    He looked like Audie Murphy without the beard.
    A standout, true American hero.
    Now, with the growth, he looks like every/any other smuck out there.
    It's known as reverse Delilah syndrome.

    Yeah, but 30 man roster, they are still definitely manipulating the service time

    If he would have been in camp earlier, and was raking while playing solid D, he would make the squad no doubt. He just suck right now

    When that turd walks to the box... I walk to the fridge for another brew.
    Come to think of it, he’s also a piss break player...

    I feel like I would be just as good as Pollock. I’m not saying I would be better, I wouldn’t. But just as good? Why not.

    It is a service time thing. No doubt. 30 man roster and a DH. They are going to carry a dedicated runner. Dick move and I approve.

    Guess he just had to book it by car from Colorado to get there in time for the game. He still has a bit to prove, but he probably should get a pass for last night.

    Not with the way the other guys have been looking. Sure it is a 30 man roster, but most of those spots are rightfully going to the pitching staff in the early going. If a dude with options is struggling in August and you are in midst of a playoff race, you aren't bringing him up to ride the pine over hitters that may be more impactful. The club already has bench spots for Taylor/Hernandez, Barnes, Rios(who has been shitting on the ball), Beaty and Gore since if you're gonna do that stupid 2nd base thing, might as well have an 80 runner. In the end, there was just not room for him on the roster of a team currently in the playoff hunt.

    I don't disagree with that sentiment, but I have a wait and see approach with former Rockies. It was always that the pitchers careers were ruined here and the hitters #'s were inflated, but the recency bias is that just getting away from that franchise seems to be good for you whether you are a pitcher or a hitter. The Rockies are considered one of least forward thinking clubs in the sport and there is a feeling throughout baseball that they under utilize their assets and under prepare them to boot. The Dodgers think the big issue with McGee was his sequencing, so it will be interesting to see what they do here since they really do not have great options in the pen from the left side.

    Summer camp has been fun. Offense looks unreal. Starters look good enough. Relievers have that usual combo of exciting enough stuff to get outs combined with skepticism on how some of the back end can do with constant high leverage situations. Plenty of depth. Think I’m officially excited and really want to steam roll everyone. We got Mookie, our team is deep, fuck everyone else

    Main concern is bullpen as always, injuries (stay disciplined with the bug ya fucks!), and just need 2 of Taylor, Enrique, pollock, and Lux to be good.

    Normally yeah, but like there is no minor league ball going on this year. How is he supposed to break the slump?
