Rockies are 4-12 in their last 16 games and have lost their last 8 at home.

[Edgy MD]

The Rox have also nicely used up a surfeit of pitching strength, struggling through a slugfest of a series in Texas. Yesterday, six twirlers took the mound, culminating in a disastrous showing by closer Wade Davis getting all of one out while giving up four walks, two hits, and four guns, and ultimately the game in the ninth, as the Rox lost, 13-12.

[Ceetar]

The Rockies can not score runs. Take advantage of Coors and smash 'em up. This is a bad team/offense.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I choose "stand"

[Fman99]

The 8:40 start means I am not likely to witness the full 9 innings. Because I'm old and sleepy.

[Lefty Specialist]

With our luck, they'll score five runs and deGrom will give up six.

Nimmo LF
Cabrera 2B
Frazier 3B
Flores 1B
Conforto CF
Mesoraco C

Bruce a late scratch for hip soreness.

Big move for the Nationals. Maybe someone will get DFA'd so Sandy can respond.

[Benjamin Grimm]

He should trade Familia.

Lol

Oh darling wait til you’re my age

When was the last time a Met hit an inside-the-park HR? Why tonight, of course.

My Nimmo man crush only grows. My next pet is going to be named Nimmo. Heck, I'm going to buy a pet tomorrow just I can name it Nimmo.

Booth is interviewing Nimmo's dad, who is just as cool. What a nice story. Humble. Appreciative.

A fish would be perfect (finding nimmo...)

Since I'm allergic to dogs and we already have a cat -- named Tug -- I think I'm pretty limited to a fish. Plus, they're pretty inexpensive.

[Fman99]

Nice glove work there by Ass Dribble.

[Guest 41Forever]

Ha! Wilmer has to actually hit it over the fence to get a home run!


WILMER-Kaboom!

[Edgy MD]

How terrific a fielder is Arrenado?

[Edgy MD]

Holy shit, Arrenado. He should have to play without a glove to make it fair for everybody else.

[Guest 41Forever]

Willmer got some leather, too!

[Edgy MD]

Would it have been dirty pool if Rosario went for a takeout slide on Arrenado's double play?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

After a long at bat, Cabrera hits it to the worst possible place (Arenado) who turns it into a double play.

I believe that would have been rather Utleyan.

Kelvin Herrera dealt to the Nats for three players including Kelvin Gutierrez.
At least we know they'll be some positive readings from that deal.

[Edgy MD]

Hang in there, Tony Randazzo.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

we need Rosie to come thru here

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

that didn't happen

[Edgy MD]

Forget Seaver. Let's build a Nimmo statue.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

gulp

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Forget cloning Harvey.* Get to work cloning Nimmo!
