Looks like Brad is going for the crotch grab there
and Atkins is surreptitiously attempting to dissuade him.

"Suck it monkeys, the Rockies will win this year", Rox Girl 1-11-2009
I have DirecTV
I like it, for the most part. However, when there is bad weather, sometimes we lose our signal. Hence, tonight I am relegated to following on Gameday and Purple Row. To be honest, I don’t know if it’s just the weather, or the fact that we have about two and a half feet of snow on top of our receiver right now.
Better now that the tv feed is back

Anybody know why mlb.com gameday
doesn’t post in-game highlights of the Rockies games? I’ve noticed this a few times this year.
Because
The Rockies are inconsequential, failure-prone, and have no extant fanbase, that’s why. So who would care? JEEZ

the season record for most homers by a switch hitter with 13. Fowler will smash that record one season.

you can do if there’s only a few guys you trust. We had 3+ innings that we needed to account for.
I probably would have started the inning with Embree
Would have been easier for him to work with empty basepaths. Or, maybe it would have ended up the same. Just not the way I would have gone. But who am I to argue with the all knowing Clint Hurdle and Bob Apodaca . . . they have such glowing track records in these situations.

the two ABs by Tulo and Ianetta highlight what I have been coaching my kid. These players today do not adjust to what is happening to them. Both of these guys were getting heat on the outside. In the past we would shorten up to reach that with contact. Today they do not adjust within the AB. Ianetta was behind on every pitch but did nothing.

I am now quite peeved...
… that we gave away Morillo, who had done nothing this season to suggest with ANY certainty, let alone total certainty, that he didn’t deserve a chance to stick, so we could give a roster spot to a NRI in Belisle that didn’t have an opt out clause, and isn’t pitching well.
Morillo had a good ST. Morillo didn’t pitch poorly in the first series. In fact, he didn’t pitch at all. If we had sent Morillo out there and he was as bad as Belisle is now? Fine, DFA him and lose him on waivers. I’d have been totally cool with that. But now we have Matt Belisle there instead not doing well.
Let’s face it; the Rockies went into this knowing they weren’t going to keep Morillo, and decided to ignore the fact that they should have. At least give him a chance to stick for heaven’s sake!
Giving away talent
even marginal talent is not good. It’s a growing trend for the Rockies.
Just looking at the Purps list…and we didn’t get crap back for them…besides a pitcher that sucks so bad we can’t use him in Hammels.
"Suck it monkeys, the Rockies will win this year", Rox Girl 1-11-2009
I agree with this...
Morillo was awesome in spring training. He was able to get out of jams with guys on base, he is someone who we had gotten to see flashes of his talent but he was never given a chance to stick. Maybe I am loyal and naive, but I think we should at least give guys in our own system A CHANCE before NRI. It wasn’t like Morillo was a liabilty or gave any indication or reason why he shouldn’t be given a chance to pitch for this team.

I don't think it's naive at all.
It would be naive if either of us thought it was some sort of guarantee Morillo would be doing better than Belisile is now. We obviously don’t know, and Morillo has not had a stable track record at any point in his career. But he certainly didn’t earn an automatic demotion. It’s not like his high ceiling was hogging a spot for a magical Matt Belisle whose contribution is worth losing Morillo. Belisle was stuck either way, and Morillo was not.
