What they're saying

"
Hunter Goodman certainly has a sharp eye for the strike zone these days. Goodman has 27 homers this season, which is tied with Hall of Famer Larry Walker (2001) for the most by a Rockies player before the All-Star break. Entering Friday, there's still 10 games remaining before the intermission, too, meaning more chances for Goodman to slip on that fake-fur purple coat the Rockies trot out for home run celebrations in the dugout.
