Great. They were pushing it with G-Gon.
Hopefully they don’t lose him for an extended period.
G-Gon?
He pitches for Oakland doesn’t he?

No, somebody used it yesterday.
Apparently, when asked during spring training what his preferred nickname was, Calos Gonzalez said it was “G-Gon”.
That nickname is rejected
CarGo, CarGon, Gonzo, and the Knife are acceptable
Gladly sharing a name with Dexter Fowler!

They do seem to paying special attention to chemistry with a lot of their moves lately.
I remember one of the articles about the Giambi pickup mentioned that they thought he’d be a good clubhouse guy and would handle a limited role without complaint (which I can see about him).
Maybe once Tracy weighed in,
they didn’t want to get him.
o well hes been abysmal anyways...

I’m not an insider – I’m curious as to how rare our 52-22 record really is.
Man, the only bad thing about these afternoon games
is that it pretty much makes it impossible for me to get any work done. At least today we’re doing inventory so nothing much is going on.

Once he's ready to make the majors,
He has a bat that could switch anywhere. If Stewie doesn’t get it in gear, third seems likely. Otherwise probably second but he could play the OF as well.

Okay ...it seems to me
that somehow the Rox have let the Dodgers get into their collective head….We are timid at the plate…I do not approve
This has been the case for both our pitchers and hitters all season.
I don’t know why it is, but we don’t play as well against them as we do against anybody else.
It's obvious
They have kryptonite bats and gloves

The FanPost that I'm deleting from Kazmandoo reads:
Wiff, wiff, ground out, wiff, pop out, wiff, wiff. That’s about what Hawpe and Stewart are contributing offensively. I’m not so sure Stewart’s in a slump, he’s never really hit well (occasional homer is about all). He’s just not a good hitter. There will not be a surge for the divisional crown if these guys can’t hit above their weight. 220 ba (Stewart) is pathethic. Atkins just got a hit. Trade Stewart, keep Atkins. Hawpe can go too, his stock is somewhat up, and is replaceable.
I’m not deleting it to censor him, I just think this stuff works better in a comment in threads rather than as a FanPost.

Based on today
Seems like the dodgers getting Padilla and us losing Cook and replacing with ____ might decide this race…
what I'm saying is
it seems like they might have got a horse to ride down the stretch while we’re still grasping badly for a replacement. Maybe ours will work out fine too, but we’re already in the hole after yesterday.

For the ease of math, I’ll include today so 35 games left. If we win 4/5 of those 35, that gives us 28 wins. That’ll put us at 100 wins.

I guess if a ball gets away on the intentional ball, then he moves to third

What was the need with Manny walking???
is he going to try to steal third too?? There are already two outs… Don’t get it

yep
if they were up by 4 or more, it might be an issue. Frankly, I never have a problem with it, that’s why they invented the “indifference” rule. Take the bases that you can.
I agree with taking the bases if you can, but he gets the base in one more pitch....

Really though, it doesn’t matter one way or another

I guess its true
not really disagreeing with you, I’m just generally indifferent.
I don't think
it makes any sense in that situation. it was on the third pitch of an intentional walk?

Rockies 9th inning hitters stats for August.
Barmes .203/.289/.494, 2 2B, 7 HR, 6 BB
Yorvit .303/.378/.333 1 2B, 4 BB (3 IBB)
Spilborghs .286/.340/.469 3 2B, 2 HR, 4 BB
Barmes has been a positive with every type of pitch except changeups, but he especially likes fastballs. Yorvit hits FB’s and changeups but nothing breaking, and Spilly’s been a slight negative to average on any type of pitch.
Tulo catches flyout
bootom 9!
