Rockies feast on Padres pitching early, but give it all back as Brad Hawpe has his revenge

in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintBrad Hawpe has seen his share of games turn quickly at Coors Field, and has even played his part in a fair number of them. For all of those prior to Saturday afternoon he was wearing a Rockies uniform, but on this rain soaked day he played the part of spoiler in a Padres uniform, launching a ninth inning, two run home run to cap a Padres comeback 9-7 victory over a befuddled Rockies team that disappeared about halfway through the contest.
Early, on it looked good as the Rockies shot out to a 7-1 lead. Todd Helton and Carlos Gonzalez hit home runs. Troy Tulowitzki and Seth Smith lined laser doubles. Jonathan Herrera and Chris Iannetta did their getting-on-base and keep-the-offense-chugging-along things and the Rockies starting third baseman even added a pair of hits and an RBI. This well oiled machine is the way that the Rockies envisioned their 2011 offense running during the off-season, only a couple of the parts are a bit different than they likely intended. Ty Wigginton notably has stepped up to grab the reins for the third base position where Ian Stewart and Jose Lopez let them go in several shots already.
For Helton, the home run continues his extra base hit resurgence, the bomb was his fifth of the season already, not quite a quarter of the way in, and his 14th extra base hit a season after he collected 27. For Gonzalez, it continues what's quietly turning into a very solid month of May, as he's showing the type of power that made him an MVP candidate last season, and adding in pitch selection with a new, more patient approach.
Jhoulys Chacin pitched masterfully for six innings before losing his command and concentration in the seventh inning. Two walks, a single and a two run two error mistake given up in that frame marred what had been a one run, four hit allowed effort before that. Matt Lindstrom came on in relief and allowed two more runs to score before finally closing the inning with the Rockies still ahead by two. Rafael Betancourt couldn't perform any better in the top of the eighth, allowing the Padres to tie the score.
The Rockies at first survived one close call in the ninth, when a leadoff double given up Huston Street to Will Venable proved for naught. Venable was sacrificed to third and then on a Jorge Cantu grounder was called out at the plate thanks to the defense of Wigginton at the hot corner and Iannetta blocking the plate, and Colorado was an out away of pushing the tie game to the bottom of the ninth. A couple of pitches later, however, Hawpe would make that play futile with his two run bomb, driving in Cantu and providing the margin of victory.
Where the Rockies late inning pitching was a leaky ship that couldn't sink fast enough, the Padres' remained airtight and secure. After Colorado chased San Diego starter Aaron Harang one out into the fifth inning, Four Padres relievers came on and combined for four and two thirds innings of perfect, no hit, no walk baseball to allow their offense to get back in the game and eventually take the lead.
The series now tied at one apiece, the two teams will play the rubber match tomorrow afternoon.

This team can't afford to waste their rare offensive outburst like that though
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
I'm frankly surprised by all your doom and gloom of late
Losing games hurt, and losing games they should have won hurts more, but there is absolutely nothing outside of an injury that they “can’t afford” to do. They are down one half game with 125 left.

I don't want to be subject to the ups-and-downs of the season, at least emotionally
But Ubaldo’s struggles have me doubting the playoff chances of the team.
I think there may be some fundamental problems that have made Ubaldo simply a worse pitcher.
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
That's a fair assessment
If his mechanical problems aren’t fixed, it will be difficult to rebound to make the playoffs. Very difficult. And you’re right that today’s game hurt, and that it could be isolated as a reason they don’t make the playoffs if they miss by one game. But in terms of wasting the offensive output, they’ve also wasted 7 shutout innings by their 4th starter and wasted a very strong start against a division rival by their eighth starter. It has gone both ways. And as down as the offense is, they will score 7 runs more often this year than those two gems combined. There are plenty of red flags here, so your concern is valid. Going for the sweep tomorrow would have been a great way to move into the Giants series instead of having to fend off a series loss at home.

Fuglyyyyyyyyy chart
And really bummed this wrap went up so fast when the one we could have used to gloat last night took forever.
Gloat. Such an unpretty word.
And now there’s two of ’em in that subject line.
Wouldn’t enjoy be easier on the senses?
Damn, looks like I napped through all the day’s festivities agin. I hate it when I do that.
It is of no matter, as I caved and bought MLB – TV the other day. Nothing will be missed from here on out.
Except, perhaps, the light of day…
The nap was necessary. Went for a bike ride, and I left late. Though I was up at dawn it was noon before I launched.
Tired when I left, worse when I returned. But as in previous journeys I passed an item of interest en route.
At first glance it appeared to be a book of some sort. And as I rolled by I thought “Damn,. that looked like a baseball scoring book. I wonder if it was?”
’Twas.
Now I’m finally going to learn how to score, heh heh.
(Insert cheesy scoring reference here. Oh, wait – I just FIRST!ed you. Never mind then.)
I will, of course, overnight this to GINTSBRASS so they can attempt to bolster the ability of their unSavior’d offense before the Two – Day Tilt at Coors. Because the Craylike supercomputer at Frankenstudios has determined that 3 is mos’ def < 7.
You just can’t expect a win with that kind of paltry plate proliferation.

