Meanwhile Back in Realityville

Earlier today, I posted an update on Troy Renck's uninsightful analysis of August 10th.

Here are some additional info to noodle on:

Ubaldo Jimenez has gone 4-1 since then and the Rockies won his no-decision last time out. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs except for his last start when he gave up 3, and has gone 8 innings in 4 of the 6 starts.

Jorge De La Rosa has gone 5-1 and the Rockies also won his no-decision. He has gone into the 6th inning in all but one game, when he went 5, and gone at least 7 3 times.

Jason Hammel has only gone 1-2 in his 7 starts since August 10th, but the Rockies have a 4-3 Record in his games. He has gone 6 innings or more in 5 of the 7 starts and had one 4 inning start, the only one by these 3 who didn't go 5. He has given up 3 or fewer runs in 5 of the starts, and only gave up 4 in the other two including last night.

Altogether those 3 starters have carried the Rockies to a 15-5 record in their combined 20 starts. But then the Rockies starters other than Cook and his replacements haven't done badly down the stretch.
