Game #59 Overflow Thread

SAN DIEGO, CA - JUNE 6: Clayton Mortensen #59 of the Colorado Rockies pitches during the first inning of a baseball game against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on June 6, 2011 in San Diego, California.  (Photo by Denis Poroy/Getty Images)

 

All things considered, Clayton Mortensen was marvelous. Let's hope he doesn't get Bum'd (or, as we're more familiar with, Hammel'd).

RUNS OR GET OUT.

6' even

I guess that’s not terribly short, but he throws 97, so I thought he’d have a bit more on him I guess.

I could see using Belisle instead. But at the same time, what if we play a bunch of close games coming up, which seems likely? Can’t let him sit forever before getting him in there. And it is the bottom of the order.

2 questions

Wasn’t Mortensen supposed to be out of the rotation w/ Cook coming up? He pitched great today and all, but I am confused as to our rotation at this point. Also, I thought Tracy was going to use Brothers in a “soft” situation? This is definitely not that. I love this kid though, and he has dominant stuff.

so it is still undecided between him and Nicasio?

To point #1

Mortonsen probably becomes the long guy. Likely not good news for Reynolds. If Nicasio falters, Morty moves back into the rotation

As I see Nelson play so far

it just makes me wonder what they did not see in him. I understand he will have his tough times, but he is a 1st round pick, and was doing well, and when he was called up last year he did pretty well, but he never got a legit shot. Its a little confusing to me, and when he again shows well, it is just all the more head scratching.

I definitely understood

thats why it took him so long to get where he was last year or was it the year before? However, he has looked plenty good enough for the better part of 2 seasons, but hasn’t been given a real shot before guys like EYJ and Herrera. I just think that is a bit perplexing.

it's been in my gut since the 6th inning or so.

Just checking in...

How much longer can we manage these low run support games?

Not including this game the Rockies offense has only managed 58 runs over the last 16 games (3.6/game), unless you take out the 12-run and 15-run outbursts in Arizona and St.Louis, then its 31 runs over 14 games (2.2/game)

It's unrealistic to expect him to do it himself,

but maybe in some sort of domino-effect way. It’s definitely worth a shot, in my opinion. But really, it’s up to Tulo and CarGo if the offense is going to go anywhere significant.

It would also help to start Seth Smith everyday. He is far superior to alternatives such as Spilly, EY2, and Wiggy right now.

but they wont be able to do it themselves, they will need someone to consistently get on base at either the #1 or #2 spots and its looking like nobody is stepping up yet recently (except for maybe EY2…. sort of). Does it make sense to try out Helton or Iannetta hitting #2?… they’re the only two that can get on base somewhat consistently so far.

Because I love the game of baseball.

I love watching the Rockies with my son and watching his passion for the game grow to a lifelong love affair with a great sport. Sorry if my frustration ruins your night but it’s basically the equivalent of booing them at a game, which is a perfectly acceptable behavior if the team’s performance merits such a response. I enjoy the interaction of the fan community on this site, and am blown away by the effort put in by the folks who maintain it – which is the primary reason i’m here.

Except that your actions are more akin to of preemptive booing of the team at a game. And that serves no positive purpose at all for anyone.
