2013-04-03 Rockies (Nicasio) at Brewers (Peralta), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-3]

[brwrsfan]

I just can't fathom how this is our master plan at 1b for the next 6 weeks. Two guys that can't find starting gigs anywhere as SS, let's get them both and play them at first, without any experience there. That's better than trying to let Davis learn or letting Morris try? Could he really be any worse? At least Morris IS an actual first baseman.

[The stache]

Betancourt is at 1B. And NOT Jesus H. Khrys Davis? Brilliant.

 

How can Davis be any more inexperienced there, than Gonzalez and Betancourt? What's the harm? I hear some people say this Davis character can even hit.

 

Because Gonzalez spent much of spring training playing first base, and the coaches decided he looked the best at the position.

[xisxisxis]

I haven't seen a 96 mph fastball with less movement since Parra was throwing meatballs up to the plate....

[Fear The Chorizo]

Davis must not be able to field a ground ball, because it makes too much sense for him to play 1B longterm for the Brewers. If he had any capability to do so at all, he'd be playing there.

 

Judging by how willing the Brewers have been to allow players that can hit to be terrible at defensive positions in the past, I shudder to think of how brutal the infield session with Davis must have been during the offseason or on one of the back fields during spring training.

[The stache]

Come on offense, wake up for God's sake. These aren't the San Francisco Giants we're facing here.

[rluzinski]

Bill just wishes there was a way to try and estimate how many runs good defense saves.

I chuckled at that as well.

[Dollarbill13]

I'm cheering for a Segura injury so Khris Davis can get a shot at SS

[topper09er]

Rockies collecting the infield hits this series, Brewers collecting the infield flys, and Yuni hasnt even come up yet today.

[The stache]

I don't think Todd Helton is a Hall of Famer, Rock. At Coors Field, he's a lifetime .350 hitter with a 1.060 OPS. Anywhere else, he's a lifetime .289 hitter with an .864 OPS.

 

.613 SLG at Coors.

.475 SLG everywhere else.

 

Clearly a huge beneficiary of his home ballpark. His splits are terrible.

[xisxisxis]

Q: Rock, if brain transplants were possible would you be a recipient or a donor?

 

A: Brain transplants aren't possible?

[Ennder]

Also to the guy calling the Rockies last place rejects... With Tulo and CarGo they have been a well above .500 team, it is only when those guys get hurt that they tend to collapse.

[brewmann04]

After the first 3 pitcjhing outing glad they pick up Loshe

[GenoSeligPrieb]

By the way, it may have been said before here, but Sophia Minnaert is a MAJOR upgrade over Trenni Kusnierek. She's been more fun to watch than the Crew these last 2 games.

 

When she just said "aggressive re-sodding", I was kind of...not "aroused", but...interested.

[trwi7]

Glad Sophia is telling us about changing the dirt to grass on the walk from the on deck circle. That's the kind of hard hitting analysis I not only want to know but need to know.

[topper09er]

I thought Trenni was pretty good. Of course anyone is an upgrade over Telly

[GenoSeligPrieb]

"Also to the guy calling the Rockies last place rejects"

 

It's OK to call me out by name, Ennder. It's what you live for.

 

Can't I freakin' vent about losing to these clowns without you jumping on me? Jeez...

Actually I didn't want to search for who said it.

 

Infield hit #9 for the series? Nm they called it an error.

[The stache]

I can't remember the last time I looked up and the Rockies didn't have somebody on.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

How about Aramis at 1B, and Alex Gonzalez at 3B? Or at least play Aramis deeper at 3rd!

 

I'm kidding, I'm kidding...

[topper09er]

EYJR is picking on Ramirez tonight

[MVP2110]

thats a tough error. I mean i know it hit his glove and everything cmon.

[xisxisxis]

I imagine there's a contingent of Rockies fans who wonder "we should have swept these clowns...."

[The stache]

Can't really blame Ramirez on that. I think he was shocked the ball coming to him had enough juice to make it out of the infield.
