MLB 2025

[MCF]

The Rockies won three in a row. There is no official record of the number of heart attacks this caused.

It is important for baseball that they turn it around. With their attendance numbers, there is no excuse.

Their attendance numbers have been a hard freefall for the last five years

This is not true. The Rockies' attendance numbers have been very consistent, and year after year have been amazingly good and average or better among all MLB clubs. It makes a lot of people crazy, because many of us hope attendance will fall off and force Dick Monfort, the team owner, to change the way he runs the club. So far those hopes have been in vain. In fact, the Rockies tend to advertise the stadium amenities more than the team's performance, and people still like killing a few hours in a nice stadium on a clear Colorado afternoon or evening.

From the Denver Gazette June 3: The lowly Rockies (10-50) are currently drawing bigger average crowds than the Mariners, Tigers, Reds, Orioles, Guardians, Royals, Twins, Pirates, White Sox, Marlins, Athletics and Rays.

from the local news

States specifically that they "trended downward since the covid recovery"

The Colorado Rockies are having a historically bad season. Is it affecting people beyond Coors Field?

Denver7 talked with different stakeholders to see if the Colorado Rockies’ poor performance on the field is impacting people beyond Coors Field.

I thought the numbers have been pretty good all things considered.

That is true, but describing the situation as "Their attendance numbers have been a hard freefall for the last five years..." is a gross exaggeration. It's about as accurate as describing a hangnail as a "life changing finger injury." A small decline is definitely not a "free fall."

Their attendance may have declined, but not to disastrous numbers - which is exactly what frustrates a lot of people in Denver. That group WANTS attendance to drop so low that Monfort is forced to make major changes. So far, that isn't even close to happening, and it's very frustrating to them.

The Rockies are in my favorite team’s division & even I feel bad for Denver. Beautiful area and park for such seemingly low-end ownership & poor management.

Pretty sure those are paid number and not gate

Something needs to change. A payroll minimum would help, or a new owner....

I had to look it up since the series in Colorado starts in a bit. The Dodger are 34-29 ay Coors Field since 2013. Go Dodgers!

That’s not really that special considering the Dodgers have been a championship caliber team that whole time and the Rookies have been, well, in existence

Traditionally the Rockies have had a decent home field advantage. When they're "normal bad" they have a winning record at home and a bad road record, and finish the season with maybe 70-something wins. The last few years they've been especially bad and the home advantage has disappeared. They also had two really strong seasons in 2017 and 2018 where they were a legit decent team. So it doesn't really surprise me that even the Dodgers don't have a greater winning percentage at Coors since 2013. The Rockies used to at least be good at Coors.

Anyway, it was a pretty good game last night. 36,500 or thereabouts showed on a Tuesday night. Seemed like a lot of Dodger fans were there.

It seems to me like lots of big leaguers cannot reliably get a bunt down anymore. I guess it’s not a skill that is practiced much these days.

 

[MCF]

So pretty much at the halfway mark. Tigers and Dodgers are both at 50 - 31. I’m really hoping the Tigers can keep it up. It’s good for baseball.

 

[GonePlaid]

Have y'all noticed what the Rays are doing lately?

As a blue Jays fan, yes.

Holy heck Sonny Gray just put up one hell of a line in the Cardinals 5-0 win over Cleveland:

Have you been to the stadium brewery? I enjoy a Blue Moon occasionally. I always like to hear about the fan experience in any baseball park, major or minor.
