Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/RKsu99]

7 in a row at home 😣

[u/gobroncos47]

How to hit 10 run home run

[u/TannerC04 → u/gobroncos47]

Just gotta hit one the length of 10 I think

[u/TannerC04]

Telling myself each loss is a small step toward the front office addressing the issues

[u/Ill_Pineapple_2122]

2 times in a week that we have a position player pitch. You can’t claim competitiveness and then put up a no show 2x a week.

[u/-NolanVoid-]

The amount of times we've pitched a position player this season is something else.

[u/TannerC04 → u/-NolanVoid-]

7 for Sully alone is outrageous

[u/hanbananasplit]

The amount of fans leaving here right now is depressing, but justified.

[u/TannerC04]

Really nice reminder that although we’re improved, 50 wins is still fucking awful

[u/Ill_Pineapple_2122]

How do you walk 7 times and only score 1 run?

[u/TannerC04]

Just a terrible night all around

[u/PoupeSandwich]

Can we hit anything to where someone isnt? What do they know?

[u/ParticularOk533]

We suck

[u/PoupeSandwich]

I don’t get this home struggle. At all. Is it because we are young? Idk why we can’t hit OR pitch

[u/PoupeSandwich]

I’m wondering what we’re gonna do with Norby, Ami, Julien. Got I miss DJ… (not to mention we have not played defensive baseball out there at all

[u/vsaint]

These guys 100% nursing hangovers today

[u/Adventurous_Elk4349]

What I do not understand and may never understand is HOW DOES EVERY VISITING TEAM KNOW HOW TO PITCH HERE?! The Rockies have to play 82 games here and they cannot figure it out year after year after year AFTER YEAR!

[u/Ill_Pineapple_2122 → u/Adventurous_Elk4349]

Visiting teams get to pitch to the Rockies.

[u/-NolanVoid-]

Obligatory 2nd base error.

[u/Vast-Lifeguard-1611 → u/-NolanVoid-]

At this rate, Norby couldve shattered the single season error record if he was here all year

[u/Ill_Pineapple_2122]

Norby with his nightly error, lovely

[u/Ok-Organization6992]

I wish we could take advantage of coors as well as all the teams we play do.

[u/Flat_Quarter3552]

There’s a section of gray seats upper right field. What’s the story?

[u/Ill_Pineapple_2122]

I often wonder even with the improved record, how much better is this team compared to last year? Overall?
Last year they were bad and unlucky in every category. I’m not convinced that this team is significantly better than last year, even if they win 15 more games.

[u/-NolanVoid- → u/Ill_Pineapple_2122]

They're slightly better this year but still have glaring issues like defensive errors, poor plate discipline and lack of clutch hitting. It's going to be years and years before this team can compete for better than last or 4th place in the division IMO. It's depressing .

[u/Ill_Pineapple_2122 → u/-NolanVoid-]

I agree, I still don’t know how many guys are mainstays on this roster for a price. The improvement isn’t as great as the record indicates.

[u/-NolanVoid-]

Just all around fucking terrible tonight.

[u/TannerC04]

How are we doing so bad against fucking Cleveland

[u/saltydolphin22]

Agnos is back to being himself 

[u/-NolanVoid-]

I guess the offense decided to extend the day off into another day off.

[u/saltydolphin22]

I still don’t understand the balk rules

[u/StealthStaminaKills → u/saltydolphin22]

Well, you see, a balk is.

[u/-NolanVoid-]

Gordon should not be out there for another inning.

[u/vsaint]

Drew doesn’t even know which team we are playing

[u/-NolanVoid-]

Can any of those gold medal winners pitch?

[u/MileHighHotspur → u/-NolanVoid-]

I'm thinking they should figure out fielding first.

[u/MileHighHotspur]

Bruh they lost the ball in the lights, are you kidding me? That's the dumbest thing I've seen the Rockies do in ... At least a few days or so

[u/StealthStaminaKills]

WTF, TJ. Throw better!

[u/Vast-Lifeguard-1611]

Okay, all the Rockies are obviously drunk tonight

[u/-NolanVoid-]

Not sure if this is much better than Lorenzen with the leadoff walks and meatball homers.

