Todd Helton and Carlos Gonzalez bookend big hits to give Rockies walk-off win

in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintThe Rockies put up a string of zeroes in the middle innings Wednesday night, but came through with enough runs at either end of the game to beat the Braves 3-2. Todd Helton started the game with a two run blast in the bottom of the first off Tim Hudson, and then the Rockies bats went silent for seven innings before Carlos Gonzalez finished things with an RBI single scoring Dexter Fowler in the bottom of the ninth.
Juan Nicasio continued his home dominance and pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one run on five hits and a walk, with four strikeouts. He now has a 1.58 ERA in six starts (40 IP) at Coors Field in 2011. Nicasio got some help in a sixth inning that saw back to back to back great plays from infielders Ian Stewart, Mark Ellis and Troy Tulowitzki to get out of a runners on second and third, no out jam. The bullpen, Rex Brothers and Matt Lindstrom allowed a tying run to score in the eighth
Gonzalez, Helton and Fowler were the only Rockies to get on base safely multiple times, Gonzalez and Fowler with two hits apiece (plus an HBP for Fowler) and Helton with the home run and an HBP himself.

Walking Wiggington was an atrocious move. Pulling Brothers was possibly defensible but also questionable.
i keep dancing on my own.
Nothing wrong with pulling Brothers.

The only bad thing about throwing Lindstrom in there
Is that between his leg kick and The Fonz behind the plate, you were conceding 2B to Schafer. Anybody can give up a single, but that forfeited stolen base was a little hard to swallow.
by Northsider1964 on Jul 20, 2011 10:26 PM MDT up reply actions
Given is 98 mph stuff, not sure why he was throwing sliders to Uggla.
But you can’t just say you’re only going to use Lindstrom in bases empty situations. And, if that pitch had been a fastball and not a slider, it’s possible (though unlikely) that Schafer could have been thrown out.

That's the same thing I thought too.
Uggla hit a HR on a hard fastball last night though.

True, but I feel like you gotta go to your strength in that situation I suppose
Not a criminally bad call, actually not that bad because Uggla’s probably expecting FB there. But then yeah, that means being willing to give up 2B.

Massive failure on the Braves part in the 9th
First, Prado makes an absolutely atrocious play on a ground ball from Dex that should have sent to game to extras. Talk about letting the ball play you.
But that’s going to be forgotten because of what happened next. With Wiggy coming up, Fredi Gonzalez makes what I would nominate for worst managerial decsion of the season so far by choosing to walk him to get to Carlos Gonzalez. I don’t care what the lefty/righty numbers say – You have to be nuts to walk a guy who’s hitting .169 with RISP to get to a guy who won the batting title last season.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You so much Fredi Gonzalez and and Martn Prado for giftwrapping this game. Maybe you just gave the Rockies some confidence in these spots going forward.
Huge win for the Rockies, even if they got it mostly because the Braves failed.
I'm pretty disgusted right now!

It ain't the first time.
and I’m not beating up on Fredi…and I know in game managing is only one component. But he’s made a LOT of seriously wtf calls this season. The Braves are talented enough for it not to have derailed them.

CarGo only needed two strikes though.
The third would have been the slider low and away for strike three.

Wiggy is as close to an automatic out as you can get though
If I was an opposing manager and could hand pick a guy on the Rockies bench who’s not a pitcher that I’d like to face in that spot. It’s Wigginton. Fredi blew this big time.

Agreed.
I can see why he’d go for CarGo left on left, though. If he didn’t know anything about Wiggy. Which apparently he didn’t.

He has moxie that’s rare in any pitcher, never mind a rookie. He looks like he wants to destroy the hitter out there and isn’t afraid to throw anything at any time. It’s hurt him in spots this year but it’s gonna be a big tool over the long haul.

Well, he really does still need to better master his offspeed stuff before he can step towards greatness
But hell, he’s got 10 starts in the majors, I’m not even sweating that now, even if it takes 12-18 months to get there. Because he’s not being asked to be an ace.
What he has is that “it” factor on the mound, and you can’t teach it and you can’t coach it. At this point, I’d consider him untouchable in a trade, just because of what he could be and is showing.
He’s what people could only wish Rogers to be. Now if Rogers could get there, that would be bloody amazing. We’d be set.

At worst, those four would be a #1, a #2, and two #3’s. But more likely Chacin and JDLR can both be #2’s

His numbers are actually better than Ubaldo's..
and Jimenez was actually worse the further he pitched in 07:
July 3.50 ERA
August 4.32
Sept/Oct 4.70
Nicasio is getting better
June 6.41 ERA
July 2.60
I'm tellin' ya, both Chacin and Nicasio were better pitchers at that stage
Which can be scary.
Needless to say, Ubaldo’s still got a better arm.

Yeah, it looks cool.
I gotta read the book before though, I guess.

Wait, what's his real name? We should make a joke out of that.
Rockies 2nd walkoff win of the season...
Last game I attended was their first walkoff against the White Sox? Conicidence? I think not.
Next game is the 20th against the Dodgers. Lets have another walkoff then, shall we? :)
I'm all for this.
Bring it on.
