I’d move Alvarez to the 6 spot.

Then slide it down.

Also that 1-4

Beezer : 5/27/2023 8:28 pm : link

should be cemented for the season. Unless data off.

Agreed. Vientos needs to move up ahead of Canha too IMO.

rough start thus far for Verlander

spike : 5/27/2023 9:47 pm : link

down 0-4

Gen Zers are just kinda morons at times

Vanzetti : 5/27/2023 10:06 pm : link

Alvarez comes off the bag because he is celebrating and gets tagged out.

vientos 2 x 100+ mph balls again

Eric on Li : 5/27/2023 10:31 pm : link

100.2mph line drive in the first inning,
108.6mph line drive single to cf second time up.

batting behind canha he's had him on base both times too. 3-1 pitch coming to alvarez with 2 on, nice time to make up from the mistake early.

3 hits to the gap in a row for mcneil, alonso, baty

Eric on Li : 5/27/2023 10:51 pm : link

2 on for marte none out. a single for him or canha and its a game again.

Vientos with another hit

KevinBBWC : 5/27/2023 10:57 pm : link

Hitting the ball hard every time. Good thing he never plays.

alvarez up as tying run w/ 2 out

Eric on Li : 5/27/2023 10:57 pm : link

vientos now 2/3 with 3 line drives, 2 over 100 mph. feels like they just need to keep tacking on a lot of time left even though colorado's bp has been good this year.

Tie game

KevinBBWC : 5/27/2023 10:59 pm : link

What a bomb. Alvarez makes up big time.

tie ball after alvarez murders another baseball

Eric on Li : 5/27/2023 11:00 pm : link

he just hit a ball a mile. the kids are going to make mistakes but these 3 are for real. just keep playing them and letting them learn from the mistakes.

Holy Shit, Alvarez!

Dennis : 5/27/2023 11:00 pm : link

3 run HR!
Tie game!

435 feet 103.5 mph on the homer

Eric on Li : 5/27/2023 11:00 pm : link

absolutely destroyed that ball.

vientos and alvarez in the bottom of the lineup has undoubtedly

Eric on Li : 5/27/2023 11:02 pm : link

added a threatening dimension that hasn't existed at any other point in the last 2 years. mistakes turn into big mistakes quickly. would imagine the top of the order is going to start seeing some benefit of not being able to get game-planned around so easily.

Alvarez

GF1080 : 5/27/2023 11:03 pm : link

It's crazy how good he is already. Baty clearly has the talent. Vientos hits the ball hard seemingly 80% of the time. bitchy face buck better not ruin the season.

Dare I say

Vanzetti : 5/27/2023 11:06 pm : link

Piazza-like? Power and a penchant for big homers in big spots.

Also, there is something similar about that eye of the tiger look at the pitcher

Rockies uniforms

are like the Colorado license plate. I kind of like them.

@SteveGelbs
Alvarez, Baty and Vientos are a combined 5-for-9 tonight with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored.

marte clutch single mets lead 7-6

Eric on Li : 5/27/2023 11:25 pm : link

would imagine he'll try to run himself into scoring position here.

Oy Vey!
