If it weren't for the Phillies, I'd be 100% for the Rockies winning the Wild Card. As it is, they're a great alternative and if the Phils can overtake the Mets, more power to the Rockies. Until I moved to Philadelphia (and except for the lovable Expos), the Rockies have been by far my favorite NL franchise since coming into existence.

I was watching the Phillies game last night and for a while i was rooting for them, but in all honesty I really want the Rockies to pull this off and beat out the Padres to make the playoffs.

You and me both... how would you classify yourself politically speaking?

I live in Northern Delaware and hate having the Phillies and Eagles shoved down my throat. I hated the Phillies team I was introduced to in 2000-2002 so I have hated the Phillies since, but the new Phillies are actually decent to watch.

At least as of right now, in the Wild Card race, my allegiance is with the Colorado Rockies.

But, the Phillies dont have to play the Marlins anymore so they may not embarrass themselves in the last game of the season.

:confused: Is it your theory that one's political affiliation affects their support of the Colorado Rockies? What does that question have to do with anything?

If I had gotten an answer so would have you... it has nothing to do with more support for the Rockies as much as it does with pulling against the Padres.... assuming you're not a hard line lefty.. politcially\culturally speaking...

Absolutely ridiculous to bring this up. I'm not going to make this political, but it's silly to think you can pin someone down politically by what team they root for, or vice versa.

Wasn't doing any such thing.. was asking about politcial leaning to see if what the article described would assist in his pulling against the Padres, if not, not problem, was only trying to be helpful. :D

10 in a row now... winthin 1 of wildcard and 2 of Dbacks with 3 games left against the Dbacks. GO ROCKIES!

      It may be just me, but I don't think you have to go to the game threads to find funny. Hell, some of the OP's are funny but then that's just me and my sense of humor.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      Was going to say this afternoon that I would try moving Gunnar back to the leadoff role, just to try to recapture a bit of that magic.  I don’t think there’s a ton of correlation here, but he was at a .942 OPS as a leadoff hitter and only .742 as a #3 hitter. It’s possible that even if it actually means nothing, Gunnar may perceive it as sort of a reset and take a little extra confidence and clearmindedness to the plate.  I think it’s worth a shot. The batting order position doesn’t matter much — unless the player himself happens to believe it matters a lot.

      Mayo coming back up

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 65 | Run: 40 | Arm: 70 | Field: 45  "He moves well for his size, but the potential of him outgrowing third..." https://www.mlb.com/prospects/orioles/coby-mayo-691723 Hit: 45/55, Game Power: 50/60, Raw Power: 60/70, Run: 45/40, Defense: 40/45 "Listed at 6-5, 230 the concern remains whether he will eventually end up too big to play an effective 3B, but for now, he’s shown enough improvements that he can play 3B effectively if a team is going to live with a few more errors then some would like. In his limited play at first base, Mayo took well to the position and looks to be a legitimate option there, though he would waste his plus plus arm.  He’s an average to slightly below average runner so he’s not base clogger, but he will slow with age due to his size. He’s athletic enough and moves well once he get going." https://orioleshangout.com/2023/11/16/orioles-2023-3-prospect-coby-mayo-3b/ I don't think the athleticism is the question. He's a 40-45 runner. That is average to slightly below average. Is he faster or more nimble than Santander or O'Hearn? I don't know. Given the fact that 3B seems to have a very good young player as the incumbent and Mayo appears to have an arm that could be quite a weapon in the OF, can the O's live with a little less foot speed in RF? I think it's worth finding out if he can play there.

      When your offense stinks and you can’t score runs, you do things that you might not do ordinarily.

      Mayo coming back up

      By survivedc · Posted

      Mountcastle had no feel for the outfield. He took terrible routes, showed no knack for playing the ball off the wall and didn’t know which base to throw the ball to. Acting like it was an athleticism thing is disingenuous.

      We have plenty of guys on the injured list. I suppose for me it's a question of whether you want Bowman or Young eligible for the postseason

      Mayo coming back up

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      What does a first baseman have to do that Mayo does poorly? Stretch, catch, including managing awkward throws in the dirt, and what else exactly? Reflexes, throwing quick and accurate are skills for any position. What is unique to 1B that Mayo can’t do? And if he can’t play first, where the job is stand and catch, where CAN he play?
