Dan O'Dowd is out as Rockies GM.

They're promoting from within the organization because they wanted to make the most Rockies move possible.

O'Dowd was in charge for 15 years and got them to the playoffs twice.

And they've had at least one superstar level player his entire tenure.

Yeah, I had forgotten about that. Now that I'm remembering they've also had a habit this year of missing opening at bats thanks to commercial breaks. I still don't think that makes them any worse overall than TBS, but it's at least a very close tie.

Straight up skipping the first AB almost every inning is way way worse than lovely announcers and graphics

Ultimately, good announcing is good announcing. People like to bring up Len Kasper using advanced stats to show how good he is. And he is a really good announcer, but he'd be really good regardless of what stats he's using.

Yadier Molina has caught well over 10,000 innings in his career. His CS% over that time is 45%. That would be 2nd best in the majors in 2014, trailing only Yadier Molina.

In my now stupid "Friedman isn't going anywhere" post I mentioned the ownership stake. So I wonder how everything is going to shake out in regards to that.

Bringing in Delmon against a left handed starter is definitely the right move.

Delmon has a better arm than Cruz but this isn't RF, and Delmon is super terrible at every other aspect of fielding.

Old people get mad about Denkinger and young people maybe joke about it but mostly don't care about a thing that happened when they didn't exist yet or were toddlers.
