Colorado had a historic weekend of sports, minus the Denver Broncos embarrassing loss. The Rockies played some of their best baseball of the year, CSU Rams helped entertain during CU Buffaloes domination of headlines and the Rapids pulled off an unexpected win on a dubious day in the team's history. How is the Rapids ownership situation similar to that of the Rockies? Are Stan Kroenke and Dick Monfort all that similar? Do boycotts and walkouts really bring about change? Patrick Lyons hosts The DNVR Rockies Podcast and welcomes Duane Brown of DNVR Rapids and ALLCITY Network art director to figure out the impact of Lionel Messi in MLS, the identity of the coolest member of the Blake Street Bombers (Larry Walker, Andrés Galarraga, Vinny Castilla, Dante Bichette or Ellis Burks) and the final prospect of the week for the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats.

Should the Rockies try to re-invent the Blake Street Bombers? This week we bring together a roundtable to discuss, plus hear from Vinny Castilla and the son-of-a-Bomber, All-Star Bo Bichette. A lot packed into this week's show...

Why can't the Colorado Rockies hit consistently? What happened to the days of the Blake Street Bombers and Coors Field being a nightmare for opposing pitchers? We go right to the source and get the opinions of one of those Bombers, Dante Bichette, on this week's episode.

All of the details on the 21 draft picks from this year's draft! We are also joined by Cade Denton, the 6th round out of Oral Roberts. The guys share their favorite picks from Day 2 and Day 3 of the draft, highlighting players like Cade Denton, Braylen Wimmer, and Aidan Longwell. He's genuinely impressed with the Rockies' draft selections, noting the abundance of workable tools in every pick. Cade shares a little bit of his story we discuss his first impressions of the Rockies organization and explore how the Arizona signing event went for him. Did he personally know any of the other draft picks before coming to AZ? Cade shares his thoughts and experiences about the whole drafting process, from the hard work and confidence he put in to the anticipation of where he might be selected. Denton's performance as a reliever at Oral Roberts has been nothing short of remarkable, boasting a 1.25 ERA over 107.2 innings in the last two years. As we explore the possibility of him transitioning to a starter, we uncover his thoughts on the matter and whether it's something he desires or has been discussed. With his impressive track record, including being named the Stopper of the Year and earning multiple accolades from Summit League coaches, we ask him about his experience in the College World Series and how it prepared him for the professional ranks. During the podcast, we also take fan questions, diving into Cade's experience playing in the Northwoods League and who he's most excited to face in the future, whether it be a fellow teammate or an MLB star. And of course, we wrap up with some Rockies trivia! Denton gets quizzed on the history of the Blake Street Bombers, the first home run at Coors Field, and the only Colorado pitcher to throw a no-hitter. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blake-street-banter/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blake-street-banter/support

MLB.com writer Manny Randhawa recently visited the Jack Vita Show to discuss a plethora of topics, including the Colorado Rockies' lingering struggles, Kris Bryant's performance in the second year of his seven-year contract with the team, and the surging Arizona Diamondbacks, who now have a 3.5-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.   Among topics discussed was Manny's incredible faith story. Manny grew up with an abusive father that is a malignant narcissist. From a young age, he was taught by his father that there is no God. Manny grew up an atheist, despite attending church and a Christian school. His parents placed him in a Christian school, believing that it would keep him from being involved with the wrong crowd and getting into trouble.   Manny says that he has had two heart surgeries: the first, a physical one when he was a young child. The second was a spiritual one, where God replaced Manny's heart of stone and gave him a heart of flesh.   In this episode of the Jack Vita Show, we focus solely on Manny's incredible testimony and faith story. How does one go from being an atheist to a born-again Christian? Logically, how does one go from believing there is no God to not only believing in God, but dedicating his life to serving Jesus Christ? Manny shares his amazing story with Jack, as they discuss faith, apologetics, what attracts people to atheism, and much more along the way. It's an episode you won't want to miss!   Follow Manny on Twitter (@MannyOnMLB) and buy his book, The Blake Street Bombers, on Amazon. The Blake Street Bombers chronicles the Colorado Rockies' lineups of the mid 1990s, which featured sluggers Dante Bichette, Ellis Burks, Vinny Castilla, Andres Galarraga and Larry Walker.

