Colorado RockiesvsAthletics
COL 23/ATH 9
Things to say
Rockies hammered the Athletics 23-9 in Las Vegas.
01
opener
Did you see the Rockies game? Twenty-three runs. In Vegas, of all places, Colorado's bats finally woke up.
02
key player
Whole lineup ate, but the heart of the order had to be circling the bases all night - you don't put up 23 without three or four guys leaving the yard.
03
hot take
Athletics manager went to the pen way too early and it snowballed. Once that bullpen door opened, it was batting practice.
04
deep cut
Rockies came in 27-45 and still dropped 23 on the road. Tells you everything about where the Athletics' pitching staff is right now.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day energy - curious if Colorado carries any of that into the next series or if it's a one-night thing.
The recap
Rockies went absolutely nuclear in Vegas, hanging 23 on the A's in a game that stopped being baseball somewhere around the fifth. Colorado's bats were leaving the yard and finding gaps all night — when a team that's been 27-45 drops nearly two dozen on you, the manager went to the pen way too early and it just kept bleeding.
The heart of the order did damage top to bottom, and the A's never had an answer. Brutal getaway-day vibes for Oakland — or Vegas, or wherever they're calling home this week.
