New pitcher on for the Rockies with Brantley coming up

I love hits like that by Altuve.

He can be a maestro at times.

How was he at 3rd? Did you see any plays that might help see if he can handle it at MLB level?

I love Jose’s power, but I also miss the guy that used to be the league leader in average. He shouldn’t be a .270 hitter.

He is ok at 3rd. I do not understand the question.

Lucas Gilbreath on for Colorado

Brantley

Lines out to LF. Inning over.

Sorry Jim

The big league club hasn’t put him at 3rd even with Bregman out and Robel not hitting at all

I was wondering if you noticed anything in his play at 3rd that stood out good or bad.

I agree.

But he’s 4th in runs scored and just out of the top 10 in rbi (he has 66, there’s a multiplayer tie at 71 for the #10 spot).

Top 7 (Javier still pitching)

Diaz

Strikes out looking

No question, Altuve’s having a great season and is still a great player. He’s just doing it differently now. He has a chance at a 100 RBI season from the leadoff spot.

Hilliard

Singles to left

He plays a decent 3B in AAA. A 3B has to have a strong chest and a good arm. It is not a tough position like SS is. Range to his left would be a plus. Jones would not be an every day player at 3B, and Diaz is better, but Jones is an ok backup.

He was in RR until Sun or Mon, and they need him at 1B. That is his best position.

Flies out to Tucker. Inning over

Good mound visit by Strom.

Still 5-0 good guys.

Makes sense especially with all the shifting.
