Happy Anniversary, Rockies fans. Sort of. Excluding the mammoth trade of Troy Tulowitzki in 2015, a deal that saved the franchise $50 million in the process, the last deadline deal Colorado made in a losing season was on this date in 2012. At 23 games under .500, 16.5 games behind the newly-implemented second Wild Card and three years removed from…...
The 2010 Colorado Rockies may not have been able to become the first squad to reach consecutive postseasons, but staff ace Ubaldo Jiménez certainly pitched in a fashion befitting of a playoff performance each time he took the bump at 20th and Blake during that lost season. Jiménez put together the most dominant six months of any purple pitcher with…
DENVER – There is a baseball field at 20th and Blake where the air is thin and the outfield is vast. When things started to get a little bit crazy in the late 90s and into the new millennium, they employed a humidor to try to make it more like baseball in other places. It’s still a park that…...
The Rockies have lost eight straight at AT&T Park. It looked like the Colorado Rockies had finally broken through. The Rockies put up five runs in the 2nd inning of Tuesday night’s game against Tim Lincecum and the defending World Champion San Francisco Giants. That isn’t a typo. The Rockies, who in year’s past have scored five runs in an…...
On Friday afternoon, Dick Monfort sent a email to season ticket holders. The contents are below. A Message from Rockies CEO Dick Monfort Dear Season Ticket Holder, I have let too much time pass since my last email and for that I apologize as I do feel consistent communication with all of you is very important. Our team record remains…...
Jeremy Guthrie won’t be around long. Jeremy Guthrie made his first start for the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field since being demoted, then coming back to the starting rotation on Saturday night. Despite working out of the bullpen at home since his last start on June 12th, the results were the same for the biggest offseason disappointment in recent years…...
The Rockies won on Thursday, but the issues remain. Marco Scutaro was the hero of the day for the Colorado Rockies. He laced an 11th inning single that scored the winning run, giving the Rockies an 11-10 victory, and a series split against the Nationals. The game saw the Rockies score seven runs in the first two innings. The offense,…...
The Rockies look for the series win on Sunday. Carlos Gonzalez can’t do it everyday. On Saturday the Colorado Rockies looked more like the team from the middle of May, not the team from the end of May. They lost to the Dodgers 6-2, ending their five-game winning streak. The hero of the past week, Gonzalez came up in a…...
Carlos Gonzalez continues to hit extremely well for the Rockies. A few things have become apparent in the first two months of Colorado Rockies baseball in 2012. The first is that the offense is going to have to carry the club. The second is that Carlos Gonzalez is one of the best hitters in the game. A night after slamming…...
Scutaro’s first Rockies home run was a game winner. A terrible road trip, one that has made nearly every believer jump off the bandwagon, ended with a bright spot on Tuesday night in San Francisco. The Colorado Rockies won 5-4, thanks to a 9th inning home run from Marco Scutaro, his first in a Rockies uniform. The home run was…...
Michael Cuddyer is making O’Dowd look smart so far. Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd takes his fair share of criticism from Rockies fans. Some of it, as he would probably admit, is deserved. He has made moves that have backfired. He has waited too long for prospects to develop, hindering their trade value. However, for the amount of criticism…...
Jim Tracy continues to manage the Rockies out of wins.e Jim Tracy has a message for Colorado Rockies fans. Don’t buy a ticket on Sunday’s. In fact, don’t bother to even watch the game on TV, listen on the radio, or pay attention at all. There is no reason. There is no plan for the team to win the game.…...
Helton delivered again on Saturday. Friday night wasn’t enough for Todd Helton. On Saturday night, with the rain and wind making it completely miserable to be playing or watching baseball, it looked like the Colorado Rockies would be the victims of an ugly, weather marred game. Instead, for the second straight night, a veteran in his twilight showed that he…...
Jeremy Guthrie delivered 7 strong innings. The Colorado Rockies started off their season on the right foot on Friday night in Houston. A well-played game resulted in a 5-3 victory that wasn’t secure until Rafael Betancourt struck out Matt Downs with two runners on and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. The offseason saw Rockies general manager…...
On Saturday, the Colorado Rockies shipped Clayton Mortensen to the Boston Red Sox for Marco Scutaro, filling their need for a second baseman and giving them another veteran presence in the clubhouse. The Colorado Rockies offseason has been unique, to say the least. For the most part, fans have been disappointed with the Rockies moves, or lack-there-of-moves in since the…...
