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. Nestled in a small town in bucolic upstate New York named for the father of 19th century American writer James Fenimore Cooper rests the…

Andres Galarraga and a few other former Colorado Rockies deserve much more attention from Hall of Fame voters. Drew and Patrick make the case for him along with the likes of Fred McGriff and Carlos Delgado.

The Colorado Rockies have had some elite power hitters over the years so Drew and Patrick decide to draft them onto teams of five for some head to head competition!

We’ve all fallen into the trap at some point. The Colorado Rockies sign or make a trade for a significant bat – a rare thing but something that the facts nonetheless state does happen – and we all start dreaming specifically on how that player will look at Coors Field. It doesn’t matter where they are coming from. This new…...

The list of players to have hit .400 is short and illustrious. Wee Willie Keeler. Ty Cobb. Rogers Hornsby. Fourteen Hall of Famers, all of whom managed to bat .312 or above in their career, including Cobb’s career .366 batting average, decorate the list of the most elite hitters to play the game of baseball. The most recent and memorable…

There may have been 27 seasons of Major League Baseball in Denver, but there hasn’t always been a lot to celebrate. There are nine winning seasons. A handful of  superstars. Five postseasons (thanks, Wild Card). Just one World Series appearance. And now, finally, a Hall of Famer… but that celebration will have to wait another year. So, when an award like…

In the nearly 120 seasons of modern professional baseball, there exist some incredibly prestigious clubs. Of players who have hit 500 or more home runs, there are but 27. Only 23 have pitched a perfect game. And a mere 16 have won the Triple Crown. Troy Tulowitzki of the Colorado Rockies is among an even more rare exclusive fraternity thanks…

Long before Trevor Story (2016-present) occupied shortstop for the Colorado Rockies, there existed an era between that of Walt Weiss (1994-97) and Troy Tulowitzki (2007-15). Neifi Neftali Pérez (1998-2001) signed with Colorado as an international free agent at the age of 18 before his organization ever took the field in 1992. So long ago that he plied his trade in…

They say that you are only as strong as your weakest link. Time to find out if that is true. In the first two parts of this series, we named the all-time starting rotation and lineup. But many of you have noted that this leaves out quite a few phenomenal faces of the franchise. As we all know, though, baseball…...

It may have been more than three weeks overdue due to the players’ strike of 1994, but the return of baseball to cities all across Major League Baseball was well worth the wait in Colorado. Officially opening its doors at 2001 Blake Street in the LoDo neighborhood of Denver on this date in 1995, the 47,228 in attendance welcomed one…

The Washington Nationals entered the 2018 season with the same core of players that won the National League East by an impressive 20 games the previous year and were expected to do much of the same in the final year before Bryce Harper entered free agency. To think they would fall short of their ultimate goal once again only to win…

It was not until Eric Young stepped to the plate at Shea Stadium against Dwight Gooden and the New York Mets that the state of Colorado and the city of Denver was finally deemed as the Big Leagues on April 5, 1993. For years, the Mile High City was home to top flight minor league clubs like the Denver Bears/Zephyrs and…

With six Opening Days on this date, April 1 has been the starting point for more seasons than any other on the calendar: 1997, 2002, 2003, 2008, 2011 and 2013. While Colorado is 15-12 on Opening Day all-time, only one of those April 1 openers has resulted in a win. Even more sadly, just one of the aforementioned years produced…

DENVER – There is a baseball field at 20th and Blake where the air is thin and the outfield is vast. When things started to get a little bit crazy in the late 90s and into the new millennium, they employed a humidor to try to make it more like baseball in other places. It’s still a park that…...

With a two-run home run into the left field bleachers on Sunday, Trevor Story put his club ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the first and provided a big shot in the arm to starting pitcher Kyle Freeland, who gave up a leadoff home run to put the Rockies behind early. “(We) just tried to switch the momentum a…...
