What Happens to Dirrrrrty in Colorado Tomorrow?

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on May 16, 2011

I know Timmy is going tonight but I am haunted by what could happen tomorrow. Dirrrrty Sanchez is pitching in Colorado. He’s actually had some moderate levels of success there— 4-2 in 7 starts. His ERA is 4.91 (not awful for that place) and he’s held opponents to a .220 batting average. But that was back when he still knew how to throw strikes. I honestly think that past history of success or failure applies less to Dirrrrty than to any pitcher in the history of major league baseball. Anything could happen tomorrow night.

I have Dirrrrty in two teams (not in the Flap, that draft is automatic so it’s luck who goes where). In my NFBC league I have to set my line up on Mon morning and then you can’t change it till the following Mon (which sucks if someone in your starting LU gets injured early in the week). I’ve agonized over whether to start him this week (I’m wondering if he feels the same) but he’s a 2 start pitcher this week and he gets Oakland at home on Sunday. Ugh. I’m inclined to start him and pray to God for strikes…..

Ramirez instead of Panda ? Terrible.
- DJLoo said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:00 pm
  
  The main idea is to get the dead weight off our team. The Cubs should feel the same way. Ramirez doesn’t replace Sandoval. He would just spell him once in a while, and would be a threat off the bench. Pablo could also play first and even catch here and there. Is that your only problem with this fantasy?
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:00 pm

When Panda comes back the Giants trade Ramirez for Cole Hamels . . .

Christ. Someone get Belt on the phone . . . 2 DPs?
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:17 pm

Giftie time . . .
snarkk said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:19 pm

I wonder were the Giants stand in MLB on getting runners in from 3rd with less than two outs (and not by a wild pitch)? Have to check that. Good double by Tejada, given that he should never have swung at that POS pitch…
DJLoo said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:21 pm

How about tonight for Tim’s first big league homer?
TedSpe said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:27 pm

What are the most innings Lincecum has gone without a strikeout?
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:31 pm

I’ll just wait for the announcment from Sabes, Loo. Lookin’ good.
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:44 pm

Problem, for a change, is that the Cub deadweight is better than ours.
zumarust said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:47 pm

Oh man. The Dennis/Chuck/Snarkk trio is something else. It kinda goes: we suck, we suck, we suck- yay we won!
- Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:13 pm
  
  Christ, Zumie. I can’t bring up the fact that Sanchez isn’t exactly pitching very well? It’s all lollipops and gumdrops?
  
  Huff’s hot streak is no more.
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 6:58 pm

See! Gomez walks the fucking pitcher… uh. wait..
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:03 pm

Yeah, Timmy’s getting himself in trouble with the walks.
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:05 pm

What a stupid play there.
Del Mar Dennis said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:05 pm

You walk the opposing pitcher? You got that shit coming.

And how the fuck did they give Fowler a hit on that ball to DeRosa? Catch the fucking ball.
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:05 pm

Randy McQuade gave ’em an out.
- Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:14 pm
  
  Ooops, that was the last mgr . . .
Big flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:08 pm

Tracey, running his team out of an inning for no reason. Idiot. I’ve never thought he was a good manager
Del Mar Dennis said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:09 pm

Gomez!
DJLoo said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:11 pm

ADD-A-BOY!!!
- twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:15 pm
  
  That’s bullshit, Loo.
stixwiz said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:12 pm

Timmy giveth. Torres taketh right back.
Del Mar Dennis said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:15 pm

Shitholtz loves him some Coors Field.
DJLoo said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:15 pm

Nate hit that with his eyes closed!
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:15 pm

OK, fine. Give up 5-6 walks a game, win w/o any problems . . .

