Rockies bats roll over Livan Hernandez, much ground gets covered.

Carlos Gonzalez's return has been a boon to the Colorado Rockies lineup, and Livan Hernandez proved to be a salve for what's been ailing the Colorado offense, as the Rockies matched their season high for runs scored and rapped out 19 hits in beating the Nationals 15-7 on Saturday night. Gonzalez, batting third, had two hits and scored two runs, and showed once again that his presence tends to stabilize the rest of the offense to be able to do good things. 

Chris Iannetta and Ty Wigginton each hit home runs. Iannetta had four hits in all and scored three times while Troy Tulowitzki also had three hits, including two doubles and drove in three of the Rockies runs. Added to Friday night's three hits, Iannetta now has seven in his last nine at bats and is on a six game hitting streak that's seen his batting average rise from .220 to .245. He's been hitting .478 during the streak. 

Jhoulys Chacin continued his inconsistent, walk prone ways of late, and while he did walk the tightrope somewhat well okay tonight, allowing just three runs on five hits and five walks in five innings of work, he shows that there's still some adjustment and maturation that needs to take place before he can lead the Rockies rotation. Greg Reynolds had a rough inning of relief following Chacin, allowing the Nationals other four runs, but Matt Belisle, Rafael Betancourt and Rex Brothers stopped the bleeding after that to allow the Rockies to run away with the game.

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO DROP UBALDO AND NICASIO FROM MY FANTASY LEAGUE? I'VE HAD UBALDO SINCE 2008.
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.

Looooong story short

Mom and Dad were having marital problems. Mom got she and I tickets to see the Nuggets. Because Mom and Dad were so distracted with their problems they sort of neglected the car repairs. Halfway over to the stadium, the brakes gave out and my Mom had to drive the car into a small boulder in the parking lot of McDonalds. Never got to the game and big ass family fight.

That sucks, you didn't even get to wreck the car into the boulder?

My 16th birthday was on a Saturday, so I had to wait until the weekday to get my license. But Monday was a national holliday, so it wasn’t until Tuesday I could drive. Then it snowed 6 inches and almost couldn’t take the test. I couldn’t see the lines at all. Fortunately I passed missing the most points a person can miss and still pass the test.

I had to wait a bit longer to get my license

because well, the car was old and breaking down. My mom refused to let me drive that car. On the plus side, this prompted my Mom to get my Dad to buy a new car. So we ended up getting a stick shift that my Mom made me learn to drive before she’d let me get my license. I’m grateful that she did that, made me a better driver.

I said this yesterday, I'll say it again. Rockies need to worry about their seasonal needs.

Hence, make more deadline trades. Thats how the big market teams do it. And they ALWAYS make the playoffs every year…They don’t worry SO MUCH about the longterm, but the short term. And the Rockies are one of the richer teams out there.

also it only makes sense to make a big deadline move if it can help you win that season, unless you’re getting a standout young player ala pence, bourn, etc

I think almost all of my posts have been in game threads.

Or game wraps.

Rockpiles intimidate me because I’m at work while most of the conversation goes on and I feel like everything’s mostly been hashed out by the time I get there.

Also because my actual baseball knowledge is not that great, and unsupported opinions are never popular round these parts (which is why I love it).

Honestly

now that I look at the schedule, there is also a four-game homestand against the Giants before that three-game series, which could potentially make that last trip more meaningful than we’ve been anticipating…

Im off to bed...Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the morning. SEE YALL TOMORROW!

GO ROCKIES!

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO DROP UBALDO AND NICASIO FROM MY FANTASY LEAGUE? I'VE HAD UBALDO SINCE 2008.
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.

Final Stretch of the 2011 Season

4 Games vs. Giants
3 Games vs. Padres
4 Games @ Astros
3 Games @ Giants

Those four series could be huge if the Rockies can make a comeback and get within striking distance. The Padres and Astros could be a potential 7-game winning streak if playing up to speed with possibly both White and Pomeranz in the rotation by then. I can smell the playoffs again!
