You’re going to win a bet with this. A lot of bets, actually. When reflecting on the greatest players to ever suit up for the Colorado Rockies, your list may reach the 20s before you even think of a pitcher. The Blake Street Bombers are an easy five. Todd Helton makes six. There may be the entire lineup from 2007,…
Todd Helton will be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. There is zero doubt about it now. The 17-year veteran of the Colorado Rockies has finally begun to receive significant support from voters in the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) during his fifth year on the Hall of Fame ballot. Now, the only question is whether Helton will be…
After some good news regarding Todd Helton’s Hall of Fame candidacy, we launch into a conversation about the good, the bad and the ugly regarding the World Cup. Why is advancing technology so critical? How can MLB grow the game internationally? And why aren’t the stars promoting the game more? After Ezequiel Tovar’s rapid rise through minors, who’s next to…
Few expected the Arizona Diamondbacks to finish ahead of the Colorado Rockies in 2022. Yet, Dbacks won six more games and seem poised to open their window of contention sooner than later. Jesse Friedman from PHNX Diamondbacks help us understand a few lingering questions. How did they turn it around so quickly? Is there not enough room for Madison Bumgarner…

The Colorado Rockies have been known for a lot of pretty cool things over the years. For whatever is made of the ballpark and its impact on stats, nobody denies it is a beautiful place to take in a game. Sure, there has never been consistent winning for the franchise but there have always been a handful of incredible ballplayers…...
Entering their 22nd season of play, the Colorado Rockies had written the names of only two men onto the Opening Day lineup card at first base: Andrés Galarraga and Todd Helton. When Colorado signed Justin Morneau, few imagined the 33-year-old who suffered from lingering complications surrounding a concussion would be able to rebound and carry the torch of All-Stars. Donning…
Fowler has been a huge surprise. Who is this guy? Dexter Fowler, suddenly a guy more fitting of the cleanup role, launched two home runs on Friday night, both of which came when the game was tied, helping the Rockies to a 7-5 victory at Petco Park in San Diego. It defies reality. Fowler has always been talented. He was…...

What will matter for the Colorado Rockies is how they approach the game over the final month of the season. The Diamondbacks and Giants will playing for something, but the Rockies will be…...
One walk. That is the key for Ubaldo Jimenez. There is a line full of good numbers for Jimenez, eight innings pitched, five hits, one earned run, eight strike outs. All of those numbers show a great performance by the right-hander. All of them are great, but the number that is key to all of them is the one walk.When…...

The Rockies stink.It may sound negative. It may sound like pessimism, but let’s be honest, this team is looking more and more like a team…...
Things more exciting than watching the Colorado Rockies:Knitting a sweater. Working a 16 hour day. Pulling out fingernails with tweezers. Maybe it’s not that bad, but seriously, did anyone think the Rockies had a chance to win Wednesday night’s game before it started? It wasn’t much of a surprise with All-Star, and now 12-game winner Jair Jurrjens on the mound…...
Seth Smith might not say anything about being used as a platoon player, but his bat is doing some talking.On Tuesday night, Smith gave the Rockies a 3-0 lead in the top of the sixth inning on a no-doubt two-run homer down the right field line.

The Rockies struggles with injury were a major…...
It is September. Usually that means fans of a team managed by Jim Tracy can let out a sigh of relief.
