The Rockies 3Bman tried to sandbag/decoy Mounty on that hit. The collision he caused could have injured Mounty.  I did not like that play. 

I don't think he knew that it was a homer and that he thought the ball was in play.

If your phone auto-corrects one single word in an entire post, it will be the one that makes said post as embarrassing as possible.  Law of the universe.

Ben keeps calling our pitcher Cole "Irving". Lol

I've never met a Rockies fan. Ever.

[Moose Milligan]

Cole Irvin is dealing.

I met a bunch when I was stuck in Denver while taking the train from NY to Seattle when I was young. We had a train issue in Denver and had 6 hours there so I went to a Rockies game, Hideo Nomo threw a no-hitter. What a cool stadium. It did light drizzle that game.

Imagine having 4 guys in your starting lineup with less than .700 OPS despite playing half your games in Coors Field.

I want a laugher...but I'll take a nail biter win..too..

I was in the army with a guy who when he got out worked in the Rockies front office doing whatever.  He roots for the Rockies now.   Other than that I have not met one.  He used to commiserate with me over how bad our teams were.  The Rockies are usually suck like the Orioles.  He roots for the Orioles because of me and he liked Adam Jones.

Over his last 45 innings, dating back to June 10th, Cole Irvin's ERA is a tidy 3.00.  

I'm not saying he's a playoff starter behind Bradish and G-Rod but you could make a case if he keeps this up.  I know he doesn't have the raw, dominant stuff that others have but a 3.00 ERA is a 3.00 ERA.

Westy gets it started.

He just knows how to pitch, also. He's not overpowering, but when he's throwing strikes he can get anyone out.

[Gurgi]

No never pitch Santander.  Might end up like Canseco and hurt his arm.

Don't like bunting there with Mateo coming up.

[Hallas]

Man McKenna made that sac bunt close.
