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…
In exactly one month, baseball returns from its winter slumber with a simple pop of the mitt on back fields all across Arizona and Florida. Laughs, good-natured ribbing and loud barking from seasoned coaches will fill Salt River Fields when pitchers and catchers report to the Spring Training home of the Colorado Rockies on February 15. Not everyone will be…
Even on the third day of the 2023, it’s still not too late to make a New Year’s Resolution. Baseball fans have a lot of options between reducing participation in the wave, selling their tickets during the Dodgers series and actually paying attention to the game while at The Rooftop. Patrick and Suzie break down the details on what the…
With one foot into the new year as the final one steps away from 2022, there’s one last chance to reflect on the highlights from the previous season, especially those memorable moments that didn’t pertain to wins and losses. We strive to share the view from the inside of the beloved teams from our region at DNVR. We also aim…
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. Brandon Nimmo’s market was already getting too exorbitant ($162 million was the final number for a player who had…
Patrick and Suzie answer your questions about the Rockies, MLB and anything in general that might be on your minds. (Leave a comment below for their next Rox Inbox in two weeks. We guarantee to answer it!) On this second episode of Rox Inbox, they respond to C.J. Cron’s potential trade value and why it may not be as high…...
Patrick Lyons and Suzie Hunter answer questions from the DNVR Diehards about Brent Suter, the likelihood of trading C.J. Cron and which Rockies’ top prospect ends up with the best career. If you want to hear your question or comment, drop a line in the Diehards Only Discord or comment on this post and we will respond in our next…...
It was 25 years ago that Larry Walker won the franchise’s first National League MVP Award thanks to an NL-leading 49 home runs and top-marks in on-base and slugging percentage. Walker was enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2021 and remains the only player in Rockies history to reach Cooperstown or to have won an MVP Award. Larry…
For every fan who sat through all 162 games this season for the Colorado Rockies, you should be saluted. Despite witnessing the fifth-worst season in franchise history (68-94, .420), there were moments that made an indelible mark on all our memories, even if you experienced it the morning after. That, ultimately, is the reward for committing to a team: memories…
Who were the top performers for the 2022 Colorado Rockies? We’ve got our top five and you may be surprised who earned an honorable mention. (You may also be surprised to learn the Hartford Yard Goats have acquired yet another logo. Are more Rockies’ affiliates next?) Plus, how did Patrick and Suzie do with their end of year award predictions?…
When we look back on the Colorado Rockies’ 2022 season in a decade, what will be remembered most? Is there a chance we may not recall much of anything from the slate of 162 games we just witnessed? Any time a team fails to win the World Series – there are always 29 teams in this situation in a given…
And just like that, it’s all over. With a 6-1 loss to the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon, the Colorado Rockies finished their 2022 season with a 68-94 record (.420) and with sole possession of last place in the National League West. The first official offseason for Bill Schmidt as general manager brought about some big investments. Schmidt…
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. That gave him 30 for 2022, third-most this season among Colorado Rockies minor leaguers. After only 97 games at Double-A earlier in the year, Toglia set the Hartford Yard Goats single-season…
The 1-6 homestand dashed a lot of hope that Colorado could hit the over on 68.5 wins this season. It’s still possible, but what’s the scenario that allows them to sneak four wins on the California road trip? We dive into the responses GM Bill Schmidt made over the week about what went well, what didn’t and how the organization…
Colorado Rockies GM Bill Schmidt addressed the media on Saturday in the same dugout occupied by several of the prized prospects touted as the reason for optimism. Opening with remarks that thanked the fans for supporting his team, Schmidt highlighted the future of the franchise in the form of their farm system. “Needless to say, the season hasn’t met our…
The Colorado Rockies drop another to the San Francisco Giants – but at least C.J. Cron has 101 RBI! Suzie talks with Giants beat writer Susan Slusser about the state of women in sports, the future of the Oakland A’s, and why the 107 win season in 2021 ended up hurting San Francisco this year. We also get an update on…
There’s a sizable opportunity for the Colorado Rockies over the next three days. A trio of contests against the 61-82 Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field could help the 2022 squad from being on the wrong side of history. The 108-year-old ballpark nestled in a neighborhood on the Northside seems quaint, but it’s not the type of location that produces home…
Sunday was a boring mess (and a Rockies’ loss). Saturday was respectable (and a win). But it was Friday that stole the show as the wildest game of the season, hands down. Arizona mounted a historic comeback before Colorado managed their own in the ninth. Which Friday night performance was most memorable? How are players responding to the new rules?…
Rockies got roasted by the Brewers on Labor Day while fans roasted in their giveaway winter caps (and roasted the team on social media). Who homered late to keep a streak alive? How many UCLA Bruins were on the field this time? And how difficult is it deciphering quotes between The Sandlot and The Godfather? Plus, Patrick and Suzie check…
