And you hit a bleeder to the pitcher off the tip of the bat.

popping out is better than grounding out

not really. sure, sometimes there’s that GIDP, but that’s negated by the possibility of moving runners over. Plus, getting a lucky hit is far more likely on a grounder than a popup….errors too

When you have to take solace in that
you know you’re struggling!

I think his major issue lately is that he's actually making too much contact.
Specifically making contact with balls outside the strike zone. In May and June when he was pretty valuable, he put wood on the ball less than 70% of the time when he swung at slop out of the zone. Now that he’s hitting a lot more of those, the quality of contact has gone down tremendously.
Poor Barmes
I guess we have to do the water test…if he floats he’s a bad hitter and possible witch who needs to be burned…if he drowns then he’s a good hitter
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
because bad hitters are made of wood.

A flare to Ibanez.
Ugh. This is rough. This could have been a good statement game….two at bats left to turn it around.

Well
at least we’ll keep Lee from getting double digit strikeouts, small victories will have to do today.
+1

Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
Didn't he implode in game 2
or is my mind playing tricks on me?
He gave up 3 runs in 3 IP
They recognized his filthy stuff despite the tough results

free jhoulys chacin
from the bullpen, that is
oh yeah, that'd be pretty cool to see him start a game

I got to see his start in Tucson

NICE PICKOFF!

Franklin looks like he tries to aim the ball every not and again
But induces the Rollins pop out to Barmes (haha how the tables have turned!)

If he gets another AB it'll be because of a sweet Rockies comeback
Or a crazy offensive inning from Philly. Let’s hope for the former….and that he doesn’t hit a homer in that next AB!
"There are only two important things in life: baseball and breathing. But at least you can survive without breathing for 3 minutes."

finally, a righty...
pinch hit hawpe for spilly and stew for atkins, plz
Nice hit Todd. Nice

proving he can hit a 40+ pitcher
who tops out in the 80s…:)
"What I speak out of my mouth is the truth. It burns like fire."
He left on Tuesday....
"There are only two important things in life: baseball and breathing. But at least you can survive without breathing for 3 minutes."
www.soundclick.com/hollidayrain
he was facing a 46 year old, lefty, who throws 84 mph fastballs.
we aren’t going to see too many more of those this year.
I know that Stewart is hitting under .230, but seriously...
this team needs him in the lineup, with Barmes and Atkins in the same lineup we are doomed.
Check out my website...www.rockiesreview.com
Braves signed Minor (supposed easy sign)
to last year’s slot….and the commish was holding it up…ridiculous
Great point.
Interesting how that coincides with the local articles berating our lineup…

Franklin finally getting comfortable in the bullpen role
This could be a really good thing for us down the stretch.

Nice two innings of work for Frankie.
That’s a definite silver lining on this game.

you don't want to pinch hit Hawpe to lead off the inning...
That’d be a waste.

no, spilly striking out on three pitches is a waste
why save hawpe for a situation that isn’t gonna happen?
Wow. Lidge destroys Spilly on sliders.
"There are only two important things in life: baseball and breathing. But at least you can survive without breathing for 3 minutes."

slightly off point
but does Dexter realize that leadoff hitters usually take until there is one strike at least?
Lidge is having his way with this with that slider...................

We should not lose 3of 4 to NY
A split was expected there. everything esl went kind of how i figured.
Ya, at least we took one from the Phils there.
They’ve been on fire at home since an embarrassing start.

SWEEPING the Reds?
I mean I get 2 out of 3…but a sweep?
we should have at least split with the mets…2 wins…beat the Reds for 2 more. To be the best…you have to beat the best…so 2 wins against Phillies….should be 6-4
BUT….5-5 is passable.
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
Nice hit Hawpe.
Stew time?

Passable road trip.
Still….shut out three times and one-runned another time is abysmal. We need to get home ASAP.
"There are only two important things in life: baseball and breathing. But at least you can survive without breathing for 3 minutes."

hopefully some home cookin' and some rum
and a bucket of fried chicken will wake up the rox bats…
"What I speak out of my mouth is the truth. It burns like fire."
it is very bad
to take Hawpe’s rum. Very bad.
at least it was only a 2.5 hour game
don’t feel like i wasted quite as much of my day
and that's that.
5-5 is not the end of the world. Realistically 6-4 was as good as we were going to do, so not that disappointing overall. But gotta starte taking care of business tomorrow.
AGREED
Time for some home cookin’!!!

I hate the Cubs
I don’t even want to think about going to Coors Field this weekend
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
It's gonna be a crazy environment.
And festive too.

www.soundclick.com/hollidayrain
I've never found
the Cubs games at Coors to be “festive”. Rude, crowded, obnoxious, belligerent, mean drunk…….but not festive
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
Well I mean we all like to go to games at 7:05 and get good seats
but isn’t part of this “contention”/“making enough money to raise payroll” thing selling out the yard?
to be treated like you a Broncos fan in Oakland
while at Coors Field? yeah….fun times (sarcasm)
Start Seth Smith! Free Eric Young Jr.!
I'm attending one of the games against the Mateys next week
I’ll be impressed if there are any Pirates fans willing to show up…
"What I speak out of my mouth is the truth. It burns like fire."
I'll be at Thursday afternoon's game...
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
They said on the radio. It was some play where he had to back up a throw or something.
It was some play where he had to back up a throw or something, and ended up twisting on his foot funny. I don’t remember exactly which play it was.
Sounds like a likely scenario for Rollins' triple and the ensuing errant throw
