Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Troy Tulowitzki Hits Two Home Runs In Rockies 9-2 Rout Over Reds

Tonight's Rockies victory contained a bit of everything: rip-roaring fun on offense, solid pitching, a precautionary injury removal from the game, and a major league debut.

Despite a first inning hiccup for Aaron Cook, when he allowed a Joey Votto RBI single, this game was smooth sailing for the Rockies. Johnny Herrera struck first in the second inning with a two-run single, but Troy Tulowitzki dropped the hammer down the next inning when he unleashed a three-run homer to left field. Tulo was not done for the night, however. He led off the fifth inning with a solo homer to left, his 17th of the season. Two batters later, Seth Smith hit his 17th homer of the season too. Eric Young Jr. closed out the scoring with a two-run single to center field.

Back to Aaron Cook now. He threw 1-2-3 innings in three of the next four frames. And in that non-1-2-3 inning, he got a pitcher's best friend with runners on base: a double play! In the sixth inning Joey Votto hit a ball up the middle that hit Aaron Cook on the leg. He went down, but after a little while he walked off the field mostly on his own ability. Troy Renck tweets that Cook left with a "displaced right fibula fracture." He is likely done for the season.

Esmil Rogers allowed one run over the next two innings, and Manny Delcarmen relieved him in the eighth. He more or less did his job, inducing a double play after allowing a single and then getting a fly out after a walk. Samuel Deduno pitched a 1-2-3 inning, watching Yonder Alonso strike out to end the game.

Michael McKenry made his major league debut as a pinch-hitter for Esmil Rogers. He flied out to center field.

Its time to root hard for the Giants

I do anyway but only good things happen if the Giants sweep the Padres this weekend.

Sadly...

Cook has a non-displaced fracture of his fibula. When I had that, it was three weeks in a cast.

This

I can’t see him being able to throw until oct 1 at the earliest. And then would need to get arm strength back.

Not the kinda injury you can rehab the leg from. Bone’s gotta heal.

I don't recall the specific bone, but I believe so

Because he continued to pitch through that inning. If it were a weight bearing bone, no way in hell would he have done so.

by Mondogarage on Sep 9, 2010 7:28 AM MDT up reply actions  

Yep, same injury as Hirsh

I remember because I broke the same bone in my leg in
a hiking accident about 2 weeks before that. I could walk
on it & did not think it was broken at first, but after X-rays
confirmed the break, there’s not much that can be done
with it but put it in a cast for 3 – 4 weeks. No Cook
for the rest of the year. What a bummer. He’d put
together back-to-back excellent starts.

Pretty much

Because Giants and Pads have 7 more against one another. And Phils/Braves have at least 3 more. So those are 10 losses that teams in front of us will pick up. Unless they’re distributed perfectly…if we did win all of our remaining games, we have 98 wins, and we’re in.

He looks like he had gained some of his weight back, too… which some of us were asking him to do.

Sad for him to go down like this. No doubt the way he was pitching since his return, I would have been happy to see him out there every 5 days and in the bullpen for the playoffs.

I think a split is what we want here

Since we own the Padres. The Giants… notsomuch.

3-1 either way (especially 3-1 Padres, though) is rough because it requires the Rockies continue their winning streak through the weekend to ensure that they continue to pick up ground on BOTH teams. Only if they split can the Rockies allow a single loss to creep in without losing ground the remainder of the week.

I really, really doubt that they'd hold him back

just to have him face the Rockies. Even if the Padres win the first three and the Rockies win the next three, that would leave the Rockies 4.5 back and the Giants 5 back. Do you really think they’d mess with their rotation because of just a 1/2 game?

Re Cook:
“As far as time frame and things like that, this may not be a season-ending thing,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “We’ll take our time with that and see where it goes.”

I don't believe anything Jim Tracy says about injuries or illnesses anymore

This, my second signature, is not nearly as original as my first signature. Therefore, my signature pride is hereby lessened.

Well,

I’ve stayed up long enough. Gotta get a early start tomorrow: wanna watch the highlights before school : )

Aw, man, a day game tomorrow: I’m gonna miss it.

Goodnight, and may the Rockies win tomorrow.

I still believe...
This is R year!

I have to proctor an exam tomorrow during the game

I have had the game on during exams previously, but this time I am proctoring just one student who has a learning disability. I wonder if my cheering, clapping, and screaming will adversely affect her performance?

Only one way to find out
