Q and Herrera
In the same lineup….
Um…whatever…
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
Nice play
by Herrera to get the third out.

Herrera
How much 2nd has Herrera played in the minors?
I thought that he had been focusing on SS still.
Single and steal
for Pods. Let’s see some more.

Lowe is heartily sick of Atkins by now

Bases loaded
for Brad.

Bases loaded, one out for Chris
We have GOT to score here.

Brad pops up,
but Iannetta gets a sac fly.

Sac Fly by Iannetta
I suspect we’re all thinking the same thing.
If he was playing
third base that sac fly would have been a grand slam?

I was thinking that...
if it was Torre, it would be GIDP.

Happy thoughts today.
Happy thoughts.

I do have happy thoughts
:) If he was at third base, it totally would have been a grand salami.
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
I was actually thinking
way to get Hurdle’s attention, Chris.
A productive out might do a better job than a walk.
RBI
That is the important part.
Better a walk than an unproductive out but better a sac fly than a walk in that position.
I was just saying that from Hurdle's vantage point,
taking that ball deep enough the other way to score the run is going to get Chris brownie points that another BB might not necessarily have done, even if it would have been the preferred outcome.
I got distracted after "brownie"
Reallly hungry right now…

51 Pitches
For Lowe in the 1st. Not bad at all

Hola PR
its a beautiful day here in NY. Lets hope for another good outing from Cook. And more 50 pitch innings from Lowe.
I would be okay with that. :)
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
I like this lineup...
think there’s any chance we’ll ever see it again besides maybe next Sunday? And speaking of things we may never see again, where’s Spilborghs?
Inside joke warning:
He’s probably locked wherever they put Buchholz. Last year it was Iannetta and Bucky in an undisclosed spot.

Nice catch
Holliday looks like a middle linebacker out there

Cook gave that ball
a nice ride, even though it turned into an out.

Hi guys
Despite the score thus far, I just wanted to check in to say that I am digging these Sunday afternoon TV announcers for the Rox. Its a pleasure to hear another NL West broadcast who are knowledgable, insightful, and such a difference from the other “Homers” who do television commentary in our division. This is soooo much better than having to hear Mark Grant, Mark Grace, or those tools from the Gints broadcast.
Best of luck to the Rox this season, and here’s wishing the rest of the team gets healthy soon!
Paul Lo Duca is MLB's Pablo Escobar..
Different crew
The play by play is the KOA radio guy (who is great) and the color guy is not the primary color guy (who is more abrasive).
I figured as much
Having the MLB Extra innings package, I’ve watched the Friday & Saturday night Rockies broadcast as well. Those were both enjoyable and not too over the top like the Madres, Gints, or Backs broadcasts can be. However, this Sunday television broadcast team is exceptional. Thanks for letting me drop by with my $0.02!!!

You don't like to hear Grace
either a)spend 20 minutes on stupid nicknames or b)ramble on about the various sand/color permutations on the Dbacks uniforms?

I guess the grass is always greener
but I’d trade Frazier and Huson for the Giants’ Mike Krukow in a nanosecond. I can’t listen to Grace, the ultimate homer, but find Grant occasionally funny and Krukow is among the best.
Uh, guys...
You don’t have to feel sorry for Lowe’s pitch count. Really, you don’t.

Comebacker to Cook.
Another one down.

with another great play!

Hurdle's lineup
looking good so far. Herrara has nice range at 2b.
Herrera
Fun to FINALLY get to see this guy’s defense in action after hearing about it for years as he moved up the ladder.
Okay guys.
NOW for the next 50 pitch inning. Please.

But Kemp strikes out
after the hit.

Cookie
My guess is that Cook was talking to the ump about Loney screwing around that at-bat, right?
what happened?
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
So Cook gives up his first hit,
but nothing comes of it. This is good.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence

And a DP to end the inning.
Let that be the end of the Dodgers’ offense.

3-1 now
Lowe is in quite a little groove right now. Let’s go bats!
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
A middle IF simply HAS to be able
to put down a sacrifice bunt…just has to.
That was a funny mess.
I never saw Holliday get tagged.
What happened?
I can imagine gameday is going to take years to sort it out.
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
Lots of throwing and running around.
Holliday out in the run-down, apparently.
The Rockies
get the lead back on a single, then the Dodger infield had an adventure.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence

get the run

Every time I read that...
It cracks me up. “Dodger infield had an adventure.” LOL
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
It looked to me like Holliday had the (mis) adventure on the bases
Where was he going to be picked off like that? Our “terrific” TV announcers failed to address Matt’s foolish wandering that cost at least one more run.
Make them pay Atkins
for IBBing Toddie

Yay!
An intent walk worked in our favor!! What a thought!!

