No MVP; no P hitting 8. Odds are not good I'll approve of this game, but you never know. SammyJam with a sub 2.00 ERA in Coors.

Pebble those pebbling pebbles...10-6 good guys.

I doubt any of us will approve of any game played in Denver.

Just accept that and move on.

 

[calsnowskier]

And doing the dual-leadoff lineup in Denver doesnt make a lot of sense. You play AL ball here.

No Posey? Pourque? Esp after a day off?

Exactly what I was gonna ask

 

[calsnowskier]

He took a bad foul ball off his foot when he was in the squat on Sunday. They are just giving him an extra day.

A deep, potent lineup allows for that.

Thank you. One would think they would have armor for that. Fairly simple to create and remove as needed - make it an extension of the shin guards. Posey gets paid like $125k/game. The math makes it work. Just sayin'

There is a little flap that goes over the shoe. The ball just (as always) found that one spot that was not covered. He collapsed when he was hit, then jumped up and walked to the mound. He still had at least one AB after, IIRC.

Everyone's going LaRussa this year with the pitcher hitting 8th....strange watching the game evolve (the shift, etc)

 

[msgkings322]

Really need Smarg to pitch well today

 

[msgkings322]

OK I love Kruk, but I just cannot stand his 'in the squaaaat' growly thing. Just hate it. I'm sure it was clever and cute the first 500 times he did it but now it's like he actually thinks that's how you pronounce it. Jeebus.

 

[msgkings322]

Ugh, error at Coors....

 

[msgkings322]

Nice.

 

[msgkings322]

Craw goes against the shift, nice hitting. Batters need to learn to do that more (A Gonz is very good at it) to swing the pendulum back some.

 

[RamsFan88]

I wouldn't mind seeing them take a few pitches against this guy.

 

[msgkings322]

Here we go....Smarg needs to show some sack here and limit it to 1 run or less

 

[msgkings322]

Nice start

 

[tzill]

and the merry-go-round begins.

 

[msgkings322]

Nice to see Span get something. And we are starting to tag Chatwood.

Horrors. We're down a run after 2 at Coors. You just don't recover from that.
