Now that there’s been a series at Coors Field, and we’ve heard a few of the Colorado Rockies’ walk-up songs, it’s time to judge…
Shout out to the Colorado Rockies Twitter account, and the PR folks over there who just tweeted out the walk-up songs for the Rockies this summer.

So, it’s only fair to go through each and every one of ‘em, yah?
And, you know, vote on them, yah?
A few things to think about regarding walk-up songs: batters are going to get, what, maybe 15 seconds? So the song must hit quick and be memorable (like Ryan Spilborghs’ old song).
Pitchers might get a minute and a half or two minutes, so their songs can build a little bit more.
But, pitchers: no Metallica unless you’re truly a bad-ass. Guys coming out of the bullpen throwing 89 mph probably can’t rock AC/DC, or, you know, anything unbecoming of their stuff and ‘pen role.
Anyways, whatever. It’s Monday. I’m bored. Giddyup.
