Daylight Robbery: Brazen Chris Nelson robs Reds, steals home in 6-5 Rockies win

The Colorado Rockies fought back from an early 5-0 deficit, finally taking a lead on a dramatic eighth inning steal of home by rookie Chris Nelson, to sweep the Cincinnati Reds with a 6-5 victory on Thursday. Nelson was put in as a pinch runner for Jason Giambi after the first baseman drew a walk following a game tying Troy Tulowitzki home run. Nelson advanced to third on an error when Joey Votto made a poor flip to Nick Masset covering first on a Melvin Mora grounder. The Reds mental breakdown continued as Masset then allowed Nelson the lead he needed to swipe his first MLB base, home plate at Coors, for the Rockies win.
Giambi started the Rockies comeback with a two run home run off Reds starter Travis Wood in the bottom of the fourth. The Rockies kept chipping away after that, Dexter Fowler doubled in Eric Young the following inning, and Ryan Spilborghs (walk,) Chris Iannetta (double,) and Jonathan Herrera (RBI grounder) combined for the Rockies fourth run.
Jason Hammel gave up the five early runs (one scored in the first, four in the second) thanks to some poor defense and wild pitching, but showed the same kind of resiliency that the team did in sticking out seven innings. His effectiveness for the remainder of his start allowed the Rockies to claw back.
Matt Belisle picked up the win by pitching a scoreless eighth, and Huston Street struck out three of the four batters he faced in the ninth to pick up the save.
The Rockies now have a 41-28 record against teams with a .500 or better record, equal to Philadelphia for tops in the National League.
The Rockies will find themselves a little closer to one of those two teams ahead of them tomorrow after tonight's Giants-Padres game.

Because that is the effort given by this team.
I was at work listen to the game with a Cubs fan. We where down 5-0 in the 2nd…told him we would come back and win…CarGo came to bat, attemted a bunt…Cubs fan said what did he just do…I said tries to put down a bunt…Then I told him listen he’ll hit a HR know…and then CarGo hit a deep ball about 5 feet from a homerun…so close on that 1 but got the win…LOL!!!
GO TEAM!

That was so crazy
That was SO CRAZY
THAT WAS SO CRAZY
Craziest part? It’s not even the most outlandish and amazing thing we’ve seen the Rockies do in the past few Septembers. There might not be a more insane or endearing team in all of Major League Baseball. + I love them so much.
+ not that I’m biased or anything
++ then they do awful things like losing that one-game makeup to the Phillies
+ screw it I love them anyway

More Mitch Williams gems:
“He got that ball up and got away with it. OH HE DIDN’T GET AWAY WITH IT!! That ball kept carrying and carrying, I thought he popped that ball up. You look at that ball of the bat, at that angle, it’s a popup.”
Ball landed 10 rows up in the RF stands Mitch, get some glasses. Reminds me of the call from Major League, “It’s too high!! Too high!! Can’t be a homerun!”
Also I just saw CarGo’s dp against Chapman, and he faced a 101mph fastball between two 86 mph sliders. That’s nasty! and for CarGo to even stand in there and hack at it is pretty cool in my book.

I was mainly referencing his dashing good looks.
Not expecting him to actually manipulate women or anything.
My sister swears everybody who voted for Smith in the Hottest Rockie Poll is crazy, because Dex is “clearly the hottest one on that team.”
Neither do I.
From my perspective its either Dex or Huston.
Though CarGo ain’t bad either.
Tulo was better before the mullet.
Mrs. Tulo must be the most tolerant woman in the world
First she puts up with Tulo saying something to the effect that “she knows baseball comes first”
Then she puts up with that hideous dead animal on his head
The Seldom Herd
Huston.
Dex and CarGo are very strong runners up.

To be fair,
the poll was taken whilst he was bearded and man what a difference did that make.
Also, the poll wasn’t hottest rockie. It was best looking..very different things.

