The Rockies are licking their wounds after the 14-3 drubbing they took to the San Diego Padres on Monday night. #Rockies lineup vs. #Padrespic.twitter.com/ttkPvYb9mj — Thomas Harding (@harding_at_mlb) April 21, 2015 Both Nolan Arenado and Corey Dickerson got banged up in the blowout loss and will not be in the starting lineup tonight. Arenado says he can hit tonight if…...

Is it time to get excited about the Colorado Rockies yet? After a 4-1 victory in San Francisco, one thing is clear; even if these Rockies don’t contend for the playoffs, they certainly are a fun team to watch. Skip ahead to the bottom of the 8th inning. After Rafael Betancourt uncharacteristically gave up a walk after a base hit,…...

Please pardon the overreacting Colorado Rockies fans. Sure, the Rockies 5-4 victory in 10 innings only gave them three wins on the season. There are 159 of these games to go. However, faulting a Rockies fan for getting excited about the sweep is like making fun of a guy roaming the desert for months who gets excited about his first…...

The tailgate parties were in full swing by 9 am in the parking lot at Miller Park in Milwaukee. The Colorado Rockies, however, decided that the party wouldn’t come inside for Brewers fans. The Rockies trounced the Brewers with a 10-0 shutout victory, starting the season 1-0 and on the right foot. If Monday afternoon in Milwaukee represents anything for…...

In preparation for trimming the roster down to 25 players before Sunday’s deadline, the Rockies have opted for other talent over some of their key players from 2014. Colorado has sent both LHP Rex Brothers and OF Brandon Barnes to the minors. Brothers has long been thought to be the closer of the future for the Rockies, but struggled in…...

Hope springs eternal… again. Plenty of Rockies players are already in Scottsdale ahead of their Feb 27th reporting date. Once again the talk entering spring is more about if players can stay healthy than about baseball itself. #Rockies Tulo already has his game face on for media. He’s bound and determined to play healthy and prove critics wrong. — Patrick…...

Michael Cuddyer is fun to watch, but should the Rox re-sign him? Crisis averted. The Colorado Rockies will not lose 100 games, as so many had predicted that they would. A 15-2 drubbing of the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field ensured that the most they can lose is 99 games. Two more wins in their final nine games will keep…...

The Rockies were wise to re-sign Jorge De La Rosa. The Colorado Rockies launched the ball out of the park all afternoon, then finished off the night with the announcement that they have re-signed Jorge De La Rosa to a 2-year $25 million deal. On the field, Christian Bergman continued to look like a very impressive 20th round draft pick,…...

Jordan Lyles pitched decent, but was left in the game too long. What is left to be said? The Colorado Rockies are the only team in baseball that goes up 7-1 and their fans feel like it won’t be enough. The fans are rooting for the starter to work deep into the 7th inning, just so the terrible bullpen doesn’t…...

Michael Cuddyer needs to be allowed to test the market. If nothing else, the Colorado Rockies are a loyal bunch. However, if Dick Monfort and his brother Charlie decide that Dan O’Dowd and company are still the best men for the job in Colorado, then they must be prepared to make some major changes on the field. If you’ve followed…...

Corey Dickerson can crush the ball. Predictability is boring. The Colorado Rockies are the definition of predictable. When Juan Nicasio climbed to the mound in the bottom of the 9th inning in San Francisco with the game tied. He predictably gave up the walk-off home run to Buster Posey to give the Giants a 4-2 win. The Rockies had tied…...

Nolan Arenado has been a huge bright spot for the Rockies. For fans of the Colorado Rockies, watching highlights from a game in Oakland or Washington is tough. The reason is because the excitement in those stands comes through the TV. As the heat of a pennant run hits the final stretch, the fans can sense the urgency. They feel…...

Corey Dickerson has been a huge surprise for the Rockies. It’s been a miserable season for fans of the Colorado Rockies. There is no way around that fact. However, there have been plenty of silver linings a midst the negatives. On Saturday night at Coors Field, it looked like the same-old story as Rockies starting pitcher Jordan Lyles walked in…...

Corey Dickerson has been the lone bright spot. Any married man knows, read one Nicholas Sparks book and you’ve read them all. The Colorado Rockies and Nicholas Sparks have something in common. Change the names, adjust the storyline ever-so-slightly, change the location, and there is a new book to write, or a new game in which to tell the same…...

Jordan Lyles solid outing was spoiled by the Rockies pitch count rule. Jordan Lyles glared at Walt Weiss as the Colorado Rockies manager came to take him out of the game in the 6th inning. Starting pitchers aren’t generally thrilled when their manager takes them out of the game, but Lyles face told a different story. The story was one…...

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…...

If the Colorado Rockies are having a tough season, don’t tell Jorge De La Rosa. The lefty picked up his eighth win of the season on Sunday, nailing down a win after his offense gave him a three run cushion in the 1st inning. Jorge De La Rosa always gives the Rockies a fighting chance. For De La Rosa, the…...

Clayton Kershaw threw his first-ever big league no-hitter . There was only one reason to stay awake until the end of the Colorado Rockies game in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. It had nothing to do with the final score. Through six innings, the question was whether or not Clayton Kershaw was going to throw a perfect game or not.…...
