You Can Do Whatever The Fuck You Want at Coors Field

On Monday night, the Braves beat the brakes off the Rockies 14-4 thanks primarily to NL MPV favorite, Ronald Acuna, doing that thing he does where he smashes any baseball thrown anywhere near the strike zone.

Here’s what Acuna did to the Rockies on Monday:

5 at-bats
4 hits
4 runs
5 RBIs
1 homer
1 walk

MVP.

And naturally, a fan wanted to spend some time with one of the best baseball players in the world so, well, he walked up to him to hang out during the 7th inning.

In any other stadium, the team security would’ve ripped these fans in half. By the time you even saw them, a security guard would have one in a sleeper hold squeezing the soul out of his body while another security guard piledrives the other fan on the warning track.

Not in Coors Field. At Coors Field, you and your buddy can hug and even shove a Top 5 baseball player before a few guys tickle you into submission.

But that’s the security you get when you’re a last-place team with no actual plan or desire to improve.

If the owner doesn’t care and the front office doesn’t care and the coaches don’t care and the players don’t care then why would the security staff care?

I imagine there are mile-long lines at the concessions and when you finally get to the cashier, they get your order wrong because they don’t care either.

The Colorado Rockies are now 49-82 this year. They’re 32 games out of first place. They have the worst run differential in the National League.

Bud Black just reached his 1,000 career game managing the Rockies and signed a contract extension earlier this season.

This team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2018 and for some reason, their manager has ultimate job security. That’s how you know your team is cooked.

When you aren’t even close to winning championships and no one in the building seems to give a shit, you might as well run onto the field and try to get a photo with Ronald Acuna.

The whole organization gave up.

No one cares.

Everyone go to Coors Field and run onto the field if you want.

Shrug.

But reinforcements are coming. Keep an eye on Hunter Goodman: future All-Star.

Meet the new MiLB HR leader, Hunter Goodman 💪

After spending most of his summer mashing for @GoYardGoats, the @Rockies prospect is up to 34 long balls on the year after a 2-homer night for the @ABQTopes: pic.twitter.com/d5hOWU60Ed
