Colorado Rockies continue to win in bunches and take their 7th series in 10 tries in Sunday’s win over the New York Mets. Since April 30th, the Rox are 16-10, second-best in the National League. How many games in a row does Ryan McMahon with a home run? Is it time for a change at closer with Daniel Bard dominating…
The Colorado Rockies may be one of only three teams to have not won a Cy Young Award since 1993, but plenty of the game’s greatest pitchers have passed through Denver over the last 31 seasons. Two such recipients came through LoDo in the past three days with a fourth starting on Saturday. This includes a pair of three-time winners…
In 2022, the city of Denver rallied around the Colorado Avalanche as they won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 21 years. This year, it’s the Denver Nuggets receiving the support as they charge toward the first NBA Championship in franchise history. Count the Colorado Rockies among the millions in the region who want the Larry O’Brien Championship…
Texas Rangers have the best offense in baseball and it showed this weekend in Arlington against the Colorado Rockies pitching. Kyle Freeland got upstaged by Jon Gray, Marcus Semien and Corey Seager were unstoppable and Jurickson Profar extended his on-base streak. What are the latest roster moves? Who was the latest position player to pitch? How historic was the Gray-Freeland…
Jon Gray and Kyle Freeland have so much in common that its only fitting they line up across from one another in a historic matchup for the Colorado Rockies organization. In consecutive years, the pair were selected with top 10 draft picks by Colorado: Gray at no. 3 from the Univ. of Oklahoma in 2013 and Freeland at no. 8…
A nearly seven-year journey began on June 9, 2016 when the Colorado Rockies used the fourth-overall pick in the MLB Draft to select an 18-year-old pitcher out of St. Thomas Aquinas HS in Overland Park, KS. On Sunday that odyssey had a happy ending when Colorado promoted Riley Pint to the big leagues. He had finally reached the promised land.…
The game plan for the Colorado Rockies going into the 2022 season was to keep the seat warm at shortstop for Ezequiel Tovar in hopes he could take over at the start of the following season. It was a best-case scenario that required a lot from the young Venezuelan who had already made sizable progress the year before. Tovar played…
Twice this season, Germán Márquez stepped off the back of the pitcher’s plate and descended the mound with a look of dread on his face that seemingly exhausted the hopes of his teammates. Though the news of Tommy John surgery for Márquez cuts short his 2023 — and puts in jeopardy his place with the Colorado Rockies for 2024 –…
Colorado Rockies take the series from the Milwaukee Brewers for their second time in their last three tries. Will Kyle Freeland be able to make his next start without injury? How important is the return of Antonio Senzatela? Is Ezequiel Tovar finally making his run at NL Rookie of the Year? The DNVR Rockies Podcast may be thankful they don’t…
The start to Noah Davis’ career is a prime example of how fulfilling one’s dreams can often take a circuitous route. “It’s always kind of been left of center – I think is a good way to put it,” the 25-year-old shared with DNVR Rockies. “But I’m extremely grateful for every step that’s come along the way.” Take his Major…
The Colorado Rockies got swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates, their second straight sweep and the eighth consecutive loss. At 5-14, they’re off to their worst start in franchise history over the first 19 games. Why is everything going wrong? Can anything be done to change the course of a 100-loss season? And how bad has the start of this season…
The trade this winter between the Colorado Rockies and the Pittsburgh Pirates was not the first of Connor Joe’s career. It was, in hindsight, one the hardest he’s had to deal with during his 10 years as a professional. “I had been traded a couple of times. And they say like the first time it’s the toughest right? But this…
When José Ureña lowered his earned run average from 15.43 to 14.40 in his second start, the pyrrhic victory had many looking for alternative options for the starting rotation as only seven other times had a Rockies starter ever performed worse to begin their season. Colorado’s no. 3 starter was much more solid against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday,…...
The bullpen for the Colorado Rockies was set to feature six pitchers age 30 or older on Opening Day. During the summer, another veteran – Tyler Kinley – would also get added to the mix. With Antonio Senzatela out until May at the earliest and questions about the team’s no. 3-5 starters, the backbone of the Rockies would not be…
Germán Márquez was poised to make Colorado Rockies history with 11 strikeouts to become the all-time leader in the category Monday night. Instead, forearm tightness ended his game early and the worst fears about the injury are still in play. Who could the Rockies insert into the starting rotation? Could this mean Márquez’s career with Colorado is over? The DNVR…
Monday night’s game was supposed to be about the return of Nolan Arenado to Coors Field. A potential for Germán Márquez to record 11 strikeouts and become the all-time leader in the category for the Colorado Rockies also appeared as a top story. Instead, there was no celebrating Colorado’s 7-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals after Márquez was removed…
It’s been a little more than a week with the newly implemented pitch clock, but the Colorado Rockies are averaging two hours and 30 minutes as their time of game. For a team that’s already at the physical disadvantage of playing 5,280 feet above sea level, something may actually be on their side. “It’s going to be good on our…
DENVER, Colo. – In the first game back in Denver in the 30th Anniversary of the club’s existence, a Colorado born pitcher started the game while another closed out the Rockies victory. “For me, it was super great to see a bookend of Kyle (Freeland) and Pierce (Johnson) on Opening Day,” manager Bud Black said post-game. “And what this means…
Even before future Hall of Famer Nolan Arenado was traded ahead of the 2021 season, hardcore fans of the Colorado Rockies were already questioning when the team might ever see consecutive postseason appearances again, let alone make another trip to the World Series. Nine teams in MLB have lost a combined 300 games since the start of the 2019 season…
