Danielle Allentuck from the Colorado Spring Gazette gives us the rundown on covering the Colorado Rockies as a daily beat reporter. Who are the easiest players to talk with and to which cities are the most enjoyable to travel? “Rockies’ Ryan McMahon, once a ‘terrible’ defender, now a Gold Glove candidate” by Danielle Allentuck DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE…
Out with the old and in with the new. Goodbye 2021. Hello 2022. That’s good and well, until you realize that baseball’s offseason overlaps and everything that happened since the final game of the year on October 3 has direct impact on what could happen on April 1. If you’ve missed anything that’s happened this offseason, we’ve got it wrapped…
To paraphrase the great American singer-songwriter and New York Mets superfan Billy Joel: Darling, I don’t know why the Rockies go to extremes. In their 29th season of play, never before have the Colorado Rockies experienced such vacillating results in so many ways. Each day seemingly brings a surprising statistic of excellence – typically when at home – or a…...
Josh Fuentes is the physical embodiment of the Colorado Rockies. Overlooked and unrelenting, they are two sides of the same coin. One is the relative of a notable superstar and the other is a team expected to finish in the basement of the National League West. Both were born in 1993. Undrafted out of a small NAIA university, Fuentes has finally…
The Colorado Rockies shocked the Los Angeles Dodgers and the MLB world by winning 8-5 on Opening Day. Chris Owings stands out as the offense hangs six runs on Clayton Kershaw.
The 2021 Rockies’ season may not hold a ton of highlights, but Opening Day sure did during a 8-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Approved for 42.6% capacity or 21,363 fans, Coors Field was alight with cheers by the hometown hopefuls, the first time since September 27, 2019 due to safety protocol brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic. Following…
After a week of Spring Training games, the picture is beginning to develop for the Colorado Rockies. We know the results from those contests should be taken with a grain of salt. The highs and lows must be viewed with an err on the side of caution. (Insert any other idiom you can think about for this time of the…
Any time a superstar is traded, there is void on the field and in the clubhouse. Left behind are players burdened with answering questions and filling a space that simply cannot be. With Nolan Arenado’s trade to St. Louis, a clubhouse of close friends for over a decade must now move forward without its most talented leader. In the case…
Nearly two months after the final out of the World Series, someone forgot to tell Major League Baseball that the Hot Stove is supposed to provide some warmth during late December. At least the Colorado Rockies are doing what they can raise the temperature. Little has transpired this offseason by way of significant transactions, and more questions exist than answers…
The Lost Boys of the Colorado Rockies, a group of no-longer-prospects-but-not-yet-stars, holds the keys to the team and how the fans feel about the team.
It may have been a far cry from the franchise-record 96 wins prescribed before the season, but the Colorado Rockies had their share of highlights during a 26-34 (.433) campaign. While it would have taken just three more wins to get Colorado into the postseason, many felt the disappointing performances outnumbered the positive ones in the pursuit of the club’s…
The Colorado Rockies began the final eight-game stretch of the season with one of their best-played games of 2020, securing a relatively comfortable 7-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. Moment of the Game: Diaz Blows It Open In The 5th The game went from good to great for the Rockies offense when Elias Diaz hit a…...
There’s a new leader in the clubhouse for best starting pitcher on the Colorado Rockies. After lowering his earned run average to 2.10 at Coors Field during the 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, Antonio Senzatela staked his claim for a spot as the 2021 Opening Day starter. Minus two base on balls in the seventh inning that expedited…
After snapping the franchise record for longest single-season streak (5) of scoring three or less runs at Coors Field on Friday night, Colorado started a new one as the offense could only muster five hits in the 6-1 loss to Los Angeles. Understandable as it may have been against Clayton Kershaw who lowered his earned run average to 2.15 and…
While the Dodgers prepared for a bullpen day, the Rockies were caught off guard in a 15-6 drubbing at the hands of the neighborhood bully. Ryan Castellani hoped to earn his first win at home and improve upon a no decision against Los Angeles on September 6 at Chavez Ravine. The 1-2-3 first inning appeared promising until his five-pitch walk…
Coming into 2020, Antonio Senzatela was the most pivotal pitcher for the franchise if the Colorado Rockies were going to contend for a place in the postseason. While the rest of the club has had varying success to the tune of 18-23 in starts by the remainder of the rotation, Senzatela has delivered on that make-or-break season. The 25-year-old grew…
It’s been a flashback to 2018 at Coors Field this weekend. A historic walk-off grand slam by Charlie Blackmon on Friday night. Extra-inning shenanigans on Saturday night. And Kyle Freeland continued his return to form and make believers out of the doubters. However, you know it’s 2020 by the final score: Angels 5, Rockies 2. The game reached its apex…
With their season hanging in the balance, the Colorado Rockies traversed an entire mountain range – ascent, descent and back to its peak – to win 8-4 against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night thanks to a walk-off grand slam by Charlie Blackmon. After solo home runs by Jared Walsh and Anthony Bemboom in consecutive innings against the bullpen’s…
The ingredients were procured and the recipe was finally prepared to the chef’s preference. Great starting pitching, solid defense, clutch hitting from the star and a competent/competitive bullpen. Together, it made for a 5-2 victory for the Rockies over the Dodgers, only the second in Southern California in their last 19 contests. The crux of matchup came in the top…
When it comes to playing the Padres at Coors Field the last few seasons, there’s one Rockies starting pitcher that you don’t have to worry about. Unfortunately, without a complete game from Antonio Senzatela and his career 2.70 ERA against San Diego, the bullpen could not handle the final six outs. But before Rockies fans pulled out the final strand…
