The Colorado Rockies begin their 2016 season Monday. BSN Denver has your complete roster breakdown.
The Colorado Rockies have a slew of inexperienced but high-potential pitchers set to start the 2016 season. Jon Gray and Chad Bettis took the time to talk to BSN Denver about how they are growing into their roles.
Colorado Rockies GM Jeff Bridich likes what he sees out of his young pitching staff so far in spring training camp 2016. Is this the best crop of pitchers in team history?
The Colorado Rockies rotation had the worst ERA in the majors in 2015. Giving up one-third of a run more than the second worst team every single game. In 2016, the Rockies have a lot of young, 'high impact' pitchers as they enter Spring Training.
He might be the forgotten member of the Colorado Rockies rotation, but he also might be the key to the club becoming respectable. Jordan Lyles and the Rockies avoided arbitration on Wednesday, signing a 1-year $2.95 million deal. The deal makes sense for both sides, giving Lyles a modest raise after an injury-shortened season. The righty was acquired by…...
The 2015 season was rough for the Colorado Rockies starting pitching. They lost starter Jordan Lyles in late May and failed to produce a 10-game winner. Not to mention free agent acquisition Kyle Kendrick giving up a MLB leading 33 home runs and sporting a dismal 6.32 ERA. However, there were a few bright spots, Jon Gray made his MLB…...
There is no easy solution when it comes to fixing the Colorado Rockies, but the issue that comes up the most is always the same. They need pitching. They need starting pitching. They need relief pitching. They need a new pitching coach. It all revolves around the guys on the mound. But it is the type of pitcher that…...
The Colorado Rockies got to see the exact opposite of where they are heading. When Golden-native Mark Melancon closed out the Rockies in the 9th inning, giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-3 win, the Pirates were in celebration mode. They successfully clinched a playoff spot and with that out of the way, set their sights on the suddenly struggling…...
Celebrating the little wins is a step towards being happy. While fans in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Houston and Chicago are eagerly anticipating an October that could bring excitement for their baseball team, fans of the Colorado Rockies are spending their Saturday night celebrating that their team won’t lose 100 games. It truly is a tiny victory, but two months…...
There is no way around it. After the Houston Astros destroyed the Colorado Rockies by a score of 8-4 for the second consecutive day at Coors Field, the verdict is in. This Rockies team is going to take a long time to fix. That has always been the reality, but small glimpses of hope have appeared recently and given…...
The Colorado Rockies put up football scores at Coors Field and forget to show up on the road. That’s what tradition has bestowed upon the Rockies. Their fans have almost accepted that if the team is going to make a run at the playoffs, that they simply have to cross their fingers and hope for a few wins away…...
Baseball is a funny game. Two weeks ago, all Colorado Rockies fans could talk about was how badly the bullpen was being overworked because of the Rockies starting pitchers inability to get deep into the game. The starters were nibbling at the strike zone, walking way too many opposing batters, then being forced to throw pitches down the heart…...
Everyone in Colorado is sick of the rain. Anyone whose job is at Coors Field has to be dreaming of a vacation to the desert. On Saturday at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies finished their doubleheader with the San Francisco Giants at 11:52 pm, picking up a victory on the back-end of the twin bill. The two games couldn’t…...
These are the games that good teams win. They are also the games that bad teams lose. The Colorado Rockies are the latter, and therefore they lost this time. The final score was 4-3. Jordan Lyles was very good again on Monday, but he spoiled a really good outing with something that has become a trend for him. He…...
Walt Weiss isn’t the only one sick to his stomach. Colorado Rockies fans are feeling nauseous after enduring what turned into an 11-game losing streak on Wednesday night in Anaheim as they dropped their second consecutive game in which they scored just one run. Joking aside, Weiss never made it to the ballpark on Wednesday. He was taken to…...
Tickets were two-for-one at Coors Field for the Colorado Rockies double-header on Wednesday. The price was a rip-off. The poor souls who had to sit through two embarrassing excuses for baseball games for more than six hours came home with nothing but heartburn from the hot dogs and heartache from the baseball team. If it isn’t Rock bottom for…...
It’s all about the pitching. The Colorado Rockies are talented. They have a lineup that rivals anyone in the National League. They have superstars and budding superstars. Their defense is better than anyone in baseball, specifically around the infield. The one area where the Rockies don’t match up well with the rest of the league, the National League West…...
The Colorado Rockies are always surrounded by “if’s.” Every year national baseball pundits talk about the Rockies with a big question mark on top of how they will perform. It always comes down to “if.” If Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez stay healthy, if the offense can hit away from Coors Field, if some of their young prospects bloom,…...
Facing Zack Grienke the night after facing Clayton Kershaw just isn’t fair. The Colorado Rockies had to deal with that reality on Saturday night and they faired about as well as most would expect. Besides a 1st inning run and a two-run bomb from DJ LeMahieu, the Rockies simply couldn’t get anything going on offense. With the offense dealing with…...
It couldn’t last forever. The Colorado Rockies lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 on Friday night. The Rockies six straight road wins to enter the season would be as far as they would go. Game seven on the road came against a certain pitcher who happens to be very good. In fact, his three Cy Young awards and National…...
