Children born in 2004 are nearing graduation and starting to consider life after high school. Those kids, now approaching 18-years-old, have never seen Larry Walker play for the Colorado Rockies. Even those of a more advanced age may have observed from afar, never making it down to the cathedral on 20th and Blake Street. Of course, good parents surely showed…
Any time the score is 10-3 in pitcher’s park before your team can record it’s fourth out, it’s more than likely your club will be saddled with a loss. Tuesday’s 14-5 win gives the San Diego Padres two consecutive to start the series and four-straight against Colorado overall, not to mention making the National League’s second-best team appear poised for…
When it comes to playing the Padres at Coors Field the last few seasons, there’s one Rockies starting pitcher that you don’t have to worry about. Unfortunately, without a complete game from Antonio Senzatela and his career 2.70 ERA against San Diego, the bullpen could not handle the final six outs. But before Rockies fans pulled out the final strand…
This is the type of game the Rockies won all the time in 2017 and 2018; it’s precisely the type they lost in 2019. There were some key differences is this defeat, but the similarities were blatant. Trevor Story nearly played the hero with a late home run but an implosion from closer Wade Davis wasted an otherwise quality game…
The Colorado Rockies were heavily criticized in the offseason (the first one) for making very few changes to the roster. Time will tell if their track will be the right one, but there is certainly an irony to the fact that a pair of newcomers helped power them to their first win of 2020. Matt Kemp, making his first start…...
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. Major League Baseball and the MLB Players’ Association may not have agreed on a lot before the July 23 date for Opening Day was set by…
Tuesday marked the return of the night game at Coors Field, albeit one between two sides comprised entirely of Colorado Rockies’ players, as Nolan Arenado’s Team Purple defeated Trevor Story’s Team Pinstripe, 7-2. Hand selected by team captains Arenado and Story, the two stars picked their squad of teammates and even set the lineup. Arenado sandwiched himself between Matt Kemp…...
There are a lot of way in which the 2020 MLB season is going to look a lot different than any we’ve ever witnessed before. Of course, the 60-game schedule stands out as the headliner among the changes as well it should. Perhaps next on the list, though, is the expansion of the rosters from 26, already up one from…...
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. Baseball is back and with Opening Day scheduled for July 23, all 30 teams are gathered at their home park to participate in Spring Training 2.0…
In the middle of a sea of sudden news spilling down the MLB mountain, it was quietly reported and later confirmed by Colorado Rockies GM Jeff Bridich that the club has agreed to terms on a minor league deal with former Dodgers outfielder and multiple-time All-Star Matt Kemp. This has sparked a series of questions from fans and media. Of…...
Hunting for the sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Colorado Rockies were not able to resort to the methods that got them their first two wins of the series on Sunday afternoon. The bullpen, which worked only one inning in both of the previous two games, assumed control of the game in the fourth. They paced with the Dodgers…...
Coors Field played host to cycle No. 290 in MLB history on Monday. That Cycle, No. 15 at the ballpark on Blake, was accomplished to San Deigo Padres first baseman Wil Myers.
Jon Gray was as dominant as he has ever been but the Rockies couldn't get offense at the right times in 2-1 loss to Padres.
It couldn't have been much worse for the Colorado Rockies in their second home game. Jorge De La Rosa was as hittable as he has ever been and may be showing signs of the beginning of the end.
The game that was originally rained out in San Diego saw the Colorado Rockies rain home runs down on the Padres. In a 4-3 victory, the Rockies offense came up with four big flies, propelling the team to victory. Starter Jorge De La Rosa went five innings and gave up three runs. The 4th inning haunted him as he…...
The good news for Colorado Rockies fans? They have a superstar in Nolan Arenado and what looks like a future star in Jon Gray on the mound. The bad news? The script isn’t going to change for the Rockies anytime soon. On Tuesday night in San Diego, Gray’s five shutout innings weren’t enough, and neither was Arenado’s game-tying home…...
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…...
Sometimes you get kicked when you are already down. The Colorado Rockies have to feel that way after a difficult 4-2 loss on Saturday night in San Diego. After three straight blowout losses, the Rockies had the best case scenario going for them. Their ace, Jorge De La Rosa was taking the mound. If there was anyone who could…...
The Rockies young players are fun to watch. The Colorado Rockies continue their charge. On Tuesday night they soundly defeated the team that has made the most headlines over the past week for the second night in a row, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rockies won 8-4, soundly defeating Chris Capuano, a pitcher who dominated them less than three months…...
Juan Nicasio was great on Saturday. The other game going on in Los Angeles featured the Colorado Rockies and the hometown Dodgers. The focus should have been squarely on the basketball game. On Saturday night, the Rockies offense couldn’t support Juan Nicasio, blowing the best start of his young, courageous career. The offense allowed journeyman Aaron Harang to look like…...
