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…

From Dexter Fowler and Jorge De La Rosa to Jason Giambi and Justin Morneau, Drew and Patrick take a look at the greatest players in Colorado Rockies history… who were never All Stars. Plus, a few thoughts on the newest chapter in the Nolan Arenado mess.
The link between the Montréal Expos and Colorado Rockies is substantial and will forever be strongest when discussing the relative impact of the recently elected Hall of Famer Larry Walker. Considering the last active member of Montréal – Ian Desmond, a 2004 3rd round pick of Les Expos – plies his trade in the Centennial State, numerous connections between the…
The Colorado Rockies are looking for a new manager. BSN Rockies has you covered with a breakdown of everyone we think is in the running for the job.
After 20 MLB seasons, Jason Giambi called it a career. The former Athletics, Yankees, Rockies, and Indians slugger released a statement to the New York Daily News. “After 20 seasons, I have decided to officially announce my retirement as a Major League Baseball player. “I really want to thank my wife, Kristian, for going on this journey with me.

Walt Weiss becomes the Colorado Rockies 6th manager. In a long-awaited decision, the Colorado Rockies have chosen Walt Weiss as their next manager. The former American League Rookie of the Year has never managed, or coached in professional baseball. He served as a special assistant to the general manager for several years, but never in an official coaching role. Weiss…...
The Rockies should be very hesitant to trade this guy away. Trade season is here and the Colorado Rockies are sellers. There is no doubt about that. The team has already dealt Jeremy Guthrie and Marco Scutaro, two veterans brought in to stabilize the clubhouse. Next in line would be Ramon Hernandez, and Jason Giambi if he wasn’t on the…...
Jeremy Guthrie may have made his last pitch as a Rockie. The hits keep coming for the Colorado Rockies…or, more appropriately, the hits keep coming for those batters opposing the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies lost a 5-1 lead to the Pirates, and the baseball game, 9-6 on Wednesday. It would have been a bad trade even if Jason Hammel hadn’t…...
The Rockies should take whatever they can get for Guthrie. The Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Angels are the only two franchises who have never lost 100 games in a season. That might change if the Rockies keep the same pace in the second half that they have been on in the first. Dropping the Independence Day game 4-1…...
Giambi provided the walk off blast to give the Rockies a big win. Talk about drama. Jason Giambi delivered a 3-run walk-off home run to straight away center field to give the Colorado Rockies a 8-5 win and a series victory over the first place Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field. The home run came after the…...
One night after Jason Giambi delivered a walk-off, no doubt home run to right field, manager Jim Tracy decided to play that card again. This time, however, Tracy forgot that the club was down by three runs when Giambi stepped to the plate instead of Chris Iannetta in the bottom of the ninth inning. The logic of the move is…...
That was different. A wild ninth inning, highlighted by Dexter Fowler nearly running into an out, followed by Carlos Gonzalez hitting the ball as hard as humanly possibly, followed by an intentional walk to Troy Tulowitzki, led the Colorado Rockies to Jason Giambi’s turn in the lineup. After fouling off two pitches, Giambi launched a no-doubter to right field, giving…...
They went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. They left 11 men on base, including leaving the bases loaded on two separate occasions. They couldn’t seem to get the knockout blow when they needed it most.But they won.On Friday night in the Bronx. The Colorado Rockies, led by a 3-for-4 night from Jason Giambi, and a stellar pitching performance from…...
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. Then, in the top of the ninth inning, when the Rockies bullpen had allowed…...
One month ago, this would have been a blowout.Instead, the Colorado Rockies rallied from a 4-1 deficit to beat the Cleveland Indians 8-7 at Progressive Field. With two outs in fifth inning, Chris Iannetta harmlessly walked to turn the lineup over. Then Carlos Gonzalez singled, and Chris Nelson followed with a two-strike single up the middle. Suddenly the bases were…...
The fight is back in the Colorado Rockies. Unfortunately, the fundamentals are nowhere to be found.On Saturday in front of a crowd with a renewed sense of enthusiasm, the Rockies played themselves out of the game, before playing themselves back into it, before finally playing themselves out of it again.The early going was ugly. Misplayed balls, bad throws, no one…...
Splitting a doubleheader against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday is an afterthought.The Colorado Rockies got horrible news between game one and two. Jorge De La Rosa, who had to be removed from the opening game after just 2-1/3 innings. He went to the hospital for an MRI, where a the tests revealed a torn ulner collateral ligament, the worst case scenario.De…...

With 416 career home runs coming into Thursday, Jason Giambi had never hit three in the same game. That changed in his first three at-bats, as the lefty-slugger knocked three no-doubt bombs to right field, propelling the Colorado Rockies to a 7-1 win over Philadelphia.Giambi had watched video of some of his past at-bats and realized that he was crouching…...
