Tyler Matzek showed great growth on Monday night in his win. When DJ LeMahieu laced a Jake Peavy fastball to left field with two outs in the top of the 7th inning, it looked like it might be the worst thing for the Colorado Rockies chances of winning in what ended up a 3-2 win for the Rockies. That might…...

The Rockies never expected Blackmon to contribute the way he has. It was an outcome that surprised no one. For the second straight night, and for the seemingly 100th time in a miserable season for the Colorado Rockies, a starting pitcher looked like a Cy Young candidate against their makeshift lineup. On Saturday night it was Rick Porcello’s chance to…...

The Rockies should have dealt LaTroy Hawkins. “If it is broken beyond repair, don’t fix it.” Those were the words of Dan Fellman, producer of seemingly every show on Mile High Sports Radio, on Thursday afternoon when talking about the Colorado Rockies lack of a move at the trade deadline in a season going down the toilet. On their way…...

Arenado responded well to his benching the previous night. BY: ZACH MARBURGER Nolan Arenado told reporters before yesterday’s game he was embarrassed by his lack of hustle in the Rockies’ win over the Pirates Friday. Saturday, he jogged out of the batter’s box again. Everything worked out ok this time, because he kept jogging all the way home. Arenado’s solo…...

Brett Anderson gave the Rockies a taste of what might have been. By Zach Marburger (@burchburger) Zach Marburger is a transplant from Maryland who covers the Rockies and Nuggets as a staff writer at milehighsports.com. He also covers high school sports at CHSAAnow.com. In the bottom of the third inning Friday, after a lengthy at-bat, Brett Anderson got reigning MVP…...

Years of overuse has finally caught up to Matt Belisle. **EDITORS NOTE: Cameron Parsons completes his Rockies Review coverage filling in for David Martin. BY: CAMERON PARSONS Another strong pitching performance, this one by Tyler Matzek, was wasted by the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Each game of the three game set against the Pirates, was very much the same. The…...

Brett Anderson went seven strong innings but got the ND. EDITORS NOTE: Cameron Parsons will continue his guest series for the entire Pittsburgh Pirates series. He is a recent graduate from Colorado State University and has been a longtime fan of the Colorado Rockies. When Chad Bettis pitches for the Rockies, the night normally ends in a loss. Saturday was…...

Plenty to be excited about for Rockies fans with Matzek. It couldn’t last forever. The Colorado Rockies came into Monday night’s game riding a five game winning streak. The streak started with Tyler Matzek’s Major League debut last Wednesday when the rookie pitched into the 8th inning, propelling the Rockies to a victory. After Matzek’s performance, the Rockies took the…...

Brandon Barnes hit the game winning homer, an inside-the-park job. The Colorado Rockies have forgotten that they are on the road. With the Rockies down a run with one out to go, Brandon Barnes punched a Sergio Romo pitch to center field with the tying run on first base. When Angel Pagan badly misplayed the ball, trying to catch it…...

The Colorado Rockies have given lots of high fives in 2014. Twenty-three. It’s a random number, but it is a number the Colorado Rockies should be proud of on May 11th. At essentially the quarter point of the 2014 Major League season, the Rockies have racked up 23 win. GO back in time and ask 100 hardcore fans what they…...

Corey Dickerson highlights the Rockies depth. It’s starting to become difficult to deny how good this Colorado Rockies offense is. On Saturday night, the Rockies scored more runs in the first two batters against Reds starter Alfredo Simon has given up in any one of his first five starts of the season. Charlie Blackmon belted a leadoff shot on an…...

Nolan Arenado extended his hitting streak to 27 games. As far as the Colorado Rockies are concerned, it is April 37th. The annual May swoon that brings the Rockies back to the reality of their talent level hasn’t happened so far in 2014. In fact, it seems that the team is only getting better as the days go on. After…...

Rex Brothers’ struggles continued on Wednesday. April was good to the Colorado Rockies. Despite the final pitch of the month being a Miguel Montero walk-off home run to send the Rockies home with a loss, the month overall was very good to the club. What looked like a sweep ended in disappointment. The Rockies blew a four-run lead and, for…...

Nolan Arenado is becoming a star for the Colorado Rockies. Most teams find the road a lonely place. The Colorado Rockies have traditionally taken that to a whole new level. Perennially, the Rockies have been awful on the road. They have been so bad that people have actually done studies and formed theories on the effects of playing at high…...

Jordan Lyles was phenomenal again for the Rockies. The Chicago Cubs have their billy goat, the Boston Red Sox had their Curse of the Bambino, the Colorado Rockies have their West Coast Road Swing. Most people don’t understand baseball. They don’t understand how an event can snowball and effect a team mentally. The Colorado Rockies have been snake bit on…...

Can Weiss lead the Rockies to success? BY: CAMERON PARSONS Rockies fans have every right to be skeptical of this hot April start. This is a year though where it won’t just be a hot April start that falls off into underperforming the more the year goes on. The Rockies have the pieces to succeed and will continue to put…...

The Rockies need a better plate approach from Rosario and others. The Colorado Rockies went 4-2 on their six-game homestand. They had a chance to sweep both series. For this club, that is a huge success. The problem is, the Rockies still gave away two games. What if the Rockies went into their six-game road trip after going 5-1 on…...

Jorge De La Rosa returned to form on Friday night. 0-for-6 with two walks and three strikeouts. When Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki combine for those numbers, it usually doesn’t result in a win for the Colorado Rockies. On Monday night at Coors Field, not only did the Rockies win without the help of their two sluggers, they won in…...

Jordan Pacheco had a rough day. It’s the little things. The Colorado Rockies are a talented group. They have a lineup that has somewhere in the neighborhood of 23 or 24 other teams in baseball jealous. Their pitching might not be deep, but they have guys who are proving they can win. Despite being in the top three in the…...
