Let me introduce you to Boston-based startup UmpScores; this will change the way we watch baseball. For so long, such a fundamental part of the game – the calling of balls and strikes – has been relegated to an odd kind of ambiguity. Imagine if the NFL refused to even try to accurately measure yards or the the NBA…

DENVER – Nobody has a crystal ball, so projecting how young baseball players will eventually turn out can oftentimes feel a bit like throwing darts at an ocean-sized board. One such Rockies prospect makes the other 29 MLB teams consider what could have been. There is still a chance we all look back one day on the career of Sam…

DENVER – The result of every Colorado Rockies game counts… until it doesn’t. Unfortunately, plenty of fans and analysts around the game seem yet undecided on this issues. Sure, there has been no effort to move the club (thank God) but the folks in charge of talking on TV and/or voting for awards to celebrate the very best our…

With roughly 15,000 high school baseball programs around the U.S. and over 400,000 players, only two percent of the best talent in any given hometown get the opportunity to continue their playing career at a Division I college. From there, those gifted enough to have a college career – whether at a junior college or NAIA school – will…

DENVER – The worst kept secret in Major League Baseball this season is that something is clearly, and significantly, different about the baseballs. The Wall Street Journal recently published an exposé in which they detail the discrepancies that have led to an all-time home run record for a single-season on pace to be absolutely shattered. Set to pass 6,800 dingers…

America’s pastime, like the country herself, has always been a beacon for what we can be when we embrace change. It is built into the very fabric of our Constitution so that it can be amended to reflect change. Some of our first collective words were a promise to forever strive to be more perfect. One of the greatest…

Nobody ever brought a baseball glove to the ballpark because it just completed their outfit. It’s a device meant for one thing: catching baseballs. And if your family happens to have season tickets in a spot just beyond an outfield wall in fair territory, like Reif Faulkner’s does, you could easily find yourself in an actual position to impact the…

New York, NY – On Sunday, the late Roy Halladay will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame to be enshrined with the class of 2019 at 25 Main Street in Cooperstown, NY. In becoming the first player posthumously elected by the Baseball Writer’s Association of American since Roberto Clemente in 1973, he will be the only one…

The last three baseball games could not have felt much worse for the Colorado Rockies. But they absolutely could have been worse. Losing three in a row to the team with the best record in baseball in their house is frustrating but to lose all three in walk-off fashion is a downright gutpunch. Throw in that each game featured…

ATTENTION: This is an audio story, meaning that BSN Denver subscribers can listen to it if they don’t have time to stop and read it in its entirety. We would love to know what you think about it in the comments. Enjoy!

Sunday’s comeback of epic proportions, a five-run rally against rival Arizona in the bottom of the eighth – the first such comeback in nearly five years – was precisely what Colorado needed. Not just because it was against another NL West squad or because they avoided a sweep. But it was how they strung together six at bats without trying…

DENVER – David Dahl and Ryan McMahon have been activated ahead of a seven-game homestand which is huge and timely since they’ll be facing several RHP this week. The Rockies’ offense should gain a boost with a return to Coors Field and the upgrade of two bench players for two starters. Dahl was hitting better than anyone on the team…

Baseball is back in Denver. Baseball is back where the air is thin and the purple mountains are majestic. Baseball is back where a mile above the sea, you can see for miles and miles. Baseball is back in the bars and down the boulevards and in the barbershops and bodegas of Blake Street. Baseball is back in LoDo… where…

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – As the cool morning winds of Scottsdale swirled and the hip-hop music blared, the King of Clutch stood at the three-point line, needing to make his next three shots to win the tournament. In his typical fashion, he managed to shock everyone with something nobody should have been surprised by, sinking all three for the win. And…

ALBUQUERQUE, NM. – The Colorado Rockies and their Triple-A affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes have extended their partnership for another two season beyond the next two that were already inked, the parties announced on Monday. They will not be splitting their bond. The half-life shall go on. It all comes down to a shared chemistry. It’s radioactive… radioactive. There will continue to…

As it turns out, even a man in line for more a quarter billion dollars can still have a go-to t-shirt.

Denver – In the Colorado Rockies 25-year history, the postseason has been a dream more often than not. But it has been a reality the last two years under the direction of manager Bud Black whose specific abilities to reach and teach young pitching appears to have been among the most important factors for the suddenly consistent contenders. As such,…

The 2017 Colorado Rockies, from the perspective of almost everyone outside of BSN Denver, were a complete shocker. The national and most local perception was that they were not expected to be contenders but a dazzling (and again surprising to some but not all) debut of Trevor Story and the emergence of a few young starters including Jon Gray and…

Before the first full-team practice on Monday featuring all fifty-nine players invited to Colorado Rockies Spring Training camp, each one walked into the clubhouse at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick with a different tale to tell from their offseason. Many played an additional week of baseball in October, from another Game 163, to the Wild Card Game and a three-game…