Cookie's D
Cook’s defense is working well also. :)
Yeah if Herrera can even hit a little bit
I would like to see him get a lot of time at 2b. His d is tremendous.
Well
so far….not so good on the Offense. That Bunt with the pitcher coming up was NOT smart
Garrett Atkins for 2nd ! Ian Stewart for 3rd !
Hurdle has the strangest notions
about when to bunt. This I have noticed.
www.notthisday.com ....coming September 26th and 27th at the Pinnacle Event Center, Denver.
pretty much....
standard Hurdle.
Unbelievable.
Late to the party
Announcers just said, “Bullpen is Quiet”
YEA!
Garrett Atkins for 2nd ! Ian Stewart for 3rd !
What's up, Row?
Taking a break from finals studying…Sorry about leaving last night, I had to eat. I take full responsibility for the loss.
Note:
Podsednick went back to the high socks look, after going to the long pants look yesterday.
Garrett Atkins for 2nd ! Ian Stewart for 3rd !

Bucky!

Bucky gets it done yet again!!
Maybe the guy should pitch a bit more often, you think?
That's
some outside the box thinking.

Ground-rule double
for Hawpe. Sweet.

Well, one thing's clear
I should go shopping for annuals more often! Hi troops! Been checking in on the radio this afternoon. Things seemed to have gone pretty well for the good guys today?
And Bucky’s back from Siberia! Amazing.

Sooooooo
How soon can O’Down clone or acquire more sinkerballers like Cook. He’s been team MVP so far this year.
Aaron Cook
5 – 1
Everyone Else: 7 – 18.
Ugh.
Easily #1 in the team MVP race
Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!
worse than that....
one of the other wins was a start by Cook. So, 6-1 in games started by Cook, 6-18 in games started by others.
It’s also nice to see him getting some run support for a change.
I'll admit it
I’m a little gay for Aaron Cook right now. What a monster.
We keep saying ‘This is where it starts’ every time he gets a W for us. Maybe this time we’ll be right.
Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.
Old baseball saying...
momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher.
Up to you, Ubaldo.
Of course we got our weekly win
Cookie and Garrett did their things, helped out by Holliday and Pods. And Bucky made an appearance. And can we ever, ever win a game not started by Aaron? (He and Atkins can split Team MVP).
We're all going to die!
Herrera
Anybody got a bio and organizational history on this guy, like what’s been management’s long-term thinking? I liked what I saw today.
pods should play everyday,
the guy has an obp of .500 and he is good defensivly with a good arm. other day he ripped a triple to the oppsite field, in a clutch part of the game. taveras cant even ground out the oppsite field. pods led off with a great ab, stole a base, and then scored. drove in runs later. when has taveras ever had a good game like that EVER? pods should play every day.
Scott Podsenik for center field 08
Um
Did you see Taveras last season? You essentially described what he did for the Rockies last season.
I’d go ahead and wager that it’s likely Podsednik will cool down given enough at bats and that Taveras will play closer to what he has done in his career given enough at bats.
not to mention
that Willie T also leads the NL in stolen bases (as of Sunday morning)
Garrett Atkins for 2nd ! Ian Stewart for 3rd !
say what you will
pods is swinging better than taveras right now…. i would wager later too., taveras takes horrible routes to balls, like last night, he over ran that second dive, could of cut it off sooner and caough it with out a dive, pods is better he has a 500 obp how can you complain.
Scott Podsenik for center field 08
History, reality, sanity?
Other than that, I can’t think of any argument against your assertion.
The team may complain
I’m sure they would rather not see a grown man cry again if he isn’t starting and that might just happen if Willy T is sitting on the bench.
You’re right though, the team is responding to Pods. Right now he seems to get more hits in crucial situations than Taveras does. We all know when the season is over Willy will probably have much better stats than Scott, but the team is better right now with Pods in the lineup.
thank you
pods is a grinder…. ill bet you anything the chisox dont win the world series in 2005 with out pods. granted this is 3 years later but he has had 2 injury seasons. but he is an all star caliber player, he has a career 340 obp. he has stolen more than 40 bases 5 times in a season. he has some pop in his bat averagin about 28 doubles a season. he walks about 55 times a year too. and i swear he has a better arm and is better defensivly. the guy is healthy play him.
taveras is a career .338 obp which is close to pods granted. only at about 13 doubles a season and NEVER stole more than 34 bases in a season. he only walks about 25 times a year. he takes horrible routes to balls ( he can make up for it with his speed, but it does bite im in the rear sometimes). and a ok arm…. taveras would be an awesome bench guy to PR or lay a bunt down when you need it. to me right now especially its clear pods should start . dont tell me taveras has better history than pods. these stats tell me pods should start. pods has been hurt the last 2 years
