It wasn’t a blowout like the night prior or a walk-off heartbreaker as in the series’ opener, but it was a loss, nonetheless. The competitive contest, 5-3, still featured 12 strikeouts for San Diego pitching for the third consecutive game. In a scene similar to Tuesday night’s loss, Colorado got a solo homer in the first – Trevor Story’s 10th…
SAN DIEGO, CA – As flights from all over world touch down in Southern California carrying not just the powers that be of Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball for the 2019 Winter Meetings, but also international players from Japan and Korea, the talk of the offseason to this point is the hometown San Diego Padres. After a 2018-19…
The Colorado Rockies’ season continues to spiral away from them. When they pitch, they can’t hit, and when they hit, they can’t pitch right now. We saw a little bit of both on Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants as the bats fell silent for the first eight innings, and the moment they awoke the pitching fell apart en…...
The Colorado Rockies extended their losing streak to seven games but it took the San Francisco Giants 18 innings to put them away in a marathon gut-punch loss. Of course, the game ended on a tormenting play when Chris Iannetta should have been able to make a force out at home (and maybe even a double play to send it…...
Chad Bettis has been destroyed by the Rockies. There are 53 mountains in Colorado that are over 14,000 feet. On July 22nd, after another blown lead by the bullpen, it feels as if the Colorado Rockies have been on a 14,000 foot slide down the standings. After Tuesday night’s loss, the club has lost 24-of their last-28 games. In 2007,…...
Trading De La Rosa would be a mistake for the Rockies. The Colorado Rockies season is over. No one is arguing that they have any chance anymore. With another season in the books well before the All-Star break, the Rockies are in a position to have the rest of the league pick through their roster and try to find a…...
The Rockies acquired Brett Anderson for Drew Pomeranz. The chorus from Colorado Rockies fans is growing louder. The grumbling has hit a new level. Fans want Dan O’Dowd and the rest of the front office removed from 20th & Blake. The front office deserves plenty of criticism, and I have certainly been vocal in my opinion that change is extremely…...
Dan O’Dowd doesn’t get it. Plain and simple. Let the annual offseason excuse-tour begin. In case you missed it, Dave Kreiger, formerly of the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post, and currently co-hosting The Dave Logan Show on 850 KOA, had a sit down with Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd to discuss the happenings at 20th & Blake. To…...
Drew Pomeranz looks scared to death on the mound for the Rockies. Mentioning Drew Pomeranz rough night is something that has to happen when evaluating the Colorado Rockies ugly loss to the Miami Marlins on Monday night at Coors Field. However, the young lefties struggles are a subplot to the disaster that is the Rockies non-existent offense. On Monday, the…...
Tulowitzki’s return didn’t spark a lifeless Rockies offense. As the excuses continue to seep out of those who work for the Colorado Rockies, the team continues to lose ugly baseball games. On Tuesday night, after the Rockies had made journeyman Eric Stults look like a Hall of Famer, Jerry Schemmel, the voice of the Rockies on 850 KOA, and employee…...
Drew Pomeranz was terrible for the Rockies on Saturday. Want to know what happened in the Colorado Rockies game in Arizona on Saturday night? Dig into the memory bank, back into a dark time. Look somewhere in the August to September range of 2012. Replay that game and that basically sums up the Rockies performance. The hitting was a lackluster…...
Drew Pomeranz was unimpressive in his 2013 debut. It is ok to give credit to an opposing pitcher every now and then. But when a team with the offensive capabilities of the Colorado Rockies scores a total of eight runs in a three game series, it constitutes an offensive issue. On Sunday the Rockies lost to the Giants 5-2 on…...
Jorge De La Rosa continues to dominate, despite a bruised thumb. Nolan Arenado lined a single back up the middle, scoring Josh Rutledge from second base in the bottom of the 9th inning, giving the Colorado Rockies their fifth consecutive victory over the Giants at Coors Field. On Saturday Arenado came through in the clutch, but when a team wins…...
The Rockies have to act quick if they want to contend. The Colorado Rockies cannot afford to have Juan Nicasio continue to search for his stuff on the mound. There are times when a pitcher doesn’t have it. A bad night at the office, a bad game. Everyone is allowed those bad days. Every team is going to have games…...
The Rockies are a better team if Jeff Francis is part of the pastnot a part of the future. This Colorado Rockies lost their best player last week. However, that didn’t stop them from finishing the week just one-half game out of first place. The prevailing feeling among Rockies fans is cautious optimism. Everyone wants to believe that the team…...
Sorry Jeff, it’s time for the Rockies to say goodbye. The Colorado Rockies saw their chances at tying the game in the 9th inning on Saturday fade away with one quick grab by Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko. Tyler Colvin, making his 2013 debut after a rough spring training landed him in Triple-A, hit a Luke Gregerson pitch as hard…...
Juan Nicasio was brilliant on Sunday. Elich Gardens has nothing on these Colorado Rockies. On Sunday, a day the Rockies generally forget they are playing, the club put together arguably their best game of the 2013 season. They defeated the defending World Champion San Francisco Giants in shutout fashion, 5-0 to complete a four-game series victory. With his job on…...
Tyler Chatwood made his case on Saturday. A win on Sunday, and no one will be talking about the Colorado Rockies lackluster offense over the prior two weeks. A win on Sunday, and the conversation will move back to the Rockies being a contender. On Saturday night, the Rockies rode the wave of momentum to a 10-2 victory over their…...
Juan Nicasio needs some Triple-A seasoning. It’s time. The Colorado Rockies must start making moves to salvage a season that started with so much promise. It may seem early to declare a team in need of wholesale changes when they were expected to finish in the basement of the National League West. The problem is, they have the talent to…...
The Rockies might get a big test if Chacin is out for a while. Seven wins in a row and the talk isn’t about how this Colorado Rockies team is defying the odds. If the noise the Rockies are making wasn’t muffled enough by the Denver Nuggets heading into the NBA Playoffs, it was completely muted when starting pitcher Jhoulys…...
