Boston Globe wrote:Adrian Gonzalez has seen his home run rate drop since 2009, when he hit one every 13.8 at-bats. In 2010, it was one every 19.1; last year it was one every 23.3; and through Thursday, it was one every 46 this season. At the same time, his strikeout percentage has increased each year, from 16 percent in 2009, to 16.5 percent in 2010, to 16.6 percent last year, and to 18.7 percent this season.

But vetaran pitcher Jamie Moyer made the mistake of providing some when he accused Chipper Jones of relaying signs with Brian McCann at the plate in the fifth inning of Saturday night's game at Coors Field. The four-run advantage the Rockies held at the time of this incident quickly evaporated over the next few innings.

"That was all on Jamie Moyer," Jones said. "He woke a sleeping giant tonight. He started chirping and it went all downhill from there. He accused me of relaying a sign down 6-2 with a 3-0 count to Brian McCann. I have never relayed a sign to anyone while I'm on second base."

"You question our integrity, that's wrong," Jones said. "I've never accused him of doctoring a baseball. I've never accused him of over-milligraming, nothing. That's [garbage] and he woke us up. I didn't see any signs on the 900-foot homers that were hit."
