Noah Yingling from RoxPile and Call To The Pen shares his thoughts on which infielders deserve acknowledgement in a Colorado Rockies Hall of Fame. Todd Helton, Troy Tulowitzki and Vinny Castilla seem like obvious guarantees, but who else would join them? MLB and the Players’ Association met on Thursday. Nothing was worked out, but some promising developments transpired. And the…

This fun crossover with Paul Holden of Locked On Rockies covers a breadth of topics relating to the Denver Nine: the 5th spot in the rotation, the need for bullpen support, the loss of Jon Gray and whether Kris Bryant would be a better option than Trevor Story for the 2022 roster. And we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the…

Context is king.  This has very much flown out the window in the last few years as sound bites have joined forces with a 280 character-limit causing society to lose all ability to decipher what anything means in the greater sense.  As such, it feels like a good time to attempt to uncover it all for Brendan Rodgers and put…...

Repeatedly gesturing with a right-hand patting against his heart and pointing outward to all those in attendance, Trevor Story said goodbye on Wednesday in a moment unlike any witnessed in Colorado Rockies franchise history. It wasn’t made unique by the two-hour rain delay that postponed the final game of the season, nor the stadium lights shutting off momentarily in the…...

The prototypical batting lineup probably looks the same for most folks when they dream up a perfect team. The speediest player on the roster – center fielder or shortstop – has traditionally batted first. (Of course, having a player with the best on-base percentage leading off may take some precedence in the modern age of sabermetrics, but the position is…...

Hello Colorado Rockies fans. I would ask how you are doing but we all know the answer to that question. Some fans may have finally found their way into some sort of optimism in this current mess but it would be more than a stretch to say anyone is happy about where this team stands. Many have already declared their…

The MLB stove is heating up. DJ LeMahieu rumors are frustrating Rockies fans and the New York Mets are making a splash, acquiring Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco from Cleveland. AJ Haefele joins Drew and Patrick to break it all down and begin a debate about where the Colorado Rockies are right now.

Since I began writing about baseball in 2013, and for the six years that followed, whenever I was asked the semi-regular question about who was the most underrated player in baseball, I never hesitated in my answer: it was DJ LeMahieu. It was. As the fates would have it, LeMahieu became a free agent after the Colorado Rockies most successful…

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. Just three months prior, it was questionable as to whether or not Major League Baseball would get started on the 2020 season. Now, we’ve…

The list of players to have hit .400 is short and illustrious. Wee Willie Keeler. Ty Cobb. Rogers Hornsby. Fourteen Hall of Famers, all of whom managed to bat .312 or above in their career, including Cobb’s career .366 batting average, decorate the list of the most elite hitters to play the game of baseball. The most recent and memorable…

As a part of our Quest for the Asterisk series, we’ll be taking a look at the players who will be most pivotal in taking the Colorado Rockies back to the postseason in 2020. Every team needs their stars to lead by example, both on the field and statistically. It’s a waste of time to tell you that Nolan Arenado…

On the Colorado Rockies version of Mt. Rushmore, there are three indisputable faces inscribed. The first belongs to Todd Helton, Mr. Rockie, who spent 17 seasons in the Majors and two years in the minors, all with Colorado. The second belongs to Larry Walker, the first and to this point still only, Hall-of-Famer in franchise history. The third belongs to…

Rockies fans fondly remember Yorvit Torrealba as the catcher who helped lead Colorado throughout the 2007 season and hit .500 in the playoffs on the way to the club’s first and only World Series. As a 13-year veteran in major league baseball, the Venezuelan-born backstop has been a valuable member to several contending organizations during his time, including five postseason…

The Washington Nationals entered the 2018 season with the same core of players that won the National League East by an impressive 20 games the previous year and were expected to do much of the same in the final year before Bryce Harper entered free agency. To think they would fall short of their ultimate goal once again only to win…

A rudimentary internet search reveals the first game played at Coors Field took place April 26, 1995. Dante Bichette stepped to the plate in the bottom of the 14th inning and launched a three-run walk-off homer into the night to christen the new stadium in the grandest way possible. However, that’s not entirely accurate. Before the delayed start of the…

Coming off a successful 2017 campaign that saw the Rockies make the playoffs for the first time in eight years by winning the second National League Wild Card, your pals in purple picked up right where they left off for Opening Day 2018: Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ. The 11-8 loss in the NL Wild Card game the previous season…

DENVER – Following a second-straight playoff appearance in 2018, Colorado lost a quartet of players to free agency at the combined cost of $54.75MM: Adam Ottavino (three-years, $27MM), DJ LeMahieu (two-years, $24MM), Carlos González (one-year, $2MM) and Gerardo Parra (one-year, $1.75 MM). This offseason, only two players will be free agents: C Drew Butera and 1B Yonder Alonso. Originally acquired…...

On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman continues his conversation with Jake Story about the odd connections between the Rockies and the Yankees and how MLB can do a better job of making its product appealing to a younger audience....

Scottsdale – A message was sent loud and clear the day the New York Yankees signed DJ LeMahieu without any resistance from the Colorado Rockies; It’s time for a new era in Denver at second base. The writing had been on the wall for some time, arguably reaching all the way back to when the club inked Charlie Blackmon to…...
