Colorado Rockies game no. 79 thread: Jack Dreyer vs. Germán Márquez
Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers (48-31) will play the Colorado Rockies (18-60) in the first of a three-game series at Coors Field.
Despite looking better in June with nine wins, the Rockies’ 60 losses in the first 78 games of a season are tied with the 1904 Washington Senators for the second-most losses to begin a season in the Modern Era (since 1901), ahead of the 1932 Boston Red Sox (17-61).
But, because the 2025 Rockies are also a very weird team, since June 1, they are among NL team leaders in slugging (.468. 1st), extra-base hits (76, 1st), doubles (37, 1st), triples (10, 1st), hits (180, T-2nd), batting (.260, 3rd) and home runs (29, T-4th)
In what looks to be a bullpen game, LHP Jack Dreyer will start for the Dodgers. He has a 3.18 ERA in 39.2 innings pitched. Included in that are 39 Ks. He also has a WHIP of 1.13. Worth noting, he has not given up an earned run in 22 of his 30 games.
Taking the mound for the Rockies will be Germán Márquez, who continues to find control of his pitches following Tommy John surgery. This will be his 190th start as a Rockie.
Currently, he has an ERA of 6.11 in 73.2 innings pitted. He’s struck out 50 and has a 1.64 WHIP.
And now to the details.

Colorado highway descends into chaos after massive 75-vehicle pileup, amid hazardous winter weather
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
At least 75 vehicles were ensnared in a massive, chain-reaction pileup on a Colorado highway Tuesday, authorities said.
The crashes unfolded in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver, specifically near Loveland Ski Area, and followed a chaotic morning that saw six separate wrecks, mostly along the same highway, according to the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials said the latest crash forced a two-way lane shutdown on Interstate 70, as photos released by the authorities showed emergency crews assisting drivers at the scene.
“The closure is due to a severe multi-vehicle crash on the east side of Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel that took place this afternoon,” the Colorado Department of Transportation (CODOT) said. “There is currently no estimated time for reopening.”

According to the photos, the crashes appeared to have occurred on a snow-blanketed roadway, as winter weather may have created hazardous driving conditions in the mountain corridor.
The area near Loveland Ski Area has also long been known as a major bottleneck on I-70, particularly as ski traffic converges with Denver-area commuters during the spring season.
Officials have not yet reported any injuries.

Earlier in the day, officials reported six crashes during the morning hours, with some involving single vehicles and others multi-vehicle collisions. Five of the crashes occurred on I-70 westbound near mile marker 221, with another reported on U.S. Highway 40.
The sheriff’s office indicated that all of those earlier incidents had been cleared before the major 75-vehicle pileup unfolded nearby on I-70 eastbound near mile marker 216.

An hour later, the authorities shut down both lanes of the highway.
“Due to the severity of the crash, drivers approaching the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel should expect to be turned around for the next several hours,” CODOT said.

Key First Round Buffaloes
There have been several Colorado players who have made a significant impact in the NFL after being drafted in the first round.
The first player to note is running back Byron “Whizzer” White, who was the first-ever Buffaloes player drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft. White had a solid career in the NFL and definitely was worth the selection.
Colorado also had an interesting trend of multiple players being selected in the first round on eight separate occasions, which showed the Buffaloes ‘ ability to develop talent on a consistent basis.
One of the more successful Colorado players in the NFL was an offensive tackle, Nate Solder, who was drafted by the Patriots in 2011 and won two Super Bowls while blocking for Tom Brady. Solder provided consistent protection and was someone that the Patriots could rely on to do his job well.
Former Colorado cornerback Jimmy Smith also had a successful career after being drafted in 2011 by the Baltimore Ravens. One of the highlights of Smith’s career was when he won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens and made crucial stops on the goal line to seal the game. Throughout his career, Smith was always solid in coverage and could make a play when he needed to.
Currently in the NFL is former Colorado Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 2 overall in the 2025 draft. Hunter had a decent rookie season, but it was unfortunately ended early by injury.
Heading into a sophomore season, Hunter will be making a change to cornerback and looks to be a great contributor for the Jaguars on defense while adding some value as a situational receiver.
As indicated by the number of players drafted in the first round from Colorado, the Buffaloes definitely have a history of being able to develop great talent that can be successful in the NFL.
Unfortunately, there are no Buffaloes projected to be first-round picks this season, however next year could be the perfect opportunity with players like wide receiver Danny Scudero and defensive tackle Santana Hopper poised for big seasons.
