The Colorado Rockies improved to 6-2 thanks to another full-team win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon, completing the series win. The offense scored early and often, the starter was fantastic, and the bullpen bent but did not break in the 9-6 victory. Player of the Game: Antonio Senzatela He looks like a whole new pitcher, as we…...

On this episode of the DNVR Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons break down the most complete win of the 2020 season so far for your Colorado Rockies, analyze the first start of the year from Antonio Senzatela, and react to some comments out of Bryan Shaw about Coors Field and altitude.

By the fourth inning of game four, the Rockies had made their move on the Athletics to put together the most complete game of the early season during a decisive 8-3 victory that moved Colorado to 3-1 and kept them atop the NL West standings. It was the type victory you draw up when hoping the best for every aspect…

Who is Antonio Senzatela? The easy answer is that he is a 25-year-old right-handed pitcher expected to serve as the Colorado Rockies fourth man in the starting rotation in 2020. He has thrown 349.2 innings at the MLB level across three seasons and posted a record of 27-22, and an ERA of 5.33. He has struggled throughout his career to…...

Following a night of amateur firework displays around the city to commemorate Independence Day, the professional variety took place during batting practice at Coors Field on Sunday for day two of Rockies summer camp. In the morning, pitching coach Steve Foster spoke with media about the limited preparation of his pitchers required for an abbreviated season. “Right now, we’re on…

No matter what happens during his playing career, whether it’s multiple All-Star Game selections, Cy Young Awards or a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, the biography of Antonio Senzatela will have a large section that focuses on his mother. Before signing with Colorado as an international free agent out of Venezuela, Senzatela was raised on baseball…

Antonio Senzatela has come a long way since signing as a 16-year-old out of Venezuela, both literally and figuratively. After an injury-plagued season at Double-A in 2016, Senzatela made the Opening Day roster in 2017 with a mere seven starts about Class High-A. The 22-year-old tossed five shutout innings in his big league debut to begin the season in Milwaukee…

The Colorado Rockies pitched well, hit well, and played good defense but in Spring Training the likelihood that none of that will amount to anything is a lot higher with so many players cycling into and out of the game. So, despite thoroughly outplaying the Texas Rangers for the vast majority of the afternoon, they dropped a 7-4 loss thanks…...

Well, the Colorado Rockies lost a nationally televised baseball game. But it could not have mattered less. It’s still February. The 9-6 defeat at the hands of the San Francisco Giants may mean little, but the performance of Jeff Hoffman, one of the guys on the roster who most needed a quality Spring Training, is troubling. Player of the Game…...

Add one more name to the list of pitchers looking to crack the Rockies starting rotation in 2020. “After talking amongst ourselves organizationally and with Wes, I think this is the way to go now to try and stretch him out as a starter,” manager Bud Black shared. “He’s motivated to start. Wants to start. His desire is to start.”…

Much debate this offseason about the Colorado Rockies biggest needs this offseason. After a year in which so many things went so awry, it’s understandable for the club that went 71-91. It also underlines the fact that they also have more potential spread across the roster than some are willing to give them credit for. But potential is always trapped…

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…...

In this original BSN Denver series, we take a look at some of the best Rockies’ photography of the last week as well as the top shot in the game of baseball. Picture of the Week Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski throws out the first pitch at Fenway Park to his grandson, San Francisco Giants’ outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. After languishing…...

DENVER – Well, it’s all a bit too late but it can’t be denied that the Colorado Rockies are playing solid fundamental baseball right now. After taking a series from the NL Central leading St. Louis Cardinals and sweeping division rival San Diego Padres, the Rockies took the first game of a set against the Wild Card hopeful New York…...

The St. Louis Cardinals came into Coors Field hot and hoping to stay that way as they battle for postseason positioning in the National League Central, currently sitting atop that division. But for the second straight contest, they lost a pitchers’ duel to the Colorado Rockies who held on to win 2-1 and to secure an improbable series win. It…...

With Colorado’s lone silver lining of Sunday’s 11-4 loss and four-game sweep by St. Louis game being Nolan Arenado’s 3-for-5 performance, which included his 33rd home run of the season, the perennial Gold Glover recorded his 100th run batted in of the year, his fifth-straight season at the century mark. As for the more lurid details of the affair, it all…...

On Sunday, the Colorado Rockies several moves before Sunday’s matinee, including designating for assignment first baseman Mark Reynolds.  Entering the season with 294 home runs, it looked promising for Reynolds to hit a milestone 300th home run with purple pinstripes and become the first player to do so without having ever made an All-Star Team. “That’s the way it goes,”…...

On the 50th Anniversary of the first moon landing, the Colorado crew witnessed a blastoff that traveled much higher than the 14ers dotting their mountainous state. The on-field temperature felt like playing a game on the launch pad amid liftoff, 94 degrees at first pitch, but with 44% humidity it felt more like 105 degrees. Before the game, Bud Black…...

When Lawrence Peter Berra uttered one of his many humorous malapropisms, “It’s déjà vu all over again,” major league baseball in Colorado existed purely as a pipe dream. His witticism certainly should be applied to the events at Coors Field this weekend and, perhaps, that of the last few weekends. Though Sunday’s affair started on the right note for…...
