No matter what has happened to the Colorado Rockies during the last five years, the memories of the 2018 National League Wild Card Game simply cannot be erased. Colorado has won 10 playoff games during their five postseason appearances in 31 seasons. Seven of those came in 2007. Two others came in elimination games. But the most recent came exactly…
Nolan Jones was head and shoulders the highlight of the 2023 season, not just because it seemed to come out of nowhere, but for the possibilities he brings over a 162-game season. Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle shined as well, but there were a lot of negatives that contributed to the 103-loss season. When will they get back into contention?…
The return of the Blake Street Bombers did not disappoint in any manner. Not during the pre-game celebration of the Colorado Rockies’ 30th Anniversary, on the field in a pair of wins over the San Francisco Giants and certainly not in a media availability with the club’s first icons. Larry Walker, Ellis Burks, Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette gathered in…
The postponement of Thursday’s Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants game is creating questions about the weekend, but the answers could be more surprising and hopeful for the denizens of Coors Field. Chase Anderson will move his start back a day and pitch on Friday against the Giants. On Saturday, the National League West rivals will play a split doubleheader…
National League West is not an easy division, certainly not for the Colorado Rockies who simply haven’t had an answer this season and entered with zero series wins against the division. Arizona Diamondbacks played like a team vying for a place in the postseason and the San Francisco Giants, the Rox opponents this weekend, are in a similar boat. Kyle…
The numbers for Kyle Freeland this year may appear to have taken a dip below his career norms, but he’s been arguably one of the most valuable players to the Colorado Rockies this season given all the injuries to the starting rotation. One of more troubling dips for Freeland at the center of the downturn has been his fastball velocity.…
Luis Robert Jr. was kinda quiet at Coors Field this weekend with the Chicago White Sox. He added his 33rd home run of the season, but it wasn’t enough against the Colorado Rockies. The starting pitching was quite nice for the Rox. Peter Lambert, Kyle Freeland and Chris Flexen did their job to put Bud Black’s club in winning position.…
It isn’t everyday the man nicknamed Mr. Rockie comes back to his old stomping grounds to make an appearance. It’s not even every year. Todd Helton’s name is atop so many of the Colorado Rockies’ leaderboards and his resume is well understood by fans in the Rocky Mountain region. Most games played, most home runs, base hits and on and…
Colorado Rockies 10-game road trip ends with a four-game sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kyle Freeland, Peter Lambert and Austin Gomber did fairly well to pick up the starting rotation, but the offense struggled to score runs at Dodger Stadium. Are the Rox going win some awards for their rookies? How good has the defense been…
Juan Soto and Gary Sánchez had quite the weekend in Denver as the San Diego Padres win the final two games of their series with the Colorado Rockies. Peter Lambert and Kyle Freeland weren’t bad, but the offense simply didn’t give enough run support. What’s the latest record set by Ezequiel Tovar? How close were the Rox from spoiling the…
DJ LeMahieu is as beloved by fans of the Colorado Rockies as any player from their 2017-2018 postseason run. Signing with the New York Yankees ahead of the 2019 season remains a sore spot for fans as well as owner Dick Monfort. DJLM plays his first game at Coors Field in nearly five years this weekend. Will DJ receive a…
Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers capitalized against Kyle Freeland for a big 6-run inning, but the Colorado Rockies – lead by rookie Ezequiel Tovar, C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk – scratched back with their own big inning. How special was Justin Lawrence’s 5th save of the year? Has Harold Castro been a quiet savior? And what’s the latest…
For those fans who circled the weekend of June 23-25 on their Colorado Rockies schedule for the return of Shohei Ohtani to Coors Field were not disappointed on Night One. Ohtani delivered — not literally, as he won’t be pitching during this series for the Los Angeles Angels — and so did the Rockies during their 7-4 comeback win that…
Shohei Ohtani is back at Coors Field for the first time since the 2021 All-Star Game. He’s still waiting for his first home run in Denver – excluding all those during the Home Run Derby onto the Rooftop – and if he’s ever going to hit for the cycle, it could be this weekend. Will Shohei be staying in Los…
Next stop: Atlanta. The Colorado Rockies continue their 10-game road trip with a four-game set against the Braves. Plus, we’ll recap the Boston series and talk baseball headlines. Suzie Hunter and Spencer Smith bring you the latest Rockies news on the DNVR Rockies Podcast LIVE from the DNVR studios at Colfax and York.
Kauffman Stadium was nearly home to a domination by the Colorado Rockies following two consecutive wins, one of which was a late comeback against the Kansas City Royals bullpen. Which Rox received a standing ovation? How close was Kyle Freeland’s no-hitter on the day of the Denver Nuggets’ Game 2 of the NBA Finals? Can we settle on a nickname…
Wednesday began the official start of MLB All-Star Game voting and the Colorado Rockies have nine players on the National League ballot. The last two years, Colorado had only one selection to the Midsummer Classic: Germán Márquez (2021) and C.J. Cron (2022). Since teams towards the top of the standings typically have more All-Stars than those at the bottom, this…
MLB standings are relevant now that we’re past Memorial Day and both the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies are turning heads. Despite Monday’s loss, why are the Rox continuing to trend upward? What has made the Dbacks on the best teams in the National League? And which Rockies legend has the secret to winning ball clubs? The DNVR Rockies Podcast…
In 2022, the city of Denver rallied around the Colorado Avalanche as they won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 21 years. This year, it’s the Denver Nuggets receiving the support as they charge toward the first NBA Championship in franchise history. Count the Colorado Rockies among the millions in the region who want the Larry O’Brien Championship…
Ezequiel Tovar gets his first career walk-off hit on a wild Thursday afternoon. Kyle Freeland rebounded from a rough start in Texas, Brenton Doyle hit leadoff for the first time (and earned comparisons to Charlie Blackmon) before leaving the game after a nasty collision with a near game-saving catch and Daniel Bard continued to be dominant with two more scoreless…