Sanchez will be just fine.
zumarust said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:16 pm

Alright- some lollipops and gumdrops!
zumarust said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:20 pm

Coors Field reminds me of some of the places I used to play wiffleball. Or, rather, Wiffleball. I remember being chastised for not capitalizing that.
Del Mar Dennis said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:22 pm

Timmy Sanchez. Unfuckingbelievable. Get a goddamn haircut!
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:22 pm

Thank God it’s no Gomez on the hill.
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:29 pm

Well, gutty but stupid effort from the Timmer.
Flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:31 pm

Come on, that was a bad throw but it was totally catchable. Shit effort by Tejada to catch that…….
- Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:36 pm
  
  Shit, he’s old. He can’t bend over anymore.
- twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:37 pm
  
  Bullshit. All on Tim-low and behind.
- Big flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:49 pm
  
  So you think that ball was uncatchable? You’re hilarious, a good little leaguer should have had that
  - twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:57 pm
    
    You are lying. low and behind him. The behind is what made it impossible.What you’ll do to malign Tejada is pathetc. This was a terrible performace from Lincecum…
- Big flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:03 pm
  
  You didn’t watch the replay. That was a catchable ball. It was a shitty throw but it should have been caught. Another classic case of you defending a Latin guy for no other reason than because someone else called him out. You’re flat out biased on this topic
  - willied said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:10 pm
    
    not quite what miller said on the radio. He and fleming never mentioned tejada’s role at all.
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:33 pm

Wow. maybe not.
zumarust said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:34 pm

For whatever reason, none of Tim’s breaking stuff had much break on it tonight.
- Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:34 pm
  
  No more humidor balls.
Del Mar Dennis said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:34 pm

Now he really needs to get a goddamn haircut. Fucking shitty performance from the reigning two-time Cy Young Award winner. Gomez tomorrow is gonna look gold compared to this horseshit.
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:35 pm

He left that spilt in the wrong place 2x that inning.
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:36 pm

Horrible horrible outing from Tim. Nothing to redeem it, even have to take the “gutty” back after that horseshit give in to Gonzales…at least we have a consistent pitcher going tomorrow.
- Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:37 pm
  
  It’s so cute that you hate it when people are being snarky when you are the queen of snark. . . .
Del Mar Dennis said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:37 pm

I’m not making any excuses for his stoopid ass, but that extra day of rest sure didn’t help his stuff any.
This was the worst stuff he’s had all year.
snarkk said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:41 pm

I’d call that a bit of a debacle…
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:41 pm

Chuckles, do you bank on line? Wait, forget that. I’ll check..
- TedSpe said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:47 pm
  
  I sure as fuck don’t. Please bear that in mind
  😉
PawlieKokonuts said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:47 pm

I loathe the Rockies, but if they win we get an assist. And a major leaguer could’ve caught Timmy’s errant throw. Lousy crummy awful stupid half-inning. Game’s not over. We’ve seen crazier stuff in Denver. I love the swagger Andres showed, followed by Nate. This game is, is, what’s the word, tortuga? torrid? tort…

(One other gripe: lost the stream on Kostaz003, now I have to listen to the idiot Rox announcers on free MLB.com. Eeejits.)
- zumarust said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:49 pm
  
  Yeah- they’ve got a guy in a cowboy hat they call: Cowboy.
  - blade3colorado said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:16 pm
    
    Tracy Ringolsby . . . Idiot extraoidinaire.
- twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:52 pm
  
  Low, yes. Low and behind-nobody. Tim gives up seven, walks six including the pitcher, caves to Cargo- and you guys are talking Tejada? Truly pathetic.
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:49 pm

Maybe Tim missed his din-din.
- TedSpe said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:51 pm
  
  Do they have In-N-Outs in Colorado?
- TedSpe said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:52 pm
  
  Oh…and it ain’t the burgers. It just is. Today

It could have been a worse night for Timmy, his name could have been Vin Mazzaro.

  Dennis, are you kidding?! Yikes. We must make that a verb: “Man, he just Mazzaroed that inning.” Or: “How was your date?” “Awful. She Vinmazzaroed me.”

Man, Cleveland’s beating the heck out of KC, 19-1.

