Mitchell Carroll from DNVR Rapids joins us to discuss the latest international tournament following the announcement of World Baseball Classic rosters. Which Rockies will participate? Who was surprisingly left off the Team USA roster? And which former Rockies will be representing their country? Plus, what MLB can learn from the epic event that is Super Bowl 57? Why don’t more…

Voice of the Colorado Rockies, Drew Goodman, discusses the unique week of games in Chicago, including Kyle Freeland’s dominance over the city. How many times have the Rockies faced an AL Cy Young Award winner? Could Ezequiel Tovar make his debut after the release of Jhoulys Chacin? We also discuss with Goodman the importance of recognizing Roberto Clemente and all…

Nothing in life is ever guaranteed, not even for professional athletes. It stands to reason that when a player makes their Major League debut, it’s a culmination of a life-long pursuit, a moment in time seared into the mind forever. For 4,714 ballplayers – or 20.8% percent of 22,718 players in the history of the game – that first base…...

Pretty much everything that went wrong during the four-game losing streak in Philadelphia ended up going incredibly well on Friday night. A date with the worst team in baseball will have those effects sometimes. The first thing manager Bud Black offered following the 10-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds may not have been obvious. “There wasn’t one thing that stood…...

Think back to deepest and darkest recessed of your mind. Somewhere, through all the disappointment and frustration caused the 99 day lockout, there exists information about the first month of the Colorado Rockies offseason. Because of the transaction freeze, they’ll now have less than that to complete the second part of the offseason as Bud Black and his squad get…...

On Thursday, the Colorado Rockies announced a three-year deal with catcher Elias Díaz worth approximately $14.5 million. The 31-year-old had an incredibly productive season at the plate, slugging .464 thanks to 37 extra-base hits. His 18 home runs were the fourth-most in franchise history by a catcher. Díaz did most of his damage at the dish after mid-June, homering in…

How much difference can one year make? If you’ve been watching the Colorado Rockies lately, you’ve probably noticed that they’ve been a much better ballclub since the end of May. If you’ve been watching closely, you’ve definitely still noticed that several of their fundamental flaws remains the same, though. The offense is unreliable, especially on the road where the whole…...

Happy Anniversary, Rockies fans. Sort of.  Excluding the mammoth trade of Troy Tulowitzki in 2015, a deal that saved the franchise $50 million in the process, the last deadline deal Colorado made in a losing season was on this date in 2012.  At 23 games under .500, 16.5 games behind the newly-implemented second Wild Card and three years removed from…...

Grantland’s Jonah Keri wrote, “the Rockies could be this year’s out-of-nowhere squad that rides 99th-percentile luck to a big season.” This fell in line with my spring training prediction of 68 or 88 wins for the 2015 Colorado Rockies. There was an alternate universe where Jon Gray was called up 15 days into the season, Troy Tulowitzki played 140 games in Denver,…...

The “If we stay healthy” narrative isn’t starting of so well for the Rockies. On Jorge De La Rosa: “Other than playing catch, he’s pretty much shut down,” Weiss said. Unlikely he’s ready for start of #Rockies season. — Nick Groke (@nickgroke) March 24, 2015 De La Rosa has been battling a groin injury all of Spring Training, and will…...

[vc_bunyad_ads] [/vc_bunyad_ads] It’s rare when any Major League team outright cuts someone they once considered their ace. When the Colorado Rockies do it, it’s a complete shock. On Sunday, out of seemingly nowhere, the Rockies announced that they had outright released starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin. This is the same pitcher who the Rockies touted so highly as he made his...

Could the Rockies be good in 2015? Something that many people don’t know about a Colorado Rockies blogger is that they simply cannot win. That has nothing to do with the baseball team. It has everything to do with what gets written. Trust me. Write something about how the Rockies could be good, or how a player is destined for…...

The Rockies have made a couple of moves this week in an effort to bolster their pitching. The club signed John Axford on Monday and added longtime Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick yesterday.

Lance Lynn dominated the Rockies on Monday night. BY: CAMERON PARSONS Shutting out the Colorado Rockies at home is not an easy thing to do, but Lance Lynn and the Cardinals bullpen showed it can be done. On a night where the Rockies pitching had to be tight, they faltered once again and allowed eight runs. Jhoulys Chacin gave up...
