Kyle Freeland unveiled his new changeup grip against Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels. Kris Bryant made his Rockies’ debut and looked sharp at the plate. The batting lineup on Tuesday may be what we get on Opening Day. Patrick Lyons breaks down a few simple alternatives that we could also see this season. “Banter From The…
Drew Goodman joins us for the chatter coming out of Colorado Rockies Spring Training. The outside expectations may be low, but these players believe in themselves.
The Colorado Rockies are just terrible. You’ve heard it. You’ve read it. In fact, you probably came to that conclusion long before you had to hear it or read it. For the last 222 games of competition, they’ve been one of the worst teams in all of Major League Baseball. On top of that, they haven’t signed any key free…
Your team needs to get more good players. It actually doesn’t matter which club you root for in MLB – or in any sport, really – because the statement remains just as true. It sure as hell doesn’t need to be pointed out to Colorado Rockies fans after an abysmal 2020 campaign. That statement, taken by itself though, isn’t particularly…
We are 19 games into a 60 game season and while the Colorado Rockies have gotten out to about as good a start as anyone could have hoped for, every single negative is going to be magnified because every mistake is that much more costly. As such, it is only right that we hold the microscope up to every underperforming…...
On the Colorado Rockies version of Mt. Rushmore, there are three indisputable faces inscribed. The first belongs to Todd Helton, Mr. Rockie, who spent 17 seasons in the Majors and two years in the minors, all with Colorado. The second belongs to Larry Walker, the first and to this point still only, Hall-of-Famer in franchise history. The third belongs to…
The Colorado Rockies come into Spring Training 2020 with quite a bit more buzz than usual. Most of that is related to an offseason rift between star third baseman Nolan Arenado and GM Jeff Bridich which itself is related to general frustration with a lack of movement from the front office and rumors that Arenado was shopped around. But there…
DENVER – When a season is filled with silver linings, that usually means that it was mostly comprised of one enormous mushroom cloud of bad baseball. And that is certainly true of the Colorado Rockies 2019 campaign. Both sides. There are a ton of positives to take away from this last place team. Plenty of young players emerged as…...

(Let us know how you liked this new audio format in the comment section) There is a debate among those who follow the Los Angeles Dodgers closely about whether or not a strategy they employed a year ago was both a blessing and their undoing. As the season wore on and their seemingly bottomless resources led to a stockpiling of…
Over the years, the Colorado Rockies, like every baseball team, have employed some questionable strategies. Even in the last two years as the team has soared to back to back postseason appearances, there have been heated debates about the makeup and use of the roster. Chief among these arguments have been whether or not the team is aggressive enough on…...
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The Colorado Rockies had, by all accounts, a relatively quiet offseason in between their exhilarating 2018 campaign and the upcoming 2019 one filled with so much promise. They let some of the most recognizable and talented players in the history of the franchise leave in free agency, mostly to the New York Yankees, and made only one…...
Things will be different for Nolan Arenado in 2019. As it stood, 2018 was already a peculiar season in the career of the superstar third baseman. He finished highest in his career for MVP voting (third) despite putting up numbers below his previous three-year averages in home runs, batting average, and slugging percentage. Even his defense, while still stellar and…...
For most of the offseason, we’ve been left to our own speculative devices when it comes to projecting the Colorado Rockies 2019 roster and lineup. Though we’ve been able to use a solid combination of deductive reasoning and a bit of sourced information to make educated guesses, the first few days of spring camp have brought some clarification and confirmation…...
DENVER – Sometimes a baseball season is 162 games. Sometimes, it’s just one. And then there are those times when after playing 162 games and then one more… and then one more… your season becomes defined by a three-game sample size in which you were handily swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in a very public display of offensive futility. Y’know,…
On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman dives deep into the Rockies roster once more then answers a few off-the-wall questions. We try to create an all-time team made up of only left-handed players, attempt to assign a dog breed to each member of the starting rotation, then sober ourselves with some talk of the budget and…...
On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons take an in-depth look at the possible lineups and roster constructions that the Colorado Rockies could employ in 2019. How will the defense align most of the time? How much platooning will we really see? And how do things change depending on which young players emerge?...
DENVER – After putting together one of the single most impressive seasons in recent MLB memory, Charlie Blackmon came into 2018 with high hopes and, soon thereafter, a shiny new contract worth 106 million over six years. Dealing with some back and knee issues early in the year, his production dropped a bit as his slumps seemed to linger longer…...
