Wednesday began the official start of MLB All-Star Game voting and the Colorado Rockies have nine players on the National League ballot. The last two years, Colorado had only one selection to the Midsummer Classic: Germán Márquez (2021) and C.J. Cron (2022). Since teams towards the top of the standings typically have more All-Stars than those at the bottom, this…
Jason Jennings pitched nine seasons in Major League Baseball and following a trade to the Houston Astros in 2006, he never returned to pitch at Coors Field again. As the 2002 National League Rookie of the Year Award — the only winner in 30 years for the Colorado Rockies — he probably deserved a respite from appearing in the least…
The Colorado Rockies may be one of only three teams to have not won a Cy Young Award since 1993, but plenty of the game’s greatest pitchers have passed through Denver over the last 31 seasons. Two such recipients came through LoDo in the past three days with a fourth starting on Saturday. This includes a pair of three-time winners…
In 2022, the city of Denver rallied around the Colorado Avalanche as they won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 21 years. This year, it’s the Denver Nuggets receiving the support as they charge toward the first NBA Championship in franchise history. Count the Colorado Rockies among the millions in the region who want the Larry O’Brien Championship…
Jon Gray and Kyle Freeland have so much in common that its only fitting they line up across from one another in a historic matchup for the Colorado Rockies organization. In consecutive years, the pair were selected with top 10 draft picks by Colorado: Gray at no. 3 from the Univ. of Oklahoma in 2013 and Freeland at no. 8…
The Colorado Rockies have been on a horrendous streak of injuries in 2023 that has ravaged their 40-man roster. Five players are on the 60-day injury list with a sixth, Germán Márquez (Tommy John surgery), coming on Friday following season-ending Tommy John surgery. Five of the club’s top seven starting pitchers to start the season are gone from the rotation:…
Despite the fact it’s been a team effort to turn around a 6-17 start to their season, the Colorado Rockies have been a lot better since Brenton Doyle was added to the roster. Since his callup on April 24, the team is 12-7, including three road series wins in as many ties. “I like to try to bring as much energy…
A nearly seven-year journey began on June 9, 2016 when the Colorado Rockies used the fourth-overall pick in the MLB Draft to select an 18-year-old pitcher out of St. Thomas Aquinas HS in Overland Park, KS. On Sunday that odyssey had a happy ending when Colorado promoted Riley Pint to the big leagues. He had finally reached the promised land.…
The Colorado Rockies have upgraded the quality of their farm system in recent years and one of the biggest explanations for this improvement has been their work during the first-year player draft. After selecting toward the back of the first round following consecutive postseasons in 2017-18, the 2023 MLB Draft marks the fourth-straight year that Colorado will be selecting early.…
The game plan for the Colorado Rockies going into the 2022 season was to keep the seat warm at shortstop for Ezequiel Tovar in hopes he could take over at the start of the following season. It was a best-case scenario that required a lot from the young Venezuelan who had already made sizable progress the year before. Tovar played…
Twice this season, Germán Márquez stepped off the back of the pitcher’s plate and descended the mound with a look of dread on his face that seemingly exhausted the hopes of his teammates. Though the news of Tommy John surgery for Márquez cuts short his 2023 — and puts in jeopardy his place with the Colorado Rockies for 2024 –…
When it comes to weather and Springtime, April showers bring May flowers. In baseball parlance, there’s no real equivalent about the upside for having the worst record in the National League and struggling to win at home through the first full month of the regular season. For the Colorado Rockies, their 9-20 record (.310) projects out to a 50-112 record.…
When Mike Moustakas steps to the plate in the bottom of an inning, it’ll often sound as if the home crowd is displeased with him. They’re not saying “Boooo,” they’re saying “Moooose.” Now that he plays in Colorado, Moustakas is the second-most famous professional athlete nicknamed Moose after Avalanche right winger Mikko Rantanen. For the hockey-loving Moustakas, that’s fine by…
It’s not often that a Renaissance man plays professional baseball for the Colorado Rockies, let alone can do a remarkable impression of Jim Carrey. The Harvard University graduate — one of only seven big leaguers to ever come out of Harvard and the first with the Rockies — has a degree in environmental science and public policy. The move to…...
When an errant throw to second base by catcher Elias Díaz traveled into the outfield allowing Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians to reach third base, the Colorado Rockies were charged with their 18th error of the season on Tuesday night during their 5-1 win. An error by David Villa kept the San Francisco Giants tied with the Rockies for…
The start to Noah Davis’ career is a prime example of how fulfilling one’s dreams can often take a circuitous route. “It’s always kind of been left of center – I think is a good way to put it,” the 25-year-old shared with DNVR Rockies. “But I’m extremely grateful for every step that’s come along the way.” Take his Major…
The 2023 Colorado Rockies (5-13) are off to the worst start in the franchise’s 31-year history through 18 games. Owner Dick Monfort thought his team might be no better than .500 going into the season; however, GM Bill Schmidt feels there’s plenty of time to turn things around in spite of the struggles that have led to a seven-game losing…
The trade this winter between the Colorado Rockies and the Pittsburgh Pirates was not the first of Connor Joe’s career. It was, in hindsight, one the hardest he’s had to deal with during his 10 years as a professional. “I had been traded a couple of times. And they say like the first time it’s the toughest right? But this…
When José Ureña lowered his earned run average from 15.43 to 14.40 in his second start, the pyrrhic victory had many looking for alternative options for the starting rotation as only seven other times had a Rockies starter ever performed worse to begin their season. Colorado’s no. 3 starter was much more solid against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday,…...
The bullpen’s league-worst 5.48 ERA is also a little misleading, as the Rockies have five relievers with ERAs of 6.75, 6.75, 7.71, 8.10, and a whopping 9.95 pushing that average so high. On the opposite end of that spectrum, there are also guys coming in at 1.23, 2.16, and 2.45. Some real quality work. It’s just nerve-wracking for the team to not know which end of that spectrum they’re getting to ensure the W sticks.
