It was one of the more disappointing seasons for the starting rotation during the Bud Black’s tenure as manager of the Colorado Rockies. After running out eight different starters, including seven that made 17 or more starts, the 2022 rotation finished with a 5.23 ERA. It was only the second time Black’s rotation had an earned run average greater than…
The injury on Thursday in St. Louis that saw Antonio Senzatela helped off the field turned out to be just as bad as it looked. Possibly even worse. The Colorado Rockies placed the 27-year-old on the injured list with a left ACL tear on Friday that effectively ended his 2022 season. During his pregame media scrum, manager Bud Black announced…...
Kyle Freeland isn’t a licensed electrician, nor has he ever discussed feng shui or interior design during his six seasons with the Colorado Rockies. But he is smart enough to know when something is not right. “Didn’t like where that light was in the dugout,” Freeland explained following a dugout outburst on July 14. “Didn’t look good.” https://twitter.com/DNVR_Rockies/status/1547696758888599552 What prompted…...
“I don’t think it’s any secret that one of the strongest assets of our team is the starting rotation,” Austin Gomber said on Day Two of Colorado Rockies’ Spring Training. Helmed by a returning foursome of Germán Márquez, Antonio Senzatela, Kyle Freeland and Gomber, the entire clubhouse is confident of the staff’s ability. The 11.6 fWAR by the rotation was…...
Bud Black will not be a lame duck manager in the final year of his contract in 2022. Instead, the Colorado Rockies gave him a one-year extension that will keep him as manager through the 2023 season. Black has helmed the club since being hired in 2017, immediately taking Colorado to their first postseason since 2009. He did the same…...
What does it mean for the Colorado Rockies if teams like the Oakland Athletics and Washington Nationals are in sell mode? Should Atlanta refuse to show the bag to their stars, could a Freddie Freeman signing throw a wrench into the works that benefits Colorado? It’s also Day 35 of the lockout and we touch base with where both sides…
Last December, the Colorado Rockies signed RHP Chi Chi González, LHP Zac Rosscup and RHP Joe Harvey to minor league deals that came with invitations to Spring Training. While all three had their contracts selected to the big league roster at one point during the season – only González and Rosscup would actually appear for the club – these transactions…...
This fun crossover with Paul Holden of Locked On Rockies covers a breadth of topics relating to the Denver Nine: the 5th spot in the rotation, the need for bullpen support, the loss of Jon Gray and whether Kris Bryant would be a better option than Trevor Story for the 2022 roster. And we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the…
He’s well known throughout Rockies’ Twitter as @OakTreeStatus and now you get learn about the man behind all that passion as he shares his experiences pulling for the purple. Jon Gray’s deal with Texas isn’t the last one they’ve signed. Tons more transactions around MLB, plus a few names Colorado could bring in to fill that final spot in the…
The unthinkable has happened: Jon Gray is no longer a member of the Colorado Rockies. Instead, he signs with the Texas Rangers to be a part of a squad that lost 102 games last season. Time to break down all the details of his contract, how the Rockies handled it and where they can go from here. “Jon Gray signs…
Once the final out of the World Series nestles into some fortunate player’s mitt – and then back pocket – the Hot Stove Season is officially ushered in. For the purposes of many in sports media, it should also be referred to as Speculation Season. This week, rumors floated by agents and front office executives have floated through social media…...
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.
Welcome to our offseason series, Rox or Roll, where we take an overview of each Colorado Rockies player to determine their value and outlook moving forward. Does this player continue to represent the Rox? Or is his time with Colorado on the downswing and he should roll on up out of here? When examining pitching personnel questions, one must start…...
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…
As a part of our DNVRWatches series, we’ve been treating ourselves to some classic Colorado Rockies games including some spectacular individual pitching performances. Following up on the DNVR Rockies Podcast, we dove deep into a conversation about the single best-pitched games at Coors Field and in franchise history overall. Lots of guys of a talent level good enough to reach…...
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…
A raucous Mother’s Day crowd rose to their feet in an explosion of joy and tears and shivers. And it was for Antonio Senzatela. For the second time in three years, the young Venezuelan who tragically lost his mother about a year before making his MLB debut, found himself toeing the rubber on the day we all take a moment…...
On this episode of the BSN Rockies Podcast, Drew Creasman wraps up a good series that might’ve been great for the Rockies in Atlanta. Another rough day for Tyler Anderson brings back questions about what to do with the fifth spot in the rotation, and the offense looks like it might still be looking for the best version of themselves…...
Something peculiar happened when I first walked into the Colorado Rockies spring training clubhouse this season. It might seem an innocuous thing to highlight but this one small moment spoke volumes more than the countless interviews and interactions I’ve had with Jon Gray over the years. Typically, there would have been the standard greetings, questions about fun offseason activities, what…...
DENVER – It can be easy to forget sometimes, especially these days, that Major League Baseball isn’t a video game. Or a fantasy sport. It’s the real deal. And in a new season of projections and speculations and declarations that some teams have definitively improved while others have assuredly gotten worse, the truth of where wins come from over the…...
