Rockies have a little fun at the expense of Dodgers catchers remarks

Dalton Rushing was not included in the lineup for Sunday afternoon's game against the Rockies. Many speculate that this decision is linked to his comments made following their loss to the Rockies on Saturday night.

His comments seemed out of touch with the Rockies, given their recent success. Who would seriously speculate that the Rockies were cheating? He was initially doubtful about their first-pitch success, but a little research reveals they are one of the top free-swinging teams in the league.

The claims are actually comical when you think about it, considering the Rockies scored a total of four runs to win Saturday night's game.

So what did the Rockies do? They had some fun at the expense of the comments.

Rockies players Hunter Goodman, Edouard Julien, Troy Johnston, and Jake McCarthy celebrated by mimicking a fishing theme, casting their reels whenever they reached base in Sunday afternoon's game. They won the game with a final score of 9-6.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts dismissed Rushing's claims, stating he observed some poor offspeed pitches and found nothing unusual about what he witnessed. He also stated that Rushing's absence from the lineup on Sunday was not related to the comments.

Colorado's victory on Sunday afternoon marked the team's second straight win against the Dodgers, a feat they hadn't achieved since 2022, the last time they won a series against this opponent. The Dodgers came into the series having won 11 of their last 13 games against the Rockies.

The Rockies are poised to secure a series win on Monday night with veteran left-hander Jose Quintana on the mound, who has a lifetime 2.32 ERA against the Dodgers in 15 games (12 starts). His most recent appearance against the team was in July last season, where he allowed four runs over six innings while playing for the Milwaukee Brewers.
