Eric Sogard is crushing the ball at Colorado Springs to the tune of an .567 OPS.

I wish Arcia would show as much enthusiasm for hitting as he does for his post game celebration.
Fun game to watch.

Not quite Rob Deer 1987 Easter game or Braun HR against the Cubs in late 2008 but damn close.
Great way to start the series
Honestly, I don't really care if Hernan doesn't get any starts anymore. Just play Arcia.
Guys take up right where they left off last night. A 6 run 1st inning, featuring a Grand Slam by Shaw after an rbi single by Braun and then back to back with a Perez homer too. Braun adds a homer in the 3rd to make it 7-0.
Another "fine" outing by Fat Albers. Gives up a 2 run homer in the 9th. Might as well use Kratz, he pitches better.
If I were Matt Albers and was on the backside of my career, but still able to command $1M+ per season, I think I might consider working out during the off season. Maybe get myself a nutritionist.
That has to end any sort of hope for using Albers again unless you're already in a blowout and on the wrong end of that blow out. This team is in a pennant race and can't afford to be hoping Albers can regain what he had early this year. I don't know whether he can go to the minors or not, but that's where he belongs. He took an 8-2 cushion and gave the Rockies hope that they never should have had.
They were darn lucky it didn't cost them this game. They cannot make that mistake again this year if they want to have any hope for making the playoffs.
Thanks for dissing Hernan EKB> Can you restate another reason he should be kicked off the team? MVP!!
Was following the bottom of the 9th online. It seems to have been a huge gaffe by Counsell not to pinch run for Kratz. Arcia doubles and Braun scores from second, but Kratz can't score from first. The next batter strikes out to end the game. Why wouldn't you pinch run in that situation?
Scope trade was so people would appreciate Villar more
Bang bang play at first missing Story plates a run for Rocks or this is another come from behind already! Let's finish this!

I don’t think Yelich would have scored from first

Thanks. Sounds like it wasn't a typical double where a guy with decent speed scores from first.
Why do guys still dive into first base?
No playoff baseball games on Sunday right?

Also there was no one left to pinch run except a pitcher or Pina. He was saving Perez to pinch hit for Burnes, there was no other non pitcher left except Pina.
Also the Brewers claimed Jordan Lyles off waivers from San Deigo. I hope this means the end of Albers when he is activated Tuesday or Wed.
