Monday Rockpile: The "Two Games Played" Overreactions

It's the perfect time of year for it: Small Sample Size overreactions. Teams are 2-4 games in and things don't look perfect for them, so the world is clearly over. Or other teams are performing far better than expected; they are clearly bound for the championship.
Troy Tulowitzki is 0fer so far, as is Ian Stewart, and Stewart looks especially lost over his 4PA, having struck out in 3 of 4 of them.
On the other side, Chris Iannetta, Jose Lopez, and Seth Smith are all raking. As a big Iannetta fan, I want to believe that he's really turned a corner and is really taking ownership of the job.
By that logic, the Rockies are going to have to reschedule 54 of their 162 games.
True as those things may be about Iannetta, he's not going to keep up at a .593 wOBA pace (where .330 is about average) and neither is Jose Lopez going to post a .495 wOBA nor Seth Smith a .423.
Seriously though, it's been 2 games for the Rockies so far, and I do think that most of the fanbase has been relatively well-behaved in the form of not flipping out over a couple of players' poor performances thus far. I mean, at least Root Sports isn't beginning the postgame show with a sign-on saying "The Season Is Not Over". Well, I guess at .500 thus far they wouldn't really need to.
But the fact is that there's no way to know anything definitive after 2 games. As Ken Tremendous put it:
Here's What We've Learned From the First Two Days
Nothing. You can't learn anything from the first two days. Everyone should stop trying to tell me what we've learned from the first two days.
Fact is, I could find you any number of 2-game stretches over the past several years where Tulo and Stewart have done just as poorly, and I could probably do the same for Lopez, Iannetta, and Smith where they succeeded as mightily. 2 games. That's it.
So don't worry. Ubaldo's going to regain grip of his fastball. Tulo and Stewart are not going to go 0-for-the season. Check back in May and we'll reassess the situation.
Rockies game postponed, no makeup date announced | All Things Rockies — Colorado Rockies news — Denver Post
The good news is that Ubaldo's finger is healing and the DLR finger blister is already taken care of. There is something more important to note though, for anyone StubHubbing tickets to yesterday's game:
Tickets purchased via StubHub need to be returned to StubHub for refund or exchange. StubHub tickets are not valid for exchange at Coors Field or the Rockies Dugout Stores.
MLB "authenticator" at Coors Field will monitor baseballs from humidor to game use - The Denver Post
"The Rockies could not have been more cooperative about this," Joe Garagiola Jr., MLB's senior vice president of standards and on-field operations, told The Denver Post.
Bunch of lying cheating snakes, cheating with the cheatingest of cheaters. Whatever, haters gonna hate, I'm sure there'll be a new "reason" to gripe soon enough.

I'm just wondering how long before a Giant or a Cardinal
think the ball-monitor is in cahoots with the MLB and the Rox to cover up everything.
And you just KNOW, that if the Rockies hitting falls off then it will be confirmation bias galore that something was amiss.

Just for fun
Here are the standings 2-3 games into last season. Don’t know if it was a coincidence or not but four of the six division champions and both Wild Card winners had already slotted themselves into the spot where they would finish the season (Ray, Twins, Yankees, Giants, Phillies and Braves).
The two N.L. teams who saw themselves at .500 (Mets and Marlins: both 1-1) would finish the season very close to that mark (Marlins 80-82 and the Mets 79-83)
And of the six teams to not have a win (Orioles, Nationals, Cubs, Reds, Dodgers and Astros), five of them would end up finishing fourth or worse in their division.
Is there anything to be learned from this?

That's not to say that Reynolds or Morales are going to be terrible.
Just that Reynolds is unproven and Morales is…exciting.
Fuentes, on the other hand, is a proven commodity despite occasional wildness. I’d certainly feel more secure trusting him in the 7th/8th vs. a potent lefty in a tie game than I would trusting a rookie or, uh, Frankie.

I remember Corpas was AMAZING in 2007 down the stretch.
I had so much confidence whenever he came in to get the save that it was locked up.
Kinda like Street in ’09.
I miss that feeling. Hopefully Street revives it soon.

The Braves should...

