NLCS Game #4: Franklin Morales vs Micah Owings

Li_l_rox_girl_tiny by Rox Girl on in Rockpile Comment 624 comments

So tonight we have the House of Slytherin in a tight spot, like so:

And in their desperation they come up with ideas like bean Tulo, slide spikes up, and start Jeff Cirillo at second base. Not nice, guys. At any rate, the tables are reversed from this game on September 29 when Arizona was on easy street, and the Rockies needed to win out to stay alive. Arizona decided to follow Jim's advice there, and "kick back, enjoy the last couple of days, and let others stress out for the remainder of the season." Do you think he regrets thinking that now that it's come down to the D-backs stressing out their final hours? Don't let up on these guys, tonight, Frankie. Let's finish this thing.

Go Rockies!

So
I didnt commit suicide last night after the Seahawk embaressment...

...thus I am here to spread my voodoo on the Rockies to send them packing...

...to the World Series.

I must say, the Mariner side of me is very jealous. You've already made it farther than our 01' team.

The Dugout
gets it right:

Good for several laughs before gametime, at Byrnes' and the Snakes' expense. (Always a plus).

Haha
Im still baffled why Byrnes gets so much love as a 'I wont let the team die' type. In order to back up that supposed attitude, you have to account for your team's suckage.

The Rockies are owning them. Making excuses is pathetic. This isnt Super Bowl 40.

Dave Holliday
A bit unrelated, but Matt's uncle is up for a job in Pittsburgh..."A possibility for the scouting director's job is Colorado special assignment scout and Uniontown native Dave Holliday. He is the uncle of Rockies left field Matt Holliday."

So Cirillo

Yeah but
they made it out like Cirillo was doing what he did before we were ripped off in a certain trade.

You'd think a big offensive boost would bat higher than 8th, not that I recommend Cirillo to bat 3rd or anything.

8-8 with a 4.30
aren't fantastic, even for a rookie. His batting is what sets him apart from most NL pitchers.

He's also pitched 15 straight scoreless innings, though...

Morales has the A+ heat tonight
but the curve looks a little less sharp than normal, and no change or sinker thus far.

Perhaps they're trying to keep it simple and cut down on the change-ups, and just have him work two pitches for five innings of success.  If so, I like the strategy.

When Atkins takes the ball the other way and doesn't try to jerk every ball out of the ballpark he is a very good hitter.

Otherwise he just seems to hit long flies to left or left center. :(

I'd say one for sure,
Tulo should get his, but Pujols probably deserves one more than Helton, and since the outfield isn't separated into left, right, center for the gold glove, you'll probably have a few more deserving than Holliday.

61% strikes for Morales tonight
which is roughly league average.

I think the one positive about Morales' command is that when he gets strikes, he gets them in bunches, but ditto for balls.  I think that speaks more to his youth and excitability on the mound more than any complete lack of control.  It also shows that that hestitation in his delivery is a real critical piece of rythmn in his delivery.  When he stays calm and composed, he uses a consistent pause and shows solid command, but when he gets a little hyped, his rhythmn gets off.

I think his command issues are more correctable with maturity, and that's why I still think his long term future is brighter than Jimenez'.

by David OhNo on Oct 15, 2007 9:23 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I really don't know
I still go back and forth on them and right now, I'm thinking I've sold Jimenez short worrying about a fourth pitch when the three he has are enough to be lights out. It's a nice debate to have, though.

by Rox Girl on Oct 15, 2007 9:27 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I still think Jimenez has control issues
that have yet to catch up with him.  So long as he K's guys at a rate better than one per nine, he'll be fine, but when you watch the location calls and the actual pitches, it's clear he still only has a rough idea where the ball is heading.

At least he's doing it with A+ stuff, but this is still a potential problem that could keep him from becoming a number one, and more of an unpredictable number three (which is still pretty good, and way better than what we'd expect after his early months in AAA).

During that game he 3-hit the Braves,
(albeit 3 solo homers) and went 4-5 with 2 homers, one of the 'Pitters was in the crowd and said he was surrounded by Atlanta fans that were cheering for Micah to hit a triple in his 5th AB, just so he could hit for the cycle.

He's a really great kid, too. Really nice.

Music for the Masses?
I prefer "Walking in My Shoes" and "Never Let Me Down Again" from that album.  "Behind the Wheel" is good as well.

I thought
"Never Let Me Down Again" had positive connotations. Now I'm onto "The Things You Said." I'd better get used to it, it will be my soundtrack of the night.

I thought Hurdle was awful in the play-in game
and the Divisional Series, but he's made every right move in the NLCS.

From bringing Taveras back to the pitcher subs/decisions, he's put this team in the best position to succeed, and succeed for him they have.

by David OhNo on Oct 15, 2007 9:59 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think it's more out of superstition
He's found a way that keeps on working for him and the team, and I don't know if he understands why it is.

Yeah, they definitely should have
read the scouting reports that say MATT HOLLIDAY HOMERS EVERY TIME AFTER AN HBP and stuck with the plunk Tulo plan.

The plunk Tulo plan,
while not an excellent plan, was by far the less risky one.
Yes, those guys.

In retrospect, that would have been a great plan.
Unfortunately, I don't think Micah was actually TRYING to hit Holliday.

Shit happens.

Unintentional
It wasn't intentional.

Matt just has a strong tendency to come back after being hit by pitches and crush balls later in the game (usually in his next at-bat).
