Since the Marlins are rumored to be interested in Torrealba, there is an additional reason to hope Torrealba has a big day.

Cook isn’t exactly a model of durability, so leaving him in to purposely throw over 100 pitches in a year with stacked odds may not be the most forward thinking approach.

Some good news

Fowler homered from both sides of the plate today.

I went and watched him this week, and he doesn’t look like the same raw player I saw early this year. His hitting approach is pretty polished, and though his swing isn’t the prettiest, he produces line drives with it quite well, and it should play at the upper levels. He and Chacin share the crown as our top prospects.

Oh, and those that worry about Weathers haven’t seen him pitch recently. He’s dominating with the fastball, and though he doesn’t need to in most outings, he still flashes a plus plus slider. He’s not here in Tulsa because he’s not ready, that I can tell you.

by David OhNo on Jul 6, 2008 3:38 PM MDT reply actions  

What's the holdup

for Weathers, then? Have to believe he’d be better than some of the schmucks we have in the pen now.

How long will Fowler be in Tulsa?

by rosenthal on Jul 6, 2008 3:44 PM MDT up reply actions  

Typical cautious approach by Colorado

plus some likely concerns over abitration clocks. Weathers has some command issues, but nothing that’s alarming or a barrier to big league success.

As for Fowler, hard to say. I’d like to see some aggression to have him ready for opening day of ‘09, as he’s having a similar if not better season in Tulsa to Troy’s Double A year, where he was moved up a bit before September.

Uh-huh. I’m guessing Hurdle was going to use Cook, only to find out that he was unavailable.

Well, today ain't good

but to be honest, finishing 5-2 on the home stand ain’t all bad. Especially considering the heroics it took to win a couple of those 5.

I’d rather we finish off the sweep today, but the odds of that happening are, well, not very good.

Put me out of my misery. Please!

by rockhead on Jul 6, 2008 4:06 PM MDT reply actions  

We play pretty well at home

The challenge is winning a damn game on the road, and with a seven-game trip to Milwaukee and New York looming, we could be back to agonizing fail in the blink of an eye.

We are all dead.

by Silverblood on Jul 6, 2008 4:07 PM MDT up reply actions  

Oh yes

And as you noted, we have no one but Bucky in the pen who’s worth a crap. That is the primary reason I don’t see a run to the playoffs in this team, and why we will probably see some serious movement of players after the break.

Put me out of my misery. Please!

if douchebag comes up

More fail. Argh.

3 of 4 from the Fish isn’t bad, since we had to fight them tooth and nail to get there, but the sweep with Cook on the mound would have been really nice. And now we have to try to win a game on the road with the ever-present threat of total garbage in the bullpen.
