That’s enough, Hinch.  

[Wishbone 4924]

This is no way to make playoff roster consideration. 

[YChang 3531]

McHugh...

[Wishbone 4924]

Get his ass out now.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

McHugh is starting to make a DFA case when arms start coming back soon.   

[UTexasFight 9788]

I guess the whole production crew took the night off. Shitty camera work all night ...

That’s exactly what I was thinking

...and apparently McHugh too

[Mo Horn 8933]

Time to just DFA him

[elfenix 34658]

 

 

[Fudge Nuggets 19407]

Wolters bailed McHugh out on that one.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Pressly, Peacock, and James coming back.  Guys need to be making strong cases just to stay on the roster through September 1st.  

[Wishbone 4924]

Thanks, Blackmon.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Nice sequence.   Not easy to get Chuck Nasty like that.  

[TonyTexas 10683]

McHugh is starting to make a DFA case when arms start coming back soon.   

He still has 1 option available.

[Wishbone 4924]

Alright! He pulled it together nicely! Gruntled. Blouses bitches.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Never a doubt.  

[Wishbone 4924]

Greinke got propped up like a bitch. Hopefully it gets better from here.

[Wishbone 4924]

This lineup is pitcher nirvana.

Can't he refuse it because of service time or something? 

[Mez2 4041]

You think we slide Greinke in behind or ahead of Sanchez in the playoff rotation?

Made one bad pitch.  Got burned by the shift and some shaky D.  He did have command issues at time, though.  Nothing to panic about.  

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Keep racking up W’s

every day greinke pitches is a day someone like urquidy would've started.

that's a win even if he's a little shaky.

It's his first game. Can't expect him to come out there and throw a no hitter like a 3-14 pitcher with a 6.07 ERA. 

Greinke will be fine. He is a proven all star level pitcher. He knows how to pitch. First game jitters are to be expected. 

[runthebone 8322]

Watching his HR again, I realize I am almost taking Yordan for granted.  His power is inhuman, but he is just an unbelievable hitter. 

 

Holy shit.

I was row 5 in that upper section and that ball flew way over our heads. Pre game we were joking about catching a yardon hr. Little did we know that we were way too close to the field.

Colorado knows him as well as anyone. First night out. No panicking. He will accomplish what he came here to do. Just some fun hyperbole in here. He has to be excited about the support behind him. Dis gon be gud.

i love baseball

[rvm96 1643]

Idk if it was mentioned already, but Ryan Pressly pitched 1 inning of 2 strikeout ball while giving up 1 hit for Corpus Christi.

Would we not roll Verlander, Cole, Greinke, Miley with Sanchez in the pen?

No cause Greinke sucks. Team should have never traded for him. Doomed.

Rondon needs to start packing his apt 

[tx 3 putt 78470]

When we get pressley / peacock / James back, this team is about to take a step up in nastiness

which is scary 

[WBT 20884]

No relievers are getting dfa'd.  There will be rehab setbacks from the guys already out and/or mysterious nagging injuries of guys on the active roster to get us through Sept 1.  You want to hang onto all of these guys in case of legitimate injuries in September or in the playoffs.

The mlb app changed them from earned to unearned now

And this morning I look at the box score and the three runs are backed to earned.  After originally ruling it an error on Bregman, they apparently changed Murphy's grounder to leadoff the 6th to a hit, which is bullshit.  Greinke's first start with the team and the official scorer fucks him out of 3 earned runs.

[CycleTex87 3003]

Greinke going in dry on some of these American League hitters in next start.  The change in speeds and ball movement that he commands is wicked.

All of them would get snapped up immediately, possibly by another playoff team

Day game.  Roll call for who's going today besides 3putt..

I like the ABBA start to the lineup.  Money, money, money...

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Springer and Reddick both getting a day off is surprising. Berkman mentioned that Springer looked a little banged up after he took third late in the game. Hopefully that's not why he's out today.  At this point, I think I'd take Jake over Josh anyway.

Springer needs to learn how not to play every play like's it's game 7 of the WS. Like the play he got injured on earlier this season, there was no reason to pursue that foul ball as aggressively as he did. Maybe leaving him in CF all the time would be better for his health.

He did rub his left knee after he slide into third.
