Colorado Rockies announcer Jerry Schemmel laid off for second time by iHeartMedia

Colorado Rockies radio announcer Jerry Schemmel was caught up in iHeartRadio layoffs for the second time in five years.

"Freeland kind of lost his mind."

"It’s not lost on me how few people have ever called play-by-play of a MLB regular season game."

"I learned to handle disappointment,"

Colorado Rockies announcer Jack Corrigan opens up about the challenges of broadcasting a historically bad season and how he stays motivated.

"They are just an organization that is a decade plus behind right now."

"By BlueChew. Chew it and do it."

"Unreal creativity for the magic TV box."

This announcer jinx came to fruition in no time.

A fan is suing the Colorado Rockies after a foul ball injury, blaming the team’s poor performance for a distracted and unsafe environment.

"I’m not to write negative things about the Rockies, according to some people."

"We're not talking about this."

"But guess what? Here at Dodger Stadium, he's pitched phenomenally well."

"I don’t want to hear it."

Not a great start to the season for the Rays...

"It's brutal!"

"What is that? That is funny."

Sometimes nothing works better than an announcer jinx.

"I remember that clear as day."

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"I tell ya, Kris Bryant is one of the greatest bank robbers of all time."

"It's just way too early, if you're the umpire, to do this."

"There's no case to be made for the fan interfering with Dylan, is there?" "I don't think so."

Colorado Rockies games will be able to be streamed in-market with no cable or satellite subscription in 2024.
