Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks both had to work on Labor Day, but the Dbacks at least came away with a victory while the Rox got one game closer towards 100 losses. Peter Lambert and Hunter Goodman provided the silver linings, but everyone is still thinking about Daniel Bard and Justin Lawrence. Who’s the closer for 2024? Who’s the starting…
Colorado Rockies head towards 100 losses with a 1-5 homestand against Atlanta and the Toronto Blue Jays. Bullpen struggles, starting pitching surges and the Young Rox excite at Coors Field. Will Daniel Bard pitch again in 2023? Will the starting rotation need a replacement for Austin Gomber? Why is Brenton Doyle getting more national media attention? The DNVR Rockies Podcast…
Osleivis Basabe became the latest Tampa Bay Rays player to come out of nowhere and make an impact. The rookie hit his first career home run and it was a big one against the Colorado Rockies bullpen: a grand slam off Daniel Bard during a nine-run eighth-inning. How bad have Rox relievers been this past week? Were there any silver…
Nolan Jones and Brenton Doyle are breaking rookie defensive records every day and filling out a highlight reel with every fly ball to the outfield. NoJo did it at the plate on Wednesday as well, mashing a go-ahead home run during a back-and-forth contest with the Arizona Diamondbacks. What have Jones & Doyle done for the first time since 2005?…
Juan Soto and Gary Sánchez had quite the weekend in Denver as the San Diego Padres win the final two games of their series with the Colorado Rockies. Peter Lambert and Kyle Freeland weren’t bad, but the offense simply didn’t give enough run support. What’s the latest record set by Ezequiel Tovar? How close were the Rox from spoiling the…
Daniel Bard and Justin Lawrence go back-to-back on blown saves at Nationals Park as the Colorado Rockies lose the series to the Washington Nationals. The young guys show some pop – Nolan Jones, Ezequiel Tovar, Elehuris Montero and Michael Toglia – and the rotation gets steadied, but it’s the bullpen that disappoints. Is a change at closer coming? Should the…
Gerrit Cole did his job and broke a New York Yankees franchise record on Sunday at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, but it wasn’t enough as C.J. Cron mashed a late go ahead grand slam against closer Clay Holmes. Even more dramatics were made during the best game of the season for the Rox who won in the 11th…
In a year of celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Colorado Rockies, Elias Díaz makes history by becoming the first catcher to earn a selection to the MLB All-Star Game. Díaz has been the most valuable player on the club, providing above-average play in the batter’s box and behind home plate. His 68 games at catcher are the second-most and…
The pursuit — rather, the avoidance — of 100 losses is back on for the Colorado Rockies following a 14-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. At 32-51 (.386) and 5-17 against the National League West, including zero series wins in seven meetings, the annual look towards future Rockies seasons is officially upon us. With 10 players currently…
Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers capitalized against Kyle Freeland for a big 6-run inning, but the Colorado Rockies – lead by rookie Ezequiel Tovar, C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk – scratched back with their own big inning. How special was Justin Lawrence’s 5th save of the year? Has Harold Castro been a quiet savior? And what’s the latest…
For those fans who circled the weekend of June 23-25 on their Colorado Rockies schedule for the return of Shohei Ohtani to Coors Field were not disappointed on Night One. Ohtani delivered — not literally, as he won’t be pitching during this series for the Los Angeles Angels — and so did the Rockies during their 7-4 comeback win that…
Fenway Park was the scene of another wild game for the Colorado Rockies. Much like the comeback win on Sunday, the extra-inning win over the Boston Red Sox featured a rain delay and more outstanding performances from the entire roster. Who was better in their Beantown return: Daniel Bard or Connor Seabold? Which player made the more critical defensive save:…
There aren’t a lot of players in Major League Baseball who have had a career quite like Colorado Rockies reliever Daniel Bard. There are even fewer who are as open and honest about that kind of career. All journeys to the big league come fitted with speed bumps, roadblocks and the required perseverance to get on the other side. For…
Wednesday began the official start of MLB All-Star Game voting and the Colorado Rockies have nine players on the National League ballot. The last two years, Colorado had only one selection to the Midsummer Classic: Germán Márquez (2021) and C.J. Cron (2022). Since teams towards the top of the standings typically have more All-Stars than those at the bottom, this…
Ezequiel Tovar gets his first career walk-off hit on a wild Thursday afternoon. Kyle Freeland rebounded from a rough start in Texas, Brenton Doyle hit leadoff for the first time (and earned comparisons to Charlie Blackmon) before leaving the game after a nasty collision with a near game-saving catch and Daniel Bard continued to be dominant with two more scoreless…
Ezequiel Tovar continues to heat up for the Colorado Rockies, who go 4-2 on their road trip to New York and Pittsburgh. Despite trailing the Pirates 3-0, the Rox forge another comeback and improve to 7-2 in the month of May. What’s the latest injury concern? Should we be concerned about Daniel Bard? Can Tovar start to get some Rookie…
When it comes to weather and Springtime, April showers bring May flowers. In baseball parlance, there’s no real equivalent about the upside for having the worst record in the National League and struggling to win at home through the first full month of the regular season. For the Colorado Rockies, their 9-20 record (.310) projects out to a 50-112 record.…
The 2023 Colorado Rockies (5-13) are off to the worst start in the franchise’s 31-year history through 18 games. Owner Dick Monfort thought his team might be no better than .500 going into the season; however, GM Bill Schmidt feels there’s plenty of time to turn things around in spite of the struggles that have led to a seven-game losing…
Nolan Arenado and his band of St. Louis Cardinals get the job down by coming back to win the final two games of the series against the Colorado Rockies. José Ureña wasn’t half bad, but bullpen disappointed for the second straight game. Four home runs over the last two days are promising, especially considering how lowly the power was for…
The bullpen for the Colorado Rockies was set to feature six pitchers age 30 or older on Opening Day. During the summer, another veteran – Tyler Kinley – would also get added to the mix. With Antonio Senzatela out until May at the earliest and questions about the team’s no. 3-5 starters, the backbone of the Rockies would not be…
