Rockies look fantastic. They may finally be ready to make some noise. Blackmon has been the Avi of the NL.

Their pitching is really impressive this year. Probably the best pitching staff they've ever had.

Arrieta can forget that long term contract extension...

He won't get the 7 year contract he wanted, but if Samardzija can get 5/90 after the year he had with us someone will give him a nice payday.

What a zany genius Maddon is! Batting Rizzo leadoff = immediate HR.

edit: Ooh, bases loaded walk as well.

The team is hitting so poorly, JM can't really do anything wrong. If they were all hitting, I would do some deeper analytics (bat Bryant like 4th or 5th, Rizzo 3rd or 4th) but their best power guys are their best OBP guys.

What is happening this season with the Cubs is pretty much what I expected to happen last year to them and vice versa. Part of development is going through serious struggles and periods of over coming doubt. Every damn thing went right for them last year. Every single thing. They skipped the development periods but it finally caught up with them.
