Matt Kemp’s OPS in 2012: 1.382.
Matt Kemp’s career OPS at Coors Field: 1.285.
Clearly, he’s headed for a slump over the next three games.

What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

Here’s to Kemp and Loney breaking out and having a great series…As you all know this is Loney’s home away from home.
It will be nice to beat Colorado in 2 sports in 2 days

If Sellers ever gets on base, I would have Gordon come in and pinch run immediately. If you have Gordon on the bench, it would be a waste for him to not enter the game as a pinch runner at some point in the game. Why not take the extra base when you can. It’s getting Gordon to first that’s been the problem, not getting him from first to second.
Jon Weisman
Sorry – I don’t know why I had Sellers there. It’s Gordon leading off today.

Is this a KCAL game? It’s not on my TV sked for Prime Ticket out here.
Jon Weisman
Yes.

Thanks, Jon. Gameday or nuthin’, then.

Kemp not put forth for NL player o’week consideration – Dodgers nominated Capuano (2-0, 0.66 ERA, 13.2 IP, 14 SO). http://atmlb.com/IBpTAT

There’s always next week.

Donnie is finally batting Loney 5th. Praise Jesus.
Jason Ungar
you sound like having a .220 hitter with a 650 OPS hitting 5th is a good thing.

I had forgotten that Vin isn’t travelling to Colorado anymore, that was a very disappointing intro.
KT
Come on Dee start it off
KT
MATTY!!!!
KT
2 to 3 more today matty
Jeffrey Thomas III
That was almost a line drive home run. Gotta love good ol’ Coors Field.
KT
Yea…as close as you can get to a line drive…it had a slight arc to it

I wonder how long it’s going to take before teams start giving Matt Kemp lots and lots of intentional walks, like they used to do with Asterisk Bonds (and like we did with Pujols in the NLDS).
KT
Rockies announcers just brought that up

Another important walk by Ellis. When you’re able to work a 2 out, bases empty walk with the pitcher on deck, you’ve got a great eye.
KT
Nice Mark
KT
Harang on a K role right now
4 k’s with only 34 pitches through 3 innings
KT
Come on guys…Let’s score some runs
KT
good play by Helton on loney’s line drive

The Pirates have managed to score 9 runs tonight. And they’re ahead. They finally gave up more than 5 on Sunday.
RJ Dickey has an interesting game going on in Houston.

So the instant I switch Gameday over, it gets less interesting.

Oh well, I can’t complain. I saw the end of Humber’s perfecto live on television, the third time I’ve seen one live on TV.

Nice Tony
Come on AJ get Harang up
KT
Good job AJ

The poor man’s 1-2, Jr and AJ.
KT
but they got the job done…skinnyswag9 starting off next inning

Yeah, now if they had done that in front of Matty…
KT
need a DP here
KT
Nice Catch Matty!!

Couldn’t tell if AJ couldn’t or wouldn’t stay in front of the plate on that throw home.
KT
Cargo would have been safe anyway

It was a strong throw, but a little high for AJ to make the tag.

Very bad inning for Harang. No cheap hits, and a sloppy walk.
KT
Nice double BGJ

Come on Juan

Come on Tony

Good play by Helton again…That was a ball Tony

Harang against the heart of the Rocks’ order in Denver is not an appealing prospect.
KT
good tulo’s out time for a DP with helton’s speed
KT
We can still get this game…we are into their bullpen now…come on blue
KT
wow Loney didn’t try to get to 1st and elbert was very slow off the mound

Inexplicably bad play by Loney, who should have taken it himself.
KT
lucky it didn’t hurt us

Looking forward to the day Rubby De La Rosa returns to the rotation.
KT
Nice play Mark…Lets get some runs guys

Belay my last on about being in the rockies bullpen

The following was posted earlier from SI.
“Tremendous baseball point by Keith Olbermann. The baseball aficionado pointed out Saturday that for Mickey Mantle’s big-league debut in 1951 and for Bryce Harper’s in 2012, Vin Scully was in the broadcast booth both times”
.
I don’t see how this can be anything but utter nonsense unless it means that Vin Scully was in a broadcast booth both times.
Mantle’s debut 4/17/1951, Yankee Stadium, game started at 2:12, Dodgers are at home in Brooklyn, game started at 2:07.
I would like to discuss how like a demagogic politician Olbermann is but I have neither the time or energy for such a project which doesn’t belong here in any case; and, Peter King might have misunderstood the original.
Jon Weisman
The Scully-Mantle reference refers to Mantle’s debut in New York in a Dodger-Yankee exhibition game.

I thought of that possibility but Harper played in exhibition games for the Nationals this spring. I admit not in a ml ball park. But the comparison of Harper’s debut in a ml game with
mantle’s in a exhibition game seems overdone.
Jon Weisman
Vin was present at the start of both their careers, if you can just forgive the technicality. I think that’s pretty cool, and I don’t think many would disagree.
KT
Oh he missed that one

If there’s anything positive to come out of this game, it may be Macdougal’s DFA.

Excellent catch Mark
