When German Marquez takes the mound takes the mound on Wednesday night, he will be five strikeouts short of becoming the Colorado Rockies’ single-season crown. If he punches out a handful of Philadelphia Phillies at Coors Field, he’ll pass Ubaldo Jimenez’s mark of 214 that he reached in his legendary 2010 campaign, as teammate Kyle Freeland tries to best Ubaldo’s…...
In a previous Rockies Film Room, we discussed the plate adjustments Trevor Story made to earn his first All Star Game berth in July. In that piece, we mentioned briefly about the steps he’s taken with his defense as well. But in recent weeks, his long and often pivotal home runs have been crowded with highlight-reel glovework, coming with a…...
The Colorado Rockies made only one trade in the days approaching the July non-waiver trade deadline, landing some much-needed relief support in Seunghwan Oh from Toronto on July 26. Since his acquisition, the necessity of his presence has become even more apparent. The Rockies have already lost in three games on walk-offs in August. Closer incumbent Wade Davis is on…...
It’s a simple, if not overplayed, Hollywood trope. It may be a couple years overdue, but Trevor Story is an All-Star. A story of promise, then adversity and, finally, vindication. For Story, his plotline went from rookie sensation and snubbing to sophomore bust and now he is on his way to Washington, D.C. as one of three Rockies representing the…...
On Wednesday night, Kyle Freeland recorded his sixth consecutive quality start, limiting the Los Angeles Dodgers to three runs in 6.2 innings, and although the Rockies would not provide enough offense to get him the win, he did his job and did it admirably. Again. Freeland has kept opponents below four runs in eight of his 10 starts so far…...
The lackluster Colorado Rockies offense nearly hit rock bottom on Tuesday. A team that has struggled all season watched (in an almost literal sense) former Rockie Jordan Lyles carry a perfect game into the eighth inning. For those living under a rock and are hearing this news for the first time, don’t worry, we were all as shocked as you…...
As Jon Gray prepares for his first start at Coors Field this season, he comes in with a pair of games under his belt, and a pair of different results. On Opening Day, March 29 in Arizona, Gray’s start drew unfortunate comparisons to the 2017 National League Wild Card game. He surrendered two runs on two singles, a walk and a…...
For the first time in more than a year, Coors Field hosted an extra inning game. But it would not have happened without some spectacular plays on both sides of the ball from the Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies. The 3-2 walk-off walk victory was not won with the bats, but in the field. Where runs were scarce and offense a…...
