Happy Anniversary, Rockies fans. Sort of. Excluding the mammoth trade of Troy Tulowitzki in 2015, a deal that saved the franchise $50 million in the process, the last deadline deal Colorado made in a losing season was on this date in 2012. At 23 games under .500, 16.5 games behind the newly-implemented second Wild Card and three years removed from…...
When the Colorado Rockies did not sign even one major league free agent this past offseason, it was a reminder they had once invested $172.5M in two starting pitchers. It was December of 2000 and less than three years later, neither would be seen in purple pinstripes ever again. Mike Hampton (eight-years, $121M) and Denny Neagle (five-years, $51.5M) were signed…
We at BSN Denver are running a series where we rank how valuable each of the Colorado Rockies’ 51 players was to the team in 2015. Value was calculated by statistics, viewing, and how memorable each player’s contributions were. The rankings will be from last to first, you may view the full rankings (here) Player: Drew Stubbs Stats: (With Colorado) 51 G, 114 PA,…...

Let’s play a quick game of “Guess The Recap.” Here is the scenario: Kyle Kendrick is going up against Michal Wacha. If you guessed a 7-0 Cardinals victory with a lifeless Colorado Rockies team going through the motions for nine innings, congratulations, you are the winner. The Rockies traded Troy Tulowitzki to the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, in…...
The Colorado Rockies lost 3-2 on Wednesday at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The reality is, no one cares. It sounds flippant, but the day-in and day-out results really have very little effect on anything anymore in 2015. Essentially, the final results after game 162 will be that the Rockies didn’t win enough games and lost too many. How those…...
It happened again on Sunday, the Denver Post pumped out another story by Woody Paige about the terrible, no good, awful Colorado Rockies. It was as predictable as it was annoying. It also reminded us of one thing; Woody Paige is completely irrelevant when it comes to baseball. Paige, as he stumbled and bumbled his way through a standard…...
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…...
Michael Cuddyer is fun to watch, but should the Rox re-sign him? Crisis averted. The Colorado Rockies will not lose 100 games, as so many had predicted that they would. A 15-2 drubbing of the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field ensured that the most they can lose is 99 games. Two more wins in their final nine games will keep…...
Drew Stubbs was the hero on Saturday night for the Rockies. Apologies for the cynicism in advance. The Colorado Rockies won on a 12th inning walk-off single from Drew Stubbs and it couldn’t have been less exciting. Make no mistake, a win is always a good thing for the team that you root for, but what ended up being the…...
Jordan Lyles pitched decent, but was left in the game too long. What is left to be said? The Colorado Rockies are the only team in baseball that goes up 7-1 and their fans feel like it won’t be enough. The fans are rooting for the starter to work deep into the 7th inning, just so the terrible bullpen doesn’t…...
Michael Cuddyer needs to be allowed to test the market. If nothing else, the Colorado Rockies are a loyal bunch. However, if Dick Monfort and his brother Charlie decide that Dan O’Dowd and company are still the best men for the job in Colorado, then they must be prepared to make some major changes on the field. If you’ve followed…...
Todd Helton overshadowed a great day for the Rockies. Todd Helton showed up at Coors Field, and apparently dropped off some of his bats. In what will go down as one of the best days in the 2014 season, but also one of the best days in Colorado Rockies fans memory, Helton’s number was retired in a moving pregame ceremony,…...
The Rockies should have dealt LaTroy Hawkins. “If it is broken beyond repair, don’t fix it.” Those were the words of Dan Fellman, producer of seemingly every show on Mile High Sports Radio, on Thursday afternoon when talking about the Colorado Rockies lack of a move at the trade deadline in a season going down the toilet. On their way…...
Brett Anderson was brilliant on Wednesday night. Give credit where credit is due. The Colorado Rockies have been horrible, but they would have been much better had it not been for the fluke injury that Brett Anderson sustained in April, shelving him for the remainder of the first half of the season. While Anderson has a multi-page injury history, it…...
The Colorado Rockies have given lots of high fives in 2014. Twenty-three. It’s a random number, but it is a number the Colorado Rockies should be proud of on May 11th. At essentially the quarter point of the 2014 Major League season, the Rockies have racked up 23 win. GO back in time and ask 100 hardcore fans what they…...
Rex Brothers’ struggles continued on Wednesday. April was good to the Colorado Rockies. Despite the final pitch of the month being a Miguel Montero walk-off home run to send the Rockies home with a loss, the month overall was very good to the club. What looked like a sweep ended in disappointment. The Rockies blew a four-run lead and, for…...
Franklin Morales will be back in purple pinstripes in 2014. Dealin’ Dan is back in action. Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd earned the nickname perhaps infamously back in 1999 when he took the reins of the club and almost immediately traded seemingly half of the roster. On Wednesday O’Dowd and Bill Geivett continued what has been an extremely busy…...
Christian Friedrich has shown some flashes of serious talent. The Colorado Rockies should apologize to Christian Friedrich and the rest of the starting pitching staff. On Saturday night at Coors Field, the rookie took the mound against the hottest team in baseball, the Cincinnati Reds. The lefty pitched his way through the first inning in just eight pitches, looking like…...