MLB.com reporter Manny Randhawa visits the Jack Vita Show for a lively discussion about the Colorado Rockies, the latest news from around Major League Baseball, and his Christian faith.   Manny has written for MLB.com as a national baseball writer and Colorado Rockies beat reporter since 2016. In his first visit to the Jack Vita Show, he weighs in on the Rockies' 2023 season and general direction. What exactly is the Rockies' plan, and where are they going? Why have they found themselves in last place in the National League West, just a few years removed from possessing a strong infield nucleus of Nolan Arenado, DJ LeMahieu and Trevor Story?   Just over a year ago, the Rockies signed former National League MVP and four-time All-Star Kris Bryant to a seven-year, $182 million contract. Through his first 50 games in his second season with his new team, Bryant is slashing .263/.346/.719 with five home runs and 17 RBI. It's early, but Bryant hasn't played up to what many expected him to, especially with Coors Field as his home park. Manny weighs in on the Bryant signing, his contract and early struggles. Plus, shortstop Dansby Swanson signed virtually the same seven-year deal with the Chicago Cubs, that Bryant signed with the Rockies. If you were the Cubs, which contract would you rather have? Jack poses this question.   Manny and Jack take a close look at the National League West, which the Arizona Diamondbacks now lead, as they are tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Can the D-Backs win the division? Back in 2018, the Diamondbacks and Rockies were both competing for an NL West division title in the final month of the season. Five years later, one team finds itself in first place, while the other is in last place. Manny and Jack break down the division and discuss the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres as well (0:00 - 1:03:00).   Later on, Manny opens up about his faith journey, in which he transformed from an atheist to a born again Christian. What led Manny on his path to Jesus Christ, and how has his life changed in the time since he first became a Christian? He also discusses growing up with an abusive father, undergoing heart surgery, and much more (1:03:00 - END)!   Follow Manny on Twitter (@MannyOnMLB) and buy his book, The Blake Street Bombers, on Amazon.

