Everyone is getting hot again.

Serious question here.

When was the last time Ryan Flaherty got a hit, or even got on base? I honestly can't remember.

We need it. You've gotta figure Acuna will miss at least a couple of games.

I was just thinking/wondering when he could be DFA'd. Culberson more than provides the versitility he supposedly provides. As a lefty bat off the bench he is pretty unimpressive. Bring up Ruiz or someone from AAA to provide the lefty bat on the bench.

I guess he's not the worst player we've had. I mean, he's not helping us win games, but he's not costing us games either. A no impact player is better than a negative impact player like a Sam Freeman.

I swear if Snit starts Duvall over Charlie in LF im gonna be pissed.

What a pickup Venters was. He is just as good as I remember.

You know he will.

Yep. Snit obviously likes him. He was red hot at first, but I am pretty much over him now. He is pretty much just a guy that has experience and is versatile. It is hard to hit when you play every day. Really hard to do it off the bench. That is what makes Charlie so fucking amazing this year!

He's been a God send. I thought it was gonna be a cool nostalgia move that had no impact, but he's been money.

He doesn't throw as hard as he used to, but his stuff is still filthy.

Back in 2010-2011 before he started having his arm trouble, when he was on, his stuff was better than Kimbrel's.

I would sell the farm to get Arenado.

I'm guessing Flaherty is a good teammate and clubhouse guy.

He must be. Hopefully he will contribute somehow down the stretch. Or at least...not fuck up.

I'd be more willing to trade top pitching prospects to the Rockies. They probably wouldn't pan out in altitude.

I wonder how many careers were ruined by being a pitcher for the Rockies.

a fluffer?

It wont happen but he should win comeback POTY

Most of them.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Well Ramos just hit a Double...Phillies now winng 6-3

 

[Mondo Jay]

Even that guy's outs are roped.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Brach has been money too. Still not crazy about Duvall, but AA did great by getting Venters and Brach, and Gausman hasn't been bad either.
