Non-expansion record...then.

They waited until he had a GW hit in AAA...favorable hitting environment against the Rockies (headed for one of the worst seasons in history) and then three RH pitchers, including young Dollander who has been scuffling. Not sure what else they could do. Probably thought he could be overwhelmed in that racuous LA environment against Kershaw. https://www.mlb.com/rockies/roster/probable-pitchers

So patient and just make every opposing pitcher work so hard...it's relentless when Muncy is in the lineup and white hot.

At least they helped Conforto get back up over a 600 ops. Almost felt inevitable after 9th inning collapse last night.

Meidroth feeling the Colson footsteps lol. Do we still have Capra to pitch late?

Thank god they didn't sign Conforto a couple of years ago.

1/30 Capra-esque

Sosa made two outs there...

Fortunately Lawrence KS properties are not SoCal priced.

This game seems almost a sure bet for LA.

Noda is the new Capra. Or Capra's the new Amaya. Rojas sucks too. Generally hopeless bottom of the lineup.

Meidroth has hit a wall. That didn't last long. Blown away by gas Tauchman and Beni.

Starting to remind me of Joe Borchard...albeit not much in common beyond left-handedness, polite/respectful personalities and then all the prospect hype.

Wish they would have cleared out some of the (outfield) vets so guys like Baldwin Colson and Quero/Teel can get more consistent/regular playing time. And still really don't know what they have with Vargas and Sosa moving forward.

None of those guys listed are really legit prospects...other than Braden, who has hit his own wall after missing a lot of development time last year. Bergolla MIGHT be a utility guy in the big leagues.

Lots of talk about runaway concessions prices (free food included at home park in Georgia for $35 tickets with precisely timed two hours games) comparatively across the four major sports. And there's former legendary Sox player Matt Skole as well. MLB statistics Batting average .217 Home runs 1 Runs batted in 7

Plus very experienced in NL Central...

Sosa can't be a legit 1B without a 775-825 ops. That's just not him, statistically.

A lot more at stake with massive contracts and insurance/risk mitigation. Once upon a time 60-65% of the players had off season jobs.

JUan SotO?

Bases loaded no outs you just don't escape that against the Dodgers on the road.

As soon as TaYlor came out of the game the result was practically guaranteed.

Completely predictable...
