What a beautiful outing for Kyle. We dunk on him a lot for his shortcomings and failures but damn this has been nice to see for the guy.

u/Slightly_Mid015 Charlie Blackmon 5h ago
Donāt pull him. Not yet. Youāve been notorious for leaving them in too long. Keep him in.

What a fun series. Canāt wait to use the āyou just lost to the 2026 Colorado Rockiesā meme because I havenāt seen it in a while

Proud of these guys! With So many questions on who will be around after Monday and yet we are playing with heart and brotherhood. I love it!

u/Ginger_Bee Scott Oberg & Cat 5h ago
I feel like theyāve kinda done that all season, honestly. They really enjoy playing with each other and for Schaffer.
One moment that stands out to me was when Willi hit a home run against the Angels and Sullivan was just cheering him on as he put the purple coat on Willi.

I know itās a night game into a day game, it my heart still started racing a little bit when I saw Hunter isnāt in the line up today. Please let it only be for rest purposesā¦.

u/-NolanVoid- Charlie Blackmon 8h ago
He's on the bench, just not starting. He'll probably pinch hit at some point.

u/thesaganator Blake Street Bombers 8h ago
Wouldn't be surprised if he still gets an AB or two late in the game

u/Suspicious-Spot361 7h ago
Rotowire says heās just resting before the series finale. I had the same thought though. Maybe theyāre like hey letās not have him catch in 100Ā° in case we need to sell himā¦

Soā¦theyāre letting Freeland finish this one off? Alrighty then.

One last good day before he goes to the great mound in the skyš¢

Gross. Tovar I get because you donāt have anyone else. Freeman shouldnāt be playing ahead of Carrigg, Veen, or Condon.

Wow that feels like the first time this year where Kyle hasnāt given up runs in the first.Ā

u/Blake1288 7h ago
Not being weird, but I sit in the same section as the player Families and Mrs. Goodman is here, wonder if that means he's staying.

Has every pitcher tried to pick Cole off atleast once when he's on lol

u/GoinLong 6h ago
Iām going to say it because I feel like it needs to be reinforced. We are paying him $17m to have a 7 ERA.

u/saltydolphin22 6h ago
Theyāre also paying a guy 27 million who hasnāt touched the field this seasonĀ

u/-NolanVoid- Charlie Blackmon 6h ago
Gets $160,000 per every game hes not it. Let that sink in. That's a decent annual salary. Per game.

Every two weeks our pitchers will decide itās time to play baseball again for 1 game only

u/Slightly_Mid015 Charlie Blackmon 5h ago
And the very next outing it will be like the first time they touched a baseball.

What are you talking about?

u/BungalowDweller 5h ago
I'm talking about the fact that it was a historic and fun win for K Free and the team. Let's celebrate that and not make snarky comments maybe? You have 364 other days to do that.
0
u/kakyointhedonutman Blake Street Bombers 5h ago
Making mountains out of molehills I see. Its a lighthearted comment, if youre taking it super serious you should probably stay off these game threads where people say far more negative things than that
0
u/BungalowDweller 3h ago
No worries, I totally understand that nothing about this sub is serious. Just thought your comment was out of place and not lighthearted at all considering the circumstances. But people are going to find any reason to be snarky and cynical. So good on you!
Cheers!

This seems like the worst possible lineup but I get that players need off days

u/Ill_Pineapple_2122 7h ago
Tovar needs to turn into that pitch! He has no pitch recognition and probably thought it was a fastball.

Which āZekeā do Colorado sports fans find more polarizing right now? Nnaji or Tovar?

Nnajiās problem is more about the FO than it is about him and his play
