With one foot into the new year as the final one steps away from 2022, there’s one last chance to reflect on the highlights from the previous season, especially those memorable moments that didn’t pertain to wins and losses. We strive to share the view from the inside of the beloved teams from our region at DNVR. We also aim…
Steve Reed represented the Colorado Rockies through their first five seasons of existence and pitched in more games than any other for the franchise, spending half his 14-year career in purple. His 140 ERA+ is often overlooked, and remains a staggering figure during an era pitched mostly before the advent of the humidor at Coors Field. Steve Reed Award for…
For every fan who sat through all 162 games this season for the Colorado Rockies, you should be saluted. Despite witnessing the fifth-worst season in franchise history (68-94, .420), there were moments that made an indelible mark on all our memories, even if you experienced it the morning after. That, ultimately, is the reward for committing to a team: memories…
Colorado Rockies GM Bill Schmidt addressed the media on Saturday in the same dugout occupied by several of the prized prospects touted as the reason for optimism. Opening with remarks that thanked the fans for supporting his team, Schmidt highlighted the future of the franchise in the form of their farm system. “Needless to say, the season hasn’t met our…
There’s a sizable opportunity for the Colorado Rockies over the next three days. A trio of contests against the 61-82 Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field could help the 2022 squad from being on the wrong side of history. The 108-year-old ballpark nestled in a neighborhood on the Northside seems quaint, but it’s not the type of location that produces home…
The Colorado Rockies have seven players who will reach free agency at season’s end. Though that group lacks the star power of last offseason’s duo of Trevor Story and Jon Gray, there’s one player who could be highly coveted by clubs looking to contend in 2023. Carlos Estévez may have a career earned run average of 4.67, but his upside…
The Colorado Rockies entered their two-game set with the Texas Rangers before heading out onto the road for 24 of their final 37 games in what is the second-most difficult remaining schedule. Since June 17 when the Rockies swept the visiting San Diego Padres, Colorado has gone 20-12 at home. On Tuesday night, Germán Márquez allowed three runs on two…
The voice of the Colorado Rockies on AT&T SportsNet and host of his eponymously titled podcast, Drew Goodman, goes in depth on a myriad of baseball subjects: preparing for a broadcast, 2022 MLB Draft Pick Gabriel Hughes, Shohei Ohtani and the Rockies’ trade deadline dealings. Who was the best two-way player to every appear in purple? Which Rockies’ are least…
The voice of the Colorado Rockies, Drew Goodman, shares his thoughts on the 2022 All-Star Game before breaking down the Rox first-half of the season. Who have been the pleasant surprises? What’s more important than Kris Bryant winning a battle title? And who needs to have a big second half? Plus, we dive into the latest class of Rockies’ prospect…
Colorado damaged San Diego’s pitching all series long to win the four-game set with Thursday’s 8-5 victory. Who was a smash success despite giving up five earned runs? Which reliever is back in Black’s good graces? And which prospect could the Rockies draft on Sunday? DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE POD! iTunes link — Stitcher Link — Pocket Casts…
Colorado trailed San Diego by three runs on two separate occasions during a wild Wednesday night. How did José Iglesias join an elite group of Rockies’ shortstops? What did Bud Black do for the first time in over a year? And what does Drew Goodman of AT&T SportsNet think of these Padres? Rockies unite with unique footwear thanks to memorable…
After the Padres snapped a Rockies’ winning streak against them on Monday night, the Rox started a new one on Tuesday. Who earned the MVP chain? Which player didn’t want any part of Friars? And how many made impressive defensive stops this time? We’ll take a spin around the NL West and, yes, we’re playing games to figure out what…
The voice of the Colorado Rockies for AT&T SportsNet, Drew Goodman, offers insight from the road on players such as José Ureña (does he deserve another start?), C.J. Cron (will he be named an NL All-Star), Charlie Blackmon (how much has he come back to life?) and José Iglesias (how enjoyable has watching him been this season?). Plus, we chatter…
The unusual road trip to Minnesota produced a one-hitter, a three-hitter and a whopping 30 men left on base for the Colorado Rockies, who managed to win one of the games with those unique scenarios. Updates on Kris Bryant, as well as few championships that were in play this week… and we’re not even talking about the Stanley Cup Champions.…
Despite coming through for 13 hits and 8 runs in Miami, Colorado cannot hold on during a 9-8 loss. What dubious record are the Rockies set to reach as a team in 2022? How did Feltner fare as the new no. 5? And is there an exact date Kris Bryant will return? Plus, we celebrate Minor League Monday… on Wednesday……
The Colorado Rockies have produced 11 batting title winners in their 29 seasons thanks in part to the largest outfield in the National League that readily permits bloop singles (and doubles) and fortunately placed baseballs between defenders spaced by larger than normal gaps. On the road, the Coors Field Hangover presents hitters with breaking balls possessing exaggerated movement compared to…
Monday represented the perfect opportunity to ask any manager about the state of their team as four months remain and the season is roughly one-third complete. As the baseball adage goes, one doesn’t worry about the standings until Memorial Day. The unofficial start of summer was greeted with a come-from-behind victory over the Miami Marlins to open a seven-game homestand…...
Ryan Feltner’s second start of the week is even better than the first. How dominant was he on Memorial Day? You’ll never guess what made his 93rd pitch of the day so special. Plus, we rank the top five Colorado Rockies for the month of May in our latest Blaze Street Bombers. C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk enjoy 2013 Arkansas…
Suzie and Brendan break down nearly everything that went wrong against the Giants while celebrating everything that went right for Patrick in San Francisco. Kuhl loses it despite tying a career-high eight strikeouts and the lineup produces just four hits in third and final game of the series sweep. Rockies battle more than just the Giants as elements in San…
San Francisco takes their ninth game in a row from the Rockies as Antonio Senzatela is missing his best stuff. Gabe Kapler makes some interesting moves in the fifth as part of a new plan of attack this season. Learn more about RHP Riley Smith from GM Bill Schmidt as well as the special guests at Oracle Park this week.…
