For years – 25 of them in fact – hot stove conversation around the Colorado Rockies always had something to do with starting pitching. But not this offseason. No, during this break between the 2018 and 2019 seasons, all the chatter, rumors, and fan questions have been about how the club can acquire a big bat, maybe at catcher, first…...
Why are the Colorado Rockies good? We can squabble over the details all day and we will continue to for the rest of 2018 and well into 2019. Should they have gone after more offensive weapons? Could a more proactive approach have led to a more satisfying end to the season? Will the Rockies be content with simply making the postseason…...
DENVER – On April 12, 2017, Denver native Kyle Freeland made the second start of his major league career against the San Diego Padres. You may not remember that start. You’re likely far more familiar with the one right before it; the opening day extravaganza against the Los Angeles Dodgers that stole the heart of this baseball city, the shutout…...
DENVER – It would be tempting to look at Jon Gray’s seven innings of dominance against the Philadelphia Phillies and dismiss it as a good game against a team that is well out of contention behind an offense that took all the pressure off of him by scoring 10 runs. And while there is some validity to such thinking, none…...
I had one simple question for three complex men. The Colorado Rockies have existed for 25 years and for 23 and a half of them, the idea that they could ever boast a dominant pitching staff seemed more far-fetched than anything ripped from the pages of a comic book. And yet, as I stood before a player who has worn…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies have announced that they have recalled left-handed pitcher (usually a starter) Sam Howard from Triple-A Albuquerque to join the bullpen. Harrison Musgrave has been placed on the bereavement list. Howard (25) was drafted by the Rockies in the third round of the 2014 (Kyle Freeland) draft out of Georgia Southern University. In his minor league…...
DENVER – For all of the fascinating aspects of a Colorado Rockies team, with historically-high expectations and a remarkably unusual start to the 2018 campaign, the most famous—or infamous—moments from this season have been the high-profile hit batsmen. Emotions boiled over in their series finale with the San Diego Padres, who are back in town, when Luis Perdomo threw one…...
So far in 2018, the Colorado Rockies have seen some ups and downs from their vaunted-but-still-young starting pitching rotation. But they’ve been healthy, something that is a concern for every staff but has been especially crucial in Colorado. Should that change, the Rockies remain well equipped to dip into their absurdly talented bullpen and have Antonio Senzatela step in, fulfilling…...
The Colorado Rockies rotation hasn't wowed the way many thought it would, could, or should so far in 2018. But Jon Gray tells BSN Denver it will.
DENVER – One of the trickiest lessons of baseball making it an excruciatingly difficult game to master is knowing the difference between when a bad result means a change to the processes required and when it does not. For Colorado Rockies starter Jon Gray, Monday night’s drubbing at the hands of the San Diego Padres fit firmly into the latter…...
The Colorado Rockies haven't exactly been known for their pitching throughout their history. That is, until now. These are the men responsible.
The Colorado Rockies will hand the ball to Jon Gray on Opening Day to face his demons; the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Young Colorado Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela could carve out an unusual and vital role in 2018.
Kyle Freeland has made some adjustments to his mechanics in order to boost his command and velocity. Here's what he had to say about those adjustments.
Carlos Estevez has gone from someone who couldn't stay on the roster to a guy you give the rock with the bases loaded and the best power-hitter in decades at the plate.
DENVER – If you were to ask an average Major League Baseball fan who the best long-reliever in baseball is, they are likely to give you the correct first name. The best longman in the game is, in fact, named Chris, but it isn’t Mr. Devenski of the Houston Astros. Rather, the numbers suggest, the best Chris is Colorado Rockies…...
Tyler Chatwood is still a valuable member of the Colorado Rockies, but where would he be most valuable?
The Colorado Rockies made a couple of transactions on Tuesday that could dramatically improve the bullpen down the stretch.
The Colorado Rockies have their ace back ... and we still haven't seen how good he can be.
On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman wraps up the series against the Chicago Cubs, especially what the final game meant for Antonio Senzatela, Jordan Lyles, and Chad Qualls. Can the questions of what to do when Jon Gray returns and how do the Rockies fix the bullpen have the same answer? Or does Colorado need…...
