Sunday’s comeback of epic proportions, a five-run rally against rival Arizona in the bottom of the eighth – the first such comeback in nearly five years – was precisely what Colorado needed. Not just because it was against another NL West squad or because they avoided a sweep. But it was how they strung together six at bats without trying…

It looked for a moment like the Colorado Rockies were going to keep riding their scorching hot offense right to a sweep of the Atlanta Braves despite another rough outing for Tyler Anderson on Sunday.

The Colorado Rockies took the winning ways from the most recent homestand out on the road for at least the first game in Atlanta, once again playing by the formula that has them digging out of the early-season hole.

DENVER – When it rains, it pours. And right now, it’s raining trips to the trainer’s room for the Colorado Rockies since the beginning of April’s showers. It began with pitchers Antonio Senzatela (blister infection and right heel) and Chris Rusin (mid-back strain) opening the season on the Injured List (IL).

When Rockies players reported to Spring Training at Salt River Fields, three men entered the race to become the starting second baseman.

The 24-year-old was the winner of the Abby Greer Award as the best player in Spring Training after batting .424 (25-for-59) with 3 home runs…

Just when it seemed the presence of Mr. Barrels would be missing on the 2019 Colorado Rockies, an unforseen injury has brought him back with his brothers. After a delayed start to 2018 that limited Daniel Murphy to 91 games because of knee surgery, the first baseman will now deal with his first stint on the Injured List with Colorado…...

Before the Rockies got a chance to really display their new $24MM purchase, an unfortunate injury will force them put him back in the display case for another day joining reliever Chris Rusin and starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela. Signed in large part because of his postseason resume and swing that plays perfectly for the confines of Coors Field, Daniel Murphy…

With a 2-0 start to the 2019 season and their first consecutive victory at Marlins Park in the same calendar year, the Colorado Rockies have a lot of positives to reflect upon. Starting Pitching Opening Day ace Kyle Freeland was perfect going into the fourth inning, retiring eleven straight batters – four on strikeouts – to start the game. He…...

The Colorado Rockies, to put it plainly, have more bravado and confidence in themselves to win a World Series than they ever have before. Welcome to the 2019 season.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The Colorado Rockies had, by all accounts, a relatively quiet offseason in between their exhilarating 2018 campaign and the upcoming 2019 one filled with so much promise. They let some of the most recognizable and talented players in the history of the franchise leave in free agency, mostly to the New York Yankees, and made only one…...

Scottsdale, AZ – The scene inside the Rockies clubhouse for Daniel Murphy’s arrival at the Salt River Fields baseball complex today was rather unlike his previous experiences in New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago. When the veteran infielder first appeared in front of his locker, he was descended upon by a scrum of reporters totaling just three. The former Chicago…...

DENVER – Sometimes a baseball season is 162 games. Sometimes, it’s just one. And then there are those times when after playing 162 games and then one more… and then one more… your season becomes defined by a three-game sample size in which you were handily swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in a very public display of offensive futility. Y’know,…

For their entire history until the moment that DJ LeMahieu arrived in 2012, the second base position had been a revolving door of question marks for the Colorado Rockies. Over the next seven seasons, LeMahieu emerged as easily the most prolific and beloved player to ever man the position for the franchise. He began slowly at first, surprising most of…...
