Troy Rencke

Accurate -- planet we're going to get to all your phone calls the moment here. So stay on holders take a couple moments suspend. Our friend in did in Denver Troy ranked now I can Mario you know it's -- telephone Troy these guys back here it's like they've never talked to telephone before. And -- as we get for higher in the panhandle is it work out of out of our building how are you. I'm good Troy we haven't talked you since the -- Todd Helton thing didn't happen he's having a -- years at 332 I believe his batting averages right now what what's going on -- him.

Why he rebounded it still had to regain the power that -- like in the -- like given the amount of money he picked up all their payroll -- It looked like read it -- help and he showed up that gap to gap guy you can get up it's better to anybody on 13 but no I think it out. Come back our on picture 15 home runs that. He's been among the league leader but on 8% at all. You can argue that the trade not going your gotta benefit all parties might affect the Rockies want it salary relief that was one of their motivation yeah.

Hovering right around the 500 Mark the you're right about his so on base percentage for 47 this guy the one thing you look at though you say the Red Sox where would they have put him in you know how they've worked that out. That the Red Sox corner positions where they got. Youkilis at first played a pretty good defensive first base and he's at 335 himself. Mole who would be where is it Helton were to ever come to this team you know youkilis would have been at third base and and blow himself the seven a pretty good years so it I guess. I guess the only we're concerned about now is he has go to the yankees'.

Yeah I -- you got happening even though they had it certainly can't -- at -- debate that we -- it down on Giambi how the -- on how long he'll -- about the liability currently but. I can't -- Yankee ticket on up payroll being held up even a bigger period -- the deadline your tight about 75 million remaining on his contract. I just don't either moving in that direction and I am not sure that. How would go there obviously approved the trade to -- it was prepared to go to ought then. But he's never that publicly he would go to yet either and again and Eric Gregg never said he wouldn't let. Is a little bit of you don't care whether or not you recruit that trade.

You -- another -- just ridiculous ms. Matt Holliday guy is so what's needed 352 were some like that.

Yeah I mean he. Even illegitimate targeted achievement in some way he played in the number market and it taught at the point where Iraqis got the highlight only audience beginner score only excuse me. Because it got going to be an all our income at second consecutive year to speak up at the right mind they'll put him -- front contest. People were really find out that -- if he got hot bike or arm he can hit all of batting practice -- anybody and the game. He's got unbelievable patient ago gap to gap for a guy that I think if you wanted to read it there eagle run that hit 280 but it can't get the one that they you know what. A victory fit -- at 35 home runs and bat well they're really good young player.

Yeah he's going to 200 hits he you have 400 total bases this guys just out outrages. And I look at his Colorado team -- all these hitters tonight I have a little bit of concern when they come to Fenway that they might just rattled at all over the ball park.

Well that ironically the opposite on the issue -- beat and they pitched a little better than expected would kill when Matt do we went out kept him not to read that you can't open a New York met he was obviously a failure air but. Is much more comfortable in -- He's playing good potential he would he would sign by the met the other big -- Robbie Alomar type Bernal market scale back -- He's shown flat out of the rock and he knew exactly -- 13. And in -- prepare the -- and go but into the game they haven't been that good opted. At least they thought that why they're still under 500 at all big -- a better road team frankly I won't even which. Is very -- for Colorado -- night with our victory don't pretend to get where they want to go. You know I. A little run here they got every door some kind of dominant at all but big executive but it they're playing their best -- all -- rocky impertinent -- over the lot ranking.

let me ask you about your take on or what happens when an American league team goes up against the national league team in their ballpark and they the American league team loses the DH is probably more prevalent or more bigger problem with a Red Sox because their DH is the best in baseball but what do you think it is there anyway that the nationally can just adopt the DH for the season league games.

Yeah I'd be I'd. I mean it -- their other -- contrived in anyway it would be nice to eat out but I I don't see it happening. They're they're the weird thing about -- by -- it would make you PGA they're each almost to a man never produced the guys. And that role on her uncomfortable to create they were obvious that American league team including a function of a line -- on -- and certainly your kids a big poppy. And 14 hitters and pitchers to try to move runners and they haven't done an -- here. But what Iraqis third EH. Britain apparently quite -- to 25 over the last decade to with a major that it would have been very good hitting team they haven't taken advantage that the age at all.

Now probably because you don't need nationally lineups aren't set up for that that function and then you. You get the part where you put the DH in there might be the -- her age seven the -- best hitter on the team right.

Well yeah exactly their case they're looking well it's -- because of that that your racquet their bench players are looking at bat but Jeff Baker right they'll work Clint hurdle in recent years that what you that it way to get. You know the spectrum of the day up there the letter Matt holiday letter that hot felt like it can't EHE one game at an -- Egypt EU didn't get -- wake initially realized. Get back and it happened. Had a chance that's -- over the last couple years he'd taken it manager giving the guy gave up it's beat even -- if Barrett they're beating got about the order -- the first you know ball Mark.

So Colorado is coming here now and by the way. You talk about 225 average of the DH is the Red Sox have a shortstop that their lead off hitter that's batting 213. So don't you know at that and that's not that bad when you look at it that way that Todd hell's going to commit here it is going to be it is seat Fenway Park place he could have ended up playing these going to be fired up to show people. What he might have done in a Red Sox uniform.

Like -- thought about a couple days ago he certainly excited to play at Fenway you curious about what the reaction is going to be and it. I they have like that I can't you. You can't be ranking you do accepted -- every at Belmont ownership in one -- at your side wouldn't -- at the end of the day at a Red Sox wouldn't include medical Carmen -- can't that and really not. If you thought felt good in the back. That we revisit that deal right now. Why you know the rock again they went -- into the year that they continue to -- promote that money could not help despite what eat any what you portrait. I can hit it -- played -- not that green monster -- about a guy who swing is suited for that all our. He had come here not any -- or anyone but. It up or wouldn't change it eat at 330 -- never -- Eric either at 320 by the tree 30 yeah bet bet Rick IP are not that great -- and it it.

If he'd go early out ignore left that he's -- haven't he'd have probably more home runs by just going that way and hit them over the green monster as well the other thing about how -- is ridiculous tonight I know we bring in this back up again kind of lamenting the fact that didn't happen in some ways off. Who would even though our first baseman is having an all starts every year 46 walks for help this guy's an on base machine.

What in part of that is. A function of him trust in the -- around it -- you talk about Julio Lugo was struggling for your team get back in. Certainly struggle for the Rockies. But at the end of the -- these guys are known her third second and third years okay sport you're in the big leagues held no longer feel like yet -- carry that burden -- accurate. You're definitely on -- writers all baked cookies certainly felt like it I don't not the guy and -- the guy I'm certainly not. -- it do it don't you stand is gone now he tried it lineup more you -- colony in -- having got your jacket behind him when he got to guided emerging. In -- I don't sick that night -- out of power wreck. But I think that's why you're in a lot to go up be it you don't cat that hit it one bit when -- the Larry Walker's decrepit will the bidding at the end around the camp. It was less patient because he didn't try to line up around it -- I'll meet -- good that late. It will be my. 83 or fourth time I was there one page so I Don Zimmer a memory I'll never forget about it covered raiders Broncos game. And car avalanche red -- team. I have never ever been an environment like that -- that would still got hit by a top five memory for me other than coverage. Broncos' Super Bowl just because of John Elway into the occasion but this data Colorado but. -- remarkable I -- you know I was Iraqis -- come here every year frankly.

Well I want to be there Thursday bill -- and I going to be watching the game the space there will come up and see in the press box Dorian good talked interior
