C. Kelly has been crushing it. Yet he's on the bench.

Maybe cause Torey set the line up last month and he's not changing it.

Looks like Grey is being pushed back and Hoffman will get the start for Colorado.

C. Kelly has been crushing it. Yet he's on the bench.

Maybe cause Torey set the line up last month and he's not changing it.

Right, because he knew he would have Rojas a month ago...C Kelly is getting 2/3 of the starts. Don't expect that to change.

 

[BC867]

I am very glad to see that Rojas is getting the chance that Cron
never did. Starting back-to-back games.

Part of it is circumstance, that Rojas plays six different positions.

Nevertheless, I can't help but feel that Cron would have won us
more games than Walker or Lamb with his power at 1B, and lifted
us above the .500 rut if he had been given the chance.

That being said, I will try to accept the inevitable that, as long as
we have our current Manager, the starting lineups will be a
merry-go-round of faces from game to game.

 

[BC867]

Dyson with a leadoff HR.

And Walker drives in Marte, who walked, with a 2-run HR.

Still only one out. And Lamb with a base hit.

Rojas, who just missed a HR in his first AB yesterday,
flies out to LF.

Ahmed's 2-run HR makes 5-0. Three HR's.

If it's Tuesday, it must be Colorado.

 

[Dback Jon]

Walker seems to be ok

 

[thirty-two]

Damn, Dbacks crushing it so far

 

[Dback Jon]

Ahmed!

Gallen looks so nerdy with his glasses - love it

 

[thirty-two]

These uniforms are my favorite. Love the gray and teal.

 

[BC867]

For these past six games, Kelly has started four out of six
games at Catcher.

Kelly/Kelly/Avila/Kelly/Kelly/Avila (today).

I'd still rather see Kelly starting more than 2 out of every
3. Such as 3 out of every 4 or even 4 out of every 5.

Especially considering Avila's .231 batting average (tied
with Lamb). We should not have to settle for .231.

[BC867]

And in the bottom of the 1st, the Rockies scored one
and the bases are left loaded.

33 pitches for Hoffman and 29 for Gallen.

 

[Dback Jon]

The two Kelly, one Avila has been like that for several weeks now.

 

[Dback Jon]

Ang again, almost no one does 4 of 5. Especially not a rookie.

 

[Shaggy]

Peralta with a 2 run HR!

7-1 Good guys.

 

[AZCB34]

Gallen looks so nerdy with his glasses - love it

Is he considered an unaccompanied minor on the team flights?

 

[Dback Jon]

Is he considered an unaccompanied minor on the team flights?

With a single and a run!

 

[BC867]

Runners on 2nd & 3rd for the Rockies in the 2nd.

Arenado grounds out to end the inning.

 

[BC867]

New pitcher for the Rockies in the 3rd to replace
the one just called up for the game.

Bert just said there is a strong wind blowing out
to LF.

 

[AZ Native]

Nick triples

 

[AZ Native]

Gallen needs a 1-2-3.

 

[AZ Native]

1 out but 60 pitches in the 3rd
