In the 31-year history of the Colorado Rockies, only four players who have ever sired a big leaguer. Jackson Holliday of the Baltimore Orioles is well on his way to making his father, Matt Holliday, the fifth. The first overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Stillwater (Okla.) High School, Holliday had great success in his first season…
Any time a superstar is traded, there is void on the field and in the clubhouse. Left behind are players burdened with answering questions and filling a space that simply cannot be. With Nolan Arenado’s trade to St. Louis, a clubhouse of close friends for over a decade must now move forward without its most talented leader. In the case…
The Colorado Rockies have certainly had their share of players that you forgot donned the purple pinstripes.
The bad news keeps coming for Colorado Rockies fans. The Colorado Rockies lost 3-2 on Tuesday night in New York. It was the latest in a long stretch of baseball in which the Rockies have failed to get the job done. Former Rockie Eric Young, Jr., however, did get the job done. He made a brilliant catch to rob Todd…...
The Colorado Rockies lack a sense of urgency. The Colorado Rockies lost a baseball game at home on Saturday night 7-5. The offense wasn’t as terrible as it has been for the past five weeks, and the pitching wasn’t as good as it has been for the majority of the season. Nothing came together perfectly. Collin McHugh, making his Rockies…...
Eric Young, Jr. isn’t going to be easy to forget for many fans. If Jim Tracy was still around he would have spent his five minutes with the media after the game tipping his cap to Washington Nationals starter Ross Ohlendorf. The Colorado Rockies got owned by the Triple-A call-up on Wednesday night at Coors Field. The former Pittsburgh Pirate…...
Jon Garland might be the odd man out if he doesn’t figure it out soon. Jim Tracy would have loved his post game press conference on Monday night if he was still with the Colorado Rockies. It was the perfect opportunity for him to use a classic cliche line that he seemed to pull out far too often in his…...
De La Rosa has been very good. It is a common theme. The Colorado Rockies get on an airplane and forget to bring their bats. On Thursday night in Arizona, the Rockies did it once again, dropping the first of a four game set with the Diamondbacks 3-2. The lack of offense, coupled with an early error and some weird…...
Wilton Lopez continued his disappointing season on Sunday. The stage was set for the perfect ending possible on Sunday for the Colorado Rockies. Eric Young, Jr. was at the plate with the tying run at third base and the winning run at first base. With the Rockies giving away Eric Young, Sr. bobbleheads, and having Young, Sr. throw out the…...
Is it time to start believing in the 2013 Colorado Rockies? Call them gritty, call them resilient, call them relentless, call them anything in that you want, but the time has arrived to quit calling them a bad team. On April 16th, late into the night, the Colorado Rockies became just the third team in all of Major League Baseball…...
No need to rush Nolan Arenado to the big leagues. One year later, the talk is very much the same. Colorado Rockies prospect Nolan Arenado is turning heads at spring training in Scottsdale. On Monday, in a 16-6 loss to the Seattle Mariners, the third baseman launched his fourth home run of the spring, and the third in as many…...
Jordan Pacheco has been better than anyone expected. It shouldn’t be a surprise anymore. Jordan Pacheco can flat out hit. If things had gone according to plan for the Colorado Rockies, Pacheco would have only been the starting third baseman for about six weeks. As everyone is well aware, things haven’t gone according to plan for the Rockies. However, if…...
Tyler Colvin has been a great addition to the Rockies. As much heat as Dan O’Dowd takes, there is one thing that is certain. His trade of Ian Stewart and Casey Weathers to the Chicago Cubs for Tyler Colvin and DJ LeMahieu was a huge win for the Colorado Rockies. On Monday night, the Rockies got another huge game from…...
Josh Roenicke has shouldered a huge load for the Rockies. As Giancarlo Stanton’s home run rocketed into the center field bleachers, the Colorado Rockies lead was gone. Three batter’s later the Marlins took the lead for good on John Buck’s RBI double. The Rockies still had a chance to take the lead back in the 8th inning, but ultimately the…...
DJ LeMahieu has been a big part of the Rockies great week. Four in a row. That’s right, the Colorado Rockies have won four games in a row. The Rockies are surprisingly playing good baseball. They are actually exciting to watch. On Thursday night the Rockies continued their great homestand, defeating the Miami Marlins 5-3 at 20th & Blake. They…...
EY Jr continues his impressive play. This Colorado Rockies team is the only team in baseball that gets a 4-0 lead and it feels like they are going to need three or four more runs to win the game. The Rockies walked off to sweep their second series of the season, winning 7-6 on a 2-run Tyler Colvin double. As…...
Matt Belisle has been extremely good for the Rockies. The Colorado Rockies won their first series at home since the first weekend in June, barely holding on to an 8-6 victory on Tuesday night. The fact that the Rockies haven’t won a series at home since June is enough of a statement itself of the 2012 season. The victory on…...
The Rockies have found success from some unlikely sources. When the Colorado Rockies broke camp in early April, no one anticipated an August lineup that included Eric Young, Jr., DJ LaMahieu, Jonathan Herrera, and Chris Nelson in the same night. However, that lineup helped the Rockies score eight runs in the first three innings, propelling the team to a 9-6…...
Eric Young, Jr. has refused to be ignored in 2012. Despite a heart-wrenching loss for the Colorado Rockies on Sunday in San Francisco, a game in which the Rockies dropped 9-6 after clawing back from a 3-0 deficit, the club is starting to see a silver lining to a dreary season. That silver lining is coming in the form of…...
If Jeremy Guthrie had been even decent, the season would be better. If this Jeremy Guthrie would have shown up at the beginning, the Colorado Rockies might be in a different position. The embattled right-hander went six strong innings, giving up just two runs on six hits. He struck out three and walked only one. The lone mistake Guthrie made…...
