The Rockies’ scoreboard operator put up a prescient message about heartbreak before a blowout loss

The Colorado Rockies had a pretty solid chance to pick up a home win on Tuesday with the Washington Nationals in town.

Despite facing a lineup led by Juan Soto, the Rockies were coming off a sweep of Cincinnati and facing Washington starter Erick Fedde and his 4.68 ERA. Yet even with Colorado a home favorite at Tipico (-145), some around Coors Field seemed to know an eventual 10-2 loss was on the horizon.

Baseball, man, it’ll break your heart. At least the Nationals were cool about it.
