Not wanting to be accused of hyperbole or rose colored glasses, but when you see what Berrios is capable of, and knowing his fitness regime and competitive mentality, don't you still have to think he might be a true #1 in the next couple of years?

I do not get wrapped up in assigning rotation numbers while top players are still prospects. Sure, many prospects have a ceiling of a #5 for a few years. Anyone better than that, though, is often just one pitch refinement away from suddenly jumping into a rotation as a mainstay for years. And someone a little better than that, such as Berrios and a few others in our system, can be an ace. Or a dud. It just depends on what they do with the opportunity.

 

Berrios can be a #1. In my book. It remains to be seen.

Does your local cable provider offer packages involving Rockies and D-Backs games? If so, there's your answer. (I agree, it's arcane and often counterproductive.)

Nope. We only get the Rockies. It's only an issue every three years, but it really sucked this year.

yawn.  routine.

Was he out of the box on that? That's illegal.

Nah, pretty sure he still had a foot in there.

Omg ... sheeeeeeesh! Two gold glovers on our team ...

2/3's of the world is covered by water.  The rest? Byron Buxton.

Leaving the bases loaded festival there in the 4th. 7 left on. I don't like the trend here.

What's scary is that that was almost routine.

 

Edit: for Byron I mean.

Great catch

Awful angle.

Berrios seems a little Leury of this guy.

Just was looking at the screen and noticed Holland's name over Dozier's and chuckled a bit. Those who are fans of sixties and seventies Motown music will remember the names Holland and Dozier as songwriters and producers for groups such as the Supremes, the Jacksons and others.

 

The things that enter my brain at times...

Nice find.

Edit: for Byron I mean.

Me? Routine? What did I do now?

 

Ohhh...you meant Buxton.

Just amazing how you can watch big shots deep, or toward the gap, sort of time it in your head and just say: "yeah, Byron has that."

Didja hear what happened when the semicolon broke all the grammar laws?

Served a suspended sentence?

That's two hard hit outs this inning.

Garver on 3rd.

 

Let's get him in!

Garver stretches a 3-base hit into a triple!

If I had a normal, predictable work schedule I would. But I don't even know my schedule for next week yet. It's kinda hard to know - in advance - if I would be able to do it on a given day. And even if it was a time when I rarely work, the reality of my position as a Kitchen Manager is that I can get called in almost any time.

OMG...OMG...Ive been called out! Where is my blankie?

 

Honestly, really want to jump in. My work schedule...retail...is kind of weird. Think I just got September today. Really want to toss my cap in the ring and take a shot!

We'll take it.

Me?

 

Meh, i like taking what no one else wants...

I edited my original ... take a look ... was trying to tap some first-timers, but any are welcome!

Did we just get greedy?

 

I like being greedy...

Adrianza tries for the Little League home run, runs instead into a Little League out.

You got greedy, ehire

I know Adrianza got thrown out by a mile there.  The bigger story is that Vargas just scored from 1st.

Garver!
