This about sums up how things are going this season for the #rockies

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@GiantHotTakes Giants went from Pride Night to UFC 251 at record speed

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@Shapalicious That A’s team was so stacked 😂 MVP and Cy Young. Will always amaze me how much credit they got for analytics/finding diamonds in the rough

Tejada
Chavez
Dye
Ellis
Hudson
Zito
Mulder
Koch

Not rocket science to complement those players

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@Sikund_Veltin He makes a good point here though.
Goldman is on the Arenado path at the moment. Breakout when the team is bad. Will need big money once they right the ship.

If the Rockies were within 18 months of a playoff run you keep him. They’re not. Get something that will help later

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@Rockies This is our World Series 😤

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@JasonBirksdis @Shapalicious This is true Rockies tradition.
Overpay him on a big contract.
Can’t afford anyone else.
Make poor decisions elsewhere.
Then he will want a trade and we’ll have to pay him to be somewhere else.

@PatrickDLyons 2026 version of 2025 Jake Bird. Lost our opportunity to flip him for real value

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@CliffStowers @TroyRenck Fighting every series? We are 10-32 against teams >.500.

Chase rate is 3% WORSE than it was last year. Improving this was a priority for the new regime.

Different record pace? Yeah I’ll give you that.
Better team - very up in the air with some very poor underlying statistics

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@RoxFan17 @TroyRenck I don’t doubt that they have a plan in place. And we will learn a lot about the new regime through the TDL.

So far the words sound good, but the actions feel the same unfortunately.

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@RoxFan17 @TroyRenck Sounds great in theory.
Rockies rank last in chase rate this season. Our chase rate is actually worse this year than last.

Current roster has not improved on their chase rate from previous years.

And funny enough, statistically we are swinging more this year than last

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@Sikund_Veltin @Shapalicious Hunter Goodman is solid but we’re witnessing his ceiling.
Rumfield has been good but he’s a 26yo rookie
Senze/Sugano are washed. Just hoping we can flip for some kind of asset.
Carrigg TBD.
Dollander out til 2028.

Rox move to 245 games below .500 since the start of 2019

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@RoxFan17 @TroyRenck 😂 maybe being a fan for 30 years has something to do with it idk. Just calling it how I am seeing it. I’d happily eat my words if this gets turned around

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@RoxFan17 @TroyRenck To me the record is irrelevant.
Any improvement in the system?
Are young guys taking that next step?
Are you making moves to make the organization better?
Doing anything to the books now that’ll help later?

Hired some shiny names otherwise it’s all looked the same to me.

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@RoxFan17 @TroyRenck Well, bud, my expectation was that we’ll stay terrible. Going outside of the organization was the right call. DePodesta was a terrible answer - I’ve said that since day 1. By now you’d think there would be a move or two to spark some excitement. There hasn’t been…

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@RoxFan17 @TroyRenck The difference between 80 to 100 is .500 to elite. The difference from 40 to 60 is shitty to crappy. A 💩 is still a 💩

The competitiveness honestly feels about the same to me. The record is better but the game scripts have been largely similar

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@RoxFan17 @TroyRenck You want me to feel good about a pace for a 59-103 record? There’s not much good to look forward to either. Hurt prospects. Thin system. And a career loser running the show in DePodesta

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@RoxFan17 @TroyRenck It’s all the same issues as it always is. Big K rates. Abysmal bullpens. And now injuries. Still on pace for 100+ losses

[Dinger Muse @DingerMuse]

@TovarSzn Mr Moneyball is now learning about the June Swoon around here. Half the team gets hurt and half the MLB team is an Isotope.

@sarahr7d @BDSpenc A’s are going to thump us
