Hello Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, Rapids Twitter has had itself a few days. Rabbi and Red spend as little time as possible discussing that loss to Toluca. We analyze the end of the transfer window with Rafael Navarro's late arrival, the departures of Bryan Acosta and Anthony Markanich, and probably Sidnei Tavares. The guys discuss what the rest of the season could look like now that the Pids are out of Leagues Cup. Our expectations are low. Then we discuss the state of media coverage of the Rapids as that seemed to be what the Rapids Community talked about this week. Are Matt and Mark members of No One Good FC?

Are we simps for the front office, too soft, or is sports journalism more nuanced than that? How does the citizen soccer journo balance on the pendulum between their audience and the people and team they cover? Can one be critical and empathetic at the same time? If we called for people to be fired, the team to be sold, and the stadium to be torn down, would anything change? Do fans owe us their money and gratitude with how toxic the the 2023 Colorado Rapids have become?

We discuss. Also, Red references this episode of HTHL if you want to refresh your memories on the incident with that Rapids 2 game.

Hello Rapids fans! This week, Red solo pods for Holding The High Line. He discusses Leagues Cup with the Colorado Rapids losing to Nashville SC followed by Toluca winning in Nashville. He discusses both games, expectations for Monday, and the possible tie-breaker scenarios. Apologies in advance for the migraines. There's some discussion about Rafael Navarro's travel and transfers. Oh and the Coloradans are crushing it at the Women's World Cup.

Hello Rapids fans! This week on Holding The High Line, it's a total waste of time! The guys banter about all the non-Rapids news from the MLS All-Star Game, to Messi, to Ronaldo's hot takes, to the USWNT. Then we recap three scoreless halves all at once. There's an Ask HTHL on expectations for Rafael Navarro. We also talk Alex Gersbach, Season Ticket Renewals, and look ahead to Leagues Cup against Nashville SC.

Also, HTHL is now a part of Bleav, a podcasting network growing in the soccer space. We're glad to be a part of something bigger than ourselves and we'll have more to say about this next week.

Hey Rapids fans. This past Thursday, Matt Pollard sat down with Drew Moor for 45 minutes after his induction into the club's Gallery of Honor the previous Saturday. We discuss that night, his entire Rapids career, some fun behind-the-scenes details from his various memes, and so much more. Not a bad discussion topic or answer from him the entire time. It's a pleasure to make this conversation available to you. Enjoy this interview as some pre-match listening or in the future for a wholesome nostalgia hit.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we celebrate the "Hapids" finally winning a home game. Rabbi and Red get stuck in on the transfer window. We talk Rafael Navarro, Andrew Gutman, rumors, and who we think could be leaving Colorado. Then we discuss being lost in the Timbers Halftime Twilight Zone. It's causing us physical discomfort. We might have to be removed from podcasting activities as a result. Then we review the 2-1 win over FC Dallas and look ahead to Houston Dynamo on Saturday. Oh, and we celebrate Drew Moor. Dude's a freaking legend.

Hey Rapids fans. On this episode of Holding The High Line, we discuss the 2-0 loss at St. Louis CITY. Then we look at the 4th of July game against Portland Timbers and Saturday's match against FC Dallas (featuring Drew Moor's Gallery of Honor induction).

This episode was a bit hurried. Mark's traveling for the holiday. Matt has a hike to get to before it thunderstorms/hails. As a result, Mark forgot to wear headphones and Matt forgot to remind him of that. The audio's a bit off as a result. Matt will sound like an echo at times. Apologies.