Oh wow, that graph
That is what they call, on the Cardinals’ blog, a “T.E.S.S.” Well, almost. I think under their definition, you need to get to 99%, but this was pretty derrrn close.
I will never be able to hate Brad Hawpe after he hit that double against the Diamondbacks in game 162 of the 2007 season, but by golly, this will be as close as it gets (I hope). Well played old friend….

Positive note: The play at the plate by Wigginton and Iannetta was brilliant.
Great throw and Iannetta could not have been positioned any better. He blocked the corner of the plate perfectly and got the tag down while the runner was flailing around trying to find the plate. I was all set to call this the game-saving play in a Rockies walk-off until Street gave up the homer to Hawpe.

Just when the hitting turns around, we start to have a bullpen problem ...
The BP is burned. As in burned UP. We’ve got five different guys with appearances nearing (or in Street’s case reaching) 20. We pitch Street last night with a five frickin run league, and throw him back out tonight and he’s barely touching 88-89. Betancourt was 2-3 mph off as well. Both get burned by secondary off speed pitches. Well, fffffffffff.
And now we enter a stretch of forever without a day off, plus a doubleheader the day after that. We’ve got a sixth starter going Monday who pitched in relief a couple days ago, so we’ll need lots of bullpen innings then. This could get real ugly real soon, unless JH can rescue us with a 7-8 blowout tomorrow. And even then, I dunno. Maybe we should bring Reynolds up for another cup of coffee so he can soak up innings, even if it costs us a game. We can’t keep bringing in B’court and Street in every single close game. We play way too many of them.
OK, rant over. This is the kind of game that’s the last one you lose before a long winning streak. That’s what I’ve got in mind.
by BostonTransplant on May 14, 2011 4:42 PM MDT reply actions
In Fairness...
Street was in last night in a 5-run lead because he was already warming up when it was only a 2-run lead. Another small consequence of letting the other team hang around.
Today’s game was lost in the 7th and 8th with bad pitching and sloppy (literally) defense. Street should have been watching a save-less 9th from the bullpen today and I’m sure there’s no one more irritated that he wasn’t than Jim Tracy.

Oh no doubt
I’m just saying our BP did not look very good tonight (or last night for that matter). We don’t have a bunch of kids out there. Our two main guys are both in their 30’s, and Lindstrom apparently has the kind of arm you have to rest a fair bit. Neither B’court and Street had any confidence they can throw a fastball by anyone.
by BostonTransplant on May 14, 2011 4:53 PM MDT up reply actions
Betancourt without fastball confidence is a scary thing
he hasn’t looked very good since the whole 3 auto-ball night in Arizona. I’m no pitching coach but I have to wonder if he’s concentrating too much on his mechanics after that.

Like I said in the game thread
I don’t put much of this loss on Lindstrom. For the awful situation he was plunged into, he did an okay job. Yes some inherited runners scored, but he put down the inning and handed a two-run lead to a guy who can usually make that stand up.
But I thought Betancourt looked much better last night than he did today. Might have been wise to let Reynolds face Hawpe in the 8th, since he was warm anyway and Raffy had worked last night.

Is that four tacos in your pocket, or are you just happy to see the Rockies scoring 7 or more runs?
Padres are so freakin' irritatingly hot with tbe bats
Everything they hit is in a hole, their dribblers are hits, and they aren’t missing any mistakes.
This may be the only stretch they do this all year long, and we catch them right in the middle of it. Luck of the draw.

Chacin good. Bats waking up.
Not saying I’m not frustrated, but this feels like a fluky weather induced loss, not part of a downward spiral. Get em tomorrow rockies
I will agree about the funky weather induced loss feel
But it could turn into a downward spiral fast with a rough week coming up. Rockies needed this win for padding, if nothing else.
Hope they come out tomorrow like the last three innings one didn’t happen.
That was absolute misery
Just got back from the game — I’m still frozen and still absolutely steamed. I’m not going to read the game thread. People can argue with me but this was a Tracy mismanagement special for the most part. Oh, and if I knew the Rox would pretty much quit once they got a 7-1 lead and it started raining I would be a whole lot warmer right now.
I’ve been to many a crappy rox game but this one has to edge out at least one of the others in my top five. Currently the rox are 1-4 in games I’ve attended this year; at this rate they’ll be 5-20 so I have that to look forward too as well. Grrrr.
On the other hand, I guess if anyone deserved to hit the winning HR for the pads it was Hawpe. Now he can go back to hitting .000 against the rox and .750 against the rest of the division.

