No matter what has happened to the Colorado Rockies during the last five years, the memories of the 2018 National League Wild Card Game simply cannot be erased. Colorado has won 10 playoff games during their five postseason appearances in 31 seasons. Seven of those came in 2007. Two others came in elimination games. But the most recent came exactly…

It may have been a far cry from the franchise-record 96 wins prescribed before the season, but the Colorado Rockies had their share of highlights during a 26-34 (.433) campaign.

When it comes to playing the Padres at Coors Field the last few seasons, there’s one Rockies starting pitcher that you don’t have to worry about.

But before Rockies fans pulled out the final strand…
The Colorado Rockies took the series 3-1 from the San Francisco Giants on Thursday afternoon, but it wasn’t easy. It looked for a moment like Mauricio Dubon had ruined a fantastic afternoon from Kyle Freeland and stolen a victory for the Giants when a three-run jack in the seventh suddenly put Colorado behind, 3-1. The Rockies responded with ferocity, plating…...
The Colorado Rockies improved to 6-2 thanks to another full-team win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon, completing the series win.

The disparity between 5,280 feet above sea level at Coors Field and the relative zero feet of elevation of most coastal cities has often plagued any traveling baseball team tasked to make adjustments on the hitting and pitching side of the game. So, when the Rockies were gifted with a three-game series against the Marlins to begin their 2019 season…

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…...
After a career-worst performance that saw him exiting the first inning courtesy of a shellacking by a weak-hitting Pittsburgh squad Thursday night at Coors Field, starter Chi Chi González had a fantastic outing for Colorado on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium against the National League’s best offense. What difference a week makes. Twirling a shutout through six innings, González got…...

Baseball and the supernatural may not have a lot in common, but walks and ghosts are very similar: both will come back to haunt you. Rockies starting pitcher German Márquez threw six strong innings of four run ball, but a leadoff walk in the sixth scored immediately thereafter on a homer to reduce Colorado’s lead to one. That lead was…...
