An hour…

It was one of the more disappointing seasons for the starting rotation during the Bud Black’s tenure as manager of the Colorado Rockies.

It was only the second time Black’s rotation had an earned run average greater than…
When the lockout finally ended on the precipice of 100 days last offseason, Trevor Story’s signing with the Boston Red Sox in March opened a sizable hole on the left side of the Colorado Rockies infield.

Steve Reed represented the Colorado Rockies through their first five seasons of existence and pitched in more games than any other for the franchise, spending half his 14-year career in purple. His 140 ERA+ is often overlooked, and remains a staggering figure during an era pitched mostly before the advent of the humidor at Coors Field. Steve Reed Award for…

At 6’5” and 226 lbs, Michael Toglia was built to hit baseball a long, long way. Toglia launched three home runs with the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes on August 27.

The hype is more than just hope with the arrival of Colorado Rockies’ top infield prospect Ezequiel Tovar. Batting eighth and playing shortstop on Friday against the San Diego Padres as one of fives rookies in the starting lineup, Tovar represents the start of something promising for an organization heading into it’s fourth consecutive offseason without September relevance.

The Colorado Rockies entered their two-game set with the Texas Rangers before heading out onto the road for 24 of their final 37 games in what is the second-most difficult remaining schedule.
