The Colorado Rockies made four roster moves today regarding their 40-man roster. Most notably right-handed reliever Brooks Brown was claimed off of waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The other three moves had the Rockies outrighting catcher Michael McKenry, and right-handed relievers Simon Castro, and Gonzalez Germen to Albuquerque. If you are unfamiliar with outrighting, it is when a club wants to take a player off…...

Chris Rusin grabbed the ball from catcher Michael McKenry as they slapped hands after the game. He tucked the ball into his back pocket before getting in line to slap hands with his teammates. The keepsake commemorates Rusin’s complete-game shutout of the San Diego Padres. It also marks an exclamation point on the season that Rusin has had, coming…...
Well, it looks like Carlos Gonzalez is officially healthy. The lefty slugger made Max Scherzer look like a minor leaguer on Sunday, delivering two no-doubt shots to right field in the Colorado Rockies 6-4 victory on the road against the Nationals. The win, and the weekend, was really impressive for the Rockies. Not only did they pick up a…...
It just doesn’t have the same feel to it. When the Colorado Rockies were jumping up and down with Michael McKenry, who hit his first-ever walk-off home run in the 11th inning on Wednesday to give the Rockies a 7-5 victory, the celebration rang hollow. Don’t blame McKenry, and don’t blame the Rockies. They showed a ton of fight…...
Everyone associated with the Colorado Rockies, including their fans, held their collective breath in the top of the 6th inning. Nolan Arenado, racing in to catch a foul ball near the plate, collided with catcher Michael McKenry, knocking his face against the catcher’s helmet and dropping to the ground. He laid on the ground, only getting up to his…...
The Colorado Rockies showed growth on Wednesday night (and into Thursday morning) at Coors Field. After scoring three runs in the bottom of the 9th inning, they reversed the script on the Los Angeles Dodgers and sent the faithful Rockies fans home with a 7-6 win on a Nolan Arenado sacrifice fly with the bases loaded. Chad Bettis gave…...
The story of Michael McKenry is an interesting one for the Colorado Rockies. On Thursday at a gloomy and dreary Coors Field, McKenry provided the ray of sunshine for the Rockies. He broke a 3-3 tie in the 5th inning with a two-run blast to left field off of Phillies starter Jerome Williams to give the Rockies a 5-3…...
In preparation for trimming the roster down to 25 players before Sunday’s deadline, the Rockies have opted for other talent over some of their key players from 2014. Colorado has sent both LHP Rex Brothers and OF Brandon Barnes to the minors. Brothers has long been thought to be the closer of the future for the Rockies, but struggled in…...
The Colorado Rockies as a franchise are known for one thing; playing at altitude. Those outside the Mile High City view Coors Field as a great place to hit, but a terrible place to pitch. For years, the Rockies have been built to suit that environment. With the exception of a handful of pitchers, the Rockies model was always to…...
The Colorado Rockies announced yesterday 24 non-roster players that will be in Scottsdale for Spring Training this year. #Rockies release their 24 non-roster invitees to Spring Training.

The Rockies were wise to re-sign Jorge De La Rosa. The Colorado Rockies launched the ball out of the park all afternoon, then finished off the night with the announcement that they have re-signed Jorge De La Rosa to a 2-year $25 million deal. On the field, Christian Bergman continued to look like a very impressive 20th round draft pick,…...
Nolan Arenado has been a huge bright spot for the Rockies. For fans of the Colorado Rockies, watching highlights from a game in Oakland or Washington is tough. The reason is because the excitement in those stands comes through the TV. As the heat of a pennant run hits the final stretch, the fans can sense the urgency. They feel…...
This was the scene at Coors Field on Saturday. Cue the circus music. Since 1993, the Colorado Rockies are no strangers to embarrassing themselves, but they may have hit a new low on Saturday at Coors Field. In the top of the 3rd inning, with the bases loaded, spot starter Christian Friedrich threw a pitch over catcher Michael McKenry’s head.…...
It was Justin Morneau’s turn to provide the heroics on Sunday. Even the most optimistic of Colorado Rockies fans weren’t expecting this. Not only did the Rockies finish off the three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants on the road on Sunday, they completed the trifecta of coming back from behind in all three games, winning them in impressive fashion.…...
