Hoping this is a good pitching matchup.

 

I mean, I'm *hoping* we shell Bettis & put up some crooked number. But a good punch-for-punch pitcher matchup would be fun to watch too.

[topper09er]

Another day with Hernan in for Villar.

 

Let's go get Chad "The short bus" Bettis

[adambr2]

Same exact lineup as yesterday.

Hope it produces another W!!

Why has nobody in the media asked Counsell about Villar? It's reached a point that's quite baffling.

[pacopete4]

Media probably has the same bias as some other fans so they’re probably ecstatic he’s riding the pine.

[istanbultaye]

Seems some of the fantasy sites have noticed, but no actual info on reasoning for him to sit 6 out of 7 games.

[TURBO]

If they have completely given up on him, then why waste the roster spot. This seems stupid.

 

If there is something going on behind the scenes, then ok, but otherwise, I don't see why they can't let him play every day until June and see what they have. He should have been starting since opening day so we could evaluate what we have.

 

It's a head scratcher.

CC never gets asked the tough questions. It's frustrating.

This.

 

Sure Villar can be frustrating at times, but overall he still is the ‘best’ 2b option. The only way to get things going for him would be to play every day. If they aren’t going to do that and see if we have 2016 Villar or if we have 2017 Villar then let’s sign some gritty vet or some other Franklin esque putz to waste AB’s on... I digress.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Are the Rockies the only team with Vests for jerseys?

[pacopete4]

[sarcasm]Oh come on Yelich. How do you get doubled off there!?!?[/sarcasm]

[Taylor Blue]

[sarcasm]Oh come on Yelich. How do you get doubled off there!?!?[/sarcasm]

 

I am not so sure that should be in blue. He should've froze until in went through. Yet he was moving forward when it was apparent it was going to be caught.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Woodruff bringing some heat tonight!

[Underachiever]

If Pizza Ranch has a new closer, and according to Craig Coshun, "everybody's getting a piece of him," isn't that a bad thing?

[PinaMadness]

I honestly believe that this Rockies pitching staff wants no part of Aguilar.

[PinaMadness]

And surprisingly Perez is making them pay for that.

[SomewhereInTime]

We have a new starting second baseman!

[adambr2]

I was mildly shocked Pina beat that out.

[JosephC]

Have to admit that I am a big fan of the vests. Worst looking thing on the diamond these days are most team's road uniforms with that awful gray/off-white color. Like the picture of Woodruff in the first post of this thread. Those uniforms are 100% butt-ugly and I can't wait for the day when they go away. People make fun of the colorful uniforms back in the 70s, but I think they are a million times better than the road uniforms of today. Never understood what would be so attractive about having all road teams looking like a bunch of concrete blocks.

[adambr2]

You’re just kind of trolling at this point.

[SomewhereInTime]

Not a bad time through the order, I think the worst AB was Yelich hitting a grounder lol

[adambr2]

Good to see from Arcia!

[adambr2]

That’s more like Manny speed.
