I was almost out the door to the stadium when I realized that I forgot to schedule this. The Dragonslayer goes after our best young hatchling today.
Go Rockies!

Good lineup today
Go Rockies!!!
How I hate GIDP, RISP, and each little grounder. I'd have cracked years ago if it weren't for my sense of humor! (With apologies to Annie, the musical)
Fogg
I have a soft spot in my heart for Josh. I hope we beat them, but not too badly.
I just hope we beat them.
A sweep on the road sounds amazing.

U-ball
remembers to throw it around the IF after that catch. Good to see he’s been reminded of proper etiquette.

Uball
Enough with the tons of pitches and walking. Yes, even after one.

What was that all about?
They tried confusing us on the TV feed…

Oh, Chris.
You needed to get a hit there. Uball is up now.

Fogger
smartly lowers his walk totals by hitting Iannetta instead.

Really unusual for him
usually he’s Cook-esque in his GB rate. But if they’re outs, no biggie.

Top of the lineup coming up.
Come on guys.

This is the Worst-Fielding Team I have Ever Seen
I have a love-hate relationship with the Cincinnati D – It makes me cringe, but it gives us runs.
HIT!!!
Way to not fail, Tulo.

Fogg is probably not very happy right now.
I don’t care. I just love that he’s doing this against us, rather than FOR us.

I am so happy
that this lineup is finally doing what it was supposed to do this whole year – score runs. And a lot of them.
And they are making it look too easy...
And 40 in runs in 9 games now is not bad at all…....think Kip Wells and that number is even more impressive.

OK, Danny....
Hit the phones. We’re buyers.
Get another starting pitcher and let’s make a run at the NL West.
Well,
we’re trying to make a run. the “trying to” part goes away when I no longer see Kip Wells or the AAA pitcher du jour getting the ball every 5th day.
This is true.
I’d say if another NL West team pulls a trigger, we better kick it into action, if not eariler.

Over at the Red Reporter...
Someone trashed Tulo, called him a scrawney f&^king SS.
Do they know about normal SS body sizes?
Tulo
is pretty big for an SS at 6’3” and 200 lb. That was where all the Cal Ripken comparisons came from. He does look skinnier this year, but sheez, scrawny f*#&@ing SS is the sole domain of David Eckstein.

There should've
been an ejection for that one. It was blatantly intentional.

Hmmm
I am pretty sure that was an intentional plunking on the Reds’ part. Tulo has been torching them, we hit one of their guys last inning, and they’re already down 8-0 so they’re getting some cheap revenge…
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
Agreed.
I don’t need any suspensions of any of our big dogs to get in the way of our good road trip so far.

His swing is complex mechanically
which leads to some worries that he might be hamstrung by big league pitchers, who are (obviously) much more able to change speed and location than AA pitchers. Still, the kid has a glittering future and I think we see him in September, with a chance to win the starting role in ‘09.

That might be early,
he was still on a pitch count last night. Generally they give them one start in AA/AAA to go until they are done.
so that means

Okay....
This recent resurgence has to mean Matt’s staying, right? Right? I keep hearing all these trade rumors and they’re worrying me. I know we’re losing him, I just don’t wanna do it NOW.
Free Casey Weathers!!!!
I think it would be a really dumb idea
To trade Matt right now. Maybe in the offseason or next year if the return is good. But not right now. This lineup needs him there.
I'd have to think so
After all, it’s just the NL West. And it’s ripe for the taking. DOD has to know that.
Put me out of my misery. Please!
I'd still be fine with
leaving Cincinnati with Arroyo. He’s not a world-beater, but he CAN eat innings and when he’s on, he’s really on. Still better than Kip Wells, the Reds can eat most of the salary, and I’m sure we can help the Reds upgrade in, say, CF….

No one
Seems willing to meet O’Dowd’s asking price on Fuentes. With the Rockies playing so well after the break, there’s no real urgency to move him. Either someone pony’s up what he’s asking for or they’ll keep him for the stretch run and take the picks in the offseason.

11-0!
Holy crap. When I left at the end of the 4th with a score of 7-0, I felt reasonably confident that I’d come home to find they’d one, but 11-0 is not at all what I was expecting. I was thinking maybe 7-2, 8-3. But not 11-0! I approve!
Three things
Three things I realized while watching the game this afternoon.
1) Regardless of how well he pitched from outing to outing, I always did love watching Josh Fogg pitch. One of my all-time favorite Rockies. I miss the guy.
2) There is absolutely nothing wrong with Kip Wells in a relief role. In fact, I endorse it – if you’re going to keep him on the big roster, might as well utilize him in a role that fits him best, and his hard sinker seems to play pretty well in shorter outings.
3) I don’t think the Rockies offense ever got this hot at any point last season. They just aren’t missing mistakes, and everybody’s contributing. It’s really quite fun to watch. If we can bring this road-trip back at 7-3 or better I think we can get officially excited about August and perhaps beyond.
Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.
Machine's innings to be throttled
Jhoulys Chacin with his combined 15-1 season record goes again for Modesto this evening in a 6:05p.m. PDT start.
Denver Post footnotes this morning…
(Rockies’ director of player development ) Gustafson said Chacin has thrown 143 1/3 innings and might be kept on restricted innings for the rest of this season. . . .
Not exactly sure if this has any bearing on Chacin moving up to AA Tulsa anytime soon.
I'm just using
this post as an example since it’s the most recent, not picking on you. The quote you use would be great as a FanShot.
"Keep your head down, and inch toward daylight." - Blade of Tyshalle
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
You're right...
I moved it over…thought it wasn’t the best spot being in this thread anyhow when I posted. Only thing was FanPost nabbed me for not having 75 words (had 71), so I threw in 4 more.
