It's really funny being a #Rockies fan who actually follows the team and watching "fans" who don't who will say "The Rockies did nothing this offseason" and the look at the lineup and say "I don't know any of these guys"

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

I'm not gonna wax poetic since I'm not an #OaklandAs fan... but watching today... watching the last out... Its not right, it never was.

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

@brendanpricePBP You can say that again!

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

@broncos314 @psaundersdp Yes, It does matter. Hope that helps!

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

@RAaseng @UmpScorecards Yeah, but it wasn't a blow out in the first or third inning when the 2nd and 3rd worst calls were made. If you watched the game you'd know it was terrible no matter the score.

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

@madelinecdavis_ Taking the over on the 60.5 win total. The Rockies team last year was the first one to lose 100 games and people act like it's happened every year since '07! There is a lot to be excited about this year (And I have high hopes for 2025)

Cutting Russ makes 0 sense. #Broncos are drafting a quarterback, that much is clear, but with the dead cap hit the team will be unable to sign a guy for him to learn under or a line for him not to get crushed under. An unwise move by an unwise front office and an unwise coach.

Did Jarrett Stidham give the broncos the best chance to win? No. But did he make the broncos more interesting?? Also no.

@DNVR_Rockies Spoilers, but Colvin, Byrnes, and Eliezer Alfonso were mine!

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

@PatrickDLyons I've had a love hate relationship with every closer since Betancourt. Greg Holland basically the same in my opinion. I think any positive stats are muddled by the overall money spent and productivity of guys like Davis, Holland, Mcgee, Dunn, Motte and others in the bridich Era.

@Hullshow Deshaun Watson is much much worse

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

@Hullshow All to get another QB that doesn't fit Payton's "scheme" of running the ball on first and second down and then throw behind the line and lose two yards

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

Russell Wilson: *looks good and leads comeback*
Sean Payton: "We'll see about that"

@chargers @tomgrossicomedy @BrandonPerna congrats guys!

@brendanpricePBP You guys beat the Rockies this winter

[Benjamin Shumate @Ben_Shumate_Rep]

Bill Schmidt of the #Rockies said his goal for the off-season was to get a backup catcher, but this Soto trade proves you can't get a topflight guy like Higashioka without having to give up the modern-day Ted Williams
