Congratulations! We are officially SIXTY-NINE days away from Opening Day for the Colorado Rockies! Are they ready? We are joined by Christian Saez to discuss baseball headlines, the new rules for MLB in 2023, and Todd Helton’s HOF chances. Suzie Hunter and Christian Saez come to you LIVE from the DNVR Bar to break down everything you need to know…
In exactly one month, baseball returns from its winter slumber with a simple pop of the mitt on back fields all across Arizona and Florida. Laughs, good-natured ribbing and loud barking from seasoned coaches will fill Salt River Fields when pitchers and catchers report to the Spring Training home of the Colorado Rockies on February 15. Not everyone will be…
Since being selected by the Colorado Rockies in the first round of the 2020 MLB Draft, the buzz surrounding Zac Veen has been loud. And it’s grown even louder following his 2022 season. Drafted out of Spruce Creek High School in Port Orange, FL, the 18-year-old had been rumored to go as high as second overall to the Baltimore Orioles.…...
With one foot into the new year as the final one steps away from 2022, there’s one last chance to reflect on the highlights from the previous season, especially those memorable moments that didn’t pertain to wins and losses. We strive to share the view from the inside of the beloved teams from our region at DNVR. We also aim…
During his successful career as a Colorado Rockies closer, Brian Fuentes was named to the National League All-Star Team in three different seasons and saved 115 games with the franchise, most amongst any pitcher in team history. Brian Fuentes Awards for Best Relief Pitcher The step back for the starting rotation for the 2022 Colorado Rockies meant increased opportunities for…...
Kyle Freeland loves to pitch against Milwaukee about as much as Yonathan Daza loves multi-hit games. After a loss on Labor Day, Rockies take the next two and win a series over the contending Brewers. How dramatic was Tuesday’s victory? Who made franchise history? And whose homer on Wednesday was an extreme rarity? Rockies Notebook: Estévez poised to make noise…
The Colorado Rockies have seven players who will reach free agency at season’s end. Though that group lacks the star power of last offseason’s duo of Trevor Story and Jon Gray, there’s one player who could be highly coveted by clubs looking to contend in 2023. Carlos Estévez may have a career earned run average of 4.67, but his upside…
Jacob DeGrom went full-blown ace for the Mets and showed why he might be the best pitcher in baseball. Suzie Hunter hosts a one-woman show but is joined by some special guests: Mets broadcaster Wayne Randazzo joins the show to talk about their incredible season. Then, Rockies reliever Lucas Gilbreath describes his unusual postgame routine (it involves McDonalds). Plus, mindset…
It’s that time of year again. The return of Nolan Arenado to Denver. Regardless of how salty you might feel over the separation between Arenado and the Colorado Rockies, you can’t deny the outstanding career he’s put together so far during his ten seasons in Major League Baseball. “If I’m thinking back to everything, the walk-off cycle is one of…
Kris Bryant has another big day at the plate, but the story once again is Colorado’s bullpen coughing up a late lead. Which Brewers’ player now owns the Rockies? Which starting pitcher performed best in Milwaukee? And what special, if not nefarious, group does C.J. Cron join? Patrick and Suzie discuss the interesting commentary by the scoreboard operators at American…
Other than the traditional post-game handshakes that punctuate a win at Coors Field, at no point during Tuesday’s 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres did the Colorado Rockies unveil any celebratory ritual. Some clubs will bestow players with a football helmet, cowboy hat or a suit jacket following a home run, while others will give teammates a spin through…
Tyler Kinley, the one player who seemed most destined to represent the Colorado Rockies in the 2022 All-Star Game in Los Angeles on July 19, will undergo a procedure that should end his season prematurely. “Tyler has got an elbow sprain. And he’s got a flexor tear from the imaging that was taken over the last couple of days,” manager…...
Once Nike took over for Majestic Athletic to become the official supplier of uniforms for Major League Baseball, it was only a matter of time for them to create something different. In 2021, seven teams received new and – at times – dynamic uniforms as part of the Nike City Connect Series. One of the seven chosen clubs for 2022…
When Connor Joe stepped to the plate at Chase Field on Saturday night, he was wearing the typical gray road uniform of the Colorado Rockies. Joe wore the purple jersey the previous night, the one that baseball fans around the country identify most with the franchise. In just a few weeks, a new uniform will be unveiled as part of…...
Ryan Feltner will need to stop the two-game losing streak on Wednesday following another tough loss at the hands of the Phillies on Tuesday night. Defense was better than Monday, but not sharp; offense was about the same and the pitching was not as effective. Drew Goodman of AT&T SportsNet joins to share his thoughts of the Rockies, umpires and…
The homegrown talent cultivated by the Colorado Rockies in the last decade will be sticking around a little bit longer. On Tuesday, it was announced that LHP Kyle Freeland had signed a five-year, $64.5 million extension to stay in Denver through the 2026 season. With a player option for a sixth-year, he could stay in purple through 2027. The move…
Just two days before Opening Day, Rockies relievers Lucas Gilbreath and Robert Stephenson had the unfortunate luck of landing on the COVID-19 injury list. With the team hopping aboard a plane heading back to Denver and the duo unable to join their teammates, a precarious situation began to develop. “I was like, ‘Okay, I guess we’re stuck in Arizona,’” Stephenson…...
In the lineage of the great homegrown Colorado Rockies, Brendan Rodgers seems the logical choice as the next star of the organization. The 25-year-old is poised to fulfill the expectations heaped upon him as the 3rd overall selection in the 2015 MLB Draft following his first full season with the Rockies. “This is probably the best shape I’ve been in…...
Early in the offseason, Denver native Kyle Freeland assembled a shadow box highlighting all twelve players native to the state who appeared in MLB last season. Set in front of the iconic Colorado flag, the autographed baseballs featured notable names such as All-Stars Kevin Gausman, Mark Melancon and Taylor Rogers. Included in the project that raised money for Special Olympics…...
With an opposite field home run on Wednesday, Sam Hilliard may have put himself out in front for the center field role. Yonathan Daza has only recently reported to camp while Garrett Hampson has been showing well through four games thus far. Hear audio from Kris Bryant following his first game and first base hit with Colorado. Kyle Freeland discusses…
