For Walt Weiss, the benefit of a bolstered bullpen is having the luxury to plan ahead. The Rockies were 19-0 this season when taking a lead into the eighth inning. On Saturday, that played to plan again — until it fell apart. But in relying on rookie right-hander Carlos Estevez in a high-leverage situation, Weiss tipped his hand to how the Rockies might move forward with their relief corps. Colorado carried a 5-4 lead into the eighth Saturday before Estevez — who was called upon for a third appearance in three days — gave up three runs in a six-run inning as the Giants rallied late for a 10-5 victory. Estevez’s entry was decided before the game. “With the lead, we’re going with Estevez,” Weiss said of the 23-year-old who was called up in late April.

  • Keeler: Sorry, Miro. Avalanche star Cale Makar is still NHL’s real Stanley Cup hero
    Denver Post, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 10:40 AM

    Spare the wreaths. Hold the psalms. You come to bury Cale Makar, you better come correct. Lordy, the yapping. The peanut gallery on X tapped out 150-character obits, a troll at a time. ESPN spent much of Avalanche-Stars Game 5 speaking of Makar as if he’d retired at age 25. For several hours, the greatest defenseman of his generation — of several, now that you mention it — was getting his mugshot cropped for the 2024 NHL Awards show’s “In Memoriam” segment. Here lies CALE MAKAR’S CAREER, 2018-2024, RIP.

    Denver Post, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 08:00 AM

    Two of Colorado’s most popular ski resorts are seeking approval from the U. S. Forest Service to build new gondolas out of their base areas, with construction possible during the summer of 2025. Breckenridge wants to build one from the Peak 9 base to an angled mid-station, where a new on-mountain beginner area would be developed, before continuing upward to terminate near the top of the existing A-Chair.

  • Former Denver Bronco opens outdoor guide company where people of color are welcomed and represented
    Denver Post, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 08:00 AM

    Long before former NFL offensive tackle Bobby Massie was added to the Denver Broncos roster, he and wife, Angel, visited Colorado to enjoy the great outdoors. During football bye weeks, the couple often hired a guide to help them explore the state’s best and unsung fly-fishing waters. While the scenery always wowed them, the guiding services did not.
