Keeler vs. Saunders: If Rockies fire manager Bud Black, then what?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:20:46 GMT

Sean Keeler: You enter a Yugo in the Daytona 500, the Yugo gets lapped in said Daytona 500, and this is somehow the driver’s fault? Joe McCarthy couldn’t win with this Rockies roster. John McGraw couldn’t win with this Rockies roster. So after a 25-1 loss to the Angels, the temple somehow needs to fall on manager Bud Black’s head? Now as much as we enjoy chewing the fat with the skipper, we get it — Buddy ain’t no Bobby Cox. Jurickson Profar should never hit higher than seventh in a serious batting order. But then again, this isn’t a serious roster. Ownership and the front office have tag-teamed to parallel park the Rox into one of the tightest spaces in baseball purgatory. The end result? A clubhouse torn between high-priced veterans who can’t stop getting hurt (Kris Bryant, Charlie Blackmon) and kids who need to play (Ezequiel Tovar), play a lot, learn to fail at the big-league level and, most importantly, learn how to recover from that failure while still keeping their head...

Denver airport scores RTD EcoPasses for restaurant and retail workers who rely on transit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:20:46 GMT

Nearly 3,000 people who work at restaurants, shops and kiosks at Denver International Airport have received access to cheaper or subsidized transit passes this year under an EcoPass deal that received formal approval Monday from city leaders.Some concessionaires who operate businesses in the airport had provided workers with passes to use the Regional Transportation District’s A-Line train or buses to get to work. But others couldn’t afford it — or were too small to qualify for the lower per-worker EcoPass rates given to large employers.So DIA negotiated an arrangement with RTD in which the airport serves as a master contractor for EcoPasses and then passes the cost along to operators who hold 74 concessions contracts.The Denver City Council approved the one-year, $1.9 million deal as part of a block vote, but the arrangement actually took effect Jan. 1. Concessionaires paid $632 per employee for 2023, a rate that slashes up to $442 off what they would pay on their...
