In a strange move, the Rockies dealt Reynolds to Arizona. First it was Josh Roenicke, not it is Matt Reynolds. Within weeks, the Colorado Rockies have lost two of their biggest contributors. On Tuesday, the Rockies dealt Reynolds to the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for infielder Ryan Wheeler. The move came as a surprise to most Rockies fans, and…...
Pomeranz couldn’t find his location on Friday night. The Colorado Rockies seem to have their minds in a different place. The way they have been playing, they certainly can’t be thinking about playing baseball. On Friday night, in front of fans more eager to watch the post-game fireworks show than the terrible product on the field, the Rockies looked as…...
Adam Ottavino may have hit his wall on Sunday. If it’s been said once, it’s been said 1000 times. The Colorado Rockies pitching theory simply doesn’t work. It might work in one particular game. It might work over the course of a week, but the reality is, it simply doesn’t work over the course of a season. Maybe the Rockies…...
The Rockies should go all out with their unconventional thought. Sorry Rockies fans, it looks like you are stuck with it. Despite the public outcry, despite the national experts mockery, despite conventional wisdom suggesting it is a bad idea, and despite mixed results at best, the Colorado Rockies announced this week that they would stick with their paired-pitching experiment into...
Despite Friday’s struggles, Belisle has been huge for the Rockies. Don’t dust off the parade confetti just yet. The Colorado Rockies couldn’t hold a 3-0 early lead over the Chicago Cubs. They were plagued by poor work from the bullpen, and the sloppy defensive play that Rockies fans have become accustomed to in the 2012 season. Starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz…...
Josh Roenicke has shouldered a huge load for the Rockies. As Giancarlo Stanton’s home run rocketed into the center field bleachers, the Colorado Rockies lead was gone. Three batter’s later the Marlins took the lead for good on John Buck’s RBI double. The Rockies still had a chance to take the lead back in the 8th inning, but ultimately the…...
No sweep for the Rockies in L.A. The Colorado Rockies had a chance to sweep the Dodgers on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. That didn’t happen as the Rockies blew an early 2-0 lead and eventually fell 6-4. A sweep, however, was unnecessary for this team in this series. Given where this team is at, given the fact that they…...
Josh Rutledge looks like the real deal. The Los Angeles Dodgers must be the most embarrassed bunch of baseball players around. The Colorado Rockies nearly shutout the Dodger offense two nights in a row. The Rockies 3-1 win gave them their first series since, ironically, they beat the Dodgers at Coors Field on the first weekend of June. The consecutive…...
Jeff Francis is coming back to earth. Everyone following the Colorado Rockies knows the answer to the question. The question, what is wrong with this team, can be answered with one simple word. Pitching. The men on the mound have been absolutely brutal. That is putting it lightly. There is no way to be positive, there is no way to…...
Christian Friedrich has shown some flashes of serious talent. The Colorado Rockies should apologize to Christian Friedrich and the rest of the starting pitching staff. On Saturday night at Coors Field, the rookie took the mound against the hottest team in baseball, the Cincinnati Reds. The lefty pitched his way through the first inning in just eight pitches, looking like…...
Dexter Fowler delivered the game-winning sac fly on Monday night. In the year that is 2012 for the Colorado Rockies, there was no other way for play to resume after the rain delay in the top of the 9th inning. Poised to win 4-1, giving Jeff Francis another win in what has been a phenomenal homecoming, the Rockies win was…...
Jeff Francis was the lone bright spot. Don’t let the score fool you. The Colorado Rockies lost 4-1 in Washington on Saturday afternoon, but the visiting club was never in the game. Lost in the poor starting pitching that has dominated the headlines for the Rockies has been their poor defense. Poor is just one of several words that can…...
Jeff Francis has been great in his past four starts. Three hours before game time, Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy told the media that he was relaxing the 75-pitch limit for his starting pitchers. Five innings in, and everything Tracy had said went out the window. Despite another phenomenal outing by Jeff Francis, the Rockies failed to let conventional wisdom…...
