Nearly two months after the final out of the World Series, someone forgot to tell Major League Baseball that the Hot Stove is supposed to provide some warmth during late December.  At least the Colorado Rockies are doing what they can raise the temperature. Little has transpired this offseason by way of significant transactions, and more questions exist than answers…

Since the end of the shortened 2020 season, it seems a lot has gone wrong for the Colorado Rockies. Following baseball’s best record (11-3) on August 8, the team crashed and burned to a second consecutive fourth-place finish in the National League West only to see their rival and bully Los Angeles Dodgers win the World Series. From there, things…

The Colorado Rockies non-tendered David Dahl, Tony Wolters, and Chi Chi Gonzalez unleashing a firestorm about Dahl. Who should be held most responsible for this disaster? How bad is it? And where do they, and you, go from here?

Through a series of ill-conceived roster transactions since his appointment as general manager of Colorado Rockies in October of 2014, Jeff Bridich has been the person most responsible for the club now standing on the precipice of total disaster. It should have been a half-decade long window of contention. Instead, we have this. Bridich should get credit for having overseen…...

The Lost Boys of the Colorado Rockies, a group of no-longer-prospects-but-not-yet-stars, holds the keys to the team and how the fans feel about the team.

DNVR Rockies beat reporters Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons battle for supremacy discussing various hot topics pertaining to the inhabitants of 2001 Blake Street as well all the scuttlebutt in and around the game of baseball. After a strange 60-game regular season and even weirder 16-team playoff format set in  neutral site locations, Major League Baseball did the improbable and…

Welcome to our offseason series, Rox or Roll, where we take an overview of each Colorado Rockies player to determine their value and outlook moving forward. Does this player continue to represent the Rox? Or is his time with Colorado on the downswing and he should roll on up out of here. Next on our list is the exceptionally talented…...

We are 19 games into a 60 game season and while the Colorado Rockies have gotten out to about as good a start as anyone could have hoped for, every single negative is going to be magnified because every mistake is that much more costly. As such, it is only right that we hold the microscope up to every underperforming…...

The Colorado Rockies did not play an altogether poor baseball game against the Texas Rangers on Opening Day, July 24, 2020. They pitched incredibly well. They played fantastic defense. They had the right offensive approach that should be followed for the entirety of the campaign. On a mental level, they played the better baseball game. But fortune was not on…...

If the 60-game sprint leaves the 2020 Colorado Rockies with strained hamstrings and wicked case of plantar fasciitis, it won’t be a major shock. A disappointment, yes. A surprise, no. With an abbreviated and unpredictable season that increases favorable outcomes for even the worst teams – Baltimore and Miami could actually slip into the postseason – not a lot would…...

DNVR Rockies beat reporters Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons battle for supremacy discussing various hot topics pertaining to the inhabitants of 2001 Blake Street as well all the scuttlebutt in-and-around the game of baseball.

For the first time since September 29, 2019, Coors Field opened its gates for the first day of what is affectionately known as Summer Camp. With Opening Day for the 2020 season scheduled for July 23, the latest in the sport’s history, it’s now a three-week sprint to get players ready for the 60-game race to the postseason. Colorado’s array…

You’ve heard by now that with their first overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, the Colorado Rockies selected an outfielder that many scouts and analysts have already labeled the next Cody Bellinger. Standing at 6’5, weighing in at 200 lbs. that can easily be filled out, and sporting a sweet and smooth left-handed swing, 18-year-old Zac Veen can already…...

Following a disappointing 1999 season, the Colorado Rockies were set to undergo a seismic shift. Having already traded Ellis Burks in the summer of ’98, Dante Bichette was next to be dealt away in late October to the Cincinnati Reds; finally, Vinny Castilla was shipped to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Of the original five members of Blake Street Bombers…

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…

For many on the Front Range, Thursday was supposed to represent not only the rebirth of a new season, but the dawning of a new decade in Colorado Rockies history. Instead of the eternal hope that springs forth on Opening Day, society has screeched to a halt all across the country with merely the hope for survival taking precedence over…

Last week, we reminded ourselves how extremely volatile bullpens can be in general and noted that for the Colorado Rockies, this is doubly so. Also this wide window of possibilities, from the best to the worst case scenarios, seems to represent a wide range of possible outcomes for the club in the upcoming 2020 season. This isn’t just the situation…...

On Friday, it was reported by multiple sources that the Colorado Rockies have agreed to terms, avoiding arbitration, with four players: pitchers Jon Gray, Kyle Freeland, and Carlos Estevez as well as outfielder David Dahl. In each case, Colorado got favorable deals just underneath where most evaluators had predicted. The reported $5.6 million for Gray is an excellent value for…

DENVER – In order for a resurgent rebound in 2020, the Colorado Rockies should – under no circumstances – rely solely upon internal improvement. While they must be aggressive in the offseason, searching the world over for anyone and everyone who might be able to help them fill out the roster in a way that doesn’t let down the talent…...