I like Huston, but I’m not sure he’s in a good place right now.
It was kind of funny listening to the radio guys during the pre-postponement delay yesterday. They were taking calls, and some kid who sounded about 8 or 9 called in to say “I don’t think Huston Street is getting the job done. He got lucky last night. I think they would win a lot more games with another closer.” For some reason the combination of the wild overreaction to one game and the little kid voice ripping into Street was pretty funny…

I’m off early tomorrow so I was thinking I’ll head over early and attempt to get autographs. I assume the best time to get them is during Rockies BP, correct? If so, what time does this usually start/end in comparison to the first pitch time? Should I go in right when the gates open? Thanks for you help!

Normally Rockies are done with BP
when fans are let in. Best time would be right after Dodgers practice or before the game at Coors.
If you for sure want a Rockies autograph, go to a road game, wear a Rockies Jersey (duh), show up for BP, call them by their first name or “Mr. Helton,” and throw a ball and a pen to a player in the outfield you can get the attention of.

I would say the same thing about the d bags bullpen
yet they do look improved with the Putz. Maybe they just want to be historically bad for their era this season, not historically bad for MLB.

A lot… Then I might still be disappointed, but not wrong.
BTW… I’m a long time Cubbie fan, but only because we got WGN and no local MLB team to root for. Much bigger Rox fan now, but kinda hard to let my first love die.

Well, Jorge said that he always develops that blister early in the year.
Ubaldo’s cuticle cut is more worrying because it happened in ST and then came back, but it seems minor if he actually lets the team address it instead of keeping it secret.
Unless Chacin gets a nasty hangnail tomorrow or something, I’m not really going to worry about it much and chalk it up to simply being unlucky.

Nice. Dex and Spilly will be hosting a show on 102.3 The Ticket

Does anyone else have problems getting teh Ticket now that it is 102.3?
it came in crystal clear in Boulder when it was 87.7 and now its all static. Plus when I was down in Denver on Friday, it wasn’t very clear anywhere I went
I'll try it later today...
Glad to hear they moved off of 87.7. My radio didn’t tune that low on the band.
I’m curious to see if Denver can support 3 all sports formatted radio stations, especially since all the prime play-by-play is dominated by KOA. I am confused about who does Nuggets and Avs these days. I thought it was MHSR but, most of the broadcasts are on AM950, 104.3’s old frequency.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a little war of attrition between the three of them. Two stations feels about right.
"My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" - Rainier Wolfcastle
I never listen to MHSR but Vic and Gary in the morning on The Ticket is my favorite show followed by the Drive home on the Fan

I have a quibble. While the MLB one is pretty cool, why is Matt Holliday being shown
in the segment about trailblazers in a Rockies uniform, walking away?
Helton really should have been in there as a trailblazer for being awesome and not walking away. (not saying it was wrong for Matt to walk away)

I remember talk about him last year
he was traded from Tor to Atl in the Alex Gonzalez/Yunel Escobar trade, and there was a lot of debate about whether he was really a prospect or if he was too small.
Atlanta then sent him and a couple other prospects to KC for Ankiel and Farnsworth, and he kind of came out of nowhere to make the team in KC this year. I watched a little of the game yesterday and he really looked pretty good. Seemed like the fans there love him, too.

That's interesting...
Now I’m a low-value contributor, who probably (inadvertently, and certainly unintentionally) depresses participation. I wonder if more front-paging of comments and fanposts (of sufficiently high quality) would drive participation up? Are the greened comments the kind that drives participation, or are they primarily appealing to those who already participate.
"Your classless organization in your unholy city accused our Team of an unspeakable act. It was baseless, the Giants are classless, and I have no sympathy for your eternal damnation."
I think baseball blogs might be a thing unto themselves
You are definitely not a low-value contributor that depresses participation….so just put that out of your mind right now ! !!!
Oh Mets...you really must learn that laughing at yourself
is your only option at this point

glavine, a couple good seasons, limped to 300
beltran, a couple good seasons, injuries led to team’s ridiculous hilarious collapses in late 00s
wright, moves to citi field, gets hit in the head, ceases baseball effectiveness
i feel like one more person not liking them and they’ll all just burst into tears and quit
