Im pissed. Honestly, for any player that has put on a Rockies uniform, our time playing at Coors has been discredited. The best player in franchise history, and probably the best player you’ve played with, can’t earn the respect of writers who never watched you play.
#fact
Tonight was one of the coolest events I’ve ever been a part of. Shohei was great. Trevor represented the region proud. Trey is an inspiration to all. And Polar bears were born to hit dingers. Amazing night. Good job Colorado!
I stand by umpires 99% of the time, but this just escalated the tension between Cards and Cubs. And now puts multiple players, pitchers on Cards at risk. Based on Happs reaction after getting hit, it was over. He accepted it. Umpires should have too.
Someone explain how the road team in this World Series went 7-0, and out scored the home team 49-14????!!!!!! ITS BASEBALL!!!!!! There is no explanation, that’s why it’s the best game ever!!!!!!
You have no idea how excited I am. Oakland just got one of the brightest, passionate broadcaster on the planet. Jenny has worked her tail off to earn this role, our family is so proud. Happy tears of joy.
In 2008, I was working out at Coors field, my car was in players parking lot. After workout I noticed the brake light was broken, I thought a teammate hit my car and said nothing. I was mad. Security footage showed a long-horned steer got loose and hit my car. See you at stock
Still get goosebumps and mixed feelings watching this. It was an incredibly difficult year for me, I lost my mom, had a child coming, and wasn’t playing well, too much for me to handle. I wasn’t a great teammate. Sprinting,was letting go, embraced by teammates brought me back 🥲
Thank you baseball and fans for another great season!To the grounds crew, security, ushers and vendors, Coaches, players and umpires,The front offices,scouts, host families and support systems.The broadcasters,radio/tv crews, executives, directors and producers! Love this game🙌
Just saw this clip. Is there more to the story? What’s missing here? Stats are the stats. Facts are the facts. This wasn’t presented poorly. I don’t understand.
Here's the clip of Kevin Brown's pregame comments on the Orioles' recent record against the Rays ahead of a series finale on July 23. Sources tell AA these comments led to Brown's current indefinite suspension from Orioles' broadcasts.
This 3-0 talk is a joke. Whats difference between swinging there or 0-0,2-0? None.I don’t care the score,get a pitch you can handle and be aggressive.I tell my 9 year old little league kids to swing 3-0,might be best pitch they see. Play hard,have fun,respect opponent,let it fly!
11 votes?!!!!!! Should have taken steroids kids. That’s the message we are getting. Over 7 public voters, put check marks for PED suspended players only. So tired.
Imagine helping lay the groundwork to a franchise, a place your children watched and played in the highest grounds like a playground, then throwing a first pitch to a child whose future has yet to be scratched, crazy what this moment captures. Goosebumps
Daniel Bard is human. I appreciate how open and honest he is about the anxiety he has been dealing with. Recognizing things aren’t right, and seeking ways to get help with mental health has been an important step for athletes. True strength by being vulnerable
We know how good Nolan is as a player. He’s a wonderful, grounded, down to earth dude. He loves the game, he’s passionate for his teammates, I’m excited for his next chapter. Happy I witnessed his growth, will openly cheer for him always.
BREAKING: Cardinals have agreed to acquire Nolan Arenado from Rockies, sources tell
@TheAthletic
. Deal pending approval from both MLB and players’ union; Rockies sending Cardinals significant cash, believed to be in $50M range, and Arenado will be deferring money.
Dj is a special, he represents many who have played in Colorado (Larry walker). Many think only as a product of a unique environment. One of my favorite players to cover. Hard not to cheer for a ballplyer.
Devastated to learn of the passing of Cody Lyster to covid. To his parents, siblings, teammates and classmates, I offer my deepest condolences. Met him once, a huge Rockies fan, I was looking forward to see him play for CMU baseball! Prayers for his family.
Selfish. League should hammer players or staff, not cool, you can follow protocols for 3 months and go back to doing your thing. If Kelly got 8 games this is far worse because it jeopardizes the whole league
A few Marlins go to a club & now hearin a few Cardinals went to a Casino? That’s not following protocols.
#MLB
Players are furious cause 28 other teams have worked hard to follow guidelines.

