Both Moncada and Vaughn would not take a walk swinging at several balls. It is a good idea at Coors to take walks if they are offered, and have home run opportunities with men on.

3 walks in 2 innings is bad. Normally at Coors is a formula for defeat. We have dodged a bullet so far.

Grandal couldn’t score from first with the double to the wall and with 2 outs. He was just jogging pretty much starting with no secondary lead. Pretty awful, neededeithera triple or HR to score him.

Do you think Vaughn and Abreu would have scored?

Could have been worse. Not resting any of our better healthy players.

Vaughn’s live shots look almost the same as the slow motion replays.

Yes, we will probably end with two relievers and no lefty outfielder.

Wishful thinking of the day: would the Cubs take Leury, Engel, and Sheets for Happ, and we will throw in TLR for free?

Hope you are right about the wins. Not sure about Tony waking up, there is less oxygen in Denver and he needs more sleep.

Fortunately, you were wrong Boston beats Cleveland 3-1. Not easy to win as visitor at Fenway. Guardians didn’t play a good game, sloppy D, misplayed balls off the Monster.

A good everyday lefty outfielder is the most important need by far.

They hit more homers last year. Homers are key to winning at home and not giving away our homer friendly home advantage to the opposition.

Or at least change it to the Tribe.

Is Miguel Cairo still alive? He is like a ghost.

His D today has been his worse of the season.

This game proved once again that when we hit homers particularly at GRF we normally win. BTW maybe the stadium name should be changed to GHRF, guaranteed high rate field, in view of higher mortgage interest rates nowadays.

Cal Ripken Jr would not have approved of TLR ball either.

Isn’t Stoney from Cleveland? Maybe he has some contacts within the Guardians. BTW, I hate that moniker Guardians, Indians sounded much better but succumbed to the PC crowd, which now has its sights on theBlackhawks as well.

Isn’t this one reason why the best players get paid the big bucks? Certainly, not to grab some bench often.

TLR ball. Save some legs for the playoffs that may not come. Putting the cart before the horse.

Must be one of his unwritten rules.

It’s Sunday. All Sunday lineups need to include Leury to qualify.

We could have had Joc Pederson and his LH big homer bat for $6M like the Giants did, but we end up with Pollock instead and no LH outfielder. We also didn’t sign Rodon our only left handed starter and gave big money to Lynn another aging RH pitcher.

TLR thinks he is too smart to just go with no brainers. He’ll find a reason to screw it up,

“I don’t often win games but when I do I had a few XX”. The most interesting bad manager in the world.
