Wednesday began the official start of MLB All-Star Game voting and the Colorado Rockies have nine players on the National League ballot. The last two years, Colorado had only one selection to the Midsummer Classic: Germán Márquez (2021) and C.J. Cron (2022). Since teams towards the top of the standings typically have more All-Stars than those at the bottom, this…
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…
Despite the fact it’s been a team effort to turn around a 6-17 start to their season, the Colorado Rockies have been a lot better since Brenton Doyle was added to the roster. Since his callup on April 24, the team is 12-7, including three road series wins in as many ties. “I like to try to bring as much energy…
Bryce Harper helped boost the Colorado Rockies clubhouse on Sunday, but now the Rox have three games at Coors Field against the Cincinnati Reds. Is Jonathan India, TJ Friedl, Jake Fraley or Wil Myers – yes, he’s back – the more feared hitter right now? Plus, will Hunter Greene break a few records with his blazing fastball? And will we…
When it comes to weather and Springtime, April showers bring May flowers. In baseball parlance, there’s no real equivalent about the upside for having the worst record in the National League and struggling to win at home through the first full month of the regular season. For the Colorado Rockies, their 9-20 record (.310) projects out to a 50-112 record.…
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…
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…
Coors Field is up and running once again! The Colorado Rockies play their first home game of 2023 and welcome the lackluster Washington Nationals. Who homers today? Who’s throwing out the first pitch and singing the National Anthem? Plus, what hacks do you need to know to make your experience at the stadium better this season? The DNVR Rockies Podcast…
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…
Early success for the Colorado Rockies came to a halt, but not before the outlook on several players trended upwards. Can Charlie Blackmon sustain his power after ending a home run drought? Is Kris Bryant beginning to look more like that MVP? Will Germán Márquez & Kyle Freeland continue to be aces? DNVR Rockies Podcast previews the two-game set with…
The 2023 MLB Season began with a bang for the Colorado Rockies with two impressive wins over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Germán Márquez resembled an ace and Kyle Freeland looked like an athlete with a defensive play of the year contender. Who did C.J. Cron tie with two home runs on Opening Day? What did he and…
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…
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…
This time of year is usually a lot busier for Keith Dugger, head athletic trainer for the Colorado Rockies. After an offseason that allows for more down time than allows in-season, Dugger typically settles into the rhythms of preparing for the grind of a 162-game season in February and March. This year, he’s been a lot more active than anyone…
Colorado Rockies signed Mike Moustakas to help replace the loss of Brendan Rodgers, but did they break a promise to their prospects? GM Bill Schmidt said their young players would not be blocked. Now, Elehuris Montero, Nolan Jones and Alan Trejo all have an opportunity at second or third base that will mean going through a three-time All-Star. DNVR Rockies…
Colorado Rockies continue to look strong this spring behind their veterans (Kris Bryant, Ryan McMahon, and Charlie Blackmon) as well as their next crop of stars (Ezequiel Tovar, Zac Veen and Drew Romo). But an untold story from the Covid-19 season of 2020 is even more surprising. Learn how missing jerseys, batting gloves, and more from around the NL West…
SCOTTSDALE – When Ryan McMahon was drafted in the second round out of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, CA in the 2013 MLB Draft, the baseball landscape looked a lot different. Albert Pujols was nearing 500 career home runs, Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates was the National League MVP and Juan Pierre became the 18th player to…
When Dick Monfort speaks, it’s usually worth listening to, even if you don’t agree with him. The primary owner of the Colorado Rockies offered up a lot of thoughts this weekend on his club, the future of the franchise and some interesting thoughts on the finances of baseball. What kind of year will the 2023 club have? Which player has…
