please keep adding more runs, that is all

Dodgers, Pirates, Padres, Reds or Marlins?
They’re all getting worse production from third base than we are.
Is Cantu playing 1B?
Because he’s hitting well

He must be,
I just went from a straight OPS split at B-Ref, I didn’t look too much into it. I know Encarnacion is gawdawful both offensively and defensively here in Cincy, Atkins would actually be an upgrade on both sides for the Reds.
I thought Encarnacion was supposed to be a good DF 3B

They would be
getting Atkins not Atkins/Stewart

A lot of Stewart's production is credited to when he plays other positions
Our third base productivity is almost entirely Garrett.

Naw
They all got mad when we said we should trade Atkins. I mean, we already traded our precious Holliday… who would drive in runs if we trade Atkins too? More importantly, who would hit into all the DPs? Torrealba? He doesn’t play often enough to meet that quota!

Look
at Matt Holliday 2009 vs. Rockies LF 2009….think about it…
"Better move your rental cars, I am about to take BP."

with Holliday tanking so far
is there anyone that thinks we can resign him?

Not to sound like a knee-jerk DP poster
but the Rockies could DFA Atkins tomorrow, and I wouldn’t be upset at all.
His bat is NOT going to get faster
Ok just because Sandlot said "DP"

The only thing i’d be mad about is that O’Dowd didn’t find a sucker willing to take him.

-Glendon Rusch
Yeah, but what're the odds...
…that anybody would trade for him after it was obvious even we didn’t want him?
Don't we get 10 days for a trade after DFA?

The Padres announcers are officially the least biased I have ever seen
They just mentioned that Iannetta’s K3 call last time was borderline at best.
Listened to the radio guys on XM

My dreamlineup would like this...
Based on performance over the past 7 days:
Spilly .292/.393/.542
Smith .333/.500/.583
Helton .478/.519/.652
Doom .308/.471/.769
Tulo .333/.333/.444
Atkins .300/.364/.400
Stewart .133/.350/.267
Dex .261/.308/.304
Ef you baldo try Hair-Be Dere!!
This lineup would improve their defensive makeup as well...
Their current UZR is -1.3, and this lineup would give them a +0.4
Spilly 0.5
Smith 2.3
Helton -0.4
Doom NA
Tulo -0.6
Atkins -0.8
Stewart -0.4
Dex -0.2
Ef you baldo try Hair-Be Dere!!
The Dbacks turned
a triple play tonight but trail the Dodgers 2-1.

How is that HurdleLogic?
(That’s the first time I’ve actually typed that—my least favorite PR meme after FAIL.)
Stolen bases, bunts, etc.
are all part of the same archaic, useless playbook that “old-school” managers always wax poetic about. And just like bunts, they’re usually a bad strategy (unless your SB success rate is way high—like, 90% high).
by Foxhole Atheist on May 4, 2009 10:09 PM MDT up reply actions
So I take it that your offensive strategy...
…is to get men on base and wait for a HR?
…Welcome to the 1990s, which was the only era that worked…
Yeah, you're right...
Earl Weaver’s Orioles teams of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s were really terrible, as have been the Red Sox of the ’00s.

Did Frazier just say that CDI was #1 catching people stealing base?
That’s a most excellent thing to hear, especially given that he was pretty bad at it last year.
Probably why he's #1...
…people are overconfident that they can run on him, so men get sent who never should :)
nice job Rusch
now for some runs past the 6th inning
BWHAHAHAHAHA….I crack me up some times…runs past the 6th.
In a 1 run game, no less.
It could happen, I guess.

Basically it was this whole thing....
where a frequent poster on here, Silverblood was talking about her feelings for the Rockies. She loves the Rockies like crazy, but we all know how up and down they can be. At times she is cynical, but when the Rox do great things like the Iannetta slam tonite, the crust melts all into goo. Basically just a good feeling involwing the Rockies
