Why would the Rockies not give him a shot?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:44 PM) Surrounding Jose with Ramirez, Dunn and Viciedo is like parking your BMW 5 series outside your single wide at the trailer park. Against RHP, I would have Dunn bat 2nd. He can still get on base for Abreu, he doesn't hit into a lot of double plays, and maybe he can take advantage of a lack of shift if Eaton is on.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 06:38 PM) I honestly think he has blinders on at times mentally. He does stupid s*** like this too often for it to be a conscious thing. He needs to "unlearn" diving into 1st and running into walls. Yep, let's hope he does before he suffers a major injury.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) jesus christ, this team is falling apart. They have come out flat as can be far too often of late.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:28 PM) Dunn swings under so many crushable fastballs. Dude's just old, the apendix problem really did him no favors seemed to have aged him more quickly. I don't buy it as an excuse this many years after the fact.

It is funny though that it took Baez one game to hit more opposite field home runs than Barney and Theriot did in their careers.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 05:48 AM) Guess who just hit a go-ahead hr in the 12th for his first major league hit. Off our old friend Boone Logan

Well, 0-5 with 3 K and then he crushed a homer....sounds about right

QUOTE (lord chas @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 04:02 AM) Bullpen has hit rock bottom I would say the 4 inning, 15 run effort on Sunday was rock bottom

I can't believe they might get shut out by Lewis. Wow, go get em Sale

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 04:00 AM) Dunn should do a curtain call Throws 5mph slower than Erik Johnson

Well, 14 straight relievers

I hope Dunn doesn't have a games finished clause

The defense has let Dunn down all year

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 03:47 AM) Or the second time in 3 games Is this pen worse than 2007?

13 relievers have given up a run since Petricka closed out the game on the 31st without allowing a run after going 1 inning

How many straight relievers have failed to get at least 3 outs without giving up a run? This is amazing

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 03:24 AM) Don't be ridiculous re: job security. I am legitimately worried about his health because he's never had the appearance of a healthy man and has had a few different health issues in the past I don't think he has done a good job the last two years. With that said, I know he has job security here. And yes, health is a priority.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 03:23 AM) The interesting thing is that the meltdown started right after he left the team. True, but this team was leading the world in walks before he left.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 02:21 AM) This is the worst pitching staff I have ever seen. Cooper should be on the hot seat, but more importantly, hopefully he gets his health under control

Back to AAA for Rienzo. What a joke of pitching corps outside of Sale, Q and Petricka

No reason for Abreu to be out there still

I would rather see Leury pitch

And Texas came close to a few other HR as well. There's no way you can go into next season with Noesi as your #3, and I'm confident Hahn knows this.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:37 AM) Aaron Boone was a decent comp here, perhaps. .850 OPS, 22 HR in AAA, then gets a cup of tea in MLB. The next year he posts a .680 OPS in AAA Good stuff, thanks
