De La Rosa has been very good. It is a common theme. The Colorado Rockies get on an airplane and forget to bring their bats. On Thursday night in Arizona, the Rockies did it once again, dropping the first of a four game set with the Diamondbacks 3-2. The lack of offense, coupled with an early error and some weird…...

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…...

Jon Garland made an impressive Colorado Rockies debut. So far, so good for the Colorado Rockies. The team is officially done with the first time through their starting rotation. Who would have guessed that the Rockies would be 4-1? The interesting thing is that none of the Rockies wins have featured the offense climbing back into it. Every win has…...

Tyler Chatwood is just 22-years-old. One thing is certain. The Colorado Rockies have plenty of options in the outfield in 2013. Make no mistake, the Rockies have been horrible in 2012. However, the interesting thing about the Rockies pathetic season has been how many positives have come out of it. The young players have shown how good they can be…...

Tyler Chatwood pitched just three innings. In a season like 2012, there will be games like Monday’s. The Colorado Rockies lost to the Atlanta Braves in an early game, starting at 11 AM Mountain time, which followed a Sunday barn burner at Coors Field that made for a late arrival into Atlanta. The late arrival probably played into the Rockies…...

The Dodgers move made things clear to their opponents. The new Los Angeles Dodgers ownership group didn’t waste much time in showing the rest of the National League West that there is a new kid on the block. The Dodgers completed a huge trade on Saturday, acquiring Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford from the Red Sox in one…...

Eric Young, Jr. has refused to be ignored in 2012. Despite a heart-wrenching loss for the Colorado Rockies on Sunday in San Francisco, a game in which the Rockies dropped 9-6 after clawing back from a 3-0 deficit, the club is starting to see a silver lining to a dreary season. That silver lining is coming in the form of…...

Is Dan O’Dowd’s theory backfiring on his young pitchers? Dan O’Dowd’s theory may be dismantling right in front of him. On Tuesday night at Coors Field, Christian Friedrich pitched well enough to keep his team in the game–until the 5th inning. In the fifth frame, the rookie lefty had everything set up in his favor. He was facing the bottom…...

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…...

Jeff Francis showed that you can pitch at Coors Field. So much for that theory. On Friday night, Jeff Francis showed Dan O’Dowd what the formula for winning at Coors Field is. The lefty went six shutout innings. He gave up only three hits. He walked one and struck out one. Francis threw 82 pitches. Francis pitched well enough to…...

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,…...

Jeff Francis did enough to keep the Rockies in the game. It has been a rough year for the Colorado Rockies. The team ended an eight game losing streak on Friday night in Detroit, amazingly scoring eight runs in the 10th inning to make a dramatic game look like a blowout, winning 12-4. The big hit came from Wilin Rosario.…...

Dan O’Dowd should have gone with youth. Let’s face it. The Colorado Rockies are in the middle of a throw-away season. The Rockies aren’t going anywhere in 2012. They know it, their fans know it, everyone knows it. The sad part about it is that the front office knew it before anyone else did. The reality is, when general manager…...

The Monfort brothers are not cheap. Talk to Colorado Rockies fans, listen to what they have to say both at Coors Field and on the radio. The common theme is that Dick and Charlie Monfort, the principle owners of the Rockies, are cheap. People talk about the youth in the pitching staff, the lack of the ability to find 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…...

CarGo crushed three homers in the win. Those who don’t watch him will point to his numbers at Coors Field. Those who do watch him know that his home runs have nothing to do with the hitter’s park. On Wednesday, Carlos Gonzalez hit three home runs to help power the Colorado Rockies to a 13-5 victory over the Houston Astros.…...

This is what the optimists envisioned when they believed the Colorado Rockies could contend. The Rockies gave their fans some good memories on an eventful Memorial Day doubleheader sweep of the Houston Astros at Coors Field. The night game was capped off by a resurgent Dexter Fowler lacing a triple down the right field line, scoring Michael Cuddyer all the…...

Friedrich was the lone bright spot on Monday. Writing about the Colorado Rockies can be tough. When they head to the west coast, the games start late and end late. However, writing about this team is simple, especially on the west coast. To find the words to say is easy. All it takes is looking at the previous years Rockies…...

Drew Pomeranz provided half of the offense in the Rockies loss. The Colorado Rockies are a hard team to predict. They have the offensive firepower to win a bunch of games. They have a solid bullpen. Unfortunately, their starting pitchers leave much to be desired. On Monday night in San Diego, the Rockies lost to the Padres 3-2. After scoring…...
