Rockies Journal: Bud Black deserves a better hand than one he was dealt

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 02:19:17 GMT

Bud Black deserves better. He’d never say it, but it’s true.Given a healthy, talented team, Black is a winning manager. He proved it his first two years with the Rockies, getting them to the postseason in 2017 and ’18, the only back-to-back playoff appearances in their lackluster history.The Rockies had a winning road record just three times in their first 30 years, in 2009 under Jim Tracy (41-40) and under Black in ’17 (41-40) and ’18 (44-38). He helped young pitchers such as German Marquez and Kyle Freeland reach their potential. The starters’ ERA in 2018 was 4.17, the second-best in franchise history, trailing only the 2009 rotation (4.10).If owner Dick Monfort and the front office had had the guts, foresight, and skills to add some key players at the trade deadline in ’18, the Rockies would have won the National League West for the first time in franchise history. If they had done things differently following the 2018 season — D.J....

There are more alternatives to reducing blind spots than adjusting or removing the headrest: Roadshow

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 02:19:17 GMT

Q: Your reader referred to the head restraint as a headrest. They are not for comfort, but are an integral part of the restraint system designed to reduce head and neck movement in a collision. Altering the size, or worse, removing it could have serious consequences. She should learn to back up using the three mirrors and camera system installed in most vehicles.Ted Atlas, CampbellA: You’re one of several people concerned about safety issues if a car’s head restraints are changed.Q: Hopefully, when Sue Kayton modified her car’s headrest, she did not increase the risk of whiplash injuries. As for removing headrests on rental cars, this is a bad practice. Even if hit from behind by a slow-moving vehicle, one is still at risk without a headrest. One solution is to increase the viewing area by moving the driver’s seat back as far as possible while still being able to reach the pedals, and moving the passenger seat forward. Also, adjust your mirrors. There are mir...
