Rockies 12, Brewers 3: Scoring 4 Runs is Important, But Scoring 12 Runs is Better

The Rockies played an effective game today, starting at a solid pitching performance from Ubaldo Jimenez and ending with a productive offense taking charge against opposing starter Yovani Gallardo. Ugly outfield defense and baserunning didn't harm the team, while similar mistakes for the Brewers caused further difficulty towards their efforts. The Rockies defeat a very good but Coors-phobic Milwaukee Brewers for their 44th in of the 2011 season.
The early innings were a pendulum of offense. After a healthy Ryan Braun and current NL hero Prince Fielder knocked back to back doubles to get the Brewers on the board, leadoff hitter Ryan Spilborghs hit a solo shot in the bottom of the inning. In the second, Gallardo doubled in Yuniesky Betancourt to retake the lead, but Jimenez wasn't about to be showed up, singling in Ty Wigginton for a RBI of his own in the bottom frame.
From there on, it was all Rockies. They took Gallardo to town in the fourth, putting up four runs on five hits in the inning. Another run was scored in the sixth when Mark Ellis doubled in Spilborghs off of Marco Estrada, one of three RBI for Ellis in the game which was second only to Spilborghs' four. In the seventh, the Rockies loaded the bases with nobody out against reliever Zach Braddock. Pinch hitter Cole Garner walked to score Wigginton from third. A double from Spilborghs (his fourth hit of the game) and a groundout from Ellis off of Kameron Loe notched another three runs on the board before the inning ended. Yet another run crossed against former Rockie LaTroy Hawkins, when Garner (having taken over in left field) bounced a ball to Betancourt with the bases loaded, high and slowly enough to the point no play was possible.
In addition to Spilborghs' four hit outing, Wigginton and Ian Stewart had three hits each, with Ellis, Troy Tulowitzki and Chris Iannetta had multiple hits. Every player in the starting lineup got at least one hit. The team managed 20 overall.
Jimenez got his fifth win of the year, with two earned runs allowed on six hits and two walks over six innings pitched. He struck out four batters. Matt Belisle and Rex Brothers pitched clean innings of relief. Eric Stults allowed a leadoff home run to Corey Hart in the ninth, but finished off the next three batters to secure the win.
The Rockies play Milwaukee again tomorrow in the second game of this four game series, same time (6:40 Mountain), same place (Offenseville). Juan Nicasio takes on Chris Narveson.

Ian really looked comfortable in there tonight.
I’m not yet holding my breath, but maybe…just maybe…he’s ready to grab the job by the horns and mix his metaphors with his starting spot.
Really, if we’ve got this Ian Stewart for the rest of 2011, it’s like DOD just pulled off a great trade deadline deal and gave up nothing at all.

Gaawwww why is Romo having such a good year?
I’m honestly not seeing it.
He throws a little frisbee slider and a straight fastball.
He’s not that good.

Well Romo does get a bit of movement on his fastball
Because of his sidearm motion.
But Romo’s slider isn’t very impressing IMO.

Obviously a nice game
Today in the rockpile I commented:
Personally I’d like to see them play for the 5-run rally, consisting of singles and doubles with the occasional long-ball. The philosophy of "just get on base and give the next guy the bat" would work well with this team.
This game they did exactly that. Singles and doubles and let the next guy do his job. Beautiful. (Spilly of course started off the game with a solo homer but that’s the best possible outcome of the first at-bat of a game.)
Another thing I really liked about tonight was that they kept the pedal down even once the score was clearly a blowout. The 8th inning had some great hits and great approaches at the plate. This is something I haven’t seen in previous blowouts this year. Hopefully they can keep the pressure on through the rest of the series. Great win, but there’s no time to ease up.

They hit a ton of balls the other way
or up the middle. That seemed like the key to me. Plus, with the Brewers defense, any ball you put in play is a really good thing.
With a lot of teams, any hard-hit ball is a good thing
even pop-ups might fall for the Brewers though. That brings up another point though. Twice against the Yankees we had 5-out innings due to defensive misplays and couldn’t score anyhow. Tonight they took advantage of the bad defense.

Is the Rockies were cheating with the humidor. Never mind the walks, lucky hits, bad defense…nope, a 23-22 home team has to be cheating.

They did OK tonight, but especially at Coors this outfield sure makes me nervous

Yeah but I don't trust them to keep doing that.
I still want a CarGo, Dex, Seth OF. Wiggy and Spilly on bench where they should be.

the outfield was really really wet tonight
Both teams had trouble, and had it throughout the night.

Also, the last thing you wanted was Cargo slipping and sliding tonight.

They said they expected him to play Saturday.

I'm ok with this. Just setting things up for tomorrow on my team that's all.
Even though he is batting .338 against Narveson. DAMN!
How do you get your kids to behave? Threaten not to take them to a Rockies game. They straighten up REAL QUICK.
Self taught and falling in love with this game is very easy to do, you can never hate it, and that is something that not one person can take away from anybody. The love of baseball and OUR COLORADO ROCKIES.

he was slugging .875 against Gallardo. Could've been a big note from him also

Narveson is a lefty though, right?
Looks like Seth will get a shot against a LHP, cool.

But I’d LOVE for him to be a Rockie.

trade for beltran and james shields
and the division is ours
the only organization of humans responsible for more evil in the universe than the philadelphia phillies is the boston red sox
if it's not tracy's fault, it's not not tracy's fault, either
the farm
but shields’ contract is pretty good, and beltran would kill for half a season

shields would give up a few more dingers, but the increase in strikeouts, his increasing ground ball rate would play well enough at coors, i reckon
throws a ton of cutters and changeups, so he could probably survive the lack of curveball effectiveness coors brings about

That picture is beautiful,
and one of many reasons everyone should make it to Coors if they haven’t already.
Also, great title, WolfMarauder.

It should be noted that we would have still won this game had we scored only four runs.

Zach Galifanakis already has a great comedy career, please stop trying to emulate him.
A Ty WIggington Home Run is a Rockies Death Sentence.
