begging people to treat pro athletes like the normal ass people they are ffs

Do we actually think that an eighth grader has the ability to assess and weigh the risks of max effort high end velocity training? Middle schoolers should be playing baseball and other sports because they're fun, not because it's already a job. And that's the adults' faults.

The Rockies had a team meeting following their 5th straight loss and 2nd walk-off loss in three games vs. the Marlins.

On the finale and Colorado’s skid:

Bud Black didn’t discuss what was talking about during the meeting, but expressed his support of the team. Said the group has a lot of heart, and are “playing their asses off,” but the big, clutch hits aren’t coming.

The Rockies, it seems, are having a team meeting following their second extra-inning loss in the past three games.

During their five-game losing streak, they’ve been outscored 36-17. It’s been a rocky start to the year.

FINAL | Rockies fall, 5-4, as the Marlins walk it off in the 10th inning.

Colorado is 7-24

To extra innings we go for the second time this series. Rockies and Marlins tied at 4.

incredible work by the marketing dept. This is amazing

4th grader: what does public school mean?

Me: it means our school is publicly funded, so we get money from people’s taxes and the government

4th g: how much money does the government have?

Me: a lot

4th g: and how much do we get?

Me: not a lot

4th g: okay this is whack

So beautifully put. Sarah is such an inspiration and leader in the ALS community. We're so grateful to know her and fight alongside her. Thank you for everything you do and happy birthday, Sarah Langs ❤️

Marlins tie the game on a Josh Bell homer in the third.

Quite a slugfest in the works here in Miami.

Jacob Stallings just CRUSHED a three-run homer, his first of the season, to put the Rockies on top.

3-2 Colorado

This sets a franchise record for consecutive games trailing at any point in a season.

Colorado extends their historic stretch of having trailed to 31 consecutive games to start the season.

Rockies trail, 1-0, in the first.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sarah Langs!!! We're beyond lucky to share the baseball world with you 🩷🩷🩷

To the professional journos I've engaged with the past few days: I'm a journalist, not a source.

I have lots of DMs from journos asking what I saw at CCNY yesterday but few replies from editors who want to pay for my work.

when the highly accomplished, ultra-talented 25-year-old who multiple MLB teams wanted to pay hundreds of millions of dollars turns out to be pretty good

You've heard of the 'Rust Belt' and the 'Bible Belt'. Now introducing: the 'Hockey Belt'!

This map shows where every North American NHL player is from.

FINAL | Rockies lose, 4-1.

Colorado's 7-23 start is the worst through the first 30 games of a season in franchise history.

The Rockies get a run across in the 6th but that's all -- trailing 2-1 mid 6.