Imagine that
ESPN dont care about what we do. We dont get no respect from any of them. They can keep covering all the coast teams while we will continue to head for ROCKTOBER
Rob Neyer said we weren't getting overlooked, because LOLCOORZ speeds up runners stealing home
not as punny as SDcat00
The humidor allows runners to steal home because...
… ummm…
… ummm…
it increases the effect of the thin air on the pitcher’s brain?
That’s all I’ve got.
"Are they called the Rockies because they rock?" - 7 y.o.
the thin air
allows Rockies baserunners to run faster. Of course, we use humidor air when the opposition is on the bases.
It's the chicken excrement - makes sliding into home slippery and fast

I think he might have made it even if Masset steps off, then throws home.
As soon as a pitcher steps off the back of the mound when a steal of home is being attempted, it’s usually over.

Yeah, I totally agree, but it's so rare that it almost always catches the pitcher off guard.
I rarely see a pitcher handle that situation perfectly.
It was a calculated gamble and it paid off.

Olivo drove the next pitch into Left Field
And Gomes had to lay out to catch it – no way he would have thrown out Nelson.
But the steal was much more exciting anyway.

Dammit. I thought I'd seen everything in the stealing home department...
I’ve seen a successful Albert Belle / Harold Baines double steal and now a straight up steal of home presumably without a broken squeeze on.
But I’ve never seen a walkoff steal of home. That would be amazing. Guess I’ll just have to keep watching this maddening game we call baseball.

So many things to comment after a game like that...
but I’ll restrict myself to two:
1. Speed KILLS. Not just Chris Mothertrucking Nelson, but moreso EY scoring from first on a ball that an outfielder cut off. I mean, there are not many (maybe 5? maybe?) guys in the league that score there. Just amazing, and there’s the reason the kid deserves every chance to win that job.
2. Do we know if Tracy called the steal or if Nelson went on his own? If the former, props to Tracy, who already nailed it with the hit and run with Mora earlier. But if it was all Nelson, I’m buying the kid’s jersey. Either way, beautiful.

It's improbable, but the Rockies could lead the NL West after the homestand
Three things have to happen:
1. Rockies sweep D-Backs and Pads
2. Pads and Gints split this weekend
3. Dogs take at least one game in SF next week
If that all happens, we’ll have:
Rockies 82-64
Padres 81-64 .5 GB
Giants 82-65 .5 GB
Like I said, it’s improbable, but we did just win a game on a steal of home by Chris Nelson.
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
Wow that sounds doable.
But that Padres sweep is going to be hard. Don’t we face Latos? And we won’t have Ubaldo on the mound.. Plus the Padres will get Francis fresh off the DL and not stretched out.

Lots of speculation that they’ll give him an extra day and have him pitch @ Coors on Monday instead of Petco on Sunday. Seems to me that if you want to protect the kid’s arm, you throw him at Petco on normal rest instead of possibly getting beat up and throwing lots of pitches at LOLCOORZ.
Anybody have positive confirmation he’s going Monday?

This is really best for everyone. If he ever gets all his velocity back, he’ll be a useful reliever for more years to come. But the DFA wasn’t a ZOMG bad move by the club.

Like I was hinting at, it freed up a crowded bullpen.
With Buchholz around, our starting bullpen was going to be Street, Betancourt, Belisle, Delcarmen, Buchholz, Morales, and probably a long reliever instead of another lefty, possibly Rogers. Now we have the extra spot for Reynolds. There is still a possibility we find a way to off Morales in the offseason, and that leads to a spot for either Daley or signing another lefty like Beimel.

I see Pujols is on that list. So I can expect the same type of career trajectory for Nelson.
Jackpot.
Luis Pujols was a very very slow catcher for the 'Stros
it had to have happened on a double steal, or
alternatively the pitcher having a heart attack when
he saw him taking off.
If I had to bet a thousand dollars on someone NOT being
on that list, Luis Pujols is probably who I’d have picked
Mediocrity sucks
the last two before Nelson were CATCHERS?
Those have to be part of a double steal, not a straight steal

Not sure about them being speedy catchers
Millers only career (as of today) steal has been that steal of home and DiFelice had 3 stolen bases in his cereer
by Bostjan Cernensek on Sep 9, 2010 6:10 PM MDT up reply actions
Miller's was a straight steal, I believe...
there was an article in SI a few weeks back about stealing home (and how nobody had done it this year)

Nice work on the research
Let’s hope Nelson has a better career than those no-namers.

