The Colorado Rockies are on the edge of 100 losses for the first time in franchise history following a sweep at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. The takeaway: opportunities for youngsters like Gavin Hollowell, Brenton Doyle, Ezequiel Tovar, Nolan Jones and even non-rookies like Brendan Rodgers and Justin Lawrence are plentiful and worth more than a ballgame during this…
CHICAGO, Ill. – Though they set a new franchise record with their 99th loss of the season on Sunday and were officially eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago on Sept. 6, the Colorado Rockies are getting a second-hand experience of what a postseason race is all about. With the toughest strength of schedule in the second half, including series against…
CHICAGO, Ill. – Time flies when you’re a rookie shortstop setting records on nearly a daily basis for the Colorado Rockies. One year ago today, Ezequiel Tovar was making his Major League debut and getting a base hit in the first two pitches he saw as a big leaguer. On Saturday, he was firmly entrenched in the Rockies lineup for…
CHICAGO, Ill. – For a 25-year-old player in his rookie season, Nolan Jones has a lot of reverence for the history of baseball, especially in the Windy City. “Growing up, watching baseball — this is obviously an iconic park — in 2016, I was drafted by the Guardians and got to watch Kris Bryant and the Cubs win a World…

Colorado had a historic weekend of sports, minus the Denver Broncos embarrassing loss. The Rockies played some of their best baseball of the year, CSU Rams helped entertain during CU Buffaloes domination of headlines and the Rapids pulled off an unexpected win on a dubious day in the team’s history. How is the Rapids ownership situation similar to that of…
The return of the Blake Street Bombers did not disappoint in any manner. Not during the pre-game celebration of the Colorado Rockies’ 30th Anniversary, on the field in a pair of wins over the San Francisco Giants and certainly not in a media availability with the club’s first icons. Larry Walker, Ellis Burks, Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette gathered in…
The postponement of Thursday’s Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants game is creating questions about the weekend, but the answers could be more surprising and hopeful for the denizens of Coors Field.

Kris Bryant homered for the second time in as many days against his former club, helping the Colorado Rockies win the three-game series over the Chicago Cubs. Rox received four home runs, a season-high, from their offense, including Nolan Jones’ 16th, putting him in a tie for fifth-most by a Rockies’ rookie. How did Pete Crow-Armstrong end up performing? Was…
Few duos have been quite as exciting to watch play defense as Colorado Rockies rookies Nolan Jones and Brenton Doyle. The pair are having about as much fun as any outfielders in the game thanks to their throwing prowess that has combined for 25 outfield assists. With Doyle’s 10th outfield assist on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs, he and Jones…
For the first time in 51 days, Kris Bryant’s name appeared in the starting lineup for the Colorado Rockies.

The 28-year-old has been out since April and will miss the remainder of the year, as well as the start of the 2024 season, following Tommy John surgery in May to repair his damaged UCL. According to Jeff…
National League West is not an easy division, certainly not for the Colorado Rockies who simply haven’t had an answer this season and entered with zero series wins against the division. Arizona Diamondbacks played like a team vying for a place in the postseason and the San Francisco Giants, the Rox opponents this weekend, are in a similar boat. Kyle…
The numbers for Kyle Freeland this year may appear to have taken a dip below his career norms, but he’s been arguably one of the most valuable players to the Colorado Rockies this season given all the injuries to the starting rotation. One of more troubling dips for Freeland at the center of the downturn has been his fastball velocity.…
Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks both had to work on Labor Day, but the Dbacks at least came away with a victory while the Rox got one game closer towards 100 losses. Peter Lambert and Hunter Goodman provided the silver linings, but everyone is still thinking about Daniel Bard and Justin Lawrence. Who’s the closer for 2024? Who’s the starting…

The difference this year is that the Rockies are on pace to lose more than 100 games with the dog days of summer having beaten them down more than normal. Their 7-20 record…
Colorado Rockies head towards 100 losses with a 1-5 homestand against Atlanta and the Toronto Blue Jays. Bullpen struggles, starting pitching surges and the Young Rox excite at Coors Field. Will Daniel Bard pitch again in 2023? Will the starting rotation need a replacement for Austin Gomber? Why is Brenton Doyle getting more national media attention? The DNVR Rockies Podcast…
