Mental errors are unforgivable in baseball. However, they are quickly forgotten if the player who committed that error delivers in the bottom of the 9th inning with the game on the line. That is exactly what happened for Ben Paulsen. The first baseman stepped to the plate with one out in the 9th inning with the game tied. The…...

Apparently God doesn’t like watching bad baseball. How else can you explain the rain that has followed the Colorado Rockies around all season long? The club has had more than 24 hours worth of rain delays, but that only includes games that were delayed after the first pitch. The Rockies have seen delays in both Los Angeles and San…...

Well, if there was any momentum that the Colorado Rockies may have built, it was officially crushed by the All-Star break. The Rockies lost for the second straight night to the San Diego Padres 5-4. It was another up-and-down game in which the Rockies were down early, got back into it, then watched as the bullpen gave up a…...

A high school coach used to say something all the time. “Physical errors are going to happen, but there is no excuse for a mental error.” That high school coach wouldn’t have liked the Colorado Rockies performance on Friday night. After four days off, the club returned to San Diego, where they ran themselves out of an inning and…...

Break’s over, back to reality. For fans of many baseball teams around the country, the four-day All-Star break is way too long. Their team is in the thick of a pennant race and they are dying to see their team keep the momentum going. For fans of the Colorado Rockies, the break is a much-needed breath of fresh air…...

Don’t be deceived by the 11-3 final score on Sunday. The Colorado Rockies swept the Atlanta Braves in a four-game series to head into the All-Star break. The wins were fun, and Sunday’s game came with an offensive explosion, but the sweep wasn’t because of the offense. Plain and simple, the Rockies took all four games from the Braves…...

Carlos Gonzalez drilled a 1st inning homer to get the Colorado Rockies on the board, then he blooped a 9th inning base hit to win the game in walk-off style. The Rockies won their afternoon affair with the Braves 3-2. The two hits accounted for three RBIs, which was the total number of runs the Rockies scored on Saturday…...

No, the Colorado Rockies shouldn’t trade Troy Tulowitzki. Let’s be clear about that. While the Rockies were winning their second consecutive game against the Atlanta Braves 5-3, the second sellout crowd was forced to wait through a rain delay–for the fireworks. The Rockies won a game with two minor league call-ups, Gonzalez German and journeyman Aaron Laffey. The game…...

For years, disgruntled fans of the Colorado Rockies have been calling for a boycott of Coors Field. They say that the only way ownership will make changes is if they get hit in the pocketbook. The problem, however, is that summer nights, with the sun setting over the Rocky Mountains, in the dry, crisp air, provides such a beautiful…...

The only thing worse than watching the Colorado Rockies lose for their fans is having to stay up past midnight to watch them lose. On Wednesday night against the Angels, the Rockies had plenty of chances to win, but they couldn’t put things together, losing 3-2 when Los Angeles squeaked a run across the plate in the top of…...

After Chad Bettis allowed 10 earned runs in 2-1/3 innings, he told the throng of media that it was time to hit the delete button on his start. Fans of the Colorado Rockies are probably thinking harder about hitting Control-Alt-Delete on the entire season. The old saying in baseball “it was one of those days” has been used far…...

Jorge De La Rosa did what he has done 1,000 times. He struck out a bunch of Diamondbacks. In fact, while recording his 1,000th career strikeout, De La Rosa pitched the Colorado Rockies out of their losing streak and gave them some momentum. The Rockies bullpen predictably had fans biting their nails late in the game, but ultimately the…...

If watching Joey Chestnut polish off 69 hot dogs on the 4th of July didn’t make you want to throw up, the end of the Colorado Rockies game probably did the trick. Once again, in a close game going down to the wire, the Rockies turned a potential win into a blowout loss in the late innings. It was…...

Want to know what happened in the Colorado Rockies game on Saturday night? Click on the archives section, head back to anytime in August of 2014, 2013 or 2012 and read. With the substitution of a few names, the story is the exact same. Different year, same story for the Rockies. In the early going of the Rockies 2015…...

The sad thing about the 2015 season for the Colorado Rockies is that it is only the beginning of July. Had the Root Sports cameras panned over to the Rockies dugout at the end of the Diamondbacks 8-1 drubbing of the Rockies, there very well may have been a white flag being waved. It hasn’t just been that type…...

Colorado Rockies fans won’t know what they had until he’s gone. Jorge De La Rosa, perhaps the most under-appreciated starting pitcher in Rockies history, did what he seems to do every time he takes the mound. Every fifth day, it feels like the words are all the same. It feels like the scenario is almost exactly the same every…...

It’s been a common theme for the 2015 Colorado Rockies. The starter goes out and gives up a few runs early and the offense is forced to play catch-up all night long as the starter continues to slowly give up runs. On Monday night in Oakland, David Hale gave up four 1st inning runs on two, two-run home runs.…...

This is starting to get ridiculous. Despite the Colorado Rockies 6-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday at AT&T Park, the story remains the emergence of Nolan Arenado as not just an All-Star, but as a superstar. The third baseman stepped to the plate in the 1st inning with a runner on second base and one out.…...

It must be nice to be a fan of the San Francisco Giants. Those who watch the Colorado Rockies can only be jealous. Saturday afternoon at AT&T Park was the latest example of who the Giants are, from top-to-bottom of their entire organization. The Rockies, up three runs early, were never able to get comfortable, and were never able…...
