Anybody notice what the Rockies are doing?  They're basically running an all-tandem pitching rotation.  All starters are limited to 75 pitches, at which point a pre-determined reliever comes in.  First we had Billy Beane running a team based on Sabermetrics, now we have Jim Tracy managing based on WIS.  Awesome!

Seems to be working out great, too...if the goal was finding new and creative ways to lose.

LOL!  They've had a ton of injuries, so I think Tracy's just trying to do the best he can with a bad situation.  Not that I'm a Rockies apologist, mind you; I only noticed because they were playing the local boys.  The play-by-play announcer even referred to the pitching staff as a Tandem Rotation!

now if they start to build by speed and defense with people who dont walk to take advantage of the +3 we will be on to something
