Fans of the Colorado Rockies may get only one player from their club selected to participate in the 2021 All-Star Game, but they’ll now have an opportunity at something even greater: Home Run Derby Champion. On Monday ahead of Opening Day 2.0, Trevor Story announced he would be competing in the derby at his home ballpark, Coors Field. “It’s something…...
It’s not often the Colorado Rockies trade a player at the height of his value. While Troy Tulowitzki was notably traded to the Toronto Blue Jays at age 30, it followed three consecutive seasons of missing substantial time on the injured list and over $100M remaining on his contract made him less than a top commodity. Jason Jennings, the 2002…
Entering their 22nd season of play, the Colorado Rockies had written the names of only two men onto the Opening Day lineup card at first base: Andrés Galarraga and Todd Helton. When Colorado signed Justin Morneau, few imagined the 33-year-old who suffered from lingering complications surrounding a concussion would be able to rebound and carry the torch of All-Stars. Donning…
The verdict is in. Troy Tulowitzki is a terrible human being. On Monday morning, Bob Nightengale’s piece for USA Today revealed a scathing interview that he had with the former face of the Colorado Rockies.

The Colorado Rockies have always struggled with their pitchers, and no doubt they need to improve their staff to be successful, but when your team only wins 68 games there are a lot of areas where your team needs to improve. One of the areas where the Rockies need to get better might shock you. The area where the Rockies…...
Baseball is a strange game. Was there any doubt when the Colorado Rockies announced that closer Adam Ottavino was headed to the 15-day disabled list that they would be clinging to a one-run lead as they headed to the 9th inning? That always seems to be the way baseball works. With the tying run at third base and the…...
You can’t win ’em all. The Colorado Rockies dropped game two of a three game series with the Giants 5-4 on Saturday night in 11 innings. Brooks Brown couldn’t work around a lead-off walk to Nori Aoki in the top of the 11th and the Rockies offense couldn’t muster a rally in the bottom half, allowing the Giants to…...
The San Diego Chargers put up a couple of touchdowns and the Broncos could only muster a field goal…wait, this was baseball?

In preparation for trimming the roster down to 25 players before Sunday’s deadline, the Rockies have opted for other talent over some of their key players from 2014. Colorado has sent both LHP Rex Brothers and OF Brandon Barnes to the minors. Brothers has long been thought to be the closer of the future for the Rockies, but struggled in…...
If the Rockies were in the race, it would have been fun. The Colorado Rockies had a game on Tuesday night. Fans who were staring at the standings every night after the game back in April and May have forgotten that the baseball season is still going on.
