Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:41:39 GMT

Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.Pose a Rockies — or MLB — related question for the Rockies Mailbag.With the Rockies off to a terrible start — 7-17 entering Tuesday’s game at Cleveland — I wasn’t surprised to receive questions about manager Bud Black. Here are three of them:Why is the media so soft on Bud Black? If any other coach in Denver professional sports had the kind of start the Rockies have had, you’d be calling for the manager to be fired. The team can’t pitch, hit or field. Who is accountable? Bring back Clint Hurdle.— John, DenverWhy haven’t Bud Black, (bench coach) Mike Redmond and (pitching coach) Darryl Scott been fired yet? If you get swept two series in a row shouldn’t heads roll?— Daniel, DenverHow many games until Bud Black is made the scapegoat and is fired? As a 30-year Rockies fan, I’ve seen this play out one too many times. The (manager) is to blame for ...

Opinion: I’m ready to trade in my electric car. Here’s why

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:41:39 GMT

I love my electric car. I really do.I love how I never have to buy gas. I love how it glides quietly up the street. I love that it has so much pickup that I can easily blow past gas-powered muscle cars if I want to. I love having stickers that allow me to drive solo in the HOV lanes. I love that routine maintenance consists of little more than rotating the tires.But after three years, I am thinking seriously of trading it in for the gas-powered hybrid plug-in version.Why? Because as much as I love my car, I loathe that I can’t travel around California, a state has led the electric car revolution, with confidence that I can get a charge when I need one.Yes, there are significantly more public charging stations than when I first got behind the wheel of my Kia Niro EV in January 2020. But there are also significantly more electric vehicles vying to use them — and still vast areas of the state without a single fast charger. Chargers are more reliable now, but still not quite good enough...

Walters: Lengthy California water rights battle moves into the Legislature

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:41:39 GMT

After its first committee hearing, Assembly Bill 1337 was amended last week, which could be the opening salvo of a monumental political and legal war over who controls access to water in California – an issue that stretches back to the state’s founding in 1850.If enacted as now proposed, AB 1337 would overturn a key state appellate court decision and give the state Water Resources Control Board the legal authority to curtail diversions from rivers – even by those who now hold the most senior water rights, those gained prior to the state asserting authority over water in 1914.The legislation, carried by Assemblymember, D-Oakland, would bolster a years-long drive by environmental groups to enhance natural river flows by reducing agricultural diversions during periodic droughts.The stage was set eight years ago when, during one such drought, then-Gov. Jerry Brown declared an emergency and the water board attempted to impose restrictions on pre-1914 rights holders, contending that there...
