Rapids Media Day, Sam Vines Rumor, Preseason Schedule, RIP Joan Dobrzynski

Holding The High Line, a Colorado Rapids Podcast

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week, Holding The High Line opens the show with heavy hearts. We podcast just hours after news breaks that Rapids super fan Joan Dobrzynski passed away. We reminisce about her time as a fan of the club and what she meant to the players and Rapids Community.

Then Rabbi and Red talk Rapids Media Day. We discuss whether Keegan Rosenberry has shown he should be the new captain. We introduce the concept of Something To Prove FC. Get as excited as the new guys as we talk Zack Steffen's knee, Djordje Mihailović humor, Chris Armas going off on the Open Cup, and more.

We have reason to believe Sam Vines will immanently be announced as rejoining the Rapids. The boys discuss what went wrong at Royal Antwerp, what him and other players coming to the club having failed(?) in Europe mean, and whether Armas will bring the Vines back back to Commerce City.

The guys then discuss the preseason schedule as the Rapids return to Querétaro and Orlando. They've replaced four pitches at DSGP. There's concerns about how much information we'll get while the team's out of town. Lastly, we take listener questions. We discuss contract info, No. 6 prospects (Kellyn Acosta anyone?), season expectations, and center forward depth. Also, we officially had a listener in Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba.

During the show, we bring up Mark Goodman's and John Babiak's articles on Joan.
