Tuesday Rockpile: Presented without subtitles. Oh.., rats.

although he doesn’t have the hair for it.

is to get Rockie. I mean, he’s got the summers free right?

young pitcher and all

look at Tulo, that pitch he hit out was a borderline pitch out based on location and he hit that out. I would’ve liked to see him get beat on a fastball instead, but it happens. Regardless I don’t like Morales in a bases loaded situation like that. I would mich rather see him to start an inning or needing just 1 out and facing a left handed hitter. I am hoping last night was an end to seeing Rincon in any type of close situation late in a game. I think Chacin may be that guy in a couple weeks, but he needs some more appearances first.

i have said that for a long time

they would almost definitely ask for Murton though. Their outfield is the worst in the MLB, and they have the delusion that they are still contending.

I like Rhodes though, he’s been death to lefties throughout his whole career, is even killing righties right now, and succeeding in the Red’s bandbox, but he has value to the Reds, unlike Beimel, who is just going to walk after the year’s over to get away from hell, so he could be had for less.

But the majority of our lineup can rock lefties at times; Fowler, Barmes, Atkins, Tulo, Iannetta, Spilly, and Hawpe all are great against lefties, and all can knock a homerun at any given time.. Besides, we are the most patient team in the league, so high K Santana will most likely have 100 through 6 if he actually does do good. (Strikeouts = even more pitches) We were hitting Ollie and the Mets pretty hard last night, we just couldn’t cash in the runs when it mattered.

The trouble with the Ghosts is that the best prospects on the team (Nolan Arenado, David Kandilas, etc..,) are so far away from contributing that to most casual fans they are going to be underwhelming. If you’re heavy into scouting and projection, look at these guys and see what they can become rather than what they are. If you’ve got difficulties with that, you might want to sort of ignore them and take a look at the more polished hitters, most notably Jared Clark and Eliezer Mesa. Both have at least some shot of becoming legit MLB prospects.

For pitching, I’d really try and work in Chris Balcom-Miller, because he’s experiencing a level of success there we don’t often see (Brandon Hynick and Jhoulys Chacin were the last two Casper starters as successful) and I’m really curious as to what he’s doing to perform so well. Given that company, it’s a really good sign that he’s a legitimate prospect.

He seems like he’s coming along though.

lets go rockies!

lets see how he performs in front of the pitcher. And I’ve been saying for a while now, that Smith needs to hit second. Thank you Tracy.
