Rockies Journal: 100 losses, Kyle Freeland’s quote and two emerging stars

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:59:10 GMT

Some observations as the Rockies enter the final third of their season.• A few weeks ago, manager Bud Black asked me why I kept writing about the Rockies being on track for a 100-loss season. I told him I thought it was a relevant measuring stick regarding the direction of the team because the team has never had 100 losses. I’m not sure he bought my argument.As I write this, the Rockies own a 43-66 record and are on pace to finish 64-98, which would tie the 2012 club for the worst mark in franchise history. The Rockies face a difficult August schedule — the Brewers, Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Rays, Orioles and Braves are all good teams — so a 100-loss season still looms.• The Rockies are averaging 32,343 fans per game at Coors Field. They are essentially on pace to match last season’s average of 32,467. Given that the Rockies are in the midst of their fifth consecutive losing season, it’s remarkable how the fans keep flocking to Coors. I weighed in on that topic two we...

49ers camp: Ji’Ayir Brown eager to hunt with NFL’s most aggressive defense

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:59:10 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Safety Ji’Ayir Brown ran in hot pursuit of the 49ers’ ball carrier Saturday when he came upon an unlikely lead blocker: Trey Lance.Rather than blast Lance into oblivion — or into the sideline or further down the depth chart — Brown pulled up under the 49ers’ ordinance to not contact quarterbacks and thus allowed Lance to set a basketball-like pick.“Ah, you’ve seen that?” Brown said with a laugh after practice. “You don’t want to touch any quarterback in practice. I definitely did have to use a lot of restraint on that.”Come next Sunday, Brown can unleash his fury in his NFL debut, when the 49ers play their preseason opener at the Las Vegas Raiders, who also will host joint practices on Thursday and Friday.“That’s just my game. I think that’s everybody’s on the team,” Brown said of his physicality. “This is the most aggressive defense in the league, so I have to live up to that standard with t...
