Juan Soto and Gary Sánchez had quite the weekend in Denver as the San Diego Padres win the final two games of their series with the Colorado Rockies. Peter Lambert and Kyle Freeland weren’t bad, but the offense simply didn’t give enough run support. What’s the latest record set by Ezequiel Tovar? How close were the Rox from spoiling the…
Ryan McMahon did it all to help the Colorado Rockies win in 10 innings over the San Diego Padres. Austin Gomber capped off his outstanding July, the Elehuris Montero Era at first base began and Brenton Doyle continued to flash the tools. Do the Rockies own the Padres now? Will we get any more trades on the final day? Did…
GM Bill Schmidt did the thing and traded C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk to the Los Angeles Angels for a pair of pitching prospects, RHP Jake Madden and LHP Mason Albright. Who’s going to take their spots on the roster? With only 37 players on the 40-man roster, which prospects from Triple-A Albuquerque and Double-A Hartford could be next to…
For the third time this summer, the Colorado Rockies have dealt away contributing veterans on expiring contracts for young, minor league pitching that could impact the roster for years to come. 1B C.J. Cron and OF Randal Grichuk were traded on Sunday to the Los Angeles Angels — the organization that drafted both players over a decade ago — while…
Ryan McMahon led the charge during the shoutout over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Colorado Rockies avoid the three-game sweep at the hands of the historically bad A’s. Ty Blach stepped up big and Justin Lawrence slammed the door shut for another save. How many people showed up at Coors Field this weekend for two last place teams? Did the…
Nolan Jones continues to elevate his stock with another home run that lifts the Colorado Rockies to victory on the road against the Washington Nationals. NoJo and the Rox, 6-3 since the All-Star break, had three-hit performances from Alan Trejo, Ezequiel Tovar and Randal Grichuk. Following the trade of Pierce Johnson, Grichuk seems a certainty to be dealt at the…
Miami Marlins had lost eight games in a row before the Colorado Rockies took them to the brink for no. 9. The Fish needed 10 innings and a walk-off from National League batting leader Luis Arraez to get their first win since July 9. How did Colorado’s trade candidates do? Do we have ourselves a new starting rotation? Are we…
The pursuit — rather, the avoidance — of 100 losses is back on for the Colorado Rockies following a 14-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. At 32-51 (.386) and 5-17 against the National League West, including zero series wins in seven meetings, the annual look towards future Rockies seasons is officially upon us. With 10 players currently…
Colorado Rockies road trip from hell is finally over. At least there’s that. America’s Team did a number on the Rox to keep their winning streak alive as there were barely enough pitchers available to finish the series with the Cincinnati Reds. Is Nolan Jones the one true Nolan? Will there be more additions to the injury list. And what…
Fenway Park was the scene of another wild game for the Colorado Rockies. Much like the comeback win on Sunday, the extra-inning win over the Boston Red Sox featured a rain delay and more outstanding performances from the entire roster. Who was better in their Beantown return: Daniel Bard or Connor Seabold? Which player made the more critical defensive save:…
Wednesday began the official start of MLB All-Star Game voting and the Colorado Rockies have nine players on the National League ballot. The last two years, Colorado had only one selection to the Midsummer Classic: Germán Márquez (2021) and C.J. Cron (2022). Since teams towards the top of the standings typically have more All-Stars than those at the bottom, this…
Colorado Rockies continue to win in bunches and take their 7th series in 10 tries in Sunday’s win over the New York Mets. Since April 30th, the Rox are 16-10, second-best in the National League. How many games in a row does Ryan McMahon with a home run? Is it time for a change at closer with Daniel Bard dominating…
Twice this season, Germán Márquez stepped off the back of the pitcher’s plate and descended the mound with a look of dread on his face that seemingly exhausted the hopes of his teammates. Though the news of Tommy John surgery for Márquez cuts short his 2023 — and puts in jeopardy his place with the Colorado Rockies for 2024 –…
The 2023 Colorado Rockies (5-13) are off to the worst start in the franchise’s 31-year history through 18 games. Owner Dick Monfort thought his team might be no better than .500 going into the season; however, GM Bill Schmidt feels there’s plenty of time to turn things around in spite of the struggles that have led to a seven-game losing…
Trea Turner goes off against Venezuela and Cuba as Team USA rolls into the WBC Final against the winner of Mexico and Japan. Daniel Bard struggled on Saturday, plunking Jose Altuve and showing some wildness during a 4-run inning. Should Colorado Rockies fans be considered? Should fans be excited by the addition of OF Jurickson Profar? The 30-year-old signs a…
SCOTTSDALE – The last time the Colorado Rockies made the postseason, six pitchers in their rotation made 162 starts for them. DJ LeMahieu missed 39 games over three stints on the injured list while only Carlos González spent time on the IL among those in the starting lineup from a healthy 91-win club that came one game away from winning…
Spring Training has begun! The Colorado Rockies start camp with an extension for manager Bud Black and GM Bill Schmidt discusses the young outfielders like Zac Veen and Brenton Doyle. Kyle Freeland and Alan Trejo share their emotions about playing in the World Baseball Classic while Nolan Jones introduces himself to the new clubhouse. The DNVR Rockies Podcast breaks down…
In exactly one month, baseball returns from its winter slumber with a simple pop of the mitt on back fields all across Arizona and Florida. Laughs, good-natured ribbing and loud barking from seasoned coaches will fill Salt River Fields when pitchers and catchers report to the Spring Training home of the Colorado Rockies on February 15. Not everyone will be…
With one foot into the new year as the final one steps away from 2022, there’s one last chance to reflect on the highlights from the previous season, especially those memorable moments that didn’t pertain to wins and losses. We strive to share the view from the inside of the beloved teams from our region at DNVR. We also aim…
The Year 2022 was a return to normalcy around the world following the pandemic shutdowns that wrought havoc on anything outside the comforts of our home. Fans were finally allowed back into ballparks at full capacity. In Denver, that meant over 2.5 million tickets sold at Coors Field to see the 68-94 Colorado Rockies. That was good for 10th-best in…
