A 20 - 5 beat down by the Phillies. Okay back to the Hurdle watch...how bad is this team going to get, how much World Series fan goodwill will be lost, when is the fire sale? I mean Hurdle gets a lot of kudos for his World Series run, but realistically this is a manager with a 462 - 541 (.461) 6 and half year career. Granted he took a bunch of rookies but when management sits around and discusses their investment is this really someone you want to guide your team. This isn't about injuries this is about pitching and not giving your team even a chance. This is about adjustments...every team has the Red Sox blueprint on how to shut the team down. Where is the fire, desire?
He Was a Rockie - David Nied
Not exactly an unknown but where did Nied go? Obviously he was the first player drafted by the Rockies in the Expansion Draft. He was from the pitching trust that is Atlanta in the early 90s. This was an arm to build a team around...14 - 18 career record with 46 starts spanning 4 years...done at 27. Best year was 1994 when he had a 9 - 7 record and 10 complete games! Wow, guess his story befits a team that as always had difficulty in finding pitching.
