Colorado Rockies

Yeah, they get at...

the Royals, and home against the Rockies.

So it's a good place to be.

It's a good way to

Even if they went 6-0, they have to hope the White Sox go 2-4 against the Royals and

Rockies.

They needed an extraordinary amount of help that was not going to befall them.

And even, like, I actually saw the Sportsnet ticker.

And I'll tell you, once, when and if they beat Boston, if they were to get out of the Wild Card Series, I will feel so much better.

Again, we could be playing the Rockies, we could have the 27 Yankees, and I'll be concerned about the Wild Card Series.

If you get past that, then I'll be feeling much differently.

But I don't know, as of right now, it feels weird that the playoffs start a week from today.

But Colson, next year is a big prove-it.

season for him because if he has another lack of contact and walks to not support his tremendous power, he could be a trade candidate to a team, you know, like the Rockies, for example, or a rebuilding team that is willing to give a guy, you know, a second chance because then, you know, you're going to trade Colson to make room for Rock Cholowski or Billy Carlson.

But Vargas, you should make sure you've got him wrapped up, you know, through at least age 32.

Because you can move him to first base eventually if Mune doesn't work out.

That's why they've got to take care of business against Kansas City.

Clinch in Kansas.

Get that wrapped up and then see where you're at on Friday because maybe a bullpen game, maybe even two bullpen games work really well against the lowly, lowly Rockies.

But my main answer is get this playoff spot wrapped up in Kansas City.

And I wrote a story yesterday in The Athletic about – just the overall, his growth and development as a manager, because it's two different scenarios.

The Colorado Rockies and the Atlanta Braves are two different organizations, and you just need to look at the championship history to really understand that, right? So it was a completely different animal for them, and like you mentioned, he also had to deal with so many injuries at the beginning.

You had to deal with those guys, and that also coincides with just the way you needed to be able to focus on your staff, and even so now, I think he's doing such a great job right now with...

Having to manage the bullpen and the pitching staff with their 6-7 starting man rotation for them to be able to get through.

I mean, if you look

at this Rockies team.

This is how they've done as of late.

They got swept by the Yankees.

The Cincinnati Reds, and it's not just that they're bad.

Third worst run differential in all of baseball behind only the A's and the Rockies.

That's bad.

There was an expectation for this team.

We have to watch very carefully as starting tonight, the Chicago White Sox go to Kansas City to play the Royals.

After that, they go to face the greatest team in the major leagues, the Colorado Rockies.

Oh, Chris.

If Paul DePodesta... goes from costing us a lot of AFC North to costing us an AL Central.

Technically, the Astros are three games back of them.

So granted, like you look at the White Sox schedule, three at the Royals, three at home against the Rockies.

I think they feel pretty good about at least getting to the playoffs.

But I'll tell you what, especially if you're a team like the White Sox that doesn't – that hasn't had a ton of winning success over the years.