Final studio show for me in 2023
@ATTSportsNetRM
. Crazy to think it’s been 10 years when I started. Made life long friends and endless blooper reels. Our crew is anxious to see what happens next year amidst uncertainty. I’m biased, but our Denver staff, is the best in the
Of course I was gonna get emotional talking about Vin. My connection to my mom was through baseball, my youth and baseball fandom tied to Vin and the Dodgers. I’ve said numerous times the thrill of Vin saying my family’s last name during a MLB game is immeasurable.
Gonna miss
@LeBatardShow
! It has inspired me as a radio host to talk about difficult subjects beyond sticking to sports. This was a trailblazing show, looking forward to the podcasts. Enjoy the hard out 🐓🐓🐓🐓
A baseball coach and his family, an idol and his daughter. Gone. Makes zero sense. My wife and I aren’t trying to overthink it, i don’t need another reminder that life is precious, but we have to act as if you may never see someone again.
It’s been 3 years since his pops passed away from ALS. It is ALS awareness weekend, and of course he hits a pinch hit homer. Amazing. Baseball never ceases to fill our souls. Giddy yup!
HAPPY MLB OPENING DAY (should be a holiday)! I wish you and your favorite team a 162-0 season. This will be my eighth season as a broadcaster, gone by in a blink, I still get butterflies before every game knowing the honor it is to watch and call MLB baseball! Let’s go! ⚾️⚾️⚾️
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Got a haircut this morning, barber asked, do you want me to blend in the grays? Sure. Wife said, my present for you is a colonoscopy! Getting pampered today!
Doyle will go down in Rox history books as their best center fielder ever. The speed, the routes, the arm. He has made the hardest centerfield in baseball look manageable. Congrats. Doyle rules!
I’m shedding a couple tears of Dodger blue this morning. Tommy was my childhood manager, met him multiple times throughout my life, he signed a ball for my mom that sits proudly in my home. He was a great ambassador for our wonderful sport. Rip
I was in Santa Barbara last week and found these photos. I’m 6 years old. First Tball team, Dodgers, asked mom to take photos of me. The jersey is in my office. Spike was a great practice buddy. This is what started the journey.
Kyle and Corey Seager played against each other for the first time tonight. Both went yard, and had to hold back smiles while their brother rounded the bases
The end of the day, the HOF vote is a popularity contest. If Bonds had personality of Big Papi, he gets in (look at Arod voting numbers), if Schilling never said anything, he gets in. Call it what it is, a memorialized popularity contest, and I have to accept it.
Today was a thrill to be behind the scenes watching Larry and Derek go through the process together. It’s an overwhelming day, but how the Hall, and MLB network respected them was amazing. One of my favorite days ever as a broadcaster.
I’m excited to join
@AppleTV
on Friday nights for baseball coverage. Getting the privilege to watch
@mlb
and be a part of a broadcast is a passion I didn’t know I was going to love. I just wanted to play ball. Not going anywhere, love my

Ok. Fair let’s say his offensive stats are inflated at Coors. Let’s also discredit that he has more doubles than any 1B in MLB history. Do we also ignore that Todd has a higher road ops than Dave Winfield, George Brett and Tony Gwynn? The argument against Coors holds light air

@spillygoat19
All offensive stats were jumped up at Coors. Avg, HR’s, extra base bits. Field is bigger, but not enough to keep HR’s down. He was a really good player. About .287 with 284 HR’s if he played in an average stadium. Not HOF worthy.
Offensively. Sure. But I’ll make it easy for you. Ohtani = Two Yankee All-Stars. He is two Yanks combined!
Stanton:24HR, 61 RBI, .807 ops
Ohtani:21 HR, 59 RBI, .826 ops
Nestor:8-3 155era+,101.2ip,106ks
Ohtani:9-6 142 era+, 99.1ip, 145ks
Nobody in the league does this. NOBODY
Congrats to the nats. Amazing run. I see similarities with the 2007 group I was in. Playing for each other and with limited expectations after such a poor start. Make me happy watching cause it was an “us” vs the world. Happy for their front office, owner and city. Well earned.
I don’t have to say anything. If you have ever heard me talk on Rox I give my perspective. There is no way around it, this trade will never be perceived well. Rox will have to see impact from minor league system, add the right FA or it will be a disaster.
I was 9 years old when Dodgers won in ‘88 began my baseball love affair. Tonight sat next to my 9 year old son in a Kershaw jersey, 32 years later, they win again. Pretty effin cool! Our house loves baseball.
You’re not going to like this. But it’s the right call. Two things at play here, runners at 1st and 2nd, infield fly rule has been called, batter is out. Even though there is interference from the runner, inadvertently, the runner is also out. That’s the rule and a brutal way to
John Schriffen goes off on umpires after a controversial finish to the Orioles/White Sox game.
"Adrian Johnson. As the crew chief, you gotta take over here. THAT CANNOT BE HOW THIS GAME ENDS...I don't even have any words right now. I'm at a loss and I'm trying to keep my job."
Opening day! Should be a holiday! Celebrate appropriately. Wear eyeblack, strut around a little, come up with cool handshakes. Drink a lot of coffee. Sprint to the checkout line. Scream “let’s gooooooo” randomly.
Didn’t know how much I needed Wynton Bernard on a Friday night. Special night for a special family. That was good fuel for the heart tonight. Our family was cheering from home.
My dad sent me stuff from my room in SB. I made this for English project in 1994! Drafted by ROX in 2002, triple crown winner, MVP, also broke Mikey Mantels HR record! 😂😂😂 still getting stats wrong at 41.
The Rockies announced today that they will retire jersey number 33 in honor of Larry Walker. The ceremony will take place on Sunday, April 19 prior to the Rockies’ 1:10 p.m. MDT game against the St. Louis Cardinals, which will conclude a weekend of celebrations.
If you happened to be
@rockies
game and wanted to read the speech Sully and I collaborated to write. Pretty fun to have played and now introduce a hall of famer.
The amount of people it has taken to even get the project and team to this site is a book long. Couldn’t be happier to see the potential impact it will have for Colorado communities, and sharing it with everyone. Our backyard welcomes you.
Big tip of cap to Buddy. I’ve learned so much about the game from Don Baylor, Jim Tracy, Clint Hurdle and Walt Weiss. Rox managers have left a big imprint on my playing and broadcast career. Bud being

is fitting. Special dude.
