Welcome to our offseason series, Rox or Roll, where we take an overview of each Colorado Rockies player to determine their value and outlook moving forward. Does this player continue to represent the Rox? Or is his time with Colorado on the downswing and he should roll on up out of here? We begin where we must, at the top,…...

It may have been a far cry from the franchise-record 96 wins prescribed before the season, but the Colorado Rockies had their share of highlights during a 26-34 (.433) campaign. While it would have taken just three more wins to get Colorado into the postseason, many felt the disappointing performances outnumbered the positive ones in the pursuit of the club’s…

It doesn’t matter how the Colorado Rockies season ends. Well, it does. But it also doesn’t. Winning games is always better than losing games, especially in a sport where no single draft pick can swing your fortunes and won’t even appear in MLB for years to come. And the boys in purple certainly haven’t been doing a lot of winning…...

After snapping the franchise record for longest single-season streak (5) of scoring three or less runs at Coors Field on Friday night, Colorado started a new one as the offense could only muster five hits in the 6-1 loss to Los Angeles. Understandable as it may have been against Clayton Kershaw who lowered his earned run average to 2.15 and…

Coming into 2020, Antonio Senzatela was the most pivotal pitcher for the franchise if the Colorado Rockies were going to contend for a place in the postseason. While the rest of the club has had varying success to the tune of 18-23 in starts by the remainder of the rotation, Senzatela has delivered on that make-or-break season. The 25-year-old grew…

It’s been a flashback to 2018 at Coors Field this weekend. A historic walk-off grand slam by Charlie Blackmon on Friday night. Extra-inning shenanigans on Saturday night. And Kyle Freeland continued his return to form and make believers out of the doubters. However, you know it’s 2020 by the final score: Angels 5, Rockies 2. The game reached its apex…

Charlie Blackmon hit a walk-off grand slam, Ryan McMahon tied it up with a clutch late homer, and German Marquez was excellent again in an 8-4 win for the Colorado Rockies against the Los Angeles Angels.

We are all experiencing a bit of 20-20 vision here in 2020 as the Colorado Rockies came into this series against the San Diego Padres at 20-20 with 20 games to play. If you’ve long been a doubter of this team, your skepticism has been proven out in numerous stretches of ugly baseball. If you’ve long been a believer in…...

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…

The ingredients were procured and the recipe was finally prepared to the chef’s preference. Great starting pitching, solid defense, clutch hitting from the star and a competent/competitive bullpen. Together, it made for a 5-2 victory for the Rockies over the Dodgers, only the second in Southern California in their last 19 contests. The crux of matchup came in the top…

It began to feel like the Rockies were never going to beat the Dodgers ever again. Not in 2020 and maybe never again. Then, Kevin Pillar mashed a two-out grand slam in the top of the eighth to flip the lead and gave Colorado a 6-5 advantage. Mere minutes later, the realities of the final six outs began to soften…

The Colorado Rockies were down 6-1. They lost the day before 23-5. Kyle Freeland, the heart and soul of the team, could only muster two innings and gave up four runs in his second consecutive lackluster outing. They looked lost and listless. They looked ready to lose their third straight in non-competitive fashion. They looked to be stuck in a…...

The Colorado Rockies woke up on Tuesday morning in a tailspin but are still just a game below .500 with 25 to play and are hanging onto the eighth and final spot in the NL playoff picture. Arguments will go on and on… and on… over management and the front office and the state of the team and contention windows…...

One night after snapping a seven-game losing skid, it was a game to start a new streak and for getting individuals back into a groove as Colorado won 5-4 in Arizona on Tuesday night. Nolan Arenado slugged two RBI-doubles, Garrett Hampson broke a 1-for-21 slump to thump his second home run of the season, and Josh Fuentes made his first…

Sunday is typically a day of rest. For fans of the Rockies who noticed Nolan Arenado missing from the starting lineup, they probably understood the rationale for the day off. Unfortunately, the final score reflected a team that also took a respite in the Dodgers 11-3 victory that sealed a three-game sweep and continued the Rockies losing streak to seven…

If the first five starts of the season weren’t convincing enough, Kyle Freeland’s start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers should have made it clear. The Colorado Kid is back. As for the rest of the club, that’s a horse of a different color. Freeland made one bad pitch all night, a changeup to Chris Taylor whose 367ft pop-up…

Something that I’ve learned over the years, at times painfully, is that every time you open your mouth, you give ammunition to the critics. Until recently, Nolan Arenado didn’t have many critics. Why should he? Seven consecutive Gold Glove Awards, three straight Platinum Glove Awards, five All-Star Game appearances in as many year and five top 10 finishes for National…

In the first extra-inning affair of the season, impressive performances from two of the lesser recognized Rockies were wiped away as the Astros came away victorious, 2-1. Myles Straw delivered the final blow for the walk-off winner in the 11th against Jairo Díaz, who was placed in the no-win situation. With the likes of such pitching luminaries as Yu Darvish,…

On this episode of the DNVR Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons break down a 10-6 win for the Colorado Rockies over the Texas Rangers featuring some solid pitching from Jon Gray, some extraordinary defense from Nolan Arenado and an offensive explosion including a 3-hit day for Raimel Tapia.
