NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 2022 Winter Meetings for the Colorado Rockies was incredibly quiet featuring only the trade of an expendable reliever for a minor league starting pitcher. The 2023 edition was downright mute. Even when their activity picks up, it will be equally as forgettable. “We’re looking for somebody to go with (Elias) Díaz,” GM Bill Schmidt said in…
A trio of defenders for the Colorado Rockies have been named finalists for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award in the National League and one looks to be a lock to bring home the hardware. 3B Ryan McMahon, SS Ezequiel Tovar and CF Brenton Doyle were announced as finalists for the defensive honor at their respective position on Wednesday. Should McMahon…
Citizens Bank Park continues to provide home field advantage for the Philadelphia Phillies. Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola have benefitted on the pitching side while the entire lineup – Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos and Bryce Harper – have enjoyed home runs sprees of their own. Do the Arizona Diamondbacks belong in the NLCS? Can Chase Field provide the same boost…
In a decade from now, fans of the Colorado Rockies will think about the 2023 season and remember one number: 103. The most losses in franchise history is certainly a statistic that will resonate in the minds of Denver sports enthusiasts. Other numbers have stood the test of time since joining the league in 1993. No one has forgotten the…
Nolan Jones was head and shoulders the highlight of the 2023 season, not just because it seemed to come out of nowhere, but for the possibilities he brings over a 162-game season. Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle shined as well, but there were a lot of negatives that contributed to the 103-loss season. When will they get back into contention?…
The worst season in Colorado Rockies history has finally come to a close. Surpassing the century mark with 103 losses, Dick Monfort’s organization finally did the one thing long touted as a source of pride. In an contest lasting until the 11th inning when Brenton Doyle used his speed to take two bases on one pitch, Colorado defeated the Minnesota…
CHICAGO, Ill. – Time flies when you’re a rookie shortstop setting records on nearly a daily basis for the Colorado Rockies. One year ago today, Ezequiel Tovar was making his Major League debut and getting a base hit in the first two pitches he saw as a big leaguer. On Saturday, he was firmly entrenched in the Rockies lineup for…
The return of the Blake Street Bombers did not disappoint in any manner. Not during the pre-game celebration of the Colorado Rockies’ 30th Anniversary, on the field in a pair of wins over the San Francisco Giants and certainly not in a media availability with the club’s first icons. Larry Walker, Ellis Burks, Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette gathered in…
National League West is not an easy division, certainly not for the Colorado Rockies who simply haven’t had an answer this season and entered with zero series wins against the division. Arizona Diamondbacks played like a team vying for a place in the postseason and the San Francisco Giants, the Rox opponents this weekend, are in a similar boat. Kyle…
Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks both had to work on Labor Day, but the Dbacks at least came away with a victory while the Rox got one game closer towards 100 losses. Peter Lambert and Hunter Goodman provided the silver linings, but everyone is still thinking about Daniel Bard and Justin Lawrence. Who’s the closer for 2024? Who’s the starting…
Hunter Goodman helped snap a six-game losing streak for the Colorado Rockies and end the road trip from hell with a win over Baltimore Orioles. Excluding multiple rough outings by the bullpen, veterans Charlie Blackmon and Elias Díaz also broke out at the plate while Evan Justice joined Goodman as prospects who made their Major League debuts. What record did…
Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles on the road wasn’t going to be easy, but it’s been a hellish start for the Colorado Rockies at Tropicana Field. Blown saves, bad umpire reviews and a ballpark that just doesn’t look right for baseball. Who broke out of a major slump in a significant way? Has the starting rotation become the backbone…
Luis Robert Jr. was kinda quiet at Coors Field this weekend with the Chicago White Sox. He added his 33rd home run of the season, but it wasn’t enough against the Colorado Rockies. The starting pitching was quite nice for the Rox. Peter Lambert, Kyle Freeland and Chris Flexen did their job to put Bud Black’s club in winning position.…

Charlie Blackmon returns from the IL after missing 53 games with a fractured right hand to boost the Colorado Rockies over the Arizona Diamondbacks. By snapping a five-game losing streak, the Rox lean ever-so slightly away from 100 losses. Regardless, Ezequiel Tovar – the future of Coors Field – starred in a big way at the plate to help lead…
Ezequiel Tovar and Corbin Carroll face off for three games in Denver as the NL Rookie of the Year Award candidates move in opposite directions. The Arizona Diamondbacks have been historically bad over the past month-plus and Carroll has taken a step back since starting the 2023 All-Star Game. Tovar continues to climb the rank of greatest rookie seasons in…
Colorado Rockies 10-game road trip ends with a four-game sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kyle Freeland, Peter Lambert and Austin Gomber did fairly well to pick up the starting rotation, but the offense struggled to score runs at Dodger Stadium. Are the Rox going win some awards for their rookies? How good has the defense been…
Fans of the Colorado Rockies will never forget winning the 2018 National League Wild Card Game at Wrigley Field in 2018. They can also recall the day before, a loss in Game 163 against the Los Angeles Dodgers for ownership of the NL West pennant. Since nearly winning their first division title — something that continues to evade them for…
Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals were looking to make history on Friday night against the Colorado Rockies. Neither were successful. The 9-4 victory over the Redbirds snapped a 12-game losing streak in St. Louis. It was the most Colorado had scored at Busch Stadium since plating 10 in 2009. Led by Nolan Jones and his 4-for-5 performance that…
Ryan McMahon led the charge during the shoutout over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Colorado Rockies avoid the three-game sweep at the hands of the historically bad A’s. Ty Blach stepped up big and Justin Lawrence slammed the door shut for another save. How many people showed up at Coors Field this weekend for two last place teams? Did the…
