Rockies 6, Nationals 3: Pitching AND Offense? What's the catch...?

It took 13 batters before the Rockies got a hit off Ross Detwiler, but the slow progress of the offense was covered by solid pitching from starter Esmil Rogers and the bullpen sans one, allowing the Rockies a win by the time nine innings were through.
Things started of shakily as Rogers allowed Michael Morse to single in Rick Ankiel. This would be the only run production from the Nationals in the game, as Rogers found his form. He did deal with traffic, allowing seven hits and walking two over his five and two thirds innings pitched, but other than a sharp double off the bat of Ryan Zimmerman in the fourth inning (powerful enough to snap an out-of-town scoreboard tile), the hits were light.
After Troy Tulowitzki broke up the no-hitter in the bottom of the fourth inning, Todd Helton (who had walked earlier in the inning) came around to scored on a Ty Wigginton single. Chris Nelson followed with another base hit, but Tulowitzki was thrown out trying to score on the play.
The Rockies would score one more run in each of the next two innings. In the fifth, Chris Iannetta hit his 13th double of the year, scoring off the bat of Eric Young Jr. In the sixth, Tulowitzki homered off of Washington reliever Collin Balester to increase the lead to two. The offense did most of its damage in the eighth against former Rockies draftee Ryan Mattheus. After loading the bases with two walks (one intentional to Wigginton) and a Tulowitzki double, Nelson singled in Helton for the Rockies fourth run, Iannetta was hit by a pitch, scoring Tulowitzki for the fifth and Eric Young Jr. walked to score Wigginton for run #6.
Matt Reynolds, Matt Lindstrom and Rafael Betancourt were all effective in relief before the lead was blown open. Despite the five run lead, an already warmed up Huston Street threw the ninth. Brian Bixler and Ankiel came around to score on a Zimmerman double, but the lead was padded enough to protect beyond that. Rogers (5-1) took the win.
Three more games in the series. Juan Nicasio will take on Jordan Zimmermann tomorrow, same time.

Nuclear War and Kissing
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.
Close?

Esmil has
a pretty live arm. When he has command he is tough. He should get about 9-10 more starts before the end of the season. It would be nice to get a read on him. I think he could be an effective big league starter – most folks seem to think he is better suited for the pen.
Pretty sure we're going to get a long look
at both him and Nelson the rest of the year.

Why?
He can pitch and he has had a couple of dominating starts this year. He has several pitches. Not sure why one would say Nicasio is a sure fire starter going forward when he is a two pitch pitcher and Esmil is a bullpen arm.

It's possible
but possible doesn’t mean guaranteed. That’s why the anti-trade people are upset.
and have you ever seen him pitch
Or are you basing this opinion on some advanced stats and spreadsheets? I am not knocking Pomeranz but reliance on these stats without actually seeing a player play is why Rox Girl (who is usually spot on) was praisng the upside and had big expectations for Jose Lopez this year.
There needs to be some balance between these ridiculous advanced stats and the eye test. Unfortunately those going on and on about Pomeranz have nothing to base their expectations on but stats and Keith Law.
Well, and the fact that the Indians made him the #5 overall pick last year
and the opinions of scouts that have watched him, and his college record, and his minor league performance. Stuff like that…
But yeah, really just stats and Keith Law…

But I feel that way about 3/5 of the rotation right now.
Rogers is a project, and probably always will be. But under the circumstances of this season, he’s worth an August-September look. And if he makes the most of it, good on him. It’s better than watching Hammel throw like he fell out of bed a 1/2 hour before game time, or another stop on the Cookie Farewell Tour.

The catch is that our closer blew the save :-)
… except that somehow we scored a bunch of runs in the bottom of the 8th (when was the last time THAT happened?) so it wasn’t a save situation and it didn’t cost the game.
OTOH, Betancourt continues to look good. There were quite a few positives this game.

Yes, exactly.
RafBet hasn’t proved that he can sustain this kind of play for a full season.
That’s why I’d move him. And I could see him being moved this year, good call.

He might have held up better this year
If we hadn’t had such a patchwork rotation that resulted in him working like a mule early in the year. But regardless, as much as I love the guy I would move him if we can get good value.

He really only had one rough patch
I did a whole analysis on it for a rockpile awhile back and was surprised at the results.
But you’re right that there’s a lot of potential for a late inning guy who’s not giving up runs. A decent return in a trade for him with both Brothers and Lindstrom around to pick up the slack, or him being with the team next year are both good options. The team’s not in a position where there’s pressure to move him, which is a good position to be in.

made it green for PIP. Way to go. Im getting close
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.
We enjoy them...

Did the Sky Sox really start the first game of a double header at 7 pm?
Granted they only played 7 innings (and still got crushed 19-0), but they’re now just in the 3rd inning of game two, and it’s almost midnight. Crazy stuff.

Speaking of which...
Cargo played the full 7 inning first game, and went 1-4. Only played an inning in the second game and went 1-1 with a run scored. I wonder if he’ll still be back by Saturday after playing tomorrow?

Could be
We tried to go to the game last night. It was pouring at 6:30 but looked like it would clear up any minute. Instead, it just kept raining lightly and the tarp stayed put. At 8:20 they finally admitted defeat and called the game. Immediately it stopped raining :-/
The weather down there didn’t look much better today.

And seriously, how the f*ck is Rogers at 5-1 for the season.
Pitching wins are terrible.

He's pitched well in several starts
I agree pitching wins are terrible.
Agreed
But to be fair, a lot of Esmil’s ERA damage was done in his couple of relief outings, and he didn’t earn the loss for those(kind of like the majority of Street’s ERA damage has come in non-save situations, which is partly why he has managed a respectable save conversion rate in spite of it).
Rogers gave up 7 ER in 2 IP of relief(not counting the SD game, which should have been a start anyway). In his starts, his ERA is a little better. Still not great, but in three of those games in which he won, he only gave up 1 ER. The two others he gave up just 3 ER, and his one loss is the one that completely bombed his ERA when he gave up 8 ER in 3 IP. So basically, in the five games he has won, his ERA is 3.10.
Overall, he’s been fairly decent as a starter, and has generally done just enough to give the team a chance to win. For a fringe fifth starter, I’ll take it.
Alanna Rizzo is my dream girl.
