For the second straight night, the heavy underdog prevailed against a stacked team, as this time the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, who were seemingly unanimous World Series champion favorites, in five games. Chris Carpenter outdueled Roy Halladay, while Rafael Furcal (who has been mentioned as a longshot target for the Rockies this offseason) and Skip Schumaker provided all of the offense the Cards needed in the 1-0 victory. Meanwhile, the NL West champion Diamondbacks lost a heartbreaker to the Brewers, who won their first playoff series since 1982. Congratulations to both teams and their tremendous fanbases.
Salt River 4, Mesa 3 | MLB.com: Gameday
Nolan Arenado had another big day in Arizona Fall League play yesterday, as he drove in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the seventh and the game-winner in the bottom of the ninth. The hit in the seventh was a one out single, while the walk-off was in the form of an RBI groundout/error combination. Arenado is hitting .333 with four RBI. Tim Wheeler went 0-for-4 yesterday to drop his average to .235. No other Rockies prospects participated in yesterday's contest. Follow along today, as the Rafters face Mesa again at 6:35 PM.
2012 Arizona Baseball Schedule Announced - University of Arizona Wildcats Official Athletic Site
Historic Hi Corbett Field, former spring training home of our Rockies, is going to get put to good use for the first time since the Rockies left after the 2010 season. The University of Arizona baseball team will be playing a little over half of their 2012 baseball games at the Tucson ballpark. Good to see.

Arenado
is one of the reasons why I think 2b is a bigger need than 3b this offseason. That and there is no one in our system who could even be an average bat at the position, unless Chris Nelson can learn to walk. I’m not sold on Ellis, even if he was better than everyone else we had. Atleast Ian Stewart could return to being adequate for a year. If he doesn’t then Arenado is waiting. I really hope they wouldn’t trade Arenado for a veteran 3B. Given the chance, I wouldn’t trade him for Wright straight up, let alone throw in another prospect.
especially not in a deal that starts with him and pomeranz
and only gets more expensive
the only organization of humans responsible for more evil in the universe than the philadelphia phillies is the boston red sox
be happy, because 2012 is coming.
I don't think there's a chance in hell
of us including Arenado in any deal. If I’m wrong, then I’ll lose all faith in our ownership in future. I just don’t think we should force a deal and get rid of top prospects for a short-term solution to be more competitive for 2012. As for 2b, it doesn’t seem like there are any real impact bats at that position on the market, but I think we have actually do have a couple players in the system, albeit a year or two away from the majors, who are potentially capable of being above-average bats at that position. We’ll get to see a lot more about Rutledge in Tulsa, as well as Story in Asheville.
I hope not
I think that was rumored in the rockpile a few days ago.
I think there are a couble 2b options who have big upside. Prado is one, the other is Kelly Johnson. They’re both rebound candidates, so you’d be taking a risk. Either guy is worth it the short term until Rutledge/Story are ready.
with a protected 1st round pick
i think johnson might be the better and easier target, if AA doesn’t sign an extension for him as part of his master plans to conquer the world
the only organization of humans responsible for more evil in the universe than the philadelphia phillies is the boston red sox
be happy, because 2012 is coming.
There are dozens of players I'd be happy to trade Arenado for ...
And I sure hope management is exploring those kinds of options. Declaring low-minors players untouchable and assuming they’ll be above replacement major leaguers is probably the surest way to create a losing tradition in baseball. He could get hurt, regress, turn out to be unable to hit a good change-up. Anything is possible.

"dozens," really?
i could think of maybe 10. i’d be eager to see your list
the only organization of humans responsible for more evil in the universe than the philadelphia phillies is the boston red sox

I think the 3B situation league-wide is a pretty good reason
to be really cautious about trading Arenado.
schadenfreude:

Ouch
I liked seeing the Phillies lose, but didn’t like that. Even though he’s nto the great player some make him out to be, I kind of like the guy. He just seems like the jolly big man who can’t get enough from subway.
subway is delicious
can’t really blame him

It was awkward because he sort of tripped over his own bat as he dropped it.
It looked to me like he stumbled going out of the box because of that, and then hurt himself as he tried to quickly get up.

I would be fine with 5 games ending 1-0 or 2-1 because of the good pitching and such. A heated brawl or blood boiling would make it just that much more enjoyable.

Yep
I love series like that, or games for that matter. It gives me a better chance to learn because I’m not secretly hoping someone will fall down or strike out in a situation. It allows me to watch for patterns and study the mechanics of certain players.

Why didn't the baserunner run on that play
and force the Rangers to make the easy play at home? Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? That’s what the Rockies would do.
No
just Detroit coming to town in the playoffs. The rain seems to follow them.

Uhhhhhhh.
Why even start the game up again if you’re going to have another delay. Kinda silly.
@CentralCaliRox
So, is it in another rain delay or postponed?

Still delayed

Someone just used WAR
to degrade Young and up Kinsler on the radio. Funny

He goes on to say
Young doesn’t hit for power or take walks but his slugging% is .474 and his OBP is .380? He also railed on MY defense but he has no case as MY was the primary DH and filled in at 3rd when Beltre went down. That was the funniest call I’ve heard.

Still delayed.
Not listening, so I don’t know expected return time. They had no idea 15 minutes ago.
I heard cheering in the background
on the radio, not that I know what that is.

So. 104.3 just cut the game coverage
to do an Avs React program, with literally no warning. Now I have to go get my iPod to listen to the rest of the game. meh.
Well that's lame

Interesting contrast in strategies.
Texas will use relievers to cover 4 1/3 innings.
Detroit will use a starter to cover 5, maybe.
The next pitcher for Texas
was a starter all season, and conveniently won all 3 games Texas beat Detroit this year.

Define chilly?
It’s getting below 40 here in the Denver area tonight and we had snow this morning.

The article is very accurate
they were everywhere. We watched them fly over the stadium wondering what they were, and then they started to come down. First they were just over the field and the players were smacking at them but then they came over the crowd a little bit and the game got called. It was the most interesting spring training game I’ve been to.

I would have been out of there so fast.
I’ve never been stung in my life, which has made even more scared of them than is probably warranted.
I remember the next game they played there

i get the feeling this whole series is going to be like this
low scoring, one to two run differences in the end
the only organization of humans responsible for more evil in the universe than the philadelphia phillies is the boston red sox
be happy, because 2012 is coming.
