The Colorado Rockies made four roster moves today regarding their 40-man roster. Most notably right-handed reliever Brooks Brown was claimed off of waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The other three moves had the Rockies outrighting catcher Michael McKenry, and right-handed relievers Simon Castro, and Gonzalez Germen to Albuquerque. If you are unfamiliar with outrighting, it is when a club wants to take a player off…...
The Colorado Rockies like to torture their fans. If it isn’t with a false hope that accompanies every April, it is forcing fans to stay up late to watch an 11-inning meaningless game in late September only to see them lose in predictable fashion. When Brooks Brown started the bottom of the 11th with 11 straight pitches out of…...

Colorado has sent both LHP Rex Brothers and OF Brandon Barnes to the minors. Brothers has long been thought to be the closer of the future for the Rockies, but struggled in…...
Drew Stubbs was the hero on Saturday night for the Rockies. Apologies for the cynicism in advance. The Colorado Rockies won on a 12th inning walk-off single from Drew Stubbs and it couldn’t have been less exciting. Make no mistake, a win is always a good thing for the team that you root for, but what ended up being the…...