Man, do I love being a Rockies fan!
I love how we started coming back when I starting listening after school.
I love how Giambi immediatly hit a home run.
I love how the crowd cheered for Cargo (both times) and how they chanted MVP! MVP! MVP!
I love how Hammel got out of it.
I love how Tulo hit a home run.
I love how Chris Nelson stole home, I love the radio call: it was awesome since it hardly ever happens.
I love how Huston Street struck out the side.
And I love how no matter this season ends, we are having fun making memories and playing exciting baseball.
BelieveR!!!!!!!

I must admit, after Hammel's bad inning, he was effin' lockdown
I heard the Stubbs dinger may have been Bartman’d. Can anyone who watched on TV confirm? No way to tell from where my seat was, and there was no replay on the big screen…
not as punny as SDcat00
It was very close.

Bartman'd no
the fan seemed to interfere with the ball but I don’t think there was anyway cargo could have caught it
According to the game article in the DP
a fan’s glove did touch CarGo’s glove….not saying he would have made the catch.

Pujols goes deep
7-3 Cards. Bad for Cargo’s triple crown bid, but good for the Rockies (which is all that matters)
I really do not believe what happened today.
Free Chris Nelson? Screw that noise. He did it his own damn self.

Yeah, I didn't really appreciate Tracy trying to
take some of the credit, saying he had a squeeze called &
Nelson just left a little early. Didn’t have a damn thing to
do with the squeeze. Nelson would’ve been leading off anyway.
Just give the kid credit for a heady play … support your players,
don’t try to take personal credit for everything.
Mediocrity sucks
Seriously.
Chris Nelson has brass balls the size of Texas. That’s something this team can use at this time of year. Just roll with it, Jim. Yeah, it was a risky play that turned out lucky, but fortune favors the bold.
As I put on my Twitter feed: “Chris Nelson steals home? You have GOT to be kidding me! Yep…it’s September in Denver.”

This is quite a dilemma for sure
In the end I don’t care – there will be four losses between these two teams.
But following the game, I think I want the team behind in the standings to win – so the Giants.
But I agree, I do hate them more than the Padres. And they are probably a bigger threat anyway.

I want to give Jason Hammel some love for his performance today
I know he gave up five runs early but his ability to completely shut down the Reds after the second inning and give the Rockies a chance to come back was a huge key to this game. Major props to him for that recovery.
The Rockies today looked like a championship team.

This this this
I was so pissed off after the 2nd inning, I had to leave my seat for an inning and a half. But really, for the most part, Jason pitched really well, and completely locked down the Reds after the 2nd.
It’s helpful to remember the Reds are the highest scoring team in the NL, shouldn’t be surprised they were able to bust out for five runs one time here. Big big props to Hammel for settling down and doing great work. And kudos to Tracy for letting him stay out there. His pitch count ended up not bad at all for 7.

I had the same reaction after the second inning. I was thinking “how the hell are we down by 5? Hammel has not pitched that badly”

Sounds good to me.
Seriously, I’m sick of the Pads. They’re showing their true colors now. I keep getting told I can’t discount the rest of their season. Well, yeah, I can. They were really lucky and nothing more. They live and die by BABIP, it seems, and these things eventually even out.
We’ll have our precious humidor for our next series with them. They, however, will not have their precious Petco to artificially inflate their pitching staff’s stats. I mean, that’s just as valid of an argument as the whole LOLHUMIDORZ crap, right? Not that it matters since we own them no matter where we play.
(I’m sure all 15 Padres fans are foaming at the mouth right now, but whatever.)
I’m sorry, but they’re still a AAAA team that’s punching well above their weight. Nothing more, nothing less. Even if they do make the playoffs, they will fold like a house of cards at some point, even if it’s against the MFY in the World Series.

