Ryan McMahon led the charge during the shoutout over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Colorado Rockies avoid the three-game sweep at the hands of the historically bad A’s. Ty Blach stepped up big and Justin Lawrence slammed the door shut for another save. How many people showed up at Coors Field this weekend for two last place teams? Did the…
Monday night’s game was supposed to be about the return of Nolan Arenado to Coors Field. A potential for Germán Márquez to record 11 strikeouts and become the all-time leader in the category for the Colorado Rockies also appeared as a top story. Instead, there was no celebrating Colorado’s 7-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals after Márquez was removed…
C.J. Cron has been the best player for the Rockies this season, but there’s a chance he’ll get overlooked the National League All-Stars are named on Sunday. How good have his numbers been? And what’s standing in his way? At 11 games under .500 entering Wednesday, Colorado looks to be sellers at the trade deadline. Could Cron be the best…
We know the sluggers, but several starters in Rockies history have had impactful careers with the franchise. Sam Bradfield from Purple Row looks at which rotation mates should be included in a team Hall of Fame. And the coaches for Double-A Hartford Yard Goats have been announced, including one that has already had success with both Sam Hilliard and Michael…
Derek Montilla & Jesse Friedman join the show to draft from the cadre of players who have suited up for both the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks. SPOILER: Patrick’s team is the best! We commiserate over both teams being stuck in the NL West with those California clubs as well as figure out how bad having good attendance at one’s…
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…...
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.
Jorge De La Rosa’s journey to become a LoDo legend took more twists and turns than the Elitch Gardens’ Mind Eraser. Signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks out of high school in Guadalajara, Mexico, the left-hander would flame out after 23 games as a professional before returning to his homeland to pitch for the Monterrey Sultanes of the Mexican League. The…
When Nolan Arenado’s batting average dipped below .200 following a fly ball out in his first at bat, there was no real cause for alarm; while it may have been only the 11th game of his first full-season in the majors, the 22-year-old would have preferred a better start. In his second at bat, he laced a single past the…
Coming off a successful 2017 campaign that saw the Rockies make the playoffs for the first time in eight years by winning the second National League Wild Card, your pals in purple picked up right where they left off for Opening Day 2018: Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ. The 11-8 loss in the NL Wild Card game the previous season…
Even with the rise of home runs across the board this season – including on pitches that have historically been outs – the baseball adage that good pitching beats good hitting is still accurate in 2019. The rate of homers is higher than ever, but throughout the game several starting pitchers and relievers have been able to suppress scoring,…...
Jorge De La Rosa shouldn't have his number retired, but that should not detract from how important and impressive his Colorado Rockies career has been.
In what could have been Jorge De La Rosa's final game for the Colorado Rockies, the club's most successful pitcher tossed a dud and the Rockies lost 10-5.
The Colorado Rockies season has almost officially come to a close as they are now on the brink of mathematical elimination from the NL West at 72-78.
The Colorado Rockies were never really in their 11-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks despite scoring the first three runs of the game.
Cristhian Adames was the hero in the Rockies' second walk-off win of 2016, a come-from-behind 6-5 victory.
Jorge De La Rosa has re-emerged as a key piece in the Colorado Rockies rotation.
[Elite_video_player id=”9″] Jorge De La Rosa turned in his second very good outing in a row and even though the Rockies blew their 21st save of the season, Colorado’s offense exploded in extra innings in a 9-4 win against the Washington Nationals. With one out in the top of the third, Charlie Blackmon turned on an inside pitch and…...
