SS almost out of position, made Bart double-clutch. Edit: I guess he was fine and calling for the ball. Super odd play.

I get it. I haven't been to a live game since they introduced the pitch clock to speed up play, I wonder if it just makes the whole experience (more of) a sensory overload.

Hot take? I don't disagree with him. One of the things that sort of enrages me about attending a sporting event now is that there's SO MUCH NOISE and distraction and lots of things going on unrelated to the sportsball. It can make it difficult to pay attention.

Still a highly profitable team, last I heard. Denver fans are loyal, and the stadium always has a good crowd down the left side, especially when marquis teams are in town. So there's no motivation to spend.

Especially given their recent bad luck signing free agents who then never play again.

Sadly, the Phillies are done with the Rockies (now 8-42) this year.  

It's almost June...and there are 3 days of the week that they have not won a game on yet.

I know we all had opinions and I agree with this so I hope if someone backscrolls they'll find me agreeing with myself 

"Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve.”

I know it hurt Cubs fans when Kris Bryant moved on, and he wasn't a superstar with the Giants but it still mystified me that they'd let him go. Think those teams knew something the Rockies didn't?

guh. I say guh.

Awfully quiet in here. 

Cubs lose 14-5 in the 11th inning. One of those things that happens only never per century.

Yeah that dude landed like a sack a potatoes. Plus it looks like he wasn't wearing pants or shirt. And he waited until a play to the outfield (sort of) and just frickin' launched himself over. Looked like a couple of neurons shot one arm toward the railing to grab on but the rest of him was already headed for the warning track.

Edit: wearing shorts but had taken off his shirt and poured beer on himself in support of a Pirates rally.
