Thanks Ed! I appreciate you posting this my friend… I don’t know that i’ve read something this clear from Tulo, but i’ve sensed it from pretty much day one: “I don’t want to be the next in line as somebody who was here for a long time and didn’t have a chance to win every single year… (Todd) played in a couple postseason games and went to one World Series. But that’s not me. I want to be somewhere where… Read more »
I am not sure, especially after yesterday, but I think the dynamic is changing, at least, until the end of the season. We should be getting some starting pitching help and that might benefit the bullpen as well. The emotional lift from Cargo back and looking healthy is certainly going to be something to build on. We still are having trouble on occasion against some pitchers, but that is only to be expected. I think that we could do well… Read more »
Tulo might be our only hope that can get the message through the thick skulls of the Rox brass. I think our short term solution is simple: Dick Montfort hire a Chief Baseball Executive or President to fill Kelli McGregor’s vacancy. Then get the heck out of sight; don’t be another Al Davis or Jerry Jones of the NFL. Let the new President then make real baseball decisions like Tampa and Oakland do. If that happens, I think Tulo stays… Read more »
I think this time it was a message from Tulo. If nothing is done, next time it will be for real. Excuse me, but how many years have we been screaming about this? How many times does a kid have to put his hand on a hot burner to realize that he shouldn’t put his hand there? How many times does a person have to go bankrupt to realize that they’re a bad money manager? How many years does a… Read more »
Folks, I hated the Matt Holliday trade. At the time I saw the Rockies in a pretty weak division with a club on the way up. Stats wizards said it projected as a fair exchage at the time — projected WAR from Huston Street and Cargo combined basically equaled what you’d get out of Holliday until he became a free agent. But you were shifting those wins from 2009-10 forward to what should have been the prime Cargo years. And… Read more »
Yep.
But bringing (extreme) logic to the table won’t work with an illogical Owner. The problem here starts at the top – the VERY top.
