Mark and Matt Jr. on the “Not your dad’s Rapids” hologram stream in 44 years: “Vozinha Odysseus Yapi II is set to start for the USMNT at this summer’s World Cup. We brought our dads on to talk about that time a Rapids player started at the World Cup.” "Dads, how good as Lucas Herrington?”

“Surely some unknown kid from the A League isn’t going to play much for this Colorado Rapids team” said the rabbi, whose skills of prognostication had clearly departed him from the good old days when he once suggested that the Rapids should acquire Jermaine Jones. And then they did.

Remember preseason when Rabbi had Lucas starting for R2 on his depth chart and Red thought he’d be the backup to Noah Cobb. And then Lucas told Matt Wells “I’d love to get some minutes.” Lol

The Rapids tonight before they sell Lucas and then are just a trailer park going up against SKC with Mo Salah on August 15:

Colorado Rapids Superdraft pick Mitchell Baker recently gained his Indonesian citizenship, and scored a hat trick on his debut with the national team. He'll be with Georgetown for another fall campaign.

Wouldn’t equate the two. Colorado would need to spend that money well and timely to improve upon losing Herrington. PS really only accountable to Demoff. His future with the club remains to be seen. Selling Herrington and spending that money poorly would be bad.

#AskHTHL Will a $20M sale of Lucas Herrington allow Padraig Smith to keep his job, contrary to all other strong indications that he shouldn’t?

Would throw out the Toronto game. Every team gets a mulligan where the lose their heads with MLS refs. The aggressive style of play has its risks. Do think they’ve been a little too aggressive this year. M. Navarro has done well riding that line/dark arts. Kosi, Josh, Hamzat could learn from him.

#AskHTHL Rapids lead the league in yellow/red cards by a healthy margin. Of the 4 games where we've been issued a red, we lost all 4 by 1 goal. Has the aggressive style gone too far, such that it's costing us points?

#AskHTHL What's the biggest issue for the 2026 Rapids - Lack of discipline, not enough talent, or something else? What is one realistic change that could lead to winning the Open Cup?

Lots going on in American soccer post World Cup in part II of the 2026 season. I updated this starter pack with active Bluesky posters whose coverage focuses on/includes the game in North America go.bsky.app/6MjSiK6

Which direction are the 2026 Rapids headed in?

MLS enters the Clausura, with the Colorado Rapids in the familiar position of being 'on the bubble' for the playoffs. First, how did this happen? Second, what will they between now and October?

#askhthl why SHOULDN’T we try this. Hamzat at the 6, Paxten at the 8, Reyna at the 10. Forget money, KSE has it to spend. That could be a really fun midfield to watch.

The best chance either team has of winning this game is subbing on Chucky Lozano. And at this point, it’s more likely the Rapids trade for him mid game and sub him on.

202616: AI Ruined Our Week Hello Colorado Rapids fans. MLS is back. The Pids are almost back. We get caught up Ask HTHLs. Also, AI ruined Red's week and maybe his time on a certain social media site. bleav.com/shows/holdin...

2026E15: World Cup Round Up The Rapids aren't back just yet. But we are. Red tells a bunch of stories from his whirlwind World Cup side quests. We give Lucas Herrington his flowers. We pour one out for the USMNT. bleav.com/shows/holdin...

Finally got through our back log of listener questions.

Here’s a thought experiment I’ve been mulling: would THE RAPIDS be better off this season with Djordje over Pax? Clearly DM is a better creator and goal scorer, but not as dynamic on the ball and a subpar defender. I lean yes but our counter press would suffer. #askHTHL @rapids96podcast.bsky.social
