Rockies (Senzatela) vs Red Sox (Giolito): 7/9/25, 7:10pm

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Better to be lucky than good. The Rockettes are neither.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice relay by all involved.

[vegasbob]

It took awhile but I think Masa just equaled Wong's RBI total

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Masa is a professional hitter. That puts him in an exclusive club in MLB.

Too bad Masa's not a catcher.

Although he is built similarly to Yogi.

I’m still wondering why is Hamilton in this team. It’s beyond me. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I've got nothing against Hammy. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but some team out there must be in dire need of a pinch runner.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder what the Rockies talk about in the clubhouse? The newest PS5 game?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A 21 year old isn't supposed to have such a quiet approach at the plate.

[vegasbob]

2 out, 2 run HRs really help in an otherwise tight game.    Thanks, Wilyer ! Gio should keep the shutout goin g.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Actually, trading Abreu would benefit Abreu. He would most likely play everyday on another team. Not gonna happen under Cora.

Abreau with a tater!!!

Mayer seems to be "still " also, but does he hit anything other than ground balls ?  Needs to work on launch angle, so he can K more in line with Sox hitting philosophy .

We have to take this great streak with a grain of salt. Next three weeks will be a good thermometer and see if this team is for real starting tomorrow. Also, Yoshida and Bregman will be finally available. Gonna be interesting. In the meantime, I’m enjoying it.

You know which hitter didn't have a launch angle?

Albert Pujols.

I only use sea salt. It sounds healthier, but it really isn't.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If I posted anything bad about Gio, I apologize.

However, I will not apologize to the person who built this terrible game thread. Low. bid?

Well, that's the point isn't it?  Wong is actually a good catcher who this season can't hit a lick.  But he might have been useful last night catching Bello's 9 inning, 2 ER effort.

True. Catchers rarely get enough credit when the starter has an exemplary performance.

But I still wish Masa was a catcher.

It just occurred to me that there's no one on the Rockies that I dislike.

Also, until this series started, there was no one on the Rockies that I'd ever heard of.

Why does Campbell keep getting chances? Hes so garbage 

[vegasbob]

Notable that I. Campbell is no better now than before.  This key game is too close to screw around.

Indeed.

He's a small step ahead of bringing in a position player.

[Jasonbay44]

Romy Gonzalez is having a special season 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Romy Empire.

I am sure the 6 game streak and mighty offense is blinding me, but it seems the players are having fun and functioning  or relating in a team mode.  Coincidence it occurs after Devers left ?  Probably or it could be playing teams like the Nats and Rockies.
