Bryce Harper has already inserted himself into the NL MVP conversation with his weekend in Denver as the Philadelphia Phillies brought out the worst in the Colorado Rockies once again. The Phils won the first two at Coors Field before Kyle Freeland and Brenton Doyle were outstanding on they birthdays to win on Sunday. But it was the melee between…
Coors Field was jumping once again for a series with the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks. Following two straight losses and seven consecutive losses at home, the Colorado Rockies won on Sunday with the bats breaking out in a big way. How did C.J. Cron break a slump that had him the worst qualified player in MLB since April 2? Is Bud…
The Colorado Rockies are road trippin’ once again, losing three of four to the National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies. José Ureña got knocked around again, as did Dinelson Lamet and Ty Blach to drop the Rox to 6-17, one of the worst starts in franchise history. The DNVR Rockies Podcast discusses the latest Kris Bryant injury, the state of the…
Colorado hoped to get back to .500 with their first homestand of the season and the 1-5 Washington Nationals on their way to Coors Field for a four-game series. A 1-0 win during the home opener, only the 11th in Coors Field history, brought Colorado within one game of drawing even. Then, the club dropped two of the next three…
Six games in Southern California is usually wrought with a lot of frustration, more losses than wins and an entire lineup of hitters slumping, yearning to get back home to the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. Alas, it felt like a lot less frustration, less losses than normal and decent offensive production, on a whole. Going 2-4 on the road…
First-place in the NL West seems like a waking dream after the Colorado Rockies started 2-0 in San Diego. Now, with their third consecutive loss, a 13-4 shellacking at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers, question marks are starting to reappear again.

The 2023 MLB Season began with a bang for the Colorado Rockies with two impressive wins over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.

Two losses to end to end their stint in San Diego hampered the vibes following the 2-0 start to the season, but the Colorado Rockies had a lot to feel good about the opening weekend. They could have taken the series with a win on Sunday over the Padres, something they did only five times in 24 road series last…
In case you decided to wait until the weekend before checking on the start of the 2023 baseball season, you’ve missed quite a bit in the first two days. The Colorado Rockies are 2-0 thanks to a pair of wins on the road — of all places — against the San Diego Padres, a club many think will be at…
Welcome to a new era in Colorado Rockies baseball. At first, it was Vinny Castilla and Walt Weiss for four seasons together on the left side of the infield, ushering in the first postseason in 1995 for the expansion franchise. Three years of Troy Tulowitzki and Garrett Atkins brought two playoff berths, including the team’s only World Series appearance in…
Colorado Rockies have the most explosive offense in Spring Training right thanks to the likes of Kris Bryant, Ryan McMahon, Zac Veen, Elias Díaz and Harold Castro.

After speaking with a small group of reporters on Saturday in his hometown for nearly an hour, Colorado Rockies’ owner Dick Monfort stood up from the table and said, “I didn’t say anything bad, did I?” Little did he realize that his comments on the Rockies an hour earlier were already reaching every corner of the baseball world. An hour…

The Year 2022 was a return to normalcy around the world following the pandemic shutdowns that wrought havoc on anything outside the comforts of our home. Fans were finally allowed back into ballparks at full capacity. In Denver, that meant over 2.5 million tickets sold at Coors Field to see the 68-94 Colorado Rockies. That was good for 10th-best in…
At the Winter Meetings in San Diego earlier this month, GM Bill Schmidt made it clear that the Colorado Rockies would not be targeting any of the prime left-handed hitting free agents that should have topped his quintessential offseason wish list.
