eh, looks like he's done. f***.

Might as well let him come out, hasn't been hardly any stress on his 86 pitches.

Smith finishing strong is quite encouraging. Keep it going.

Colson had adjusted to the adjustments. Very nice indeed.

Feels like this is the first weekday early game in months.

He won't be protected and wont get drafted either he's probably headed overseas or maybe he enjoys living in the US on his AAA salary for a few years. Seems like a fine guy just can't hit enough.

7-9 now to avoid 100 losses.

We need at least 2 more runs, there's no way the pen holds them at 4.

maybe 2-3 guys on our entire staff are capable of locating fastballs to put guys away on any given night. We are a staff of junk ballers by and large, it's been...OK.

Teel is really a throw back player to the 90s and early aughts. High avg, high OBP, middling power at best but a solid defender at a premium position. Used to be a star archetype but in the 3TO era has been almost eliminated.

love a nice quick shut down inning after a crooked number.

Getz actually found two useful vets in Tauchman and Taylor. Decent job.

There we go.

Everybody is gassed gotta fight through it.

Come on guys, finish strong. Some bad ABs so far.

Good, Ramos isn't even a JAG. No standout traits. At least Vargas has shown some ability to be a decent regular.

You just "smooth" the data. It's like when people say "oh you know guys out of the top 100 always pop up as legit talents" -- well yea, but it's not as LIKELY and that's the point. You have to have a critical mass of prospects as individuals will always fail no matter how talented they were at prior levels. The Sox have pretty good depth in the farm overall imo but it's not on the pitching side at the moment.

There just is not a lot to do in Denver proper in summer. It's a very sleepy town from what I saw. Chicagoans have a multitude of things and have a competing franchise obviously. I don't think it's hardcore Rockies fans as much as just the reality of entertainment options in the Denver summer season.

why is a 31 year old nobody with an era of 5 still pitching? We have nobody more promising at any level in the farm?

Yea I tend to agree. He's graded out pretty well as a catcher too. No reason to move a guy down the defensive spectrum who is doing a good job.

Not a huge fan of that quote. But if he wants to work in in a corner OF the offseason would be the time to try it.

genius adding "of the staff" too. Gave yourself just enough wiggle room.

Tendonitus is something that comes and goes for most young athletes. Probably just needs to adjust his training routine a bit. Maybe do some different lower body lifts for awhile.

Not bad.

The amount of degenerate parlays based on HRs this dude has completed the last month certainly makes him a better's favorite.
