The Rockies’ scoreboard operator put up a prescient message about heartbreak before a blowout loss

It’s surprisingly good advice for both life and baseball

The Colorado Rockies had a pretty solid chance to pick up a home win on Tuesday with the Washington Nationals in town.

Despite facing a lineup led by Juan Soto, the Rockies were coming off a sweep of Cincinnati and facing Washington starter Erick Fedde and his 4.68 ERA. Yet even with Colorado a home favorite at Tipico (-145), some around Coors Field seemed to know an eventual 10-2 loss was on the horizon.

Specifically, the Rockies’ scoreboard operator, who served up a very prescient message shortly before first pitch that tried to provide some perspective on life, love and, well, baseball, too.

Ooof.

I mean, as far as life lessons go, this is certainly a worthy one to keep in mind. As far as baseball goes, it’s probably a sign to just enjoy being at Coors Field on a weeknight. Which was definitely the way to go since the Nats scored three runs in the third inning, another in the fourth and three more in the fifth. Also, Juan Soto did this:

Baseball, man, it’ll break your heart. At least the Nationals were cool about it.

Notre Dame product Trey Mancini to compete in Home Run Derby

The Irish will have representation for the return of the Home Run Derby.

For the first time, Notre Dame will have representation in Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby. That representation will come from Baltimore Orioles slugger Trey Mancini. The Irish baseball Twitter account sent its congratulations his way:

Mancini has 14 home runs this season and is among the major-league leaders in RBIs with 52. He joins a field that currently has Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angels Angels and defending champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets. The field will be rounded out with five more participants before the event is held July 12 at Coors Field in Denver. It will serve as a tuneup for the All-Star Game the next day.

Mancini is in the middle of quite the comeback season after he missed 2020 to be treated for Stage 3 colon cancer. However, the Orioles are dead-last in the American League and pretty much have no further use for Mancini’s services. It’s likely he gets moved at or before the trade deadline, and there are a few teams that could benefit from him.
