The verdict is in. Troy Tulowitzki is a terrible human being. On Monday morning, Bob Nightengale’s piece for USA Today revealed a scathing interview that he had with the former face of the Colorado Rockies. Seven months removed from his lonely perch at the end of the visitors dugout at Wrigley Field, Tulowitzki remains bitter and upset with the…...
He might be the forgotten member of the Colorado Rockies rotation, but he also might be the key to the club becoming respectable. Jordan Lyles and the Rockies avoided arbitration on Wednesday, signing a 1-year $2.95 million deal. The deal makes sense for both sides, giving Lyles a modest raise after an injury-shortened season. The righty was acquired by…...
The Colorado Rockies may be in discussions with their former relief pitcher-turned general manager Jerry Dipoto about a deal that would send Mark Trumbo to Coors Field. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports broke the news on Tuesday that the Rockies have had discussions about the first baseman/corner outfielder. The Rockies, after non-tendering Justin Morneau and outrighting Wilin Rosario to…...
In 2013 he was nearly an All-Star. A week ago he was removed from the 40-man roster. Today, Rex Brothers was traded to the Chicago Cubs in a move that signifies that the Colorado Rockies are focused more on building the farm system then fielding a winner at the big league level immediately. The Rockies received 19-year-old right handed…...
Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado won his third consecutive Gold Glove at third base.
If it ain’t broke. Don’t fix it. That’s a joke, the Colorado Rockies are certainly broken. However, their decision to keep their entire coaching staff intact wasn’t as bad of a decision as it looks like from the outside. The Rockies are perennial losers. They need to change the culture. There is no doubt about that. However, changing the…...
It wasn’t the news that many Colorado Rockies fans were hoping to hear. When it was announced that Rockies manager Walt Weiss was going to meet with general manager Jeff Bridich on Tuesday afternoon, many Rockies fans were waiting to hear some good news. That news, for many fans, was that Bridich wanted to complete the task of putting…...
And with that, the Colorado Rockies and their 2015 season came to an unceremonious end. Ironically, the Rockies scored seven runs in the top of the 9th inning to beat the San Francisco Giants 7-3 in the season finale. The comeback happened when Corey Dickerson smashed a three-run homer to tie the game while the Denver Broncos were driving…...
As Nolan Arenado trotted around the bases in the top of the 2nd inning in San Francisco, it was easy to reminisce about his breakout season. The home run helped start the scoring as the Rockies won 9-3 to start their final series in a great way. The Colorado Rockies, in an overall horrible season, have had the benefit…...
Remember going on vacation last time? Remember when all that work that you had every intention of getting done before you headed out? Remember when 3 pm rolled around and you realized there was no way to get everything you intended to get done accomplished? Well, that is probably exactly how the Colorado Rockies feel. The only difference is…...
In a season in which a team loses more than 90 games, every bright spot is overshadowed by the dark cloud that is the terrible record. However, the bright spots still need to be highlighted. The ones that catch the most attention are the obvious ones. Nolan Arenado, who hit his 40th double of the season on Wednesday night,…...
The Colorado Rockies like to torture their fans. If it isn’t with a false hope that accompanies every April, it is forcing fans to stay up late to watch an 11-inning meaningless game in late September only to see them lose in predictable fashion. When Brooks Brown started the bottom of the 11th with 11 straight pitches out of…...
The torch of the Colorado Rockies has officially been passed. Dante Bichette passed the torch to Larry Walker, Larry Walker passed the torch to Todd Helton, Todd Helton passed it to Troy Tulowitzki, and as the 2015 season comes to a close, it can be officially stated that Nolan Arenado has picked up the torch that Tulowitzki left on…...
What might have been? Or maybe the question should be, what could be? As Carlos Gonzalez circled the bases, perhaps for his last time in Colorado Rockies purple and black, it was hard not to ponder just how much fun it could be if the Rockies win on Saturday night had any weight behind it in the standings. Imagine,…...
The story writes itself. The predictable ending is so ridiculous it has become comical in a forgettable season for the Colorado Rockies. With a 4-2 lead, Chad Bettis, the Rockies starting pitcher headed to the showers after a stellar outing. The six innings of seven hit baseball, giving up two runs put his team in a great position to…...
For a team that is going to lose close to 100 games, notching their 90th loss on Wednesday night, the Colorado Rockies are definitely full of a bunch of guys that are easy to like. Most teams who lose 90 games or more in three consecutive seasons have a marketing nightmare on their hands. They have a team that…...
The Colorado Rockies got to see the exact opposite of where they are heading. When Golden-native Mark Melancon closed out the Rockies in the 9th inning, giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-3 win, the Pirates were in celebration mode. They successfully clinched a playoff spot and with that out of the way, set their sights on the suddenly struggling…...
You can’t get milk from a rock. On Sunday, Nick Groke of the Denver Post published a piece highlighting an interview that Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich had with MLB Network Radio. In summary, Bridich dodged a question about whether or not the future of the Rockies will include Walt Weiss. Bridich gave an answer, but it wasn’t…...
Well, that was a terrible experiment. The Colorado Rockies signed Kyle Kendrick, a starting pitcher who had been non-tendered by the Philadelphia Phillies, to a one-year contract worth $5.5 million. He was brought in to be an innings-eater, a guy who had the durability to get through innings and help a young pitching staff in a year in which…...
Celebrating the little wins is a step towards being happy. While fans in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Houston and Chicago are eagerly anticipating an October that could bring excitement for their baseball team, fans of the Colorado Rockies are spending their Saturday night celebrating that their team won’t lose 100 games. It truly is a tiny victory, but two months…...
