This is always such a funny week for hockey. You are smack dab in the middle of the dog days of the season, everything just feels like it’s on autopilot, and everyone is ready for a break. That said, what waits on the other side of the All-Star break is an all-out sprint to the end of the season. The…...
Los Angeles may not have been a better host this year than Denver in 2021, but the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby were electric as always. Is there a problem with Clayton Kershaw starting for the NL squad? Could C.J. Cron feasibly have won the ASG MVP Award? And how much did tickets cost for the worst seat in…
A passing rain shower during batting practice were the only dark clouds on Tuesday for the 91st MLB All-Star Game won by the American League, 5-2. And while the three home runs hit during the affair seem paltry in comparison to the 309 hit during the previous night’s Home Run Derby, there was still traffic on the base paths and…...
It may have been only 23 years between All-Star Games, but it sure as heck felt like a century since all eyes were firmly focused on Denver for its baseball. In 1998, it was the Blake Street Bombers – OF Larry Walker, 3B Vinny Castilla and OF Dante Bichette – representing the Colorado Rockies in the Midsummer Classic, leading the…...
Bang. Zoom. Straight to the moon! With 309 baseballs planted in various sections and tiers of Coors Field, slugged over a combined 25 miles in distance, New York Mets’ Pete Alonso came out on top in the single-elimination tournament. In doing so, he becomes only the third player to win consecutive Derbys, joining Ken Griffey Jr. (1998-99) and Yoenis Céspedes…...
First, it was Larry Walker in 1998: member of the Colorado Rockies organization representing his club during the MLB All-Star Game held at Coors Field. Now, it’s prospect Michael Toglia starting at first base on the corner of 20th and Blake Street for Sunday’s Futures Game. For good measure, the slugger playing at High-A Spokane homered in his first at…...
Trevor Story will represent the Colorado Rockies at the All-Star Game Home Run Derby. We discuss who can win and who else we’d like to see.
Baseball history is heading to Denver this summer for fans all across the Rocky Mountain region.

Mark your calendars: July 13. The eyes of the baseball world will be upon…...
On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman debates with Manny Randhawa over the best methods to determine All-Stars and whether or not the advanced stats are doing the Colorado Rockies a disservice in this area. But before that, hear some great Keith Hernandez stories, not all of which revolve around Seinfeld....
The NBA All-Star Game has some juice once again. Two years ago, the league changed the rules so the top two vote getters from each conference picked teams playground style instead of going with its traditional East vs. West format. That tweak has made for a more entertaining game. Team Giannis got out to a big lead early before Team…...
It’s a simple, if not overplayed, Hollywood trope. It may be a couple years overdue, but Trevor Story is an All-Star. A story of promise, then adversity and, finally, vindication. For Story, his plotline went from rookie sensation and snubbing to sophomore bust and now he is on his way to Washington, D.C. as one of three Rockies representing the…...
On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman talks about Charlie Blackmon’s performance in the 2017 Home Run Derby. Of course, we get into the controversy surrounding his first-round loss to Cody Bellinger and admire the work of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Gary Sanchez. The fans give their take on #DistanceGate and then move the conversation forward…...
They say it is always the darkest before the dawn. Well, if that is the case, the dawn is on its way for the Colorado Rockies. During the team’s eight-game losing streak, though, one name has stood out—Nolan Arenado. Arenado has made a statement to the fans and the rest of Major League Baseball that he will not go quietly…...
Even though the NFL season isn’t even over, NFL draft prep is here. With the East-West Shrine Game taking place over the weekend, the Denver Broncos brass got a first look at a few players who will be in the draft. Here are a few that could be moving up Denver’s draft board.
With injuries to Dexter Fowler and Yoenis Cespedes, Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez now finds himself as a starter in the 2016 MLB All-Star Game.
Another Love and Hate list! This one all about the MLB All-Star Game.
The Colorado Avalanche entered the All Star break coming off a bounce back win and trying to focus despite the distractions off the ice, including Matt Duchene's All Star appearance and the ongoing civil case involving Semyon Varlamov.
Despite not winning the MLB’s Final Vote contest, Troy Tulowitzki is making his way to Cincinatti for the All-Star game after all. .@Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki added to NL All-Star team. #ASG presented by @TMobile. pic.twitter.com/VZhUpmYVhZ — MLB (@MLB) July 12, 2015 With multiple injuries to the National League All-Star squad, NL Manager Bruce Bochey named Tulowitzki as a…...
This is starting to get ridiculous. Despite the Colorado Rockies 6-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday at AT&T Park, the story remains the emergence of Nolan Arenado as not just an All-Star, but as a superstar. The third baseman stepped to the plate in the 1st inning with a runner on second base and one out.…...
Jhoulys Chacin is maturing as a starting pitcher for the Rockies. It was another step forward in the progress for Colorado Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin. He won his 8th game of the season for Colorado, as the Rockies avoided the sweep, winning 9-5. Chacin had been brilliant his past three outings. He was nearly untouchable. So in a way, it…...
