Helllooo everybody and come along for the ride as I take on the task of rebuilding the Colorado Rockies here on MLB The Show 24.
In this episode, we'll jump into a Player Lock game with Elehuris Montero. After leading the club in home runs and runs batted in last season, Montero has struggled to get going this year and lost a lot of at-bats to Kris Bryant--who was traded away to the New York Yankees during last episode's deadline. With Bryant shipped off, Montero will be leaned on more heavily in the lineup, hoping he can return to last year's form.
Recently slotted into the starting left field role, free agent signing Amed Rosario starts CRUSHING the ball and goes on an absolute tear. We'll take a look at him in more Player Lock action against the Cincinnati Reds. Rosario eventually works his way into the leadoff spot in the lineup as he proves to be a consistent hitter.
Also during the episode, Ryan McMahon is sidelined for a few weeks which forces the Rockies to call up 3B prospect Sterlin Thompson as we'll get in a Player Lock game with him during his MLB Debut. Danny Jansen suffers a season-ending injury which hobbles an already thin group of catchers. Last year's 6th-round pick Ronald Cabrera, the switch-hitting catcher, gets the call-up as he'll fill in as the backup catcher behind Jason Delay for the remainder of the season.
As we sim along through August, the Rockies play tremendous baseball and put together perhaps their best month throughout the series thus far. August includes a bunch of series won, including a sweep against the Yankees. During this stretch, Pete Alonso puts together a 20+ game hitting streak as he flirts with another 40 home run season. With Colorado's elevated play, they find themselves in an extremely surprising spot to make a playoff run in September.
In the next episode, the Rockies will call up two players as part of the September Call-Ups. With only two spots to fill, they have a tough decision to make. Stud CP prospect Ken Hughes, who was acquired from Baltimore earlier in the year makes a lot of sense for a bullpen that needs some bolstering. Maybe Adael Amador is called up to make his MLB debut, although they may hold off until next season. Other potential call-ups include Kyle Datres, Ryan Feltner, and Michael Toglia, among others.
Tune back to see who gets the call to the show and if the Rockies can keep this high level of play going en route to their first playoff berth since 2018.