Dan was a radio host before this, and in this interview he discusses his journey from radio broadcasting to working in the packaging industry. Dan explains that he always wanted to be a baseball player, but after high school he realized it wouldn't be a possibility. He then decided to pursue communications and as a child he used to use karaoke machines and cassettes. Dan then reached out to the host of the interview, and the host was surprised to see a list of segments sent in. Dan explains that he still likes to call Barry Plastics by the old name, Barry Global. Overall, the interview is about how Dan got from radio broadcasting to the packaging industry. The speaker and the interviewer discussed their respective college experiences. The speaker had a major in radio broadcasting and ran a radio station called WRFC. The interviewer was a baseball fan and asked the speaker who his favorite player was growing up. The speaker revealed his favorite player was Mike Piazza of the New York Mets. The interviewer then shared his own sports background, mentioning he was a fan of the San Francisco Giants and their Blake Street Bombers in the late 80s and early 90s. The speaker concluded the conversation by wishing the interviewer luck with golf, which was now his favorite sport. The speaker talks about how he got his start in radio broadcasting. After graduating college, he was hired by AEP Industries for an inside sales position in their custom films division. He quickly realized he wanted to get into radio, and had some pending offers when he decided to work his way up. He learned a lot in the custom films division and was eventually able to make the transition to radio broadcasting. The conversation between the two individuals centered around the journey of one of them from graduating college in December 2002, to working the night shift at Walgreens, to then being in outside sales for AP from 2013 until mid-2016. It was then announced that Barry was going to be acquiring AEP, which was a distributor for AEP Machine and Hand stretch Filmed. This acquisition ended up bringing a lot of synergies together and was quite impressive with the amount of product lines available.Timestamps0:00:00Interview with Dan Peregene: From Radio Host to Territory Sales Manager at Barry Global0:02:34Heading: Reflections on College Radio Broadcasting and Sports Heroes0:06:53Heading: AEP Industries Inside Sales Position: A Unique Story of Transitioning to On-Air Talent0:08:52Conversation Summary: Exploring Packaging and AEP Machine and Hand Stretch Film Distribution0:10:43Heading: Exploring the Benefits of Shrink Bundling Film with Barry Global Territory Sales Manager0:14:23Heading: Exploring the Benefits of Shrink Film in 20230:16:09"Exploring the Benefits of Polyethylene Packaging with Barry Packaging"0:23:25Exploring Solutions to Reduce Carbon Emissions Through Plastic Packaging0:25:14Conversation with Dan Kostka, Senior Technical Sales Representative at Cox Polymers0:27:23Interview with Daniel Peregin, Packaging Industry Expert and Author of the 2022 Impact ReportHighlightsWe're just there to pick up the package and get it from point A to point B. But with Cox, that allows that film to get more in strength and that allows opportunities to get that material reduction in place at that point. Because lighter weight, if you look at the Impact 2025, which a lot of companies are trying to pursue and get to PCR is obviously big on there, right? Post consumer recycled material where we're taking items that are now basically being reused again into the film. They're busted down into raw resins and then being reprocessed back into the film. But another thing is being able to reduce the amount of material that it takes to wrap the package.There's a lot of good things going on in plastic packaging. A lot of good things. And over the years, what's become a popular thing is co extruded films. And let me touch base with that. You got your monolayer structures and your coax structures, and with co extrusion structures, you could put multilayers into the film. If you and I are trying to see a package, we're never going to know it's a coax film or a monolayer film.Lot of the trends. Like, I have people who comment on TikTok and on LinkedIn and whatnot and people are really good about pointing out problems, but not with proposing solutions that would be better than what they think, right? And so I think plastic and especially things like stretch film and bundling shrink and that kind of stuff, that's very functional, but provides a function that can also contribute to being part of reduction in carbon emissions along with circularity.And the company purchased, I think, almost 28% of recycled or increased their purchasing of recycled content. And if you take a look at the overall whole, 79% of reusable is in the packaging. So it's quite impressive. So I would definitely recommend everybody taking a look at that Impact 2022 Report. I would say, Adam, one of the things that I find most interesting is the processes of manufacturing into this with plastic packaging and maybe some fun facts that people really didn't know about it. But one of the fun facts about plastic packaging is that in terms of what we're and this is just Barry as a whole, this is Shrink Film and our consumer packaging division, your Health and Hygiene division, there's an abundance of it. But with plastics we found it took about six times less water usage to produce products, two times less with energy and two times less with greenhouse emissions. So it's quite impressive when people see this and I think it's really enlightening to really read on. So I would recommend people taking a look at that. It's available on the website, no doubt.And one of the things that kind of struck me was interesting is that Barry was able to, according to the study, achieve 1% product weight reduction. And you think of 1% as being a small number, but when you're shipping hundreds of thousands of pounds a day, or if not more, I mean, that's a big number. When you add throughout the whole year, that's a significant number. Billion pounds of that is 10 million pounds of material that's not there anymore. So it is quite impressive.

Trevor Story has not yet made a decision about the Rockies qualifying offer, but Eduardo Rodriguez has made up his mind: he's joining the surging Detroit Tigers. On this day in 1992, Colorado signed Andrés Galarraga to a one-year deal and the next day they assembled the rest of their club in the Expansion Draft. The Rockies won the day acquiring Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette, as well as 12 total players that appeared in the 1995 postseason. Also, they would draft three catchers that went on to become managers.

We start off the episode with an ode to the Colorado Rockies Bark in the Park, and what a cool event it is. Speaking of dogs, it's been a dog of a season for the Rockies. Julie and Drew weigh in on why the season feels different than past years. Drew had a chance to sit down with Rockies starter Kyle Freeland who opens up about how special it was to follow the Blake Street Bombers as a child. Kyle also fills us in on how he ended up being a pitcher, even though he was a pretty good hitter growing up. Kyle also admits why he has a chip on his shoulder, and the fact that he still gets nervous before starts. We finish the show off with a game of ten questions. The highlights include what goes through Drew's head when some of the Rockies relievers come into the game lately, how much he would pay to meet Abe Lincoln, and his unusually pleasant interaction with Barry Bonds.