How many more starts for Chacin?
Last year in the minors and with the Rockies he totaled 128 IP. This year including the minors he just got to 148 IP. Generally they say a rookie should increase only by 30 IP that first season. After his start against AZ on Sunday, there’s room for him to go 3 more times if everyone goes on a normal schedule. It should only put him about 14-18 Innings over that 30 inning threshold, so I don’t really see it as a big deal but was curious if anyones heard the Rockies mention a limit on him?
No, I haven't.
But they haven’t really been keeping him in past six. So, if he keeps that up and has four more starts, that takes him to 172, which is 14 over his theoretical 158 limit.
That said, with Cook out, we don’t have the luxury of babying him now. And while 172 would be quite a jump, it’s not 190 or 200.
not as punny as SDcat00
Chacin pitched 177 innings in 2008, so this isn't unmarked territory for him..
Latos on the other hand is already 50 more innings than he’s ever thrown. He pitched 122 last year and 56 in 2008.

Yeah, if he’s already done 177, then 172 shouldn’t be bad.
That said, he did jump from 92 to 177 in his age 20 year. So that could be a warning sign down the road.

He’s only had 17 major league starts; seven appearances out of the bullpen. Perhaps some of those major league innings weren’t as stressful on his arm as a result? No idea, just tossing that out there.

Good job by Rockies fans, we’re 10th overall (all 30 teams) with 35,724 average attendance. SD is at 25,567.

That would be perfect if we miss him. ESPN has Latos listed for Saturdays game, but what do they know.

Yes I think it was a mistake
Not a mental mistake, an actual mistake. I think he had a disconnect and just started running too soon…
Rookie getting a little anxious for the sacrifice. You could tell in the post game interview that he didn’t really plan to do it. His reaction to the question of whether it was called or on him was the best example.
I loved it post hoc, but it wasn’t wise, and contrary to everyone who thinks this justifies him playing more I actually think it is a tell tale sign that he needs to get more experience and shake out the butterflies in low leverage situations. In the final analysis, he (and all of us) got very lucky.
"I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else" - W. Churchill
Nelson said he saw that the pitcher was not paying attention to him and went for it.
“I noticed that Masset was keeping his head down. It was a squeeze (play). I just took off. I knew I was going to make it,” Nelson said. “I have never done anything like that before, no.”

In print he sounds a lot more confident
The radio interview he did right after the fact sounded like he got away with a mistake. I don’t know where it might be archived, but I heard that on KOA and I knew we did it half by accident..
Don’t get me wrong it was practically the most awesome thing I have seen, and I loved it. But I do not think it was completely intentional, and I certainly don’t think it was a good idea.

he got very lucky on that one, considering that next batter hit a fly ball that would have scored him had be been gunned down leaving while the pitcher was still in his set.

by giant4life83 on Sep 10, 2010 3:16 AM MDT up reply actions
I'd agree except
there’s really no time you can steal home and it not be a horrible idea on paper.
Honestly, if Chris Nelson is being straight with us, and he saw that Masset would just zone out before pitches and he read him well and then made a dash for it, it was a genius play.
Also, every team is going to know this, and providing one more thing to worry about can never be a bad thing.
"These are thin mints. I put them in the freezer. My favorites. So good."

This
stealing home is always a crazy gamble. It’s only ever a good idea in retrospect. In this case, I’m thrilled that he did it. Of course, we’d all be talking about how he ruined the 8th inning opp if it hadn’t worked.

