Murton with a bomb !! Couple more of those, and we're right back in this thing, eh?

 

You drinkin' tonight Fred? ;)

I just got in. dare I ask why Guzman sucked so bad tonite?

 

I won't break down Guzman here (I think it was mostly location, but I'll leave that to people who watched him closer-I was slightly distracted the first couple innings), but I will tell you the Rockies deserved all their runs. Those weren't bloops and dunks-they hit him all over the yard and hit pretty much every hit very hard until they pulled him.

Wasn't a good outing. There was a troubling inconsistency in his velocity (or in the radar gun -- hard to tell). He didn't mix his pitches very well (for whatever reason) and he missed a lot with his location.

 

It's Z + a rookie rotation now. It's going to be really inconsistent -- good, bad and ugly outings. Keep marching him out but keep a careful eye on him. Up until this season, Prior has been an Iron Man compared to Guzman.

That's Norwegian for Oy Vay, no?

I didn't see the first 2 innings, only caught them on the radio. According to Pat & Ron, he was throwing nealy all fast balls, and with little or no movement on them. He was getting hit hard.

To bad "our" management isn't smart enough to keep him.

 

Murton

New CF with above .350 OBP

New RF with 40+ HR a year.

 

That would be the proper way to assemble our OF next year I think. But we'll keep Jones, overpay Pierre (even though I like the guy, he should be gone). And replace Murton with someone who hits alot of HR and that's it.