Other than the fact that he didn't use Reynolds
I don’t really know what Tracy should have done differently. Chacin hadn’t shown any signs of blowing up – until he did. And Tracy has to try to get some length out of his starters if he’s going to make it through the entire season with what is essentially a five-man bullpen.
Like every MLB manager, I think Tracy tends to get too tightly attached to inning numbers when it comes his relievers. That’s why I would have let Reynolds start the 8th, since he had already warmed up specifically for Hawpe. But Tracy played that the way every manager in baseball would have played it – Betancourt in the 8th, Street in the 9th. And I doubt that he issued a “Let’s not get anyone on base after the 6th” mandate to the position players.
by Northsider1964 on May 14, 2011 5:28 PM MDT up reply actions
Yup, which is why we cannot afford two guys in the pen who can't pitch in high leverage situations
We have too many close games. If we had someone Tracy trusted back there, we could have given B’court the day off and I bet we win.

Or if Chacin puts down the 7th
Even giving up a run or two in the process, you could go with Lindstrom in the 8th and give Raffy the day off. I think that’s really what Tracy was hoping for.
by Northsider1964 on May 14, 2011 5:44 PM MDT up reply actions
Oh I'm sure that's what he was hoping for
But hope isn’t a strategy. It remains a fact that we have two guys back there that no one (fans or manager) trust in pressure situations. And it’s not like either one is our “long man” who can throw 4-5 innings if need be. For a team that, at least currently, doesn’t have any starters pitching into the eighth, like, EVER, and play a lot of close games, it’s not good. And it’s easily fixable given what we have at AAA.

Oh I could not agree with you more
Have been beating this drum for some time now. The counter argument seems to be that Morales or Paulino might put it all together at some point for a different club, and that will mean a missed opportunity at an effective power-armed reliever. A risk that, frankly, I’m more than willing to take.

I don't think it's a lock that Brothers would be better than Morales/Paulino
He still has had obvious control issues, which could skyrocket in the big leagues
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
Of course it's not a lock
Because Borthers has never thrown an MLB pitch. But he has 7 walks vs. 33 Ks at CO Springs. Not fantastic, but If Frankie Mo put up those numbers they would throw a parade through downtown Denver and make him the grand marshal.

my main issue
was the 7th. Chacin started to show signs of tiredness/wildness in the 6th and he was at 88 pitches. No one was warming up in the bullpen at the start of the 7th and voila, the rain starts coming down harder and Chacin’s wheels start to fall off. Someone got up in the bullpen after the first two batters reached which is when they should have had someone available to bring in. Instead Chacin is now at 100 plus pitches and the downward spiral begins.
Paulino was warming up in the bullpen during the bottome of the ninth so he was coming in if the rox tied it up. :)

Well not to beat this into the ground
But Chacin didn’t exactly struggle in the 6th. Bartlett doubled, but otherwise he had two Ks and a groundout and only threw a total of 17 pitches. It wasn’t a totally clean inning, but it wasn’t an inning that threw up warning signs that a 7-1 lead was about to melt.
And again, when he really only has a 5-man bullpen, Tracy has to look for some opportunities to rest them. I’m sure he would love to automatically get a couple of his A-list guys up in the 5th or 6th, but that all has a cumulative toll.

Good point
Rockies started 0-5 last year in comeback wins/blown losses after 7th until the walkoff HR magic against Red Sox at home in June turned it around. The 9-run 9th against STL followed a couple of weeks later. And don’t forget the late August home game where Rox trailed Atlanta 10-1 in the 3rd but came back to win 12-10. Jumping for joy wins will come.

Actually, final note before I sign off, I think what has me peeved the most about this game
Was that I could not imagine the Rockies doing the same thing to ANYBODY else right now. Just the disparity between the Pads in grit and resolve when the down by five runs and the Rockies play this season when they are behind leaves me a bit depressed. Anytime the Rockies were down by more than 3 runs in the past few weeks I’ve felt like the game was over because the Rockies PLAYED like it was over.
That absolutely has to change or this will be an incredibly disappointing year considering the talent the Rox have aboard.
The Rockies can absolutely do this against other teams.
And we have. I would caution against using this game as measure of the Rockies, grit and resolve.

