Chris Iannetta, dreamy as ever, leads Rockies past Padres, 9-6

PrintSo I was writing a tag for this story. It was "dreamy". There are three tags that already use "dreamy." One of them is "zack greinke is dreamy." But no "chris iannetta is dreamy"? Well, I took care of that. Chris Iannetta is more dreamy than Zack Greinke.
Anyway, Chris Iannetta put the Rockies ahead 9-6 on his seventh-inning grand slam off of Cla Meredith (who entered once the bases were loaded). That completely turned the game in favor of the Rockies.
Chris Iannetta was clutch. That AB for Dreamy had a leverage index of 4.69. He came through when it counted the most, adding .387 to his .400 WPA for the game. Dude was dreamy and the bringer of doom this game. Troy Tulowitzki had an RBI double and a sac fly, while Todd Helton reached bases four times (two hits, two walks).
The pitching also turned in some solid performances tonight. The Padres were held to four hits, three off of Jorge De La Rosa. After De La Rosa left, Glendon Rusch, Matt Daley, Alan Embree, and Huston Street held the Padres to one hit over the last four innings.
The Rockies are now 10-14.

hope that we (as in rowboats) can set a date where we can see the people behind the names.
I’ll see if the wife will let me take a road trip if we do set a date :)

Sad I missed the game, again
But it’s set me up for this morning knowing we won!
4 hits off our pitching is good but when it leads to 6 runs that’s not so great… what’s the story there?
DLR had two innings clow up on him
One was due to walks and a home run, another due to walks and an error.

I don't really count
I just appeared at the start of the thread to tell you guys to ensure that business was taken care of. From all appearances, it was.
I love Greg Reynolds and I may be slightly ashamed to admit it.
I didn't thank everyone
for the discussing the game. I thanked everyone for the hilarity, which you were the source of for part of the game: crusty goo.

off topic....
but was already brought up…
Greinke—what happened to that guy? Can we just give him the Cy Young now?
He's a stud made of monsters
really filling out his Ace potential.

downside, not a groundballer.
Upside, when you can’t hit his stuff, you don’t need to be.

ah yea
I just commented in your recent post.
In a span of 3 weeks Ive had to do (or still need to do) two presentations, two papers, two finals, and finish up my curriculum for the class I’ll be teaching over the summer. Brutal, but I plan on Destructobeaming this semester.
I’ve been able to pop in a bit but comments have had to be sacrificed
Can we please, please sign Chris to a multi-year deal?
Or is there too much money tied up already? Rocky start aside, I think that he’s one of our best overall players and one of the better catchers (the best?) that the rockies organization has ever had. That and sigh, I have a crush on him…That’s a good reason for a 4+ year deal, right?
There's not too much money tied up yet
But highly unlikely they sign him during the season. If he mashes and walks at this pace, probably 90% likely they sign him to four years after the season.

sigh, I have a crush on him
I think you’ll find you are not the only one here
