Brooks Pounders News
The Colorado Rockies demoted relief pitcher Brooks Pounders to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for Scott Oberg in the bullpen. Pounders has been atrocious this season, posting a 7.63 ERA in 14 appearances. He's lasted this long simply because Colorado's bullpen is so bad that Pounders has just blended in. It's not clear why Pounders keeps getting so many chances in the majors since the 7.63 ERA he's posted this year has actually been the best of his three seasons, but hopefully, Colorado will find a way to live without his living embodiment of a dumpster fire moving forward.
In a blowout loss on Saturday, Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Brooks Pounders was one of the few to escape unscathed against the rolling Arizona offense. Unfortunately, he still got plenty of attention after he hit D-Backs star Paul Goldschmidt with a pitch. Goldy murdered Rockies pitching all weekend, so many thought Pounders made the move on purpose. After the game, Pounders used his own poor performance as an excuse though, claiming, "I don't have enough time [in the Majors] to be drilling people on purpose." Considering he's carrying a 7.11 ERA with a 1.66 WHIP, that actually seems reasonable.
Colorado Rockies reliever Brooks Pounders got called in on Friday to help hold a slim 6-5 lead over the Dodgers. He instead faced four hitters, got zero out, and demolished all hope in Denver. Pounders put the first two men on with a single and a walk before giving up a three-run homer to Chris Taylor. He then left a runner on second from a double before giving way to Scott Oberg. Pounders has surrendered runs in four of his last seven appearances, and while his value is limited at best in non-holds leagues, he shouldnt be owned in those either, as he clearly does not have what it takes to get major league hitters out this season.
