Ahh buddy...never lost the faith. Thanks for posting from on the road!

[Millwood1Hitter]

Nice to see Piazza-lite back in the lineup, although I hope we don't lose the mojo we had going with Fredi back there. Some brilliant in game decesions being made behind the plate lately, seems like being a part of the action has allowed him to be more engaged in what is happening on the field.

[nsacpi]

Expecting another multi-hit game from Melvin.

[Nerfherders]

Any reason for the unusual start times for today and tomorrow?

[NinersSBChamps]

Ahh buddy...never lost the faith. Thanks for posting from on the road!

Is it hard to type with his rooster in your mouth? :cooter:

[stpeteirish]

We have absolutely lit up this guy. In 4 career starts vs ATL Nicasio is 0-3 with an OBA of .482.

Yeah it's weakened, but it's it's still far and better than the Braves are.

[thethe]

What an AB for UPton. He looks to FINALLY be turning the corner and being productive again.

[stpeteirish]

if we played half our games in Coors field and they didn't it would look totally different.

Really? Drew Stubbs, LeMahieu, Barnes, and I don't even know Culbertson's first name? Better than the Braves? I've been frustrated with our club, but get real.

[jsebe10]

Another good AB from BJ.

[jsebe10]

Lol. Christ Justin.

[stpeteirish]

Lol. Christ Justin.

some poster are pretty impressed with Justin but that's over the top.

[jsebe10]

some poster are pretty impressed with Justin but that's over the top.

lol Fckn Justin

How's that?

[jsebe10]

Simmons can hit...but he doesn't know how to hit.

[jsebe10]

Can't believe we are being one hit by this butt plug.

[stpeteirish]

Min or sure gives up a lot of HR's.

[NinersSBChamps]

They are better at every position except maybe first base and left field.

[USMA76]

Has Tulowitzki's HR landed yet?

[stpeteirish]

lol Fckn Justin

How's that?

a little more in line with my feelings.

[NinersSBChamps]

Good to know that Minor still gives up homers at a high rate.

[Millwood1Hitter]

Score some damn runs you freakin POS position players, freakin sows couldn't hit a freakin beach ball up there on a tee.

[Lville21]

Minor is roughly giving up a homer every 5 IP so far this year. Last year, it was a home run around every 9.3 IP.

[jsebe10]

This guy vs the Braves before this start....

22 runs in 19 IP
Era over 9.00

[jsebe10]

Justin is money with no one on base. Freaking money.

[USMA76]

Time for a hit that goes about 450 feet Oso.

[NinersSBChamps]

Time for a hit that goes about 450 feet Oso.

Drop the zero and you were pretty close.

[jsebe10]

Drop the zero and you were pretty close.

Nah...

Drop the 5 and he's dead on.

[USMA76]

Drop the zero and you were pretty close.

Not sure it went that far.

[jsebe10]

Another btch ass Rockies' double.

[Fredi Gonzalez]

No Laird no runs. Coincidence? I think not.

[nsacpi]

No Laird no runs. Coincidence? I think not.

When are you gonna put yourself in?

[50PoundHead]

Anyone else watching the mlb channel and see Carlos Gomez' bonehead move. Got thrown out at 3rd for the final out of the inning and was tagged before Braun crossed the plate, negating an easy run.

[50PoundHead]

No Laird no runs. Coincidence? I think not.

I think Laird's job today is setting up the post-game spread.

[jsebe10]

He's safe.

[USMA76]

So will he be ruled out or safe at home? Gattis may have missed the tag.

[50PoundHead]

Looks like Culberson was tagged on the butt. High throw and an easy play from Freeman.

[jsebe10]

Minor should work on keeping the ball down to teams best hitters and he wouldn't have been down 2 runs.

[50PoundHead]

He's going to give up some HRs. Always has. But it's hard for me to complain about him.

[jsebe10]

He's given up a lot this year in his few starts

[mfree80]

Hard to see enough for the overturn there. The biggest problem with replay will be long delays while still getting it wrong.

[jsebe10]

I'll take a healthy Tulo anyday of the week over any SS. Fckn Stud

[Lville21]

Schafer should never see an at bat unless the game is a complete blowout. I'm not sure why he is still on the roster, but since he is, use him for pinch running and late inning defensive replacement only.

Need base runners. I hardly blame him being on the roster as the reason for antics.

[Millwood1Hitter]

Laird wins it in the 9th with a bloop grand slam to the second baseman. believe IT!

[jsebe10]

Lol that was prob the most meaningless sac fly I've ever seem.

[jsebe10]

Need base runners. I hardly blame him being on the roster as the reason for antics.

Well I sure hope he can make any kind of contact with a slider cause Gattis can't.

[stpeteirish]

that was pathetic. Beat us? Just pitch around FF.

[stpeteirish]

Hale hasn't given up a run since being moved to the pen.

[jsebe10]

Hale hasn't given up a run since being moved to the pen.

Neither has Eddie Perez

[jsebe10]

Take your 3 cuts and get out pf the way Simmons.

[jsebe10]

5-8 combined 0 for 15...beautiful.

[stpeteirish]

Take your 3 cuts and get out pf the way Simmons.

CJ Simmons and Pena 0-12

[jsebe10]

CJ Simmons and Pena 0-12

4 Ks

[jsebe10]

CJ Simmons and Pena 0-12

And like I said. Simmons can hit, but he doesn't know how to hit. I'm glad he saves the pitchers runs because he sure as hell can't drive any in.

[gcbraves]

Any team starting Pena every dadgum day is as likely to win a championship as a team starting Uggla. They need to address 2b now instead of later. Idk if La Stella is the answer, but it is time to find out.

[jsebe10]

Hey TheThe , want to wait until Sturg finds another exit to make the GDT tom?
