Where's the love for Wong's play lately? That bases loaded hit to put the game away was happening when he hit .285. Taking that outside pitch to LF instead of trying to hit home run on every swing.
He stays in this grove, he's an All-Star. If he can hit .280 with that defense, I don't know what his WAR would be but, it has to a lot better than what he was in the 1st half. That is the kind of player that would allow us to compete again for a WS. |

It seems and we have no way of knowing for sure, that maybe he took his defense a little more seriously when he was struggling so much offensively. Hopefully if his offense continues to improve he won't regress and lose focus defensively like he had a tendency to do in past years. He has always had this ability, but he hasn't had the run of consistency defensively that he has shown this year. |

I think we missed the bulleye.
Glasnow needed a change of scenery. Honestly, I think Searage is out of tricks. Cole and Morton have looked fabulous with Houston. Baz hurts. That was too much. Meadows and Glasnow were enough. And honestly, losing the young talent didn't cost us the last two games. Silent bats did. |

I don't see anyone getting in the way of Colorado winning the NL - they're so damned good! of course plenty can find a hot enough streak to beat them, but dayuuumm!! That D! That O!

Bader has the looks, the hair and smile to get national commercials if he can become a more consistent hitter.

please don't ambush me here - but I think the Rockies are better than both the Braves and Cards. Hell I think they're better than the D'backs and DOY'ers. No offense for real! they're just so stacked and play superb D.

well the W/C doesn't lay out favorably for them - but I'd be somewhat surprised if they didn't win the West. 1.5 games isn't the end of the world for them - you may be right - i retract my 'dumb' comment. we shall see - that's a super interesting division. Awfully solid, that west.

ive not seen the Rockies play except against us. They looked like shit when we took 3/4 from them. Maybe it was just a bad stretch of games for them?
