On this episode of the DNVR Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons give their final observations from Colorado Rockies Summer Camp 2020.
And with that, the Colorado Rockies and their 2015 season came to an unceremonious end. Ironically, the Rockies scored seven runs in the top of the 9th inning to beat the San Francisco Giants 7-3 in the season finale. The comeback happened when Corey Dickerson smashed a three-run homer to tie the game while the Denver Broncos were driving…...
As Nolan Arenado trotted around the bases in the top of the 2nd inning in San Francisco, it was easy to reminisce about his breakout season. The home run helped start the scoring as the Rockies won 9-3 to start their final series in a great way. The Colorado Rockies, in an overall horrible season, have had the benefit…...
Remember going on vacation last time? Remember when all that work that you had every intention of getting done before you headed out? Remember when 3 pm rolled around and you realized there was no way to get everything you intended to get done accomplished? Well, that is probably exactly how the Colorado Rockies feel. The only difference is…...
The Colorado Rockies like to torture their fans. If it isn’t with a false hope that accompanies every April, it is forcing fans to stay up late to watch an 11-inning meaningless game in late September only to see them lose in predictable fashion. When Brooks Brown started the bottom of the 11th with 11 straight pitches out of…...
The torch of the Colorado Rockies has officially been passed. Dante Bichette passed the torch to Larry Walker, Larry Walker passed the torch to Todd Helton, Todd Helton passed it to Troy Tulowitzki, and as the 2015 season comes to a close, it can be officially stated that Nolan Arenado has picked up the torch that Tulowitzki left on…...
What might have been? Or maybe the question should be, what could be? As Carlos Gonzalez circled the bases, perhaps for his last time in Colorado Rockies purple and black, it was hard not to ponder just how much fun it could be if the Rockies win on Saturday night had any weight behind it in the standings. Imagine,…...
For a team that is going to lose close to 100 games, notching their 90th loss on Wednesday night, the Colorado Rockies are definitely full of a bunch of guys that are easy to like. Most teams who lose 90 games or more in three consecutive seasons have a marketing nightmare on their hands. They have a team that…...
The Colorado Rockies got to see the exact opposite of where they are heading. When Golden-native Mark Melancon closed out the Rockies in the 9th inning, giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-3 win, the Pirates were in celebration mode. They successfully clinched a playoff spot and with that out of the way, set their sights on the suddenly struggling…...
Celebrating the little wins is a step towards being happy. While fans in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Houston and Chicago are eagerly anticipating an October that could bring excitement for their baseball team, fans of the Colorado Rockies are spending their Saturday night celebrating that their team won’t lose 100 games. It truly is a tiny victory, but two months…...
There isn’t anything left to play for. The Colorado Rockies lot has been cast for the 2015 season. They are going to finish in last place, regardless of how they finish out the season. So on September 18th, with just 15 games to go before finally concluding a very forgettable season, the Rockies 7-4 win against the San Diego…...
It’s been a long season. There is no way around it. The Colorado Rockies have been really bad. When the beginning of September rolls around, no team wants the story line to be about whether the team will be able to avoid losing 100 games or if they will roll right passed that mark. While the team’s 2-0 loss…...
The game that was originally rained out in San Diego saw the Colorado Rockies rain home runs down on the Padres. In a 4-3 victory, the Rockies offense came up with four big flies, propelling the team to victory. Starter Jorge De La Rosa went five innings and gave up three runs. The 4th inning haunted him as he…...
It’s September 9th and the Colorado Rockies lost again. They took on the San Diego Padres, perhaps the most disappointing team in all of Major League Baseball. As mid-September approaches, both teams are looking forward to nothing more than a long vacation after a terrible season. While the Rockies have shown fight even with the season clearly being lost,…...
The good news for Colorado Rockies fans? They have a superstar in Nolan Arenado and what looks like a future star in Jon Gray on the mound. The bad news? The script isn’t going to change for the Rockies anytime soon. On Tuesday night in San Diego, Gray’s five shutout innings weren’t enough, and neither was Arenado’s game-tying home…...
If you saw Kyle Kendrick on the mound with a lead, you probably thought you were dreaming. When he drilled an Ian Kennedy fastball to left field for a long home run, you had no doubt that you would wake up shortly. It was no dream, however, for the Colorado Rockies, as Kendrick homered for the first time in…...
Well, the past three days were fun. Back to reality now, however, for the Colorado Rockies. After games that showed the team and fans what could have been, or what might be in the future, the Rockies welcomed back rationality and reason to Coors Field on Saturday night. After three very good pitching performances, the Rockies got a clunker…...
Close your eyes and pretend that September baseball matters for the Colorado Rockies. It makes it more fun. On Friday night against the San Francisco Giants, the Rockies played like it mattered. They put together a solid game for the second straight night and, even for a brief moment, they looked like they were a team that could compete…...
It was a night where Colorado Rockies fans could only pretend that the results mattered. The Rockies took on the San Francisco Giants in a September 3rd game and pitched brilliantly while the offense did what it was designed to do. The defending World Champions didn’t stand a chance as the Rockies crushed three home runs in the 11-3…...
Sometimes the best trades a team can make are the ones that never get made. That might be the case for general manager Jeff Bridich and the Colorado Rockies when it comes to superstar Carlos Gonzalez. When Troy Tulowitzki was dealt near the trade deadline at the end of July, nearly everyone within the baseball world speculated that CarGo…...
