Shohei Ohtani is back at Coors Field for the first time since the 2021 All-Star Game. He’s still waiting for his first home run in Denver – excluding all those during the Home Run Derby onto the Rooftop – and if he’s ever going to hit for the cycle, it could be this weekend. Will Shohei be staying in Los…
As strange as it may sound, Germán Márquez is already in his seventh season with the Colorado Rockies and is still just 27 years old. It may also come as a surprise to realize that he’s the third-longest tenured member of the active roster behind only Charlie Blackmon and Carlos Estévez. Last season, Márquez had a 5.56 ERA through his…

Germán Márquez, Ryan McMahon, Trevor Story, C.J. Cron and Brendan Rodgers all stood out in 2021 as player who provided a lot of joy to fans of the Colorado Rockies in 2021.

When the 2021 All-Star Game moved from Atlanta to Denver, a major opportunity opened up for quite possibly the last person you’d expect: Colorado Rockies bullpen catcher Aaron Muñoz. “It was one of those things that they had asked us if we were willing to catch (the Home Run Derby) and at first, I said, ‘Yeah, absolutely,’ Muñoz said about…...
It’s a classic statement that’s been uttered countless times over and it’s yet to be proven inaccurate. Whenever you go to the ballpark, you’re guaranteed to see something you’ve never seen before.

Pull the plug. The 2021 Home Run Derby at Coors Field will not be using a humidor to store baseballs. And that might right a wrong as far as it concerns a certain Colorado Rockies’ slugger.

Robinson Cano hit a sharp ground ball to second base for the final out in the second inning in Anaheim to finish the day for Ubaldo Jiménez. Since that day in 2010, the Colorado Rockies have yet to be represented by another starting pitcher in the All-Star Game. Until now.

Roughly 13 times each season, Nolan Arenado returned from a road trip and settled into his place downtown located within walking distance of Coors Field.