Honestly though
Back-to-back “disappointing” seasons says more about the talent of the team than their “grit.”
We thought they were better, and they may yet prove it. But if they only win 83 games this year, I won’t attribute it to “grit” and “resolve”, I’ll just realize they are probably a .500 team.
We forget how hard it is for a non-large-market team to sustain success. 2007/2009 may turn out to be flashes in an otherwise mediocre-to-OK pan.
Rocktober is not a time of year, it is a religion.
Teams aren't static though
I agree I’m leaning toward feeling in my gut that this is basically a slightly better than 500 team with Ubaldo pitching like he is. If he regains form, we’re more like a 87-88 win team, which puts us just out of contention. If we go get a Brothers or someone from the minors and he lights it up unexpectedly, we’re a little better than that. If we strike gold at the trade deadline and get another middle of the lineup hitter, we’re a little better than that. ALL good teams grow over the course of the year.

Anyone else notice that nearly all the Padres hits last night and tonight were opposite field or up the middle?
Hawpe’s HR being the obvious exception?
Besides being the hallmark of a team that’s seeing the ball well top to bottom and taking good approaches, I wonder …. Do we not pitch inside enough? The Pads aren’t the first team to do this to us.

Our pitchers tend to live on the outside corner
But so do most MLB pitchers, because that’s the only place most umps give them any relief from the modern-day, tea-cup-sized strike zone. That’s why I don’t like the approach where a hitter is focused on pulling the ball until he’s down two strikes, then starts thinking opposite field. Use the whole count and hit it where it’s pitched – whether it’s a 1-2 pitch or a 1-0 pitch.

Well, Smith seems to have gotten this message at least!
Seriously, though, we do need to show inside cheese every once in a while, especially our guys who can throw hard. There’s no way the likes of Nate Schierholz and whatever the guy’s name was today whose brother played football at Boise State should be able to lean out over the plate and square up fastballs on the outside corner. Those were good pitches and they just sat on them.

I agree with you
I would like to see some of our guys come with high heat from time to time when they are ahead in the count, instead of falling in love with the slider. Working strictly at the knees seems like a safer approach, but I don’t think you can work exclusively to that spot in the zone. Street did try to get Hawpe to bite on a high fastball before giving up the HR, but he threw it so high there was no way it would induce a swing.

Pitches up just out of the zone
would be a nice addition. As long as it doesn’t hit Iannetta in the mask as he stands up or drops back down into the zone.

Did they say that?
Earlier they showed highlights of him pitching with Arizona. Maybe they meant something else?
According to MCC. But maybe they were being funny.

Which would be 100 percent correct. But it wouldn’t explain the use of the term “debut.”

Huh. Jorge Posada took himself out of the Yankees line up
not doing very well as DH. Sounds like he told something to Cashman and he’ll see the media after the game. I wonder if he’s going to retire.

Apparently he had an exchange with Girardi, told him he was "insulted" at hitting 9th and "threw a hissy fit".

But Yankees could say he’s in breach of contract and at least try to dock him pay. If he refused again, could try to terminate contract. I doubt it gets that far, though.

It was cold.
It was drizzly.
Chacin should have thrown home.
I got a Dexter jersey (he’s got my number) and a hat for the little one.
It was a decent game, all things considered. Aside from blowing a 7-1 lead, of course. I’ll have to grab the “corporate sponsor” tickets again sometime.

Actually, the easy out was at 3rd base
Chacin should have thrown home.
Had a force play there too, and it wouldn’t have even been close. But, that stuff happens.
Maybin’s base hit in the 8th was an easy double play ball, if the Rockies wouldn’t have had Herrera playing on top of the bag against a guy who has worn out the opposite field the entire series. Just a lot of bounces that didn’t go the Rockies’ way today, combined with some poorly located pitches.

No out, game like that
You throw home. He would have been REALLY close, especially with the force.
Altar Boy in the Church of Santo Ubaldo
"...buffalo chicken is a fine anti-depressant, after all." -UZ
Sure you throw home if you handle the comebacker cleanly
But once it was bobbled, you get the easiest out and keep the double play in order. With one run in and one out, the inning would still be reasonably under control at that point.
And that was Maybin running from 3rd, so I think it was 50/50 whether you get him. At 3rd, the play wasn’t even close.
by Northsider1964 on May 14, 2011 11:24 PM MDT up reply actions
From where I was sitting, it still looked like he had the throw home.
But YMMV.
Altar Boy in the Church of Santo Ubaldo
"...buffalo chicken is a fine anti-depressant, after all." -UZ
He quite possibly had a play at home
So you’re right about that. But given the score and the situation at the time, getting a sure out was the main priority. Seems like players always forget that 3B is an option in that situation. You often see shortstops make circus throws to 2B on balls hit to their right, when they have no shot at a DP and a much easier out at third. Maybe the phrase “any bag” needs a revival.