There is a bit of a logical fallacy here
Fortune may only come (or come preferentially) to those who are bold
But many who are bold are also thrown out at home

One final thought
Before signing off for the night.
With Atlanta’s loss, the Rockies are once again in control of their own destiny of making the playoffs. The Rockies trail Philly by 4 in the loss column and the Braves by 3. They play each other 6 more times. No matter how their games play out Colorado will catch at least one of them by simply (yeah, so simple) winning out.
Of course the other team is SF… they get 3 games direct against the Giants and only trail by 2 in the loss column.
Mathematically, there is no worse case scenario that puts the playoffs out of reach of the Rockies without the Rockies having any say in the outcome.
Wyoming baseball --- GO GHOSTS!
well, of course, all teams control their own destiny in mid-september.
personally, I think we are going to take the division, and you guys will take the WC (or at least battle ATL to the death for it).
SD plays 4 in STL while we play MIL next weekend. We should be in first by 3 games heading into that series, so I imagine you guys will be tied with SD or a game up on them by then too.
by giant4life83 on Sep 10, 2010 3:20 AM MDT up reply actions
Actually a majority of teams do not have control of their destiny
In fact, several teams have already been mathematically eliminated (such as the Nationals, despite their elimination number not yet hitting 0 – this is due to the fact that someone has to win all those games between the Phillies and Braves.)
Colorado did not have control of their destiny at the conclusion of their game yesterday, despite being 12 games over .500 on the 9th of September. It required the loss by Atlanta for them to be guaranteed a world series victory if they never lose a game in 2010 from this point on.
Granted, one might expect it to be easy to pick up 5 games or less in 3.5 weeks if they never lost another game, but sometimes that team being chansed can be just as hot and if you don’t play them again, you might never get the chance to overtake them. That is nearly what happened to Colorado in 2007. They won 11 straight games in late September and only picked up 3.5 games on San Diego during that time… despite three of those Rockies wins being directly against the Padres – San Diego just wasn’t losing to any team not named the Rockies during the same stretch. If Colorado and SD hadn’t had those head to head games I figure Colorado would have finished the season with that amazing stretch and had nothing to show for it.
Wyoming baseball --- GO GHOSTS!
Whats the tie breaker like for SF?
I know we got the tie-breaker with SD, so a tie is a win for us.
We are up on SF too head-to-head as well right?
At the moment the Rockies have a 1 game edge on the Giants
With 3 games left to play the Rockies must win at least 2 of those games to maintain the tiebreaker edge. I am not sure what the next level of tiebreaker edge would be if the Rockies and Giants finish with equal records for a playoff spot and a 9-9 record against each other (which happens if SF wins 2 of 3 in Coors in a couple weeks)
Regardless, the tiebreaker only determines who is the division leader and who is the WC team should both teams be guaranteed outright playoff spots… or home field advantage if one of the two teams is to be eliminated from playoff contention. A play in game would still be played in that situation.

I thought this was interesting - just read it today, in an interview with former world javelin champ Steve Backley
“Jan Zelezny [Backley’s big rival] tried out for the Atlanta Braves and they were very impressed with his speed of relase, which was over 100mph, which only the top pitchers can do, but his aim wasn’t so flash. In fact, at this media day they set up to have another look at him he hit a Japanese photographer, which I found quite amusing. But apparently in the Atlanta Braves stadium, only three people have ever thrown a home run from the plate where you hit from, which is about 120 yards or something… and he did it with his first throw. You see, throwing flat wasn’t so easy but once you have to put a bit of elevation into it like a javelin thrower he was brilliant.”
Love this quote
From Fanhouse’s recap of the game.
With the Rockies winning and the Reds losing Thursday, there is perhaps a bit more hope for the pursuers in the NL races. It will still take quite a run for the Cardinals to overtake the Reds, and the Rockies are faced with leapfrogging both the Padres and Giants in the NL West, but stranger things have happened. And they usually seem to involve the Rockies.
Talk about reason #4583 as to why I love the Rockies. There is not a team in Baseball that is more fun to watch. Hell, look even at Modesto, they’re way down the totem pole, but they’re doing it in the same fashion!
Wow
That was the coolest thing I have seen in awhile.
The best month of the year, ROCKTOBER!
