The Colorado Rockies entered the week having not yet won a game on the road and exited it with a pair of wins. The rest of the time, they continued to look overmatched and outclassed while playing away from their friendly confines. A young and inexperienced team continued to look young and inexperienced and other than a few standout individual…...
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 improved to 12-5 thanks to an 8-7 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks that basically played out as two different ballgames. The first one saw a pitcher’s duel between Kyle Freeland and Zac Gallen that ended up playing out to a 2-2, seven-inning dray. Then things got crazy. Gallen has never allowed more than three runs in a…...
The Colorado Rockies got off to a good start in Seattle by comfortably taking their first game against the Mariners by a score of 8-4. For the third time in a row, Antonio Senzatela pitched very well but couldn’t quite manage that totally dominant start, allowing a couple of earned runs over six innings pitched. He gave up an early…...
The Colorado Rockies took the series 3-1 from the San Francisco Giants on Thursday afternoon, but it wasn’t easy. It looked for a moment like Mauricio Dubon had ruined a fantastic afternoon from Kyle Freeland and stolen a victory for the Giants when a three-run jack in the seventh suddenly put Colorado behind, 3-1. The Rockies responded with ferocity, plating…...
This is the type of game the Rockies won all the time in 2017 and 2018; it’s precisely the type they lost in 2019. There were some key differences is this defeat, but the similarities were blatant. Trevor Story nearly played the hero with a late home run but an implosion from closer Wade Davis wasted an otherwise quality game…
The Colorado Rockies were heavily criticized in the offseason (the first one) for making very few changes to the roster. Time will tell if their track will be the right one, but there is certainly an irony to the fact that a pair of newcomers helped power them to their first win of 2020. Matt Kemp, making his first start…...
The Colorado Rockies put an old fashioned shellacking on the Kansas City Royals in one of two games they played on Saturday in split squad action. The 9-1 final score in favor of the purplers perfectly represents the game as Colorado dominated at the plate, on the mound, and in the field. Turning Point – 7-run Second Colorado put up…...
On a beautiful afternoon at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale Arizona, the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs faced off in a long and plodding contest that saw almost every flyball get lost in the perfect blue sky. The Cubs led for most of the afternoon but a sudden burst of late energy saw the Rockies plate five runs in the…...
It looked like the Colorado Rockies were in for a lackluster loss at the hands of the Texas Rangers on Wendesday afternoon but Bret Boswell kept his hot spring alive with a huge late swing of the bat to give his club a 4-3 win. Player of the Game: Ubaldo Jimenez He wasn’t anything special on the mound, giving up…...
It was a beautiful spring afternoon in Tempe Arizona and there was baseball again. The glorious sounds, smells and sights returned. Though not the stakes. And the battles have begun. It is the time of year when those whose spots are not sure thing, fight and scratch and claw for a place on the team. The Colorado Rockies finally got…...
The Colorado Rockies came out swinging in their first game of this road trip against the Los Angeles Dodgers, taking an early lead and playing some solid baseball until the wheels came off the wagon in a bottom of the fourth that decided the game. The visitors took the lead in the top of the first with back-to-back home runs…...
DENVER – We had ourselves a good old fashioned pitchers’ duel at Coors Field on Tuesday night… until we didn’t anymore. Tim Melville of the Colorado Rockies and Marcus Stroman of the New York Mets matched each other early through the first half of the game. Through five innings, the two teams combined for a grand total of four hits,…...
DENVER – Well, it’s all a bit too late but it can’t be denied that the Colorado Rockies are playing solid fundamental baseball right now.

DENVER – After surprisingly taking the series against the NL Central leading St. Louis Cardinals, the Colorado Rockies kept their little bit of late-season momentum going on Saturday night at Coors Field.

After taking the first two games in the series, both by a score of 2-1, the Colorado Rockies lost the finale to the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 10-3.

The St. Louis Cardinals came into Coors Field hot and hoping to stay that way as they battle for postseason positioning in the National League Central, currently sitting atop that division. But for the second straight contest, they lost a pitchers’ duel to the Colorado Rockies who held on to win 2-1 and to secure an improbable series win. It…...
You can’t win baseball games if you don’t score runs. I’m pretty sure I read that someplace. The Colorado Rockies celebrated a brief respite from losing on Friday night by recording just three hits and failing to score in their second game against the San Diego Padres on Saturday. The 3-0 loss wasted a second straight quality outing from starting…...
