PrintColorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants, May 7, 2011 7:05 PM MDT
Clayton Mortensen gets the nod tonight after Esmil Rogers was put on the DL, Mortensen will be the eighth starter used by the Rockies already in 2011. It would be nice if the away team won tonight anyway,
GO ROCKIES!!!

Yeah...
Rabid bats are concerning.

Todd Helton was once bitten by a rattle snake... After 3 days of pain and suffering... The snake died.
at least if our bats were mad

I'm clearly not right in the head
How else could I be on the board after being in AT&T last night? Ugh.
The team needs to score more than 3/4 runs a game with a bit of consistency if we ever want to win another home/away series again. The Rockies have been riding the pen hard all year with slim leads and its finally come back to bite them/us.
Why is Lopez starting? Lefty matchup?

if the tag attempt forces the runner out of the base line
the runner is awarded the next base, I believe.

maybe not awarded. but otherwise he would be out for going out of the line, right?

Not to mention Spilly...
He also needs to get the bat going.

Todd Helton was once bitten by a rattle snake... After 3 days of pain and suffering... The snake died.

I dont like always changing the lineup out versus lefties
I think it breeds guys that only can hit against one type of pitcher
Has it ever helped the Rockies?
I honesty can’t remember having it help us

Spilly has been starting against lefties.
He’s batting .163. I don’t really think that’s better than Smith could do.

by Skullduggerman on May 7, 2011 7:28 PM MDT up reply actions
I remember hearing that his minor league splits weren't that bad
but I can’t confirm that. Anyway, it is unfortunate that he doesn’t ever get to hit lefties. In his ML career he’s got almost 900 PAs against righties and less than 120 against lefties. That’s not even a chance to learn, or improve.

What's really odd is that seemed to be a big focus in spring training.
He also did pretty well against lefties in spring if I remember correctly.
IMO Seth hitting against lefties is more important than getting ABs for a struggling Spilly.

I agree with Fraz
The guy slid under the tag, but didn’t go far out of the baseline. The baseline rule is a myth but I can’t remember the exact wording on the rule.

Todd Helton was once bitten by a rattle snake... After 3 days of pain and suffering... The snake died.

Definitely a reasonable claim
Mortensen in AAA: 91 GS, 4.45 ERA, 2.08 K/BB, 1.1 HR/9
Rogers in AAA: 22 GS, 6.58 ERA, 1.83 K/BB, 1.1 HR/9
True enough
and Rogers actually has more starts in the Majors than at AAA. Mortensen has hardly been a world beater in the minors (far from it), but looking at Rogers’ numbers reminds me how much stock teams put in scouting, because his stats don’t recommend him as a Major League pitcher.

Rogers had better K rates as well
Those are really more important in judging major league potential… plus CS tends to inflate walk rates a bit (since, you know, you definitely don’t want to leave one out over the plate.)
Also, I'd add
Both struggled in their initial half-season callup to AAA, which weighs more heavily on Rogers’ overall line since he spent less time in AAA.
wow...where did that miss?

the good thing about Tracy benching Smith and Herrera is that they’re available to pinch hit here?
I could care less if we lose today...
I’m just glad to see Mortensen pitching well. It bodes well for the future of this team for this season, especially with Ubaldo coming around.

To be fair
The Rockies bullpen has been worth 1.1 WAR so far this season, good for 9th in the Majors. Not great, perhaps, but hardly bad.
2nd in xFIP, too.
WAR for bullpens is going to be heavily influenced by IP, which is directly influenced by the rotation.

This
I’ve never seen meaningful evidence suggesting that a hitting coach has a substantial impact on a team’s offensive performance.
I would imagine that...
A hitting coach is doing his job when the potential of the offense is being realized. So you never notice when a hitting coach is doing anything spectacularly well.
But when a team is hitting well below it’s potential, for a month straight – it certainly should bring up concerns.
I think the AZ announcers jinxed us
I remember when they mentioned how the Rockies had turned some 30-odd double plays in the season and only hit into 15. I swear we have not turned another one since then and hit into like 10.
I remember somebody saying that offense occasionally falters...
But for what – 12 games in a row?
Yeah, well – the Rockies are hitting the same way Carney had the Giants hitting for two years.

Blind supporters are as bad as blind haters
One or two games is flukey. The offense has been consistently awful since that cold cold Cubs series over two weeks ago. To be honest, even during the April winning streak they were nothing to write home about other than Tulo during that Citi field series.
Our pitching is only giving up 3-4 runs a game. That’s still pretty damned good. It’s our offense that constantly leaves men on base… after struggling to get anyone on base in the first place.
I don’t know if you blame a hitting coach or the hitters or what, but the team has been nearly unwatchable at bat as of late. You can’t keep blaming bad luck and good opposing pitching every single game. Something needs to change.
Doesn't that sound a lot like the 2009 Gints...
With batting coach Carney Langsford…
Coincidence???

Exactly.
You can’t fire the line-up.
But you can fire the hitting coach.
Might as well, it certainly sends a message and allows things to get mixed up. It can’t make anything worse.
If you think about it – our offense early on was okay simply because Tulo was super hot. Take out Tulo for the first 10 games, and offense is bad as it was then as it is now.

but Todd exists in his own universe of hitting strategy

Todd Helton came through.
He’s probably the only guy smart enough to ignore Lansford.
You do realize that Lansford has been instrumental in Helton's resurgence this year?

the wRC+ of 83 in 2010 begs to differ.
He had gone too far astray from the horses that brought him to the bigs in the first place (walks and power) and getting back to that has helped more than anything.
I'm confused about what bad advice Lansford is giving?
I mean, I get that the team isn’t hitting that great, but what should he be doing differently?
And are you in the dugout hearing what bad advice Lansford is giving
or are you just pulling crap out of your ass.
It's Jim Tracy's Fault.
And what if Todd would rather just be a player for this year?
What is your plan B?

Why did Tulo keep running?
He wasn’t that far from third, and could at least have stayed in the rundown to get Lopez to 2nd.

How does that make any sense with nobody out?
Seriously, how? It is as much as saying that you don’t believe your next two hitters can even produce a sac fly….

But if Tulo isn't going on contact
we still. have a runner at third with one out.
I haven’t understood what is really to be gained by that play any of the 4 times this week it has cost us a baserunner at third with less than 2 outs. If you really think it’s that unlikely that your lineup can bring a guy in from third with 1 out, you probably wrote out the wrong lineup card.

I think we've reached a point where Smith deserves to start even against lefties.

B) Spilly is useless, in all kind of ways.
