On Friday, Major League Baseball shocked most of the world by agreeing to mounting pressures to move the 2021 All-Star Game and First-Year Player’s Draft out of Atlanta, Georgia. This move came in direct response to voter suppression laws passed in the state, something MLB has taken a strong stance against going back to last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests,…

The Colorado Rockies haven’t existed for long, yet somehow they almost always seem on the precipice of pivotal changing points. Oddly enough, despite their less-than-thirty-year-old existence, the ballclub of the Mile High City has carved out a pretty clear history defined by memorable short eras filled with intriguing characters. Here in 2021, we know one of these eras has ended…...

Entering the 2020 MLB Draft, the Colorado Rockies were set to make the 9th overall selection. Only seven times in their previous 27 drafts had their pick been higher.  In most of those years, they had opted for a younger, less proven high school player. One of those players never signed (Matt Harrington, 2000). Another still waits in the wings…

The Colorado Rockies have had some elite power hitters over the years so Drew and Patrick decide to draft them onto teams of five for some head to head competition!

We’ve all fallen into the trap at some point. The Colorado Rockies sign or make a trade for a significant bat – a rare thing but something that the facts nonetheless state does happen – and we all start dreaming specifically on how that player will look at Coors Field. It doesn’t matter where they are coming from. This new…...

The streets of Denver are empty tonight. The ballpark, too. But if you listen carefully, you can hear the sounds of the past. It’s all so different. It’s all so strange. Where once was glorious celebration and exuberance and community is now silence and space. Where once the entirety of Lower Downtown would be abuzz with excitement, there is now…...

It may sound strange to consider, but even coming off the heels of a losing season and the overwhelming absence of a World Series win – not to mention even a single National League West pennant – there has never been a better time to be a baseball fan from Colorado. The run for Rocktober in 2007 was as magical…

It may have been more than three weeks overdue due to the players’ strike of 1994, but the return of baseball to cities all across Major League Baseball was well worth the wait in Colorado. Officially opening its doors at 2001 Blake Street in the LoDo neighborhood of Denver on this date in 1995, the 47,228 in attendance welcomed one…

A rudimentary internet search reveals the first game played at Coors Field took place April 26, 1995. Dante Bichette stepped to the plate in the bottom of the 14th inning and launched a three-run walk-off homer into the night to christen the new stadium in the grandest way possible. However, that’s not entirely accurate. Before the delayed start of the…

During the 2018-19 offseason, it seemed the only addition the Colorado Rockies made was Daniel Murphy at the cost of $24MM.  A more thorough examination suggests financial investments in the organization through new technology such as devices created by Rapsodo, in addition to a slew of renovations to Coors Field were set in motion when the team and the Metropolitan…...

DENVER – There is a baseball field at 20th and Blake where the air is thin and the outfield is vast. When things started to get a little bit crazy in the late 90s and into the new millennium, they employed a humidor to try to make it more like baseball in other places. It’s still a park that…...

DENVER – The result of every Colorado Rockies game counts… until it doesn’t. Unfortunately, plenty of fans and analysts around the game seem yet undecided on this issues. Sure, there has been no effort to move the club (thank God) but the folks in charge of talking on TV and/or voting for awards to celebrate the very best our…

When the Colorado Rockies are at home, they have the steepest pitching challenge in all of baseball. When the Colorado Rockies on the road, they have the steepest hitting challenge in all of baseball. And yet, the handful of players who have been able to not only handle but conquer and master this dynamic have been overlooked and undervalued.…

On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman sits down with Chad Bettis to dive deep into the Coors Field dynamic....

DENVER – Most people in Rockieland had never heard of RHP Tim Melville one week ago but he has now strung together 13 innings of work in which he has surrendered just one run. In just these two outings, he has become one of the best stories of the year for a club that admittedly hasn’t had much in the…...

“He’s just a Coors Field product!” All Rockies fans have heard it, but what does it mean? You can insert virtually any name into the beginning of that sentence. Arenado, Helton, Blackmon, Walker, Story, Dahl…. I digress.  Is being a Coors Field product something that is backed up by the numbers? Or is there a stigma that follows Rockies…...