Nice D Rowand
Rough Trade said, on May 16, 2011 at 7:57 pm

I was surprised Bochy didn’t go to the pen with Cargo up. I wonder if Affedt’s recent problems weighed into the decision.
- zumarust said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:00 pm
  
  Definitely.
- twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:08 pm
  
  Looks Tim threw a shut out, everybody else fucked up.
TedSpe said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:00 pm

The Giants-There’s Magic Inside
The Rockies-There’s Humidors Inside
Bozo said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:01 pm

I want to thank everyone. Reading through tonight’s post I know I should stay away from the Black and Orange acid. Sanchez nibbles at the plate, it’s what he does. Oh wait, you weren’t talking about Freddy.
Can we come back and win this game tonight before everyone does their praise/bashing of tomorrows game? Shieeet.
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:04 pm

I’ll replay that throw later. K and K LOVE Timmy, they’d trash Miggy if they thought he could have had it.
Big flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:08 pm

They never trash a vet. I’ll put a poll up and we can see what all the racists at the flap think.
Big flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:10 pm

Everyone knows tim’s throw was shitty. But MLB players catch bad throws. It was totally fucking catchable….
TedSpe said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:11 pm

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
DO IT
Rough Trade said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:12 pm

Was Tejada was also slow in covering? 🙂

No excuses though. Uncharacteristic effort from Burger boy. He even lost his composure at one point on a ball to Cargo.
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:13 pm

You are wrong.
DJLoo said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:14 pm

Pat’s career on the line this AB…
twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:16 pm

RT: Funny, actually if he’d been slow covering he could have caught it.
Big flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:18 pm

The Bat is starting to make that million bucks look like a lot of money…
- twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:27 pm
  
  GREAT AB, though. Took a lot of pitches before he struck out..probably knew Miggy was due soon so he was pressing..
- PawlieKokonuts said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:28 pm
  
  Clueless at-bat from Pat. He had a walk handed to him on the pitch after 3-0. Swung wildly. Then misses on a good pitch. Then tries to get the play-acting call Jeter always gets. Embarrassing. And his name doesn’t even end in a vowel!
- TedSpe said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:30 pm
  
  Thank you Pat Sajak

twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:23 pm

Burriss is more valuable than DeRosa now. Miggy has twenty OUTS hit harder than anything DeRosa has hit..
willied said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:24 pm

Did krukow really say righties were hitting .371 off Runzler?
yeah, fowler wasn’t the guy you wanted to walk on this team.

  Sierra, Rivera, Gomez, whatever . . .
Big flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:26 pm

Runzler is irresponsible as a pitcher right now when he has to throw to 1b. Go see a fucking therapist or something but hes worthless as a pitcher if he cant throw to first base
DJLoo said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:27 pm

Looked more like Art Fowler, Billy Martin’s long time drinking buddy…

On that 0-2 pitch to Gonzalez….a lot of times, Tim throws something in the dirt in those situations. Not that time.
Unca Chuck said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:43 pm

Go-go Gomez on the mound tomorrow. Piece of cake . . .
snarkk said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:44 pm

I didn’t see much of this one. Mostly radio. Sounded pretty rotten. Has to be one of Timmeh’s stinkier efforts. And defense didn’t sound great. Miller basically ripped DeRosa for a non-play at 3rd that shoulda been a DP. I’m glad they’re playing DeRosa, they need to see what they’ve got so they can make a decision. Apparently they don’t got much.
Nite all…
- Nipper said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:46 pm
  
  He sucks.
  - zumarust said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:51 pm
    
    Beat again by Nipper. How sad is THAT?!
zumarust said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:46 pm

I think we’re all in agreement that DeRosa sucks.
- willied said, on May 16, 2011 at 9:05 pm
  
  in that last AB, the pitch he swung at was the worst of the 3 he saw.
  Tejada at least put one on the warning track. He doesn’t look as bad at 3B as he does at SS, either.
  - twinfan said, on May 16, 2011 at 9:10 pm
    
    Uh,and two hits…and he played well at SS tonight.
Big flavor said, on May 16, 2011 at 8:48 pm

Well, derosa deserves more than 2o at bats or whatever. If miggy gets 150 how many does derosa get? They both look done to me but at least miggy gets the ball in the air once a night
