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 – In order for a resurgent rebound in 2020, the Colorado Rockies should – under no circumstances – rely solely upon internal improvement. While they must be aggressive in the offseason, searching the world over for anyone and everyone who might be able to help them fill out the roster in a way that doesn’t let down the talent…...

DENVER – On Tuesday afternoon, approximately 48 hours after the conclusion of game 162, the top brass of the Colorado Rockies – owner Dick Monfort, General Manager Jeff Bridich, and manager Bud Black – spoke with media about what went down with the 2019 season. Questions came in from the local press about many of the concerns that turned consecutive…...

DENVER – Whether we readily admit it or not, we all like a little recognition for the work that we do. And, while he says there is plenty more to do, Tony Wolters has absolutely put in the work. Despite a disappointing season for the Colorado Rockies in 2019, they are likely in store for a fair share of…...

Tony Wolters received the first pitch from starter Jeff Hoffman at Coors Field on Sunday at 1:10 MST, just as 14 other catchers around MLB did so simultaneously on the final day of the regular season. For Colorado, the result of game 162 meant little more than pride and playing out the final nine innings to the best of their…...

DENVER – When a season is filled with silver linings, that usually means that it was mostly comprised of one enormous mushroom cloud of bad baseball. And that is certainly true of the Colorado Rockies 2019 campaign. Both sides. There are a ton of positives to take away from this last place team. Plenty of young players emerged as…...

Phillip Diehl’s first trip to Denver was not an auspicious one. Making his Major League debut against the Chicago Cubs on June 11, the Cincinnati-born left-hander gave up two runs over one inning. The next night, it was an identical pitching line.  Then he nearly caused a brawl after plunking Anthony Rizzo; Chicago decided to retaliate against Nolan Arenado…...

DENVER – If you think the Colorado Rockies are trying to replay the 2018 NLDS this weekend agains the Milwaukee Brewers, it would be hard point to argue. In one of the best all-around games of the season, your pals in purple won a second straight game against the crew that brews through late inning heroics from Sam Hilliard and…...

DENVER – The last time the Milwaukee Brewers suited up for a game at Coors Field, they popped bottles in celebration of a three-game sweep after Game Three of the National League Division Series last October. Nearly twelve months later, looking to do the same with the fate of the NL Central hanging in the balance, the Rockies delivered a…...

The Colorado Rockies dropped the rubber match of their three game series to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday afternoon, once again gaining little traction on offense. After a pair of close games that were decided late, this one had similar notes but was an entirely different tune. A tight contest throughout the vast majority of the game, the big…...

The Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants played each other to a stalemate for most of their second game in the series. Second verse similar to the first. But not the same. Rather than having to wait around for 16 innings and over five hours of baseball, the Giants’ Jaylin Davis put a merciful end to the Wednesday night contest,…...

Before the 2019 MLB season could officially come to a close,  the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants apparently owed us one more marathon of a baseball game. The game featured a combined total of 25 pitchers who worked 16 innings. That is a new Major League record for number of pitchers used in a game, a record that should…

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…

On Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, the Colorado Rockies lost a game to the Dodgers that looked an awful lot like the way their season has gone in general. They hung around with the best in the National League for the first stretch but fell apart in the middle and never recovered in a 7-4 loss that also dropped the…...

Hoping to snap a 12-game losing streak in Los Angeles dating back to June 30, 2018 and avoid breaking a dubious record for the longest such streak in Dodgers Stadium’s 58-year history, Colorado looked to play spoiler with their 36th player of the month. Reinstated before the game from the 10-day IL due to a left groin strain, starting pitcher Kyle…...

The Colorado Rockies came out swinging in their first game of this road trip against the Los Angeles Dodgers, taking an early lead and playing some solid baseball until the wheels came off the wagon in a bottom of the fourth that decided the game. The visitors took the lead in the top of the first with back-to-back home runs…...
