It’s been a little more than a week with the newly implemented pitch clock, but the Colorado Rockies are averaging two hours and 30 minutes as their time of game. For a team that’s already at the physical disadvantage of playing 5,280 feet above sea level, something may actually be on their side. “It’s going to be good on our…
The existence of Coors Field has been relatively short when compared to the lifespan of professional baseball. While the same can certainly be said of most ballparks, the uniqueness of the grounds at 20th and Blake has made for some memorable moments in the grander sense. Following construction of Oriole Park at Camden Yards in 1992, two-thirds of MLB clubs…...
While the Rockies waived and outrighted four players off the 40-man roster, there’s a chance a few move on to other organizations. Details on the entire history of the qualifying offer! Plus, Colorado may offer Trevor Story the $18.4 million QO, but will he accept it? The odds may surprise you when learning how this scenario has played out in…
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…...
Fans of the Colorado Rockies may get only one player from their club selected to participate in the 2021 All-Star Game, but they’ll now have an opportunity at something even greater: Home Run Derby Champion. On Monday ahead of Opening Day 2.0, Trevor Story announced he would be competing in the derby at his home ballpark, Coors Field. “It’s something…...
If you blinked, you probably missed one of the best seasons for a starting pitcher in Rockies history. For the members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America who voted on the National League Cy Young Award in 2004, they blinked, too. Ignoring several important factors and simply adopting Wins Above Replacement as the measure for excellence, Joe Kennedy should…
Following his first season as an All-Star as a 31-year-old, Colorado scooped up outfielder Michael Cuddyer for three-years at $31.5M. While his tenure with the Rockies produced only 280 games, the 32-year-old would eventually be named to the National League All-Star Game squad, selected for a Silver Slugger Award, and win the Tony Gwynn Award for leading the Senior Circuit…
Many years ago on this day, the world welcomed two impressive beings that would become vitally important members of the Colorado Rockies. One was born. One was hatched. Born in 1991 in Newport Beach, CA, Nolan James Arenado has been a force since making his major league debut in 2013, quickly winning a Gold Glove Award for defensive play at…
The verdict is in. Troy Tulowitzki is a terrible human being. On Monday morning, Bob Nightengale’s piece for USA Today revealed a scathing interview that he had with the former face of the Colorado Rockies. Seven months removed from his lonely perch at the end of the visitors dugout at Wrigley Field, Tulowitzki remains bitter and upset with the…...
Why even watch? That’s not being cynical, that’s simply being realistic. It is an honest question. Do most Colorado Rockies fans simply turn off the TV when it is time to watch the bullpen come in and either keep a game close or hold on to a small lead? The end result is as sure of a bet as…...
Michael Cuddyer is fun to watch, but should the Rox re-sign him? Crisis averted. The Colorado Rockies will not lose 100 games, as so many had predicted that they would. A 15-2 drubbing of the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field ensured that the most they can lose is 99 games. Two more wins in their final nine games will keep…...
Franklin Morales couldn’t help the Rockies score runs on Saturday. Every game counts. Baseball purists will talk about how important every game is in a 162 game season. They will point to several seasons in which it came down to the final game, and even on occasion the 163rd game in order to sort it all out. Don’t tell a…...
Kyle Parker is one call-up worth watching for the Rockies. Admit it, the last two months of Colorado Rockies baseball is one big blur. With the exception of a few games, they all seem the same. Bad baseball, poor pitching, terrible management, and mounting losses have dominated this team. Yet, if you are reading this, you are probably still taking…...
Michael Cuddyer needs to be allowed to test the market. If nothing else, the Colorado Rockies are a loyal bunch. However, if Dick Monfort and his brother Charlie decide that Dan O’Dowd and company are still the best men for the job in Colorado, then they must be prepared to make some major changes on the field. If you’ve followed…...
Todd Helton overshadowed a great day for the Rockies. Todd Helton showed up at Coors Field, and apparently dropped off some of his bats. In what will go down as one of the best days in the 2014 season, but also one of the best days in Colorado Rockies fans memory, Helton’s number was retired in a moving pregame ceremony,…...
There was plenty for Juan Nicasio to be frustrated about. With all of the Colorado Rockies struggles for the past month, many have pointed to Juan Nicasio being a prime candidate to become a one-inning bullpen guy. By the looks of his outing on Tuesday night, he would fit right in with those guys. In the 1st inning, he did…...
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…...
Juan Nicasio was terrible on Friday night. It was stared on most Colorado Rockies fans pocket schedule. This was the road trip that would define whether the hot start the team had in April and early May was for real, or if it was a fluke. The message sent to fans is clear. On Friday night, after a day off…...
Juan Nicasio gave the Rockies six strong innings on Saturday. Usually baseball fans aren’t biting their nails in May when their team is four games over .500. However, fans of the Colorado Rockies know how important this nine game road trip is for the hopes of the 2014 season. Keep their heads above water, and there might be a chance…...
The Rockies lost Nolan Arenado for a long time on Friday night. Nolan Arenado has emerged as a huge star for the Colorado Rockies in 2014. After one errant slide on Friday, the Rockies will be without him for quite a while. After drilling a ball off the top of the left field wall in the top of the 2nd…...
