[Rockies] Games 120-122: Monday August 12th through Wed August 14th. Rockies vs Padres

[Blondie79]

Man - padres D has been awful

Have to eat crow about DJ - turned it around and is playing good D and offense.

It's raining pretty good. Wonder how much longer they'll let it go.

Fans don't care at all tonight even up 8-0. Very quiet.

May only be a meaningless 4 game win streak. But still a lot more enjoyable when it happens.

good lord padres D has been really really bad lol

[Bronco51]

Monfort and O'Dowd have had their dreams answered. A little winning streak to verify that he doesn't need to spend cash to improve the team in the winter because they are contenders with who they have right now.

On a side note what in the world is going on with Tulo?

He is in a real bad place at the plate.

He has been downright abysmal since returning from the DL.

Lowered his average nearly 50 points in that span which means he is hitting what? Below .200
Since he returned?

[Broncoholic3233]

I just chalk it up to the normal HUGE slump Tulo has every year.

Hate to sound negative, and not to take anything away from Tulo because he's a hell of a player...but he does this every year. One HUGE slump.

Other players have slumps like CarGo, Cuddy, whoever. But no one usually dips as low as Tulo does during his huge slump. Then after the slump, he'll go back to tearing it up.

Exactly. In a 6 month sport, he is a 4 month player.....with one month on the DL, and the other month in a huge slump. But for 4 months he is a superstar. Would love to see him put it together from start to finish. This routine he is in now needs to end.

Not going to argue. It's just usually that he starts the year slow. So I don't consider it a slump so much as a slow starter.

He is usually tearing it up by August. So I'm really disappointed.

But yeah not like it isn't something we haven't seen before.

As unlikely as it is the season isn't mathematically lost yet. And with Cargo injured Tulo really needs to snap out of it and step up as an offensive leader.

[Broncoholic3233]

[Broncoholic3233]

[DenverBlood]

This team has a knack for blowing big leads all at once in one inning.
