2011 Rockies Game #96: Ubaldo Jimenez vs. Brandon Beachy

Atlanta Braves at Colorado Rockies, Jul 19, 2011 6:40 PM MDT


Photo

The last time Ubaldo Jimenez took the hill, there were seventeen scouts in attendance, days after news leaked that Dan O'Dowd would listen to offers on the ace.  Jimenez handled the event just fine, tossing his fourth quality start in his last five outings and earning the win.  Since then, the rumors have accelerated to a power that would make a T4 tornado blush.  It will be interesting to see how Ubaldo Jimenez, who has been vocally miffed at the rumors, will respond on the mound against the Atlanta Braves, one of only three teams to register a home run off him in his last 16 starts.

Might this be the Ubaldo's last game wearing the sleeveless black Colorado uniform he loves so much?  Unlikely.  Will this be the final day Dan O'Dowd considers his club as non-sellers?  Potentially, as a loss guarantees no more than a .500 homestand.

Brandon Beachy will be facing the Rockies for the first time.  He is a guy that pounds the strike zone, striking out over 10 per 9 and walking just 2 per nine.  The Rockies need to the requisite patience of learning a new arm's delivery with the aggression necessary when facing a strike thrower.

If Ubaldo throws 4.2+ IP with 1 ER or less or 6.2+ IP with 2 ER or less tonight, his ERA will be under 4.00, putting him on track for his fourth consecutive season with an ERA under 4.00.  There are only three other such seasons by a qualifying Rockies' pitcher in franchise history.

This may have been covered above, or in the Rockpile (I’ve been real busy today & haven’t read PR), but the Giants just traded two AA pitchers to the Astros for
Jeff Keppinger, who’s having a helluva year. Another savvy, veteran “gamer”
who will replace Freddy Sanchez at 2B for them.

He's not quite as good defensively as Ellis

but probably 50 points better batting-avg. over the course of a season.

Next to Pence, he’s been the Astros best player the last 2 years.

To replace him, the Astros are brining up the mighty midget (5-6) Jose Altuve,
who has torn up High A and AA ball this year. A team can do that when they’re
on a pace to lose 110 games.

Yeah.

And both the arms they gave up aren’t very good.

I like the trade from the Giants perspective.

Does he replace Sanchez though? I thought he’d be more of a UT player.

He can play 3B, but not that well.

He’s better at 2B. Used to play SS and could in a pinch, but he lacks the range for that.

He’s hitting > .300 with some power. If I was Bruce Bochy (ugh), I’d have him starting most games, with the Giants’ offense.

2011 Rockies -- what the hell?

by maris61 on Jul 19, 2011 8:31 PM MDT up reply actions  

He very well could be the starter there.

Tejada, Burriss, Fontenot are the other options, but yeah Keppinger will probably start at 2B.

Take a look at his Houston numbers, not his Cincy ones

Cincy used him part-time, Houston fulltime starting last year.
He’s had 2 solid seasons in a row.

by maris61 on Jul 19, 2011 8:32 PM MDT up reply actions  

Not on the road he hasn't

He just plays better at Minute Maid field than anywhere else. Of course going to the Giants will probably help his numbers go up because even though logic says it wouldn’t, logic doesn’t apply to them.
