Sweet
Taking inventory is kicking up.
Morillo is a personal fave, and I believe with patience, he can become a solid seventh inning/middle guy.
By the way, take away Morillo’s April, and you have a much better picture of what he’s done this year.
praise the lordd
wow maybe things will go our way the 2nd half of the year haha
this team is utter rubbish...

Someone messed up,
as a few stories (like this one) reports Jhoulys Chacin was brought to the majors. I wonder how that error slipped through.

Willy's reached 40!
Stolen bases, that is.

But should have been called out after
seeing the replay.

Willy takes third, and then
home on the error.

Homer for Bautista.
Glendon, let that be all for the night.

Honestly
Why does everyone think Atkins is so lazy? I feel like I’ve seen him make a lot of good plays at third.
I don't think anyone does
The problem is with ability (more mobility) than any laziness. Atkins simply hasn’t shown the range in most seasons to be considered even average at third defensively. This year, he’s improved, but still only ranks 14th of 25 qualifying third basemen in RZR, putting him in the bottom half of the league once again. Most every other year he’s been in the bottom five, so it’s hard to say that this improvement is sustainable as he inches towards 30.
That doesn’t have anything to do with laziness, but with quick twitch athleticism he doesn’t quite have.
Men on the corners, two out.
Rusch is coming out, so let’s see what the ‘pen can do.

Rusch
Not too bad. No walks, etc. 2 additional ER’s still out there, though.
Grilli gets the job done.

K!
Funny that I always feel at least OK when Grilli is coming in, in spite of everything we had heard.
Did anyone
get a good read on that sign behind the roving reporter? It had: “Hey Holliday, I’m your wife’s grandpa’s . . .” There were plenty of words after that.

Seth Smith!
Inside-the-park home run!

wow
apparently that was the 11th ever at Coors.
Random note:
Last night I had a dream that Holliday was traded to the Marlins for three guys named Garcia, Register, and Buchholz. I was absolutely apoplectic, but not that surprised, that O’Dowd managed to give away Matt for two guys that we already have.
Yes, my psyche has problems.

Well, years ago
there was a guy who wound up being traded for himself. Never know what crazy ideas O’Dowd has in him. Though you can’t actually be traded for yourself anymore.

If he could contemplate
giving away Holliday and Fuentes for that pile of crap the Phillies were dangling, he’ll do anything. Dunno why we wanted those guys. Maybe they’re better churchgoers than they are players.

Another reason we should trade Fuentes...
Manny Corpas’ last 10 outings (before tonight):
10 Innings, 2 ER, 1.80 ERA, 12 SO, 10 H, 0 BB
Time to shut this one down, Fuentes.

Jeeeez
Maybe we actually shouldn’t trade Tito after all. Or have the Mets give us Beltran, straight up, or something.
