Nobody ever brought a baseball glove to the ballpark because it just completed their outfit. It’s a device meant for one thing: catching baseballs. And if your family happens to have season tickets in a spot just beyond an outfield wall in fair territory, like Reif Faulkner’s does, you could easily find yourself in an actual position to impact the…
The business of baseball can oftentimes be a very serious one. Still in the aftermath of the trade deadline, it can be easy for everyone from fans to media to the players and managers themselves to think of the game as a series of cold-blooded business decisions made with millions of dollars at stake. It is a game built…...
DENVER – While it took only two pitches for the Rockies to fall behind the Giants on Sunday, LHP Kyle Freeland settled down to deliver five innings of solid work in a 6-2 win. On a day when the first 15,000 fans at the ballpark received his bobblehead, Freeland waggled for five frames, surrendering only two runs, both on solo…...
At 50-58 entering Wednesday’s 2pm MST trade deadline, the Colorado Rockies and their General Manager Jeff Bridich could not plausibly justify adding to an underperforming, yet solid roster.

To say Colorado would have been pleased…...
On the 50th Anniversary of the first moon landing, the Colorado crew witnessed a blastoff that traveled much higher than the 14ers dotting their mountainous state. The on-field temperature felt like playing a game on the launch pad amid liftoff, 94 degrees at first pitch, but with 44% humidity it felt more like 105 degrees. Before the game, Bud Black…...
When Lawrence Peter Berra uttered one of his many humorous malapropisms, “It’s déjà vu all over again,” major league baseball in Colorado existed purely as a pipe dream. His witticism certainly should be applied to the events at Coors Field this weekend and, perhaps, that of the last few weekends. Though Sunday’s affair started on the right note for…...
There was nothing that felt normal about the Colorado Rockies second of three against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night. The game didn’t begin until 9:18pm after a three hour and eight minute weather delay featuring heavy lightning and rain. The after effects made for some questionable defense from both teams and a slew of triples. The back-and-forth affair eventually…...
