Rivera has played well in the time he has got here. Its ok to think hes a AAAA but if he is in the middle of a good run then play him. Its not like the offense is doing much anyway and he is supposed to have a good glove at 3b


The only reason that Holliday is playing against a lefty is because Mountcastle is unavailable. You'll see Rivera at third and Urias at short more once he comes back. Holiday has looked especially overmatched against lefties.

You have to bring a glove to an up the middle position. Figure something else out. Use the other uti guy we have on the bench instead

Why would he not be hustling on that play. He has no speed.


He needs to hit some homers if that's as well as he can run. You can't have an offensive profile like Rich Dauer circa 1978 and be that slow in MLB in 2024.

THAT is a Coors Field home run

Should have been a three-run homer.

I mean if you wanna say Eloy should go cuz he’s slow..whatever.

But I don’t think he goes out there a just dogs it on the bases. Particularly last inning. The man is a professional.

I think using Soto at second (switch hitter) is a good idea. Use the guy already.

I can see that logic.

Another out on the bases. This isn’t fun

This team specializes in fucking up above all else. I’m so beyond sick of all the unforced errors. Careless, mindless baseball. It’s disrespectful.

But the sloppiness doesnt just go away because you play a horrible Rockies team. Its cost us at least 1 run on defense anf at least 1 run on offense. Probably more. Should be up 3 at min right now

Eloy is slow as molasses. Dogging it on that, probably not. But hesitating and slowing down, then speeding up too late... just horrendous base running. You don't have to be intentionally loafing to be bad. He just did it naturally.
