The only outfielders to ever win a Gold Glove Award with the Colorado Rockies are Larry Walker (1997-99, 2001-02) and Carlos González (2010, 2012-13). Neither played center field — Walker played in right field and González in left field during those seasons — and the two never played together. The 2023 Rockies have one of the better defensive outfield duos…

Trevor Story came away with a qualifying offer on Sunday, but Jon Gray was not afforded the same respect much like Ryan McMahon was not selected as the NL Gold Glove Award winner.

Ian Desmond has decided to step away from the Colorado Rockies in 2021. Drew and Patrick react to the news and respond to your fan origin stories.
The 2021 National League West Champions, San Diego Padres. At least its not the Dodgers again, right? Following the acquisition of two front line starters and an international free agent, the Friars are not planning to contend for a Wild Card, nor do they just want to win the division. They want to be the best in the sport. And…
It may sound strange to consider, but even coming off the heels of a losing season and the overwhelming absence of a World Series win – not to mention even a single National League West pennant – there has never been a better time to be a baseball fan from Colorado. The run for Rocktober in 2007 was as magical…
On this episode of the DNVR Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons, eventually joined by AJ Haefele, discuss Ian Desmond’s decision to step away from MLB for the 2020 season and consider the powerful and thoughtful statement that came along with it.
“The image of officer Derek Chauvin’s knee on the neck of George Floyd, the gruesome murder of a black man in the streets at the hands of a police officer, broke my coping mechanism. Suppressing my emotions became impossible.” On Monday night, Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond announced that he will be stepping away from the game he loves in…
It may be the eighth game of Spring Training already, but some Rockies pitchers are just starting to shake off the winter rust and get into Cactus League games. German Márquez, Wade Davis, Jake McGee and Scott Oberg made their 2020 premier on Sunday at Salt River Fields in a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Márquez was fantastic…
Baseball is chaos. And if you are going to survive it, you’ll need someone you can trust. The Colorado Rockies 2019 campaign has been littered with debris that they thought had been marked for the trash bin before consecutive playoff appearances in 2017. They have simply played some of their worst collective baseball of the last four years and…...
DENVER – On a day closer Wade Davis was relieved of his ninth-inning duties, it was the removal of David Dahl that came as the biggest surprise Friday night when the 25-year-old was carted off the field with a right ankle sprain. Colorado won 5-4 on Friday night, but it was the health of Dahl serving as the memorable moment.…...
At 50-58 entering Wednesday’s 2pm MST trade deadline, the Colorado Rockies and their General Manager Jeff Bridich could not plausibly justify adding to an underperforming, yet solid roster. Bridich was able to swing two trades, both of which were not on anyone’s radar nor will have any major impact on the 2019 season. In more of a seller’s mode,…...
It has been a season for quoting the late, great Yogi Bera. The Colorado Rockies have found themselves once again in a situation perfectly encapsulated by another one of Hall of Fame catchers’ gems. When you come to a fork in the road, take it. The 2019 season has not gone the way anyone associated with the club has…...
These days, it feels like the Colorado Rockies are cursed. A terrible stretch of baseball going into and coming out of the All-Star break has shifted a club in the middle of the hunt to one way on the outside, left to pick up the pieces in determining what went wrong and how it can be fixed.

To say Colorado would have been pleased…...
On the 50th Anniversary of the first moon landing, the Colorado crew witnessed a blastoff that traveled much higher than the 14ers dotting their mountainous state. The on-field temperature felt like playing a game on the launch pad amid liftoff, 94 degrees at first pitch, but with 44% humidity it felt more like 105 degrees. Before the game, Bud Black…...
