I've noticed a couple good stops on pitches in the dirt.

Another One. Think we're going to be OK at catcher for the next few years. All due respect to Giminez

I'm sure there's some nerd stat to obliterate what I said, but I stand by it. He's saved lots of runs and big innings (and low throws) all year.

It is such a welcome, if unfamiliar, feeling to have a pitcher who can rare back for a little something extra when in a tight spot.

Smalley does love to talk...as do I so maybe that's why I like him, lol...but he is smart in what he says. He breaks things down really well, IMO

I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's about a 5-6 hour drive from Denver and a 7-8 hour drive to Phoenix. We get the Rockies games as part of our Direct TV package. However, MLB.TV considers us to be part of both the Rockies and Diamondbacks territory. So I was unable to watch any of the series against the D-Backs, which happened to be probably the most entertaining series of the year. These blackout rules make absolutely no sense.

Does your local cable provider offer packages involving Rockies and D-Backs games? If so, there's your answer. (I agree, it's arcane and often counterproductive.)

Not wanting to be accused of hyperbole or rose colored glasses, but when you see what Berrios is capable of, and knowing his fitness regime and competitive mentality, don't you still have to think he might be a true #1 in the next couple of years?

Also, I think my pregnant, 2 days overdue wife, could beat Vargas in a footrace.

 

If they raced, Vargas would finish 3rd.

Mauer has been nothing short of fantastic on defense this year.

 

But I bet if you showed Joe your comment, he'd say, "don't embarrass me with that kind of comparison." :)

Just was looking at the screen and noticed Holland's name over Dozier's and chuckled a bit. Those who are fans of sixties and seventies Motown music will remember the names Holland and Dozier as songwriters and producers for groups such as the Supremes, the Jacksons and others.

 

The things that enter my brain at times...

Then Kennys better be extra cautious if hiking in bear country with your family.

Ah.... so fitness (and therefore appropriate weight) are important. I certainly hope so. Berrios is possessed and driven, and his actions speak louder than words.
