Welcome to our offseason series, Rox or Roll, where we take an overview of each Colorado Rockies player to determine their value and outlook moving forward. Does this player continue to represent the Rox? Or is his time with Colorado on the downswing and he should roll on up out of here. Our second player analysis is first baseman Daniel…...

The Colorado Rockies highly-vaunted Super Bullpen was an absolute unmitigated disaster… right? Of course it was. You’ve heard the stat. You’ve seen the stat. You lived the damn stat. The club spent $106 million on Jake McGee, Bryan Shaw, and Wade Davis who, in return, put up a combined -0.4 bWAR over three seasons. The trio were cut without lasting…...

Following consecutive losing seasons with a core that has gone stagnant after postseasons in 2017-18, the Colorado Rockies are at a definite crossroads when it comes to their roster. Between signing Daniel Murphy as the only significant free agent acquisition during the last two offseasons – then witnessing DJ LeMahieu flourish for another team on an identical contract – and…

Welcome to our offseason series, Rox or Roll, where we take an overview of each Colorado Rockies player to determine their value and outlook moving forward. Does this player continue to represent the Rox? Or is his time with Colorado on the downswing and he should roll on up out of here? We begin where we must, at the top,…...

Since I began writing about baseball in 2013, and for the six years that followed, whenever I was asked the semi-regular question about who was the most underrated player in baseball, I never hesitated in my answer: it was DJ LeMahieu. It was. As the fates would have it, LeMahieu became a free agent after the Colorado Rockies most successful…

It may have been a far cry from the franchise-record 96 wins prescribed before the season, but the Colorado Rockies had their share of highlights during a 26-34 (.433) campaign. While it would have taken just three more wins to get Colorado into the postseason, many felt the disappointing performances outnumbered the positive ones in the pursuit of the club’s…

DNVR Rockies beat reporters Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons battle for supremacy discussing various hot topics pertaining to the inhabitants of 2001 Blake Street as well all the scuttlebutt in and around the game of baseball. Just three months prior, it was questionable as to whether or not Major League Baseball would get started on the 2020 season. Now, we’ve…

After starting the 2020 MLB season like a lion, the Colorado Rockies finished like lambs. The 11-3 loss at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks wrapped up another series loss, the fourth in their last six series with their last victory coming against the Dodgers in Los Angeles at the beginning of the month. Kyle Freeland simply did not have…

In the coming days and weeks, we are all going to be inundated with autopsy reports on the Colorado Rockies’ 2020 campaign, one that started out soaring like an eagle before finally falling down and flopping around on its deathbed like a limp fish. Fingers will be pointed. Blame will be assessed. The same old fights will be had about…...

Displaying a creative and appropriate use of an opener during a 7-2 victory, San Francisco showed Colorado how strategical ingenuity can be the difference in holding onto the final spot as the National League Wild Card and being an also-ran. Reliever Caleb Barager retired the side in order to start the game before starting pitcher Logan Webb took over in…

It was the same sad story for the Colorado Rockies during a 5-2 loss to San Fransisco on Tuesday night. Very good starting pitching. Offensive struggles. Bullpen blunders. Kyle Freeland would not get the decision following his ninth quality start in twelve attempts, nor would his counterpart Drew Smyly. Instead, the loss would go to the bullpen which were without…...

The Colorado Rockies began the final eight-game stretch of the season with one of their best-played games of 2020, securing a relatively comfortable 7-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. Moment of the Game: Diaz Blows It Open In The 5th The game went from good to great for the Rockies offense when Elias Diaz hit a…...

It doesn’t matter how the Colorado Rockies season ends. Well, it does. But it also doesn’t. Winning games is always better than losing games, especially in a sport where no single draft pick can swing your fortunes and won’t even appear in MLB for years to come. And the boys in purple certainly haven’t been doing a lot of winning…...

There’s a new leader in the clubhouse for best starting pitcher on the Colorado Rockies. After lowering his earned run average to 2.10 at Coors Field during the 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, Antonio Senzatela staked his claim for a spot as the 2021 Opening Day starter. Minus two base on balls in the seventh inning that expedited…

After snapping the franchise record for longest single-season streak (5) of scoring three or less runs at Coors Field on Friday night, Colorado started a new one as the offense could only muster five hits in the 6-1 loss to Los Angeles. Understandable as it may have been against Clayton Kershaw who lowered his earned run average to 2.15 and…

While the Dodgers prepared for a bullpen day, the Rockies were caught off guard in a 15-6 drubbing at the hands of the neighborhood bully. Ryan Castellani hoped to earn his first win at home and improve upon a no decision against Los Angeles on September 6 at Chavez Ravine. The 1-2-3 first inning appeared promising until his five-pitch walk…

Coming into 2020, Antonio Senzatela was the most pivotal pitcher for the franchise if the Colorado Rockies were going to contend for a place in the postseason. While the rest of the club has had varying success to the tune of 18-23 in starts by the remainder of the rotation, Senzatela has delivered on that make-or-break season. The 25-year-old grew…

It’s been a flashback to 2018 at Coors Field this weekend. A historic walk-off grand slam by Charlie Blackmon on Friday night. Extra-inning shenanigans on Saturday night. And Kyle Freeland continued his return to form and make believers out of the doubters. However, you know it’s 2020 by the final score: Angels 5, Rockies 2. The game reached its apex…

With their season hanging in the balance, the Colorado Rockies traversed an entire mountain range – ascent, descent and back to its peak – to win 8-4 against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night thanks to a walk-off grand slam by Charlie Blackmon. After solo home runs by Jared Walsh and Anthony Bemboom in consecutive innings against the bullpen’s…
