It doesn’t matter where they are coming from. This new…...
This might not be controversial, but there typically isn’t anything super about a super-utility player. When a player is not overtly skilled at one position or cannot move to another place on the field without issue, their time in MLB may be limited… unless they are adequate enough to carry numerous types of mitts in their equipment bag. For Charlie…
It may have been more than three weeks overdue due to the players’ strike of 1994, but the return of baseball to cities all across Major League Baseball was well worth the wait in Colorado.

Hitting a home run in consecutive pitches is an impressive feat for any team. For any player to do so in consecutive at bats is rather remarkable, too. But on consecutive days, to end one game and start another? That’s just Nazty. With two outs and two strikes on him, down 3-2 in the 12th inning to the Phillies, Charlie…
Antonio Senzatela has come a long way since signing as a 16-year-old out of Venezuela, both literally and figuratively. After an injury-plagued season at Double-A in 2016, Senzatela made the Opening Day roster in 2017 with a mere seven starts about Class High-A. The 22-year-old tossed five shutout innings in his big league debut to begin the season in Milwaukee…
On Opening Day 2016, Colorado traveled to Arizona to pit their shiny new toys against one another.

DENVER – The result of every Colorado Rockies game counts… until it doesn’t. Unfortunately, plenty of fans and analysts around the game seem yet undecided on this issues.
