PrintCueto had a shaky first while Chacin blew through the Reds lineup the first time around, but since then he hasn't given up more runs and the Reds have scored a couple to make it a 3-2 Rockies lead.

big huge hole in LF and SS

You didn't ask me if it made sense

He said
something like he’s not comfortable in LF, and if they moved him, it would affect his hitting.

BS i say
i played every position against top competition sans P and C
none of them affected my hitting. huge copout.

trade him for Adam Rosales!
I bet Rosy would move anywhere they asked him to.

yeah, in a perfect world, Joey would make the transition
but you don’t ask the face of the franchise to change positions, especially not when they’re playing so damn well at their position as it is. Joey’s off-balance throws have been magical
i dunno
i’d think Yonder gives the Reds a better chance to win than Gomes/Nix in the lineup next year.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Remember, you're a 'murican. If they ignore the parent's living will, sue 'em.
That way, you won’t have to worry about estate apathy ;-)
I have come to the conclusion
that it’s better to let your family know your wishes, than to make out a living will. It’s all just too complicated. A living will can’t cover every eventuality. And sometimes, people change their minds when the time comes.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
why bother?
When they just ignore it anyway, and when I might change my mind when the time comes?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Exactly. My mom is an oncology nurse and they run into this all of the time
It doesn’t matter if you have a living will that states that you are DNR. If the family starts screaming at you to do everything possible to save the patient, the hospital must do what they say no matter what the living will says. It sucks.
Finally, if you will permit me, I'd like to make a comment which in my mind, is indicative, perhaps, of the greater significance of football and sports emphasis in general in this country, and that is, I thank God I was warring on the gridirons of the Midwest and not on the battlefields of Europe.

I sincerely hope Bronson has a burning desire to pitch a complete game against the Rox
Because I don’t think we have a bullpen available.
Finally, if you will permit me, I'd like to make a comment which in my mind, is indicative, perhaps, of the greater significance of football and sports emphasis in general in this country, and that is, I thank God I was warring on the gridirons of the Midwest and not on the battlefields of Europe.

Crumbag
I’d like for BP to sit tomorrow.
Yeah, those guys and the Cincinnati Reds. They're a terrible football team. / Because they're a baseball team? / Exactly. You know who's the worst football team? The Philadelphia Flyers. - Best Show

To any lurking SF fans
(I think that means Victor Frankenstein) if someone besides SD has to win the West I hope it’s you guys. These Rockies have driven me nuts! And their closer is no where near as fun.
we'll get 'em red_poodle
snap this shit tomorrow

I hope Valaika starts tomorrow
BP came off an injury, ease him back in, don’t just throw him to the wolves every night. Same for Cabrera, especially after we got some decent Janish the past month.
I dk about you guys, but I’ve been quite alright with Dusty this season. Unfortunately, I have a funny feeling that will go downhill very soon as he’ll Wily Taveras everybody and guys like Valaika and Janish wont see daylight.
Last night sat down both Rolen and Cabrera, why not sit one one game n the other the next? Rolen wanted to play too, didn’t want to see Francisco get thrown to the Wolves against Ubaldo, but Dusty jus said ’this is MY show damnit! They yankin my chain with a 1 yr extension? Puh-leaseseeee" (my best guess of what he said)
N lets give Votto a day off, not tomorrow, but soon. lets see what Alonso can do in a start. Just don’t sit Votto, Rolen and Cabrera all at once.
Hm, what else can i complain about…
Oh, Stubby, lets get him back to leading off, at least for the time being. He’s doin better as of late.
Rhodes..love the guy but something is wrong. Dont ya think?
i love finding ways to distract me from my homework
How much longer til Dusty's gone?

I'm with ya. We were the best team in baseball in August with SloCab on the bench.
More Janish please. And Valaika is a stud.

Just saw this quote from Tulowitzki
“All you heard for Triple Crown was ‘Votto and Pujols.’ Now CarGo has a realistic shot,” the Rockies’ Troy Tulowitzki said in the Denver Post. "He’s not going to talk about it, but I will.’’
Number 1, it’s great to hear Votto mentioned along with Pujols, but second, I hate that Carlos Gonzalez and his meddling Rockies. if Votto has to lose the triple crown it better be to Pujols not to some guy who can only hit at home (Cowherd’d).
Home vs. Away:
SLG: ..801-.450
AVG. .398-.288
OBP—..440—.310
SO—42—75
I could go on but that is unbelievable The guy is having an incredible season purely by hitting at home. Pujols and Votto are both strong away—Votto is arguably better away. Cargo is obviously good, but it is surprising to se how weak he is away. I remember when he payed at GABP he wasn’t all that great.
It’s too bad we had to play the Rockies at home. Gonzalez is in for a rude akwakening when he faces Carpenter, Wainwright and Garcia at Busch stadium. I don’t want the Cardinals to win that series, but the little pony is going to be getting turned into glue by Carp and company. Nevertheless, it won’t be an easy series for the Cards, but if Gonzalez doesn’t play well it will be much easier than our series. If it weren’t for CarGo we would hve easily won that game yesterday.
I get that those are his home and away splits
but what the hell is causing that? I mean, Coors Field is a hitter’s park, but it can’t be that much of a hitter’s park. Is he totally unable to focus on the road or something?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
We are talking about 70ish games - small sample variability and park effect could cause that.
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the kipper-snacks.
Yeah, but it's definitely strange.
59 starts at home and 61 away. It’s interesting, though: in basically the same number of PAs (275 at home vs. 271 away), he has 22 more hits at home. This equals his 18 additional HR and 4 additional doubles at home. Take those away and he has identical lines home and away except for 13 more walks at home (22 vs. 9).
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I don't know what is causing it
I don’t think we can attribute it all to Coors feld either. Maybe he really does have a proiblem focusing on the road.
Yeah, but park factor for colorado is pretty high.
According to ESPN: 1.403, for HR: 1.476. Even though Carlos Gonzalez has an OPS over .70 above Adrian Gonzalez, Adrian has a 7 point advantage in OPS+ (Petco’s factor is .930) . To me, Carlos’ huge number of home HRs, because of Coors’ league leading HR park factor, strongly indicates that it’s mostly a park effect issue. A lot of batters then hit slightly better at home, regardless of park, and really 60 starts is just not that reliable.
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the kipper-snacks.
I was watching TBS last night
And they kept showing commericals for their playoff coverage. Including footage of Joey Votto hitting. Joey Votto of the Reds! In a commercial for playoff baseball! This is fucking happening, and we are fucking doing it!

I saw that commercial for the first time last Friday and had the same reaction
They’re showing a playoff commercial! And the Reds are in it! Whoo!!!

that is exciting
I’m trying not to get ahead of myself here, because, as I said in the playoff thread, I’m not relaxing until Paul Jnansh is coverewd in champagne, but that is pretty awesome
