 for the rest of the season, he’ll get 33 more hits, raising his total to 205 and giving him a .334 average. In order to reach .335, Pujols needs an additional 53 hits. That means a .453 average over the remaining 117 ABs or so.

I personally think Cargo has the better chance, but then again, if Pujols hit just five more HRs it would be tough for Cargo to catch him.

agreed - great article

I do wish they would also spend time looking at some of the road parks our guys have to play in – mostly PetCo – what is it like moving from an extreme hitters park to an extreme pitchers park…and how does that mess with your swing and stats.

That was actually a well written article

and its about time someone explored the idea that Coors is destroying these guys on the road, so as much help as it is at home, it could be just as detrimental on the road.

something other than Coors inflates home numbers – it would be nice to see them look at what may cause the lower road numbers – including the Parks we play in – as well as articles like the CarGo God on the Mountain article.

I've noticed, for some reason, the national media's perception of Coors has remained the same

even though they understand the humidor affect. I think this happens because on one thing only. The Rox are NEVER put on national TV until the playoffs. So people get things stuck in their heads and they can’t get them out.

Even with the Rox recent playoff runs they STILL don’t receive national TV pub. Until this happens perception wont change….and even that is no guarantee.

The Rox have been on national TV 3 times this year if I"m not mistaken

The National League West as a whole is underrepresented on the National TV schedule too (although the Dodgers get more play than anyone else in the division) and this is the result when you have a primary sports network (ESPN) having a vested interest in pumping east coast teams.

It’s a hard wall to climb over.

This is very true

we have a team with no “history” a small fanbase, and in a timezone that people don’t care about. Maybe with this young core we have of Tulo, Cargo and Ubaldo (Chacin if he gets better next year, as well as Dex) winning some major awards – or hell even the triple crown this year- perhaps that can help.

Well

like you said the Rays have the luxury of playing against two large market teams – if they played anywhere else they wouldn’t be on national TV more than a handful of times a year.

It is going to take more than one trip to the WS for the Rox to get more national media attention.

The Nuggets gets more national TV pub, because of NBA broadcast rules

NBA and TNT are restricted to 6 national telecasts of a team per season.

As a result, most NBA teams are nationally telecasts at least 2-3 times per season, even with less games on the schedule than MLB teams.

The Broncos aren’t actually on national games very often anymore.

The Rox can do the same. The Nuggets actually get alot of ESPN games and those are network option games as the season progresses. The TNT games on Thursday are set. ABC games are total network call and the Nuggets get a couple of those a year.

by purplesocks on Sep 8, 2010 11:54 AM MDT up reply actions  

It takes consecutive division championships, or a world championship

The perception is that the Rockies are a flukey team that mysteriously gets hot at the end of the season. When the Rockies do get hot, they do get some coverage. Ubaldo got plenty of coverage earlier this year. But if you want to attract sustained national coverage, you either need a huge established fan base or to play consistently well for a few years.

Going back to the recent Wild Card vs Division conversations, this is one thing division championships will help with immensely.

Besides the Rockies (since we not their yet)

1. NYY
2. Boston

That’s it. So if we make it this year, in 2011, our national broadcast profile damn well better equal those four, or all arguments apologizing for, or denying the most blatant bias will be nothing but complete bullcarp and eff the Dodgers.

Because we would have been no worse than the 5th most successful team in baseball over that span (and arguably 4th, since the Dodgers didn’t even reach a WS in that span and eff the Dodgers).

and that was very well written as well and very interesting, but I think it proves the point that Coors taketh away as much as it giveth or at least close. Our hitters are having to constantly adjust to more movement on a fastball and then less movement, that has to be very difficult.

I love this part
I’m just wondering what would be thought appropriate for such actions. To my mind, it would be one of the most colossal scandals in the history of the game, arguably the most colossal, as it would involve an entire organization (presumably if it were being done, it would be known to key officials of the club—another reason I severely doubt it, as secrets of that magnitude are astoundingly hard to keep for long).

Two words. Barry Bonds.

Fans of an organization coddling, idolizing, and supporting one of the most notorious PED users in the history of sports, just because his hits ZOMG DINGERZ, accusing another team of accomodating cheating.

So LULZ, especially in the face of actual evidence to the contrary (MLB’s cameras trained on the humidor 24/7. Say what you will about evidence against Bonds not being admissible in a court of law, but the evidence is actually there (failed drug tests).

The real problem with Frisco Failfans is that they can’t cheat any longer with Bonds, so now they gotta find a way to bring others down to their level, no matter how factually wrong their theories are.

In that case

Trig was used to determine the optimal shapes for the lenses that you use in your photography. It also helps us understand reflection and refraction of light, thus it was used to produced the filters you use on your camera.

Here's some more playoff math:

The Padres are 4.5 games ahead of us. The Giants are 3.5. We have 3 games remaining against them both—at home, too. Therefore, it is definitely out of the question (albeit difficult) for the Rockies to sweep both series, putting us 1.5 and 0.5 back from the Padres and Giants, respectively. Then we simply need to outplay them both for the rest of the season, marginally. Given the way the Rockies have been playing, and have played down the stretch in the past, I’d say this definitely doable if they can take care of their own business.

My prediction: we will be playing #163 on October 4th.

by dsprings on Sep 8, 2010 12:43 PM MDT via mobile reply actions

Don't know if this was posted earlier

But here’s what Cliff Corcoran from SI.com has to say about the Triple Crown race

The odds are against any player winning the Triple Crown, as the last 42 seasons have shown, but if that drought is going to end this year, it won’t be perpetual Triple-Crown threat Prince Albert or the slugging star of the upstart Cincinnati Reds who will do it. It will be the slender 24-year-old Venezuelan kid who was traded twice in a calendar year less than two years ago. If anyone is going to win baseball’s Triple Crown in 2010, it will be Carlos Gonzalez.

The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.

Sat afternoon is the only one I’ll go to now. The rest are for amateurs. Sat afternoon is not nearly as crowded and no one is obnoxiously drunk. Also the awards are given out then, so that’s kind of cool as well. It gives you a chance to go around and taste the winners before they run out.

And you want to end your life,

And problems with the wife.

Where you can drink your misery away…
At Flaming Moe’s…. (Let’s all go to Flaming Moe’s…)
When liquor in a mug (Let’s all go to Flaming Moe’s…)
Can warm you like a hug. (Flaming Moe’s…)

Thanks!

One happy thing about this whole Melo fiasco is it’s introduced me to the addicting blog world of SBN.

Errr.. I'll say this in super hushed tones so this thread doesn't go veering off course...

but there had/have been rumors about Melo possibly wanting to be traded which has invoked strong feelings from Nuggets fans for/against trading and what types of trade packages are involved. Not to mention quite a few fans from other sports teams chiming in which is always … interesting.
