We mean that in the best way possible.
Nobody has ever accused Colorado Rockies outfielder Brandon Barnes of taking anything with him when he leaves the baseball field each night. Go ahead. Ask around. We’ll be waiting.
Barnes doesn’t get the playing time that star players such as Nolan Arenado and Carlos Gonzalez receive, but when he does get called upon by Colorado manager Walt Weiss, you can bet that the second-year Rockie is going to make at least one memorable thing happen. Whether it’s a big pinch hit, a diving catch, running the bases with reckless abandon – whatever it is, Barnes does it with maximum effort and energy.
