PrintColorado Rockies at Houston Astros, Sep 22, 2011 6:05 PM MDT
OVERFLOWS WILL GO HERE. Who am I kidding, there hasn't been need for an overflow in ages.
This is the final Thursday game of the season, and thus, my final game thread of the year. The Rockies can't get back to .500 this year, but I can with a win, which would bring my win/loss record of game threads to 8-8 on the year.
Apparently the game has no temperature. We're playing in a vacuum, people.

If White throws 7.1 innings, he will lose rookie status. Similarly, if Sosa throws 6.1 innings, HE loses rookie status.

No, they split calculus into two parts just like in high school.
Calc AB = Calc I
Calc BC = Calc II
Then you get into vectors, differential equations, linear algebra.

I haven't been following closely the last two weeks
is there a reason Kouzmanoff and Wigginton are playing instead of Nelson? Is he hurt or has management already decided he isn’t a “piece of the puzzle.”
Also, I don’t think I emphasized it enough…WHY THE F*** are Kouz and Wiggy getting ABs at this point?

Has Pacheco played 2nd base before.(other than college) ?
In all things, it is better to hope than despair.
Pacheco last played second base in 2007 with the Dust Devils and Ghosts.
He’s logged 22 games at second in his pro career (though I don’t know if those were all full games at the position)

Rangers and Angels would have to play each other first to break the tie in the West
Winner clinches the divsion – Loser gets thrown into the Wild Card mess. From there tiebreakers (which can’t be determined yet) would dictate which two of the three teams would play an elminination game (esentially the two losers of the tiebreaker). The Winner of that game would advance to another one game playoff in which they would host the third team in the tiebreaker which would determine the winner of the Wild Card.

Last time Alex White started against the Astros
is actually in my top 6 games of the season. It was the one where the Astros had a relief pitcher play right field for one batter so he could pitch to two lefties. And a bunch of other cool stuff happened. And so I have what is probably an excessive amount of hope for this game.
Ooh, I remember that game.
My mom was there and called me as she was walking to the car. They hadn’t realized at the time what the Astros had done with the relief pitcher switcharoo, but she remembered being confused.
I was confused too
pretty smart move, unless the ball got hit over in his direction

Parker Frazier. He’s in Modesto. He’s not striking out seven yankees in three innings in yankee stadium.
Pacheco was our ninth rounder that year though.

For some reason I know the Placebo version better.

He's got to fix that problem

And it’s not just the bases surrendered … more imporant is pitcher confidence he
can block sliders & curves in the dirt.

I know it has been hashed and rehashed
But Rosario is nowhere near ready to replace Iannetta. Chris is 4th in the NL among catchers in WAR, and he’s got between 60 and 120 fewer PAs than all three of the guys in front of him. No need to replace one of the few guys on your team who’s actually one of the best at his position in the league.

My point is
that irrational hatred for some players is interfering with objective views of the game.
Look at the replay on that play. Wigginton actually timed his jump (and he did jump, surprisingly high for him) and made a nice play to stop a high throw from going to the wall.
And what we get here is “Helton would’ve had that.” No, he wouldn’t. He would barely have gotten off the ground with his back & the runner would’ve made second base.
Irrationally hating player to the point that it interferes with objective analysis is just as bad as falling in love with a player to the extent that his faults are overlooked. Too much of both around here.

Oh.
I don’t know if you realize this, but I actually don’t hate Ty Wigginton, although I gave up defending him on the internet because people around here are really firmly anti-Ty Wigginton.
I just find it amusing to say things like “Helton would have had that” on an obviously impossible throw that no first baseman could possibly have made an out on. Humor doesn’t always translate well in writing, especially sarcasm.

OK that wasn't much of a look at Escalona
But I’m still going to beat the drum again for him to get a spot start.
Big guy with an easy, simple delivery.
Uses both sides of the plate.
Makes pitches that are off the plate, but entice a swing.
Has a pulse.
Walks upright without his knuckles dragging the ground.
All of these factors lead me to believe he might have a better outing than several we’ve endured recently.
You forgot 2 arms and a couple of lungs.

Yeah, I know
Does that mean someone goes to jail if he starts a game? Anthony Bass is a reliever too, but he’s owned the Rockies twice this year in spot starts, so now the Padres have at least given him a test drive as a starter.
I just think this team has reached the “leave no stone unturned” point when it comes to starting pitching, so what would it hurt?

Bass was almost exclusively a starter in the minors
Escalona has never started a game since joining professional baseball.
