• Padres show sign of being a great team

Photo by Justin Berl/Getty Images Capitalizing against bad teams is what great teams have done in the past For years now Padres fans have been frustrated by the fact their team hasn’t dominated a couple of the worst teams in MLB: the Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies. Usually they’ve been able to win games against one of the two—not both. Last year, they went 5-8 against Colorado. In...2025

Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images Colorado Rockies news and links for Tuesday, April 29, 2025 Over the weekend, the baseball discourse took a strange turn. Here’s a sample from Ken Rosenthal on Monday: The Orioles’ 10-17 record is the third-worst in the majors, ahead of only the Chicago White Sox (7-21) and Colorado Rockies (4-23). Their 5.83 rotation ERA is also the third-worst, ahead ...2025

• The Royals have been the Rockies before

Peter Aiken-Imagn Images It’s terrible as a baseball fan for it to be April and your team is already hopeless.
