Strike 3: Finding fixes to a struggling Colorado Rockies franchise

1 week ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 3: What’s happening with the Rockies this season is “unhealthy for baseball,” according to well-known national baseball writer Tim Kurkjian. While others disagree, and say there are always 100+ loss teams every season, the fact that the Rockies could be historically awful at the same time their division rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to be historically great speaks volumes about the gap that currently exists between the haves and the have-nots in MLB.
Asking the Monforts to sell the Rockies is a fool's errand

1 week ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 2: While a few paper bags being used as headwear have been spotted at Coors Field recently, what’s more obvious is those in attendance wearing shirts emblazoned with “Sell the Team.”It’s a popular notion among fans and many in the media. Most folks would like to see the Monfort family sell the Colorado Rockies to someone who would put a greater emphasis on winning.
Strike 1: What went wrong with the Colorado Rockies

1 week ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 1: It was 30 years ago that Coors Field opened and the Colorado Rockies, in just their third season in existence, made the National League playoffs. They threw a scare into the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves in the postseason to boot. Fast forward to 2025. After Monday’s loss to the Chicago Cubs, the Rockies 9-45 record is the worst through 54 MLB games. Ever. What the heck has happened?
Strike 3: Denver is a perfect spot for a future UFL team

2 weeks ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 3: That’s it. No more NBA playoffs. The NHL ended around here a few weeks ago, and the Broncos don’t start real training camp action for more than two months. And yes, the team has plans to have fans in attendance at practice again this year. Hooray. But until then…There’s a sports viewing vacuum around here.
Strike 2: The Rockies need to say goodbye and farewell to 2018

2 weeks ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 2: The 2018 Colorado Rockies won 91 games and beat the Chicago Cubs in the National League Wild Card game before falling to the Milwaukee Brewers in the Divisional round. Pretty sure most Rockies fans would love to be in that position in 2025. The Rockies management would love it too.
DaRon Holmes must impact next year's Nuggets

2 weeks ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 1: “With the 25th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets select DaRon Holmes II, University of Dayton.”Okay, so that’s not exactly how things are going to go down at the next NBA Draft, but the equation does come out basically the same. In actuality, Holmes was Denver’s first-round draft pick up (arriving via a trade with the Phoenix Suns) in 2024, but missed the entire season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in his first NBA Summer League action.
Strike 3: Ridiculously early look at the Denver Broncos schedule

3 weeks ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 3: Let’s get ridiculous. It’s May. The ink isn’t dry on NFL rookie and free agent contracts. Rookies are still looking for places to live, and we don’t even know if or where Aaron Rodgers is going to play next fall. Training camp is two months away and most of the veterans, holdovers and newcomers alike, are on vacation.
Former Rockies manager Bud Black will look good in Dodger blue

3 weeks ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 2: Bud Black is better off now. When a team isn’t any good – and the Colorado Rockies certainly qualify – it’s almost always the manager who gets to be the scapegoat. With the team on pace for an historically terrible record, Black got the pink slip, even though the mess at 20th and Blake is not of his doing.
The big mismatch in the Nuggets series against the Thunder

3 weeks ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 1: As you might expect in a playoff series that’s knotted at two games apiece, there aren’t many mismatches on display that two opponents can exploit. In the case of the Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder however, there is one glaring mismatch. It’s in the general manager’s chair. And the Thunder are exploiting it.
Strike 3: Becky Hammon should have replaced Gregg Popovich

1 month ago | milehighsports.com | Mark Knudson

Strike 3: Gregg Popovich is one of the best coaches – if not the best coach – in NBA history. Now that he’s retiring, the next coach of the San Antonio Spurs – acting head coach Mitch Johnson has been named the successor – has some big sneakers to fill. It’s always tough to follow a legend. The expectations are through the roof going in. On the plus side, Johnson can look forward to the (hopeful) return of Victor Wembanyama and will have All-Star De’Aaron Fox for a full season as well.

To the surprise of...no one.

Patrick Lyons @PatrickDLyons

Do my eyes deceive me or are there about three Yankees jerseys for every one Rockies jersey at Coors Field today? https://t.co/OGkRhtv8fj

Those of us who sat through the second inning of the ‘24 season opener in AZ refuse to call a 10 run inning “massive.”
