Why not DH Correa, thats still basically giving him a day off.

Every game counts, i hate to see us with so many holes in the batting order

With Greinke on the mount, you figure it's going to be a low-scoring game. With Yordan and Springer both out, you need someone for a late-inning pinch-hitter role.

Good point.

Agree

Late scratch should've had Correa begging for a DH role

Correa is probably hurt also

Blackmon is so hot right now that when he goes 2 for 5 in a game his average goes down.

Never thought about going to first. Great play.

Bregman needs to swing for the fence

need a big hit from Tucker right here

next time

"I didn't see what you put down. "

I love Greinke.

<13 pitches an inning for ZG. Still 1 more batter before the flip to the 3rd time through.

Jose might as well have his eyes closed up there

Maybe he does. Yuli did at one point

And he Padres just hit another grand slam on Arlington. Baseball gods at it again.

Will Jose end the season hitting above .200?

Hard to watch Jose just flail. So out of sorts. He needs a Beltran tip ("look at the ball with both eyes, Yuli").

My guess is between .225 and .250

He would have to hit at a .300 clip the rest of the season to hit close to .250

I keep waiting for him to break out of the slump but 23 games is a lot

At the current rate of ABs this season, he's at 93 through 22 games played (he had one game off). Let's assume he plays 57, since dusty will likely give him another game or two off

He would get about 240 at bats that count for stats at this rate , not plate appearances. So he needs 60 hits this season finish the season at .250 ... he is currently at 16. So I think closer to .225 is likely in that scenario like you said.

To hit .250, he needs 44 hits in 35 games, which is doable for sure. But it's getting harder to dig out of the whole since he is pressing so hard.

Bonus of no fans is hearing the coaches and umps arguing

For him I think it's just having one good game and building from there...he's waiting for it to happen as much as we all are.

Rockies bench getting a bit mouthy.

as we approach the midway point of the season...the math is getting easier on the slumping hitters

I think he's trying to force it to happen, though

great work from Greinke

what for? Cant watch?

let's see if Super Jack can get things started...

Super Jack was not interested

Super Jack gonna end up in the KBO

The guys on 790 earlier said "why don't guys like Mayfield get scratched last minute, it's always the key guys"

Not going to lie I thought that would be a nice change of pace. It's always our star players getting hurt

all right, base knock for Straw.

must steal situation right here

Straw with an 8 pitch AB and a single!
