Dodgers pummel Rockies 14-3 as Colorado remains winless in divisional series, on track for franchise-worst record against NL West

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:33:15 GMT

The Rockies are lost in the West.Colorado continued to beeline to a third straight last-place finish in its division, as the Dodgers romped Colorado 14-3 in Thursday’s series finale. It was a defeat that further emphasized the gap between LoDo’s team and the other four clubs in the National League West.With the pummeling at the hands of their big bro from L.A., the Rockies are now 0-6-1 in seven divisional series this year. Their 5-17 mark (.227) against the West is on pace to top the franchise-low of .361 from ’97, and it’s the third-lowest winning percentage of any team within divisional play since the West was founded in 1969.Thursday’s game, delayed one hour and 50 minutes by a hailstorm that pummeled the city a few hours before scheduled first pitch, again exposed the Rockies’ patchwork rotation.Chase Anderson, whose nine earned runs in his last start helped uncork the worst loss in franchise history, wasn’t sharp again as L.A. tagged h...

Keeler: Hail, Rockies ground crew! If Dick Monfort hustled as hard as Colorado staff did during Thursday’s storm, Denver could be great baseball town again.

If Dick Monfort hustled as hard as the guys with the shovels and leaf blowers did Thursday night at Coors Field, the Rockies might be telling Arizona to eat their dust instead of the other way ‘round.“Yeah, we were on The Rooftop (bar) and we were like, ‘There’s no way they’re playing this thing,’” Jordan Francies told me from the cheap seats up in Section 402 while the Rox grounds crew somehow made Coors playable for Colorado-Dodgers after the mother of all hail storms had blitzed LoDo just a few hours earlier.The home dugout at Coors with 2 hours to first pitch … #Rockies #MLB pic.twitter.com/g5dn7kAt8i— Sean Keeler (@SeanKeeler) June 29, 2023“There was this giant pile of hail in right field. (We were like), ‘There’s no way’. We saw some grounds crew guy running through the outfield, and it was just splashing.”Francies and his old college roomie Fernando Careaga watched those grounds guys grind for hours with empathy. And more than a little sympathy.See, a ...

Tennessee law changes starting July 1 will restrict trans health care, fund more school safety

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:33:15 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Months after Tennessee lawmakers finished a chaotic legislative session, many of the most hotly contested laws are poised to take effect Saturday, including measures on health care for transgender children, police oversight, school safety and teacher pay.The new fiscal year begins July 1 in Tennessee, meaning the latest state spending plan and a slew of new statutes will be implemented.This year, hundreds of laws were passed by the state’s GOP-controlled General Assembly and signed by Republican Gov. Bill Lee, who has yet to veto a bill.But the most hectic portion of the monthslong legislative session occurred in the spring, when two Democratic lawmakers were expelled — and another avoided expulsion by just one vote — for participating in a protest seeking stronger gun control laws on the state House floor. After a shooting in March that killed six people at a Nashville school, protesters renewed their call for lawmakers to limit gun access.Ultimately, Republ...

The new league will bring together North America’s most accomplished female players and would likely include the more talented players from Europe and Asia who are already competing in the PHF.Mark Walter’s firm acquired what one of the people described as “certain assets” of the PHF. The league had been locked in a dispute with the rival Professional Women’s Hockey Players’ Association.
