Symptoms of the yips returned for Daniel Bard in the World Baseball Classic, but Rockies manager Bud Black isn't worried about his closer. Bard was erratic in his outing for Team USA in the quarterfinals of the WBC over the weekend. In the Americans' 9-7 win over Venezuela, Bard was pegged for four earned runs on two walks, a hit batsmen, a single and a wild pitch while not recording an out. It was the sort of outing that had Rockies fans wondering if the 2020 MLB Comeback Player of the Year, who posted a reliable 1.79 ERA in 57 games with 34 saves last year, is struggling with the same yips that kept him off a big-league mound from 2014-19.
At the end of February, Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., the parent company for AT&T Sportnet, announced the plan for the company to suspend it's regional sports network businesses and transfer the ownership by March 31st. The Rockies and their broadcast are among three MLB teams that are directly impacted by this decision for broadcasting games once the season starts next week. With the uncertainty with the Rockies broadcast looming as Opening Day creeps nearer, let's break down what this means for the team and where you can watch the games once the season does start.
The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a second consecutive loss as they fell 5-1 to the Colorado Rockies in their first visit to Salt River Fields of the year. Monday's matchup was the first and only the Dodgers and Rockies have in Cactus League play. Back from playing with Team Venezuela in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, David Perlata went 0-for-2 with one walk.
