From Todd Helton and Larry Walker all the way down to…Dante Bichette? Drew, Patrick, and Makayla put the All-Time Colorado Rockies into tiers and react to their placement according to bWAR.

DNVR Rockies beat reporters Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons battle for supremacy discussing various hot topics pertaining to the inhabitants of 2001 Blake Street as well all the scuttlebutt in and around the game of baseball. Nestled in a small town in bucolic upstate New York named for the father of 19th century American writer James Fenimore Cooper rests the…

Drew Goodman joins us to chat Todd Helton, Larry Walker, Nolan Arenado and the MLB Hall of Fame. What truly makes a Hall of Famer? And are there more borderline Colorado Rockies than we tend to think?

The Colorado Rockies have had some elite power hitters over the years so Drew and Patrick decide to draft them onto teams of five for some head to head competition!

We’ve all fallen into the trap at some point. The Colorado Rockies sign or make a trade for a significant bat – a rare thing but something that the facts nonetheless state does happen – and we all start dreaming specifically on how that player will look at Coors Field. It doesn’t matter where they are coming from. This new…...

The list of players to have hit .400 is short and illustrious. Wee Willie Keeler. Ty Cobb. Rogers Hornsby. Fourteen Hall of Famers, all of whom managed to bat .312 or above in their career, including Cobb’s career .366 batting average, decorate the list of the most elite hitters to play the game of baseball. The most recent and memorable…

It may sound strange to consider, but even coming off the heels of a losing season and the overwhelming absence of a World Series win – not to mention even a single National League West pennant – there has never been a better time to be a baseball fan from Colorado. The run for Rocktober in 2007 was as magical…

Following a magical Major League debut that saw the rookie hit two home runs, few could have expected Trevor Story to keep relative pace with prodigious power totals throughout the start of his career. Yet, when one looks atop the leaderboard of all-time shortstop for least amount of games needed to hit 100 homers, Story’s name is highest among the…

Nolan Arenado is good at baseball. There. It’s been said. Following his well-earned eight-year, $260M contract extension in the offseason, the five-time All-Star picked up where he left off to begin the 2019 season. Arenado aided Colorado’s 5-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates and starter Chris Archer with two singles that begin a streak of seven consecutive multi-hit games, the fourth…

The link between the Montréal Expos and Colorado Rockies is substantial and will forever be strongest when discussing the relative impact of the recently elected Hall of Famer Larry Walker. Considering the last active member of Montréal – Ian Desmond, a 2004 3rd round pick of Les Expos – plies his trade in the Centennial State, numerous connections between the…

Before Game 163, when Matt Holliday hustled home on a shallow sacrifice fly ball to help clinch Colorado’s first spot in the postseason in eight years, the star left fielder did a lot for his club in 2007 leading up to the controversial play. Holliday’s value that season was prevalent through the 162 games leading up to the critical matchup…

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been compiling a 25-man roster comprised of prime-of-their-career-and-health Colorado Rockies. In a field of dreams, these are the players that we would select from the history of the organization to take the diamond and play against the ghosts of other organizations. That meant that at times, we had to choose ultimate peak…...

In the 1994-95 offseason, two clubs in the National League West spent top dollar on bolstering their starting rotations in completely different ways. The Colorado Rockies gave a 33-year-old veteran Bill Swift $13.150M over three years to lead a starting rotation looking for its first bonafide ace. The Los Angeles Dodgers gave a 26-year-old Hideo Nomo a minor league contract…

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…

The start of anything new invariably comes with a flurry of firsts. Even after more than a century of professional baseball, the game still manages to surprise. For the origins of the Colorado Rockies in 1993, much is known about the charter members that helped record some of the important firsts: Eric Young Sr, Dante Bichette, Andrés Galarraga and David…

A decade in purple pinstripes is a lot longer than most players are privileged. When you’re Baseball Hall of Famer Larry Walker, those ten seasons in Denver weigh more like an eternity to a championship-starved fan base. Though a National League Most Value Player only once (1997), Walker was a perennial threat to take the top honors whenever he was…

Following a disappointing 1999 season, the Colorado Rockies were set to undergo a seismic shift. Having already traded Ellis Burks in the summer of ’98, Dante Bichette was next to be dealt away in late October to the Cincinnati Reds; finally, Vinny Castilla was shipped to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Of the original five members of Blake Street Bombers…

There may have been 27 seasons of Major League Baseball in Denver, but there hasn’t always been a lot to celebrate. There are nine winning seasons. A handful of  superstars. Five postseasons (thanks, Wild Card). Just one World Series appearance. And now, finally, a Hall of Famer… but that celebration will have to wait another year. So, when an award like…
