Cody Bellinger, center fielder for the Colorado Rockies. It has an interesting ring to it. A notable player coming from a premier team to find his way in Denver – and not the other way around – would be nothing short of a shocker. Yet, those odds drastically increased last Friday when Bellinger was non-tendered by the Los Angeles Dodgers…
The Colorado Rockies were busy acquiring, extending and non-tendering players just 48 hours after making their second trade of their offseason on a busy Friday afternoon. Colorado claimed LHP Brent Suter off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers to improve an inexperienced bullpen.

It’s a classic statement that’s been uttered countless times over and it’s yet to be proven inaccurate. Whenever you go to the ballpark, you’re guaranteed to see something you’ve never seen before. For fans of the Colorado Rockies, it’s a streak of 4,534 games that began on April 5, 1993 and it shouldn’t end anytime soon. This list may not…...
When Cody Bellinger hit an outside-the-park single on Opening Day, it appeared to be one of the more improbable, quixotic plays witnessed in LoDo and was a reminder that anything can happen in any baseball game. Unfortunately for the Colorado Rockies, most of the unusual occurrences this season have been slanted toward the wrong side of history. With a win-loss…
The 2021 Rockies’ season may not hold a ton of highlights, but Opening Day sure did during a 8-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 1-2-3 first inning appeared promising until his five-pitch walk…

Unfortunately, the final score reflected a team that also took a respite in the Dodgers 11-3 victory that sealed a three-game sweep and continued the Rockies losing streak to seven…
If the first five starts of the season weren’t convincing enough, Kyle Freeland’s start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers should have made it clear. The Colorado Kid is back. As for the rest of the club, that’s a horse of a different color. Freeland made one bad pitch all night, a changeup to Chris Taylor whose 367ft pop-up…
