    For someone as athletic as Smith is, he has no vertical jump. He needs to be taken out of RF and either put in CF or LF because he has a 1% chance of taking a HR away in RF.

    Cam looked bad on that one. Pretty feeble try.

    He seemed discombobulated which gave him no chance.

    Alexander is a good 4th or 5th pitcher, just a good smart veteran guy.

    We still need Javier, Garcia, or McCullers to come through...just one of them really.....2 would be a bonus and 3...ain't happening.

    He is always discombobulated, especially going backwards.

    After Correa had a fantastic start back with the Astros driving in runs, he's reverted to the empty calorie hitting of one Jake Meyers.

    Coming into today, Correa batting .286 but only 5 RBIs in his last 49 ABs. Has to do much better than that.

    Bunch of "just barely" HRs for both teams.

    Too much bragging on Alexander.

    Well he is batting 2nd.....our bottom of the lineup for the most part has been pretty poor at hitting.

    Got to win this one. It's unacceptable to lose a series against the Rockies right now.

    He's definitely a throwback to Greg Maddux.

    Salazar is a good player, I’m starting to love him. He’s like Dubon, if Doobie batted lefthanded and played catcher.

    3 runs though 5 is perfectly respectable.

    The offense with risp is the real problem. No clutch hitting.
