A very special AD FREE(!) edition of the DNVR Rockies Podcast runs through the news of the day for the Colorado Rockies while breaking down the latest free agent signings. How big of a deal is the Wander Franco contract? And how could the Steven Matz signing with the St. Louis Cardinals be a harbinger of things to come 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…...
Jorge De La Rosa was phenomenal on Friday night. If the Colorado Rockies make a playoff run in 2014, a big reason why will be Jorge De La Rosa. Remember when everyone wanted to get rid of De La Rosa? Remember when he gave up a grand slam to Madison Bumgarner? After Friday night’s performance, all of De La Rosa’s…...
Jordan Pacheco had a rough day. It’s the little things. The Colorado Rockies are a talented group. They have a lineup that has somewhere in the neighborhood of 23 or 24 other teams in baseball jealous. Their pitching might not be deep, but they have guys who are proving they can win. Despite being in the top three in the…...
Jordan Pacheco had a rough night on Wednesday. The Colorado Rockies can’t win on the road. Also, water is wet. The Rockies lost a 4-2 decision in San Diego on Wednesday night, dropping their record on their current seven-game road trip to 2-4. They have to salvage an early evening game on Thursday in order to come home without a…...
Winning in San Francisco has been a difficult task for the Rockies. Some may leave their hearts in San Francisco. The Colorado Rockies seem to have their hearts ripped out there. Year-in and year-out, the Rockies follow the same script at AT&T Park. Sure, the scenarios don’t line up exactly, and the players aren’t always the same, but the games…...
Jordan Lyles had a pretty good start in his Rockies debut. When the Colorado Rockies signed LaTroy Hawkins and immediately dubbed him as the closer, many fans were scratching their heads. Rex Brothers was coming off of a near-All-Star appearance and performed very well in the closer’s role for the final six weeks of the season. He seemed to be…...
Drew Pomeranz was unimpressive in his 2013 debut. It is ok to give credit to an opposing pitcher every now and then. But when a team with the offensive capabilities of the Colorado Rockies scores a total of eight runs in a three game series, it constitutes an offensive issue. On Sunday the Rockies lost to the Giants 5-2 on…...
Wilin Rosario broke out on Thursday night. These Colorado Rockies fight. It doesn’t always work out for the Rockies, as was the case on Thursday night against the Padres, as the Rockies lost 6-5 in 12 innings to start the four-game series on the wrong foot. Despite the loss from the Rockies, this team displayed something that they have been…...
Jon Garland might be the odd man out if he doesn’t figure it out soon. Jim Tracy would have loved his post game press conference on Monday night if he was still with the Colorado Rockies. It was the perfect opportunity for him to use a classic cliche line that he seemed to pull out far too often in his…...
Jordan Pacheco launched his first career grand slam Friday night. By Bryan Head (@Bryan5280) Jordan Pacheco’s first career grand slam propelled the Colorado Rockies over the San Francisco Giants at Coors Field on Friday night, ending a 10-game losing streak against their division rivals. The Rockies fell behind early when former Rockie Marco Scutaro singled off of Jorge De La…...
De La Rosa’s performance was critical on Sunday. Jorge De La Rosa was supposed to be the wild card in the Colorado Rockies rotation. Instead, he is looking like a true ace. De La Rosa was re-signed by the Rockies after the 2010 season, it came as a bit of a surprise. The left-hander had made a name for himself,…...
Is it time to start believing in the 2013 Colorado Rockies? Call them gritty, call them resilient, call them relentless, call them anything in that you want, but the time has arrived to quit calling them a bad team. On April 16th, late into the night, the Colorado Rockies became just the third team in all of Major League Baseball…...
No need to rush Nolan Arenado to the big leagues. One year later, the talk is very much the same. Colorado Rockies prospect Nolan Arenado is turning heads at spring training in Scottsdale. On Monday, in a 16-6 loss to the Seattle Mariners, the third baseman launched his fourth home run of the spring, and the third in as many…...
The 2012 Colorado Rockies season came to an end on Wednesday. Congratulations! The Colorado Rockies season is over, and you made it through.

Guillermo Moscoso was at-bat in the game’s most crucial moment. The Colorado Rockies have been writing the same story over and over again. With one night left in the season, there was no reason to change the script. The game ended on a walk-off 3-run homer off the bat of Aaron Hill, but the turning point came much earlier than…...
Jordan Pacheco has been better than anyone expected. It shouldn’t be a surprise anymore. Jordan Pacheco can flat out hit. If things had gone according to plan for the Colorado Rockies, Pacheco would have only been the starting third baseman for about six weeks. As everyone is well aware, things haven’t gone according to plan for the Rockies. However, if…...
Chris Nelson is making a competition out of third base. The Colorado Rockies are in the stretch run. They play 20 games in 20 days to finish out the worst season in club history. On Friday night, they got off to a good start, defeating the San Diego Padres 7-4 at Petco Park. The hope for Rockies fans is that…...
The end is near for the 2012 Rockies. It almost would have been fitting for the 2012 Colorado Rockies to have a no-hitter thrown against them. It looked like it might happen for six innings as the Braves held on to a 1-0 win in Atlanta on Wednesday night. More fitting, Jordan Pacheco was the Rockie who ended the no-hit…...
