NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 2022 Winter Meetings for the Colorado Rockies was incredibly quiet featuring only the trade of an expendable reliever for a minor league starting pitcher. The 2023 edition was downright mute. Even when their activity picks up, it will be equally as forgettable. “We’re looking for somebody to go with (Elias) Díaz,” GM Bill Schmidt said in…

In a decade from now, fans of the Colorado Rockies will think about the 2023 season and remember one number: 103.

No one has forgotten the…
Nolan Jones was head and shoulders the highlight of the 2023 season, not just because it seemed to come out of nowhere, but for the possibilities he brings over a 162-game season. Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle shined as well, but there were a lot of negatives that contributed to the 103-loss season. When will they get back into contention?…

CHICAGO, Ill. – For a 25-year-old player in his rookie season, Nolan Jones has a lot of reverence for the history of baseball, especially in the Windy City. “Growing up, watching baseball — this is obviously an iconic park — in 2016, I was drafted by the Guardians and got to watch Kris Bryant and the Cubs win a World…
The return of the Blake Street Bombers did not disappoint in any manner. Not during the pre-game celebration of the Colorado Rockies’ 30th Anniversary, on the field in a pair of wins over the San Francisco Giants and certainly not in a media availability with the club’s first icons. Larry Walker, Ellis Burks, Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette gathered in…
Kris Bryant homered for the second time in as many days against his former club, helping the Colorado Rockies win the three-game series over the Chicago Cubs. Rox received four home runs, a season-high, from their offense, including Nolan Jones’ 16th, putting him in a tie for fifth-most by a Rockies’ rookie. How did Pete Crow-Armstrong end up performing?

National League West is not an easy division, certainly not for the Colorado Rockies who simply haven’t had an answer this season and entered with zero series wins against the division. Arizona Diamondbacks played like a team vying for a place in the postseason and the San Francisco Giants, the Rox opponents this weekend, are in a similar boat. Kyle…

Colorado Rockies head towards 100 losses with a 1-5 homestand against Atlanta and the Toronto Blue Jays. Bullpen struggles, starting pitching surges and the Young Rox excite at Coors Field. Will Daniel Bard pitch again in 2023? Will the starting rotation need a replacement for Austin Gomber? Why is Brenton Doyle getting more national media attention? The DNVR Rockies Podcast…
The road trip from hell had a happy ending in Baltimore thanks to rookie Hunter Goodman in his Major League debut.
