The Rockies and Don arrive at the Ballpark to face the Rangers - COL v TEX

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Is this sky falling again?

Don't worry, the new digs will have a roof.

 

[Kelleyman]

If Mendez is our top pitching prospect, it' going to be awhile before they are ready to compete again.

True but he is far from it

Guess that helps for errant birds droppings

 

[Duane1952]

Another good play by DDJ.

Not even close. He should be highly valued, but we simply cannot develop starting pitchers.

They brought him up despite not performing great in AAA and is in danger of losing his roster spot. This amounts to an audition which is pretty much been the whole season.

Can not or have not. Big difference

And Roogie continues to impress us

Given what we have in the upper farm these youngsters may have a very good opportunity to advance quickly.

When have not lasts as long as it has it is just about the same as can not.

Good nite TAG/ Dave.....crap

 

[Nightcrawler]

There’s a funky odor in the park tonight

 

[WastinSomeTime]

From Mark Schlereth:
I believe this ump in the @Rockies vs @Rangers game has a dinner reservation.

 

[donaldson79]

Plum wrong. That was dirty as it gets and wrong guy gets suspended.

It was, at least to me, a punk play, and totally uncalled for. Although it was within the 'rules of the game.' I had no appreciation for it, and honestly, had the situation been reversed, I'd feel same.

From having been at the game - in Sec 23, so there Mr DT - he seemed to have had a VERY high strike zone. Is this what you guys observed?

 

[donaldson79]

We've got a man on location taking extensive notes.

Hey....I got us FIVE BIG ONE'S right off the bat....leave me alone.

 

[donaldson79]

I don't know if you guys know this - I certainly didn't - the Rangers are the 15th highest team in attendance in the majors......And the crowd tonight - announced as over 30,000 - was impressive and surprising.

Why the negative rating sir?

Odor didn’t even put the ball in play tonight. Terrible game for him.

It was such a reach at being clever sir.....What you 'observed' was fine, and accurate....Just one guy's opinion. No sweat.
