After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

You can also point to Tapia as a player who's been sent up and down, sometimes with reason, sometimes without. Would the team have been better off just giving either Tapia or Dahl consistent PT until they proved that they either had the goods or didn't? Now, your kind of stuck with a bit of a logjam with 2 older players who MIGHT not have been needed (Desmond and Murphy) if the younger guys had been consistently developed. Just my opinion...
Same for Dahl. When he hit in 2016 and their were no better options, he played. Then injury plagued him - he missed all of 2017, and about half of 2018. When he demonstrated consistency at the end of 2018, he made believers of the team, and they committed to him as their full time left fielder this year. Sure, they wanted it to happen earlier, but he simply wasn't able to keep himself on the field and produce.
The team is in competent hands now. The players who should be playing are playing. Viewing the organization through the lens of previous regimes is a mistake that fantasy owners shouldn't be making in 2019."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

Murphy is a pro and getting him for 2 years at 12 per seems like a great deal."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

All-star shortstop Trevor Story is headed to the injured list with a sprained right thumb, but extensive tests on Thursday revealed no major structural damage. Still, he could miss at least two weeks of playing time.
“It’s a relief for me, for sure,” said Story, who jammed his thumb Wednesday night while sliding into second base as he tried to stretch a single into a double. “I was obviously scared, but it could have been a lot worse. I’ll try to find something positive in that. But it’s still going to be tough, no matter how much time I miss.”

Here is my frustration with the Rockies. Rodgers gets called up. Hampson gets called up. Who starts at SS last night? The great Valaika, who hit .156 last year and is at a robust .050 this year. Why is this dude on the roster?After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?

Of course Hampson could have gotten the start also.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?
