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 Colorado Rockies have been known for a lot of pretty cool things over the years. For whatever is made of the ballpark and its impact on stats, nobody denies it is a beautiful place to take in a game. Sure, there has never been consistent winning for the franchise but there have always been a handful of incredible ballplayers…...
Well, the past three days were fun. Back to reality now, however, for the Colorado Rockies. After games that showed the team and fans what could have been, or what might be in the future, the Rockies welcomed back rationality and reason to Coors Field on Saturday night. After three very good pitching performances, the Rockies got a clunker…...
Nothing changes for the Colorado Rockies when they come home from a long road trip. It used to be that the Rockies would struggle on the road, but then look like a completely different team when they arrived back at Coors Field. The team that was unfortunate enough to get scheduled against the Rockies when they returned from a…...
Rex Brothers has been terrible in 2014 for the Rockies. Oh Brothers. If the Colorado Rockies want to prove to their fans that they are serious about winning, the statement will be made early and often in the offseason. The focus of building the Rockies will being and end with revamping the entire bullpen. On Monday night at Coors Field,…...
Jordan Lyles pitched decent, but was left in the game too long. What is left to be said? The Colorado Rockies are the only team in baseball that goes up 7-1 and their fans feel like it won’t be enough. The fans are rooting for the starter to work deep into the 7th inning, just so the terrible bullpen doesn’t…...
Tyler Matzek was better than his line suggested on Monday. Apparently Major League Baseball likes to torture Colorado Rockies fans. Down 6-1 with no chance to catch up to the lowly San Diego Padres at Coors Field on Monday, the rains came down and it looked like fans might be spared the torture of watching the final two innings of…...
Christian Bergman was great in his Major League debut. If the Colorado Rockies stay healthy. If this team finds a way to keep guys off of the disabled list. Last year was sabotaged by injuries. This year they are going to be healthy. Those are all things that the typical Rockies fan gets used to hearing every year. Those types…...
The Rockies are relying on Tulowitzki staying healthy. Here it is, May 15th. It’s the dreaded date on the calendar for Colorado Rockies fans. Traditionally, this has become the point in which the Rockies season takes a downward turn, and never gets better. Over the past three seasons, the Rockies have come out of spring training looking great, they have…...
The Rockies continue to win baseball games. Old habits die hard. As bad as the Colorado Rockies have been in the last few years, it is easy to be skeptical.of this team. In each of the past three seasons, the Rockies have come out and played well in April only to fade into oblivion in August. The scar tissue remains…...
Tommy Kahnle worked out of a jam that helped the Rockies win. The misery that accompanies the Colorado Rockies in San Francisco took a day off. The Rockies are on a mission to prove that they are an improved team. They have filled many of the holes that caused them to finish dead last in the National League West over…...
Wilton Lopez was brutal on Tuesday. The question has already been asked, who are the 2014 Colorado Rockies? Is this team the one that showed up on Friday for the home opener and played a complete, fundamental game, which included good starting pitching and great hitting? On the other side, is this team the one the looked terrible on Opening…...
Brett Anderson was done in by a 3rd inning error. A sweep would have been nice. However, the Colorado Rockies head into a three game set with the Chicago White Sox with their pride intact. The Rockies lost to the Diamondbacks on Sunday 5-3 at Coors Field. Despite the loss, the Rockies kicked off the start of baseball at Coors…...
The Rockies come home to a skeptical fan base. This isn’t how the Colorado Rockies wanted to start the season. On Thursday afternoon in Miami, the Rockies blew a three-run lead and lost to the hometown Marlins in front of about 35 screaming fans. The Rockies bullpen–specifically Matt Belisle–the Rockies righty faced eight batters in the 8th inning, allowing four…...
Matt Belisle has earned the right to struggle for the Rockies. The Colorado Rockies once again blew a late-inning lead on Wednesday afternoon in San Francisco. Matt Belisle, once their most steady reliever, has felt the the overuse of the past three seasons finally catch up to his arm. This has been no secret. Belisle’s velocity has been down, his…...
Jhoulys Chacin pitched very well again on Monday. The Colorado Rockies aren’t worth watching in San Francisco. A fan can literally pull almost any Rockies vs. Giants game in San Francisco from out of the archives and the story is the same. The same script was followed on Monday night. The Rockies got a great outing from Jhoulys Chacin and…...
Matt Belisle It’s easy to blame Matt Belisle. The reliever has been a shell of himself since before the All-Star Break. The Colorado Rockies have asked him to get the job done in several high pressure situations, and frankly, he hasn’t gotten it done. With Belisle more than willing to admit that he didn’t get his job done, what Rockies…...
Nolan Arenado has shown flashes of becoming a star for the Rockies. In a 5-5 homestand against the most underwhelming teams in the National League, the Colorado Rockies still have some bright moments to build on. The starting pitching has been great, and despite some struggles, Nolan Arenado has shown his ability to get hits in big spots. The Rockies…...
Jorge De La Rosa continues to dominate, despite a bruised thumb. Nolan Arenado lined a single back up the middle, scoring Josh Rutledge from second base in the bottom of the 9th inning, giving the Colorado Rockies their fifth consecutive victory over the Giants at Coors Field. On Saturday Arenado came through in the clutch, but when a team wins…...
Belisle has struggled since Betancourt went down. Enough with the talk that it is only June. This homestand is crucial for the Colorado Rockies–and they started off on the wrong foot on Thursday, dropping the first of seven games at home to the weakest opponent that they will face, the Mets. The Rockies have six more games before they hit…...
