[Slateman]

Would Metro stay open for a special event ?

Harper has some work to do if he's going to catch Hondo before leaving for the Yankees....   

[welch]

So: have we learned enough about Fedde?

I've learned he looks like the guy in front of you at the gas station buying 30 pounds of nightcrawlers and a 30 rack of Busch. I don't know why but the name Fedde made me think he was black.

Fedde's dead  ....  wanna be a junkie why  ....   Curtis Mayfield

If a hack like me can steal these signs then the Rockies ought to consider changing them up.

Hanigan/Wolters use a wristband for signs too ha. Really hoping Lucroy is heading to Denver tonight/tomorrow

But these clowns don't play at Cooperstown.

I hate to draw any definitive conclusions from one start but the offspeed just isn't ready.  I mentioned earlier that his change looked like it was coming from a different arm slot than the fastball.  If he can't correct simple mechanical issues like that, his big league future may be in the bullpen.  If he can correct that, his stuff plays.  He definitely doesn't look ready now though.

We'll remember him as "Cy Young" after EJ this evening.

It might help to have a hitter who makes all other ballplayers look like Little Leaguers. Some one like Judge or maybe this guy who might have played power forward in the NBA:

Didn't he play for the Dodgers?

Adrian Sanchez has had more tough luck outs like that than anyone else I can remember on this team all year and he's only been here a month.

Why not pitch Fedde Yesterday, when he has less opportunity to make the pen do long work on a doubleheader day

That would require a manager to manage.

Nats pitcher on Thursday is T. Beay...

Tough assignment for Grace...the Rockies can hit...

EJ's the man.    He'll shut 'em down.

[mimontero88]

Thing about EJ is that's actually entirely possible.  Inconsistency works both ways.  Now, would I bet on it?  Hell no.

[mitlen]

Bob almost spilled the beans.

[tzinc]

all this does is lower Fedde's trade value

How?
