Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle celebrates after scoring the winning run on a wild pitch against the Minnesota Twins in the 11th inning at Coors Field on October 01, 2023. , he used the word “execution” multiple times. Why can’t the Rockies try to execute as follows in a tight ballgame: The leadoff hitter gets a bunt single, he steals second, he advances to third on a fielder’s choice and comes home on a sacrifice fly?Judy, forgive me, but your question prompts a legendary sports quote.
But your main point is accurate. The Rockies — who lack home run power — need to be better playing “chain-reaction” baseball. When Schmidt said, “At some point, you have to focus on somebody else and not necessarily yourself,” I think that’s part of what he was getting at. Hi Patrick, this is probably a repetitive question, but who, if anyone, is on the hot seat right now? Or are Dick Monfort and his merry band of inept brothers fully confident in the 2028 season and think this is just a rough patch? How’s the season treating you so far? Since you have to go to games, what do you do to make it enjoyable aside from filling in on Nuggets and other team coverage when asked? Thanks, as always, for your reporting. Hang in there.
There isn’t another team in baseball that wouldn’t have fired Bud Black long ago. Unfortunately, since ownership doesn’t care about winning, it also doesn’t care who the manager is. What a difference there is between Black and Michael Malone or Sean Payton. If nothing else, the Rockies need a new voice at the helm — one that will get the players, media and fans excited. Until that happens, all concerned will continue to accept losing that is also complacent and boring.
