The voice of the Colorado Rockies for AT&T SportsNet, Drew Goodman, shares his thoughts on Jon Gray’s first appearance back at Coors Field since leaving for the Texas Rangers. What’s been the benefit on not having to pitch at Coors Field? Has Gray’s demeanor changed in Texas? We also discuss the special event taking place at Citi Field this weekend…
With a “balanced scheduled” set for 2023, Colorado plays all 29 teams in MLB. Who will be visiting Coors Field? Which former Rockies will be returning? And where will the Rox travel? Patrick and Suzie also recap the two-game set with the Rangers and discuss Jon Gray’s return to Denver. There’s a Mets series preview and a crazy fact about…
Happy Anniversary, Rockies fans. Sort of. Excluding the mammoth trade of Troy Tulowitzki in 2015, a deal that saved the franchise $50 million in the process, the last deadline deal Colorado made in a losing season was on this date in 2012. At 23 games under .500, 16.5 games behind the newly-implemented second Wild Card and three years removed from…...
This might not be controversial, but there typically isn’t anything super about a super-utility player. When a player is not overtly skilled at one position or cannot move to another place on the field without issue, their time in MLB may be limited… unless they are adequate enough to carry numerous types of mitts in their equipment bag. For Charlie…
In this original BSN Denver series, we take a look at some of the best Rockies’ photography of the last week as well as the top shot in the game of baseball....
The Rockies have made a few moves and are closer to trimming the roster down to 25 players. The Colorado #Rockies announced today that they have optioned infielder Charlie Culberson. — Colorado Rockies (@Rockies) March 31, 2015 Colorado has optioned utility inf/of Charlie Culberson to the minors. Culberson somehow appeared in 95 games for the Rockies in 2014, despite his…...
Is it time for the Rockies to deal Tulowitzki? When the team scores seven runs, fans get tacos for a discounted price. That is the Taco Bell promotion that has run for years for the Colorado Rockies. After a miserable road trip, the question must be asked, can that promotion be used for the entirety of a road trip. The…...
Jorge De La Rosa had to leave with an injury on his pitching hand. Something had to give. In their last 10 games, the Colorado Rockies were winners in seven of them. With the way the 2014 season has gone, it simply wasn’t sustainable. However, with Jorge De La Rosa on the mound for the Rockies, there was a chance…...
Arenado’s slide finished off the Rockies season. The Colorado Rockies have their famous slide, now they have their infamous slide. When Matt Holliday slid into home, or close to it, in 2007, the Rockies were headed to the playoffs, capping an amazing comeback in an amazing game in the middle of an amazing run. On May 23rd in Atlanta, the…...
The Rockies have been exciting in 2014. Put down the purple Kool-Aid. Just for one minute. When Charlie Culberson laced the Kyle Farnsworth pitch over the center field wall at Coors Field on Saturday night, it brought back a feeling fans of the Colorado Rockies haven’t had for a while. Sure, the Rockies had a fun April in 2013. They…...
Charlie Culberson was the hero on Saturday night. It was a flashback to Coors Field before Y2K. A night of excitement was capped off with a walk-off home run, courtesy of pinch hitter Charlie Culberson. The utility infielder was hitting just .109 when he stepped to the plate with one out and Troy Tulowitzki at second base and the Rockies…...
Corey Dickerson has been a surprising addition for the Rockies. If you can’t do it with your arm, may as well do it with the bat, right? It wasn’t a great night for Jhoulys Chacin on the mound for the Colorado Rockies. He simply didn’t have his best stuff. He walked five while striking out none in six innings against…...
The Colorado Rockies need to go back to in the box thinking. Remember in coach pitch when a guy would play shortstop one inning, catch the next, then go to the outfield? At the high school level, that type of position movement goes away. However, the Colorado Rockies still employ it. On Tuesday night against the white-hot Los Angeles Dodgers,…...
Nolan Arenado took a phenomenal at-bat on Friday. (Getty Images) Six runs in a road game? Most thought the Colorado Rockies would score six runs on the entire 10-game road trip. The Rockies belted four home runs on Friday night in a 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Juan Nicasio threw six strong innings, giving up just two runs. He…...
He’s made mistakes, but he should have a full roster to use. Jim Tracy is a terrible manager. He changes the lineup almost daily, he makes excuses, and he handles a bullpen about as bad as anyone in the game. However, the Colorado Rockies front office is currently hanging him out to dry. In a season full of new phrases…...
