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…
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…
It was the same sad story for the Colorado Rockies during a 5-2 loss to San Fransisco on Tuesday night. Very good starting pitching. Offensive struggles. Bullpen blunders. Kyle Freeland would not get the decision following his ninth quality start in twelve attempts, nor would his counterpart Drew Smyly. Instead, the loss would go to the bullpen which were without…...
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…
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…
The Colorado Rockies were down 6-1. They lost the day before 23-5. Kyle Freeland, the heart and soul of the team, could only muster two innings and gave up four runs in his second consecutive lackluster outing. They looked lost and listless. They looked ready to lose their third straight in non-competitive fashion. They looked to be stuck in a…...
Days away from the August 31 MLB Trade Deadline, the typical fervor and intrigue that surrounds this day may end up yet another harbinger that 2020 is a year unlike any other. Between the addition of six playoff spots that has turned every pretender into a contender and a shortened schedule that has allowed for the grandest of luck for…
With a losing streak that reached eight games Saturday – and twelve-of-thirteen – the relative highlights for the Colorado are few and far between at this point. Unable to score in the first inning once again, playing a majority of the game from behind, an adequate performance from starting pitcher Kyle Freeland was far from enough as the offense continued…
