How can the Colorado Rockies essentially rebuild the entire portion of their back-end of the bullpen this winter given the circumstances?
Time for Dan O’Dowd to be thrown off of the ship. Fire up the bus, the Colorado Rockies excuse tour is about to begin again. Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post continues his beatdown of the Rockies front office in several pieces over the past few weeks. However, he highlighted exactly where the frustration arises from Rockies fans in his…...
It was Justin Morneau’s turn to provide the heroics on Sunday. Even the most optimistic of Colorado Rockies fans weren’t expecting this. Not only did the Rockies finish off the three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants on the road on Sunday, they completed the trifecta of coming back from behind in all three games, winning them in impressive fashion.…...
There was plenty for Juan Nicasio to be frustrated about. With all of the Colorado Rockies struggles for the past month, many have pointed to Juan Nicasio being a prime candidate to become a one-inning bullpen guy. By the looks of his outing on Tuesday night, he would fit right in with those guys. In the 1st inning, he did…...
Juan Nicasio isn’t a starter. He belongs in the bullpen. As bad as the Colorado Rockies nine game road trip was, the first three games of their 10-game homestand might be worse. Thursday night’s 12-7 debacle underscores exactly why this team doesn’t have the means to make a run. It highlights all of the weaknesses that this team has and…...
It’s time for the Rockies to take Franklin Morales out of the rotation. This was their litmus test. This was their chance to show that they were different than in years past. This was the opportunity the Colorado Rockies had to prove the last of their doubters wrong. Instead, they emptied out the bandwagon and got everyone’s minds focused on…...
Juan Nicasio was terrible on Friday night. It was stared on most Colorado Rockies fans pocket schedule. This was the road trip that would define whether the hot start the team had in April and early May was for real, or if it was a fluke. The message sent to fans is clear. On Friday night, after a day off…...
Juan Nicasio gave the Rockies six strong innings on Saturday. Usually baseball fans aren’t biting their nails in May when their team is four games over .500. However, fans of the Colorado Rockies know how important this nine game road trip is for the hopes of the 2014 season. Keep their heads above water, and there might be a chance…...
The Rockies need a big start from Jordan Lyles on Friday. The rain, hail, wind and nearly every other imaginable weather pattern put a damper on the rubber match of a three-game series that was supposed to tell us who the Colorado Rockies are. After a great finish on Tuesday night, then sleep-walking through Wednesday’s game, Thursday was going to…...
Justin Morneau won it for the Rockies on Sunday. One thing is certain, the Colorado Rockies are fun to watch in 2014. Justin Morneau added the latest chapter on Sunday afternoon with a walk-off, two-out, full count two-run blast to center field to give the Rockies the victory and giving them two-of-three in the series against the Padres. The game…...
The Rockies are relying on Tulowitzki staying healthy. Here it is, May 15th. It’s the dreaded date on the calendar for Colorado Rockies fans. Traditionally, this has become the point in which the Rockies season takes a downward turn, and never gets better. Over the past three seasons, the Rockies have come out of spring training looking great, they have…...
Franklin Morales isn’t the solution for the Rockies rotation. If the Colorado Rockies are going to make a playoff run in 2014, Franklin Morales can’t be a part of their starting rotation. It is easy to complain about a fifth starter. Every team in baseball would like to improve the back end of their starting rotation. There is a reason…...
Troy Tulowitzki is playing out of his mind for the Rockies. Where do you start? How do you accurately describe what the Colorado Rockies are doing? Do you start with the Rockies going Little League style in the 6th inning to turn the lineup over so that Nolan Arenado could get one more shot at extending his hitting streak to…...
The Rockies have been exciting in 2014. Put down the purple Kool-Aid. Just for one minute. When Charlie Culberson laced the Kyle Farnsworth pitch over the center field wall at Coors Field on Saturday night, it brought back a feeling fans of the Colorado Rockies haven’t had for a while. Sure, the Rockies had a fun April in 2013. They…...
Juan Nicasio isn’t showing signs of fading. Admit it, you have been waiting for the other shoe to drop with the Colorado Rockies. It’s hard to jump on board. This team has been a tease the past few seasons, starting off well in April, only to fade in May, then fall off a cliff in June and July. Getting excited…...
Juan Nicasio couldn’t get it done on Saturday night. They say that when things seem too good to be true, they usually are. That seems to be the case with Juan Nicasio, who reverted back to being the pitcher that the Colorado Rockies have seen over the past two seasons. After several impressive outings, it seems that the scouting reports…...
Juan Nicasio showed his huge steps on Tuesday night. One pitch Juan. That is what would have been an appropriate nickname for Colorado Rockies starter Juan Nicasio in 2013. The right-hander threw his four seemed fastball literally 95 percent of the time. After being rushed to the big leagues, it was the only pitch that was good enough to use…...
Charlie Blackmon had a career day on Friday in the Rockies home opener. Apparently there was a battle for the center field position for the Colorado Rockies in spring training. Charlie Blackmon made that notion sound like a joke on Monday in front of a packed house at Coors Field. The 27-year-old produced an Opening Day performance for the ages.…...
The Rockies come home to a skeptical fan base. This isn’t how the Colorado Rockies wanted to start the season. On Thursday afternoon in Miami, the Rockies blew a three-run lead and lost to the hometown Marlins in front of about 35 screaming fans. The Rockies bullpen–specifically Matt Belisle–the Rockies righty faced eight batters in the 8th inning, allowing four…...
Todd Helton waits another day for hit no. 2,500 The statement can finally be put to rest. When Greg Reynolds was struggling for the Colorado Rockies, fans would constantly hark back to the failed 2006 draft in which the Rockies selected Reynolds second overall. Reynolds become a Rockie, then Evan Longoria went to Tampa Bay, Clayton Kershaw went to the…...
