Remember going on vacation last time? Remember when all that work that you had every intention of getting done before you headed out? Remember when 3 pm rolled around and you realized there was no way to get everything you intended to get done accomplished? Well, that is probably exactly how the Colorado Rockies feel. The only difference is…...
Don’t be deceived by the 11-3 final score on Sunday. The Colorado Rockies swept the Atlanta Braves in a four-game series to head into the All-Star break. The wins were fun, and Sunday’s game came with an offensive explosion, but the sweep wasn’t because of the offense. Plain and simple, the Rockies took all four games from the Braves…...
For years, disgruntled fans of the Colorado Rockies have been calling for a boycott of Coors Field. They say that the only way ownership will make changes is if they get hit in the pocketbook. The problem, however, is that summer nights, with the sun setting over the Rocky Mountains, in the dry, crisp air, provides such a beautiful…...
It’s been a common theme for the 2015 Colorado Rockies. The starter goes out and gives up a few runs early and the offense is forced to play catch-up all night long as the starter continues to slowly give up runs. On Monday night in Oakland, David Hale gave up four 1st inning runs on two, two-run home runs.…...
There is no way around it. After the Houston Astros destroyed the Colorado Rockies by a score of 8-4 for the second consecutive day at Coors Field, the verdict is in. This Rockies team is going to take a long time to fix. That has always been the reality, but small glimpses of hope have appeared recently and given…...
The Colorado Rockies have come back to earth. After a brief run of good pitching, coupled with good hitting that inspired fans to believe that the Rockies might be good enough to turn their season around, climb out of the cellar and become a team that might be able to make a ridiculous run to the playoffs in 2015.…...
There is no way around this one, the Colorado Rockies endured a heartbreaking loss on Tuesday night at Coors Field. Simply put, the Grand Slam that Rafael Betancourt gave up in the top of the 9th with two outs and two strikes with a three-run lead was about as bad as it could have been. It erased about 17…...
Baseball is a funny game. Two weeks ago, all Colorado Rockies fans could talk about was how badly the bullpen was being overworked because of the Rockies starting pitchers inability to get deep into the game. The starters were nibbling at the strike zone, walking way too many opposing batters, then being forced to throw pitches down the heart…...
There are some things that aren’t said often. One of those things is that a young starting pitcher was dominant, pounding the strike zone and delivering a game for the ages. That is what young starting pitcher Chad Bettis did for the Rockies on Friday night in Philadelphia. It wasn’t long ago that all eyes were on the young…...
Just when things didn’t seem like they could get any worse, the Colorado Rockies starting pitching revived itself. In the nightcap of the doubleheader on Saturday, David Hale made his Rockies debut with a flourishing outing. He pounded the strike zone and pitched the Rockies to victory. On Sunday it was Chad Bettis’ turn. The former high-prospect who struggled…...
Everyone in Colorado is sick of the rain. Anyone whose job is at Coors Field has to be dreaming of a vacation to the desert. On Saturday at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies finished their doubleheader with the San Francisco Giants at 11:52 pm, picking up a victory on the back-end of the twin bill. The two games couldn’t…...
In preparation for trimming the roster down to 25 players before Sunday’s deadline, the Rockies have opted for other talent over some of their key players from 2014. Colorado has sent both LHP Rex Brothers and OF Brandon Barnes to the minors. Brothers has long been thought to be the closer of the future for the Rockies, but struggled in…...
The “If we stay healthy” narrative isn’t starting of so well for the Rockies. On Jorge De La Rosa: “Other than playing catch, he’s pretty much shut down,” Weiss said. Unlikely he’s ready for start of #Rockies season. — Nick Groke (@nickgroke) March 24, 2015 De La Rosa has been battling a groin injury all of Spring Training, and will…...
[vc_bunyad_ads] [/vc_bunyad_ads] It’s rare when any Major League team outright cuts someone they once considered their ace. When the Colorado Rockies do it, it’s a complete shock. On Sunday, out of seemingly nowhere, the Rockies announced that they had outright released starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin. This is the same pitcher who the Rockies touted so highly as he made his...
Salt River Field at Talking Stick The time has arrived. The Colorado Rockies head back to Scottsdale to train for another season. For every baseball fan, this is an exciting time of year. There is reason for every team to hope, and the Rockies are no exception to that. This is a team that has been decimated by injuries in…...
