IGD: Padres vs Rockies (21 Sep 07)

Fri, Sep 21, 2007Ballhype: hype it up!
by Geoff Young
Game #153
time: 7:05 p.m. PT
tv: 4SD
sp: Jake Peavy (18-6, 2.39) vs Franklin Morales (2-2, 3.81)
pre: Padres.com, B-R.com

Big series this weekend against the Rockies. Yeah, you think?

The Padres have won seven in a row, while Colorado has taken its last five. With one more win in their final 10 games, the Rockies will have their first winning season since 2000. Folks make a fuss about what a surprise the Diamondbacks are this year, but at least you could it see it coming (if you were looking in the right places). What the Rockies have done is just amazing, and I think that Clint Hurdle deserves serious consideration for Manager of the Year (as do Bud Black and Bob Melvin).

Meanwhile, here are some fun splits. I love that the Padres don’t really give away any innings but completely dominate the ninth:

    Tonight I told my wife (she’s Fillipina) that Jake was probably going to win the Cy Young award this year. She said that in Tagalog that means ‘that’s a pitty.’ So, if you say Cy Young as one word that’s the translation. Which I thought was aprapro for the batters that have had to face him.
    She laughed when I told her that Cy Young was a person and what the award ment. Then she appologized.

    Is anyone else perplexed that Bard was asked to sacrifice with NOG up next? Granted Bard isn’t as good as a left-hand batter but that’s almost like giving up two outs cause Giles just sucks right now.

    I don’t like these hear attack innings so late in the season. Let’s please keep me from visiting Kaiser.

    I wouldn’t be opposed to unintentionally walking Helton.

    Well, now that it’s 1-2, maybe not…

    Props to HB - that was some pitching there. Two innings of tough hitters. 40+ pitches. Now we get Jorge “the arsonist” Julio in the bottom of the 11th. Let’s go fellas!!!!