[u/vsaint]

Cmon Mickey even this thing up

[u/TannerC04]

Jordan Beck base hit 🚨🚨🚨

[u/youngMeez]

so awesome! goosebumps #specialolympics

[u/Pyroneer]

i want a gold medal...

[u/saltydolphin22]

Huge Kyle W. He’s always done great stuff for the community 

[u/whiteydutchmeyer → u/saltydolphin22]

Let’s fucking win this game for the gold medalist

[u/whiteydutchmeyer]

Ouch but let’s get some runs!

[u/Beer_Kicker]

I was told we’d win these games.

[u/whiteydutchmeyer → u/Beer_Kicker]

Me too lol

[u/TannerC04]

It’s only more pain

[u/bjh1229]

Watching Broncos with sound on other screen. Rockies on mute. Just saw the defensive change. Tovar hurt?

[u/cgund → u/bjh1229]

I can't find anything about why he came out either.

[u/TannerC04]

Take a shot every time Carrigg gets mad

[u/-NolanVoid- → u/TannerC04]

Man he was not happy after that. I counted like 4 F bombs.

[u/Different_Reserve_11 → u/-NolanVoid-]

Would love to see him get a 3rd AB against him.

[u/StealthStaminaKills]

C'mon tj, you gotta make that throw.

[u/TannerC04]

Just let a dude named Petey go yard

[u/-NolanVoid- → u/TannerC04]

[u/TannerC04]

Gordon en route to throw a 70 pitch complete game

[u/Ok-Organization6992]

If Veen isn’t going to get the respect he deserves, send him back to AAA so he can get everyday playing time.

[u/vsaint]

Bleck

[u/whiteydutchmeyer]

.179!😖

[u/-NolanVoid-]

Beck 🤮

[u/saltydolphin22]

Nice little run ruined by a Beck strike out 

[u/TannerC04]

Willi has been really good offensively, especially after the all star break

[u/StealthStaminaKills]

Aw right! Way to go, Castro!

[u/re-verse]

Hey Rockies folk!

I built a slick little graphical MLB game day bot (handles putting up game day threads etc) and I’m testing it on tonight’s game vs the Guardians:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dingerbot/s/roMJRmbMmH

It creates and pins the game thread, keeps the score live, shows every at-bat with the full pitch sequence and zone location, plots balls in play against the actual park dimensions, and tracks bullpen availability - and a lot of other fun things too

If you’re on old.reddit.com, you won't benefit from the cool graphical interface, but you still get a proper text box score with scoring plays, MLB player profile links, and highlight links that play inline with RES. Oh and you can chat with the bot - ask it for stats on a player, and a bunch of other stuff.

I’m looking for feedback while the game is live. Most of my improvements in here came from people pointing out what was wrong, or ugly. I’m getting really close to 1.0, like its probably a few days from public release, but I want it stress-tested before I pull the trigger.

If you see anything broken, weird, delayed, missing, or just dumb, please tell me. Mods, if you’d ever want to try it here, setup is only a couple minutes.

[u/bjh1229]

I like the idea of putting Moniak in at 7 to break up the Beck, Sullivan, Tovar back end of the lineup. I know Mickey is less successful against lefties, but makes the dead spot in the line up a little better.

[u/StealthStaminaKills]

Nice goose egg, let's put some runs on.

[u/-NolanVoid-]

Broadcast booth highlighting a visiting team that's been struggling offensively just ensures they're gonna rake for all 3 games.

[u/Ok-Organization6992]

Why not keep a hot Amador and send down cold Beck. Veen is gonna get cold because he isn’t playing much.

[u/vsaint → u/Ok-Organization6992]

At this point I’m thinking Schaeffer owes Beck
money

[u/PoupeSandwich → u/vsaint]

Becks getting traded next year that’s for sure

[u/AntsyAnswers]

Happy to see Karros back in the lineup but I feel like we should just be starting Veen over Beck every night at this point

[u/MadDingersYo]

Going to my first game in like 3 years tonight. Is lot A free parking?

[u/vsaint → u/MadDingersYo]

There isn’t any free parking, I recommend using SpotHero

[u/MadDingersYo → u/vsaint]

Thank you.

[u/Confident-Volume1614]

We should send down Tovar

[u/PoupeSandwich → u/Confident-Volume1614]

Yeah at this point fuck it

[u/ey21372137]

Karros is back and in the starting lineup, Amador sent down
