Trading De La Rosa would be a mistake for the Rockies. The Colorado Rockies season is over. No one is arguing that they have any chance anymore. With another season in the books well before the All-Star break, the Rockies are in a position to have the rest of the league pick through their roster and try to find a…...
The Rockies acquired Brett Anderson for Drew Pomeranz. The chorus from Colorado Rockies fans is growing louder. The grumbling has hit a new level. Fans want Dan O’Dowd and the rest of the front office removed from 20th & Blake. The front office deserves plenty of criticism, and I have certainly been vocal in my opinion that change is extremely…...
Alex White never realized his potential in a Rockies uniform. The Colorado Rockies dealt starting pitcher Alex White, one of the main pieces of the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, to the Houston Astros for late-inning reliever Wilton Lopez. Lopez is a 29-year-old who owns a career ERA of 3.14 since 2009. He went 6-3 with a 2.17 ERA with 10 saves…...
Drew Pomeranz has talent, but was below expectation in 2012. If someone would have said before the Colorado Rockies season began that Drew Pomeranz would have notched only two wins in late September, no one would have believed it. The lefty went five strong innings on Wednesday night in another rain-delayed Rockies game. He walked three batters, one semi-intentionally, but…...
Pomeranz couldn’t find his location on Friday night. The Colorado Rockies seem to have their minds in a different place. The way they have been playing, they certainly can’t be thinking about playing baseball. On Friday night, in front of fans more eager to watch the post-game fireworks show than the terrible product on the field, the Rockies looked as…...
Adam Ottavino may have hit his wall on Sunday. If it’s been said once, it’s been said 1000 times. The Colorado Rockies pitching theory simply doesn’t work. It might work in one particular game. It might work over the course of a week, but the reality is, it simply doesn’t work over the course of a season. Maybe the Rockies…...
***For my regular audience (all three of you), I took a few days off from Rockies Review as I traveled to Minneapolis with friends to check out Target Field over the weekend. I always strive to cover every single game, and have come close to that in the four years that this blog has been in existence, but without the…...
Tyler Colvin has been a great addition to the Rockies. As much heat as Dan O’Dowd takes, there is one thing that is certain. His trade of Ian Stewart and Casey Weathers to the Chicago Cubs for Tyler Colvin and DJ LeMahieu was a huge win for the Colorado Rockies. On Monday night, the Rockies got another huge game from…...
The Rockies are going to have to give time to their young arms. Nothing was too special, or too unexpected from Sunday’s Colorado Rockies 5-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Cole Hamels pitched like an ace who will be highly coveted as a free agent in the offseason. Drew Pomeranz pitched like a rookie with a ton of promise, but…...
Drew Pomeranz is a bright spot in the Rockies 2nd half. Every bit of criticism that the Colorado Rockies have received has been well deserved. It is extremely difficult to find any positives in this horrible season. In fact, the truth is, the Rockies probably deserve even more criticism than what blogs, newspaper articles, and local radio shows have thrown…...
Jarrod Parker didn’t listen when he was told how tough Coors Field is. What did you expect? The Colorado Rockies finished their six game homestand winless, going 0-6 against a formidable Angels team and then a terrible Oakland A’s team. It might go down as the worst homestand in franchise history. On Thursday the Rockies were done in by bad…...
Dan O’Dowd should have gone with youth. Let’s face it. The Colorado Rockies are in the middle of a throw-away season. The Rockies aren’t going anywhere in 2012. They know it, their fans know it, everyone knows it. The sad part about it is that the front office knew it before anyone else did. The reality is, when general manager…...
Coors Field has become an excuse for the Rockies. The Coors Field factor is alive and well. Sunday, as the Colorado Rockies were swept at home by the Los Angeles Angels in a 10-8 affair, the park seems to be playing much like it did in the late 90’s. Watching young pitchers crumble on the mound at 20th & Blake…...
Alex White continues to mature as a starter. The Colorado Rockies struggles continued as the team lost to the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 on Friday night at Coors Field. It was a night that featured CJ Wilson dominating the Rockies offense and the typical struggles of a young starting pitcher in Alex White. The loss was one in which the…...
Josh Outman struggled on Wednesday night for the Rockies. Maybe the performances from Alex White and Christian Friedrich were juts a mirage. On Wednesday night the Colorado Rockies returned to form, getting a terrible starting pitching performance from Josh Outman. It was the second straight poor performance from a starter in as many nights. The Rockies dropped the game 6-1.…...
Friedrich looks like the real deal. His focus is incredible. Who says the Colorado Rockies have a starting pitching problem? No one is saying that after Christian Friedrich dominated the Arizona Diamondbacks, helping the club to a 4-0 win. Maybe the Rockies starting pitching issues were simply because the talent on the mound was pitching 60 miles south of Denver…...
Alex White dominated the Dodgers on Sunday. Sunday’s are supposed to be a day where the fans go out to the ballpark, enjoy the weather and the scenery. Most of them, however, have learned not to expect a win on the Sabbath. These Rockies seem to find ways to lose games on Sunday. Alex White apparently didn’t get the memo...
Alex White kept his team in the game with a 6 inning performance. On Wednesday night in Miami, the Colorado Rockies won 8-4, giving them their first win in three months. So, it wasn’t three months, but that is what it seems like. In reality, the win is just their fourth since embarking on a west coast road trip that…...
The Colorado Rockies may be at rock bottom. Can it get any worse than this? How bad can this team really be? A day after playing one of the worst games in franchise history in a 9-7 loss at Coors Field, the bumbling Colorado Rockies were shutout by veteran and former teammate, Kevin Millwood on Friday night. The pitching got…...
Friedrich impressed in his debut. With the season hanging in the balance, the Colorado Rockies were forced to lean on a player who had never had his name on a Major League lineup card. With as much pressure as can come in a early May start, Friedrich’s debut went off without a hitch. The former first round draft pick, who…...
