This one was over almost as soon as it began. After the Colorado Rockies missed out on a chance to score after a walk and a HBP in the top of the first, the Milwaukee Brewers… did not. Starter Tyler Anderson, who is normally sharp early and often, was neither at any point during the second game of the set.…...
The Colorado Rockies just cannot seem to figure out a way to win in St. Louis against the Cardinals. In another tight contest, the visitors took a lead into the final inning thanks to some phenomenal pitching by Antonio Senzatela, Seunghwan Oh, and Adam Ottavino, but Wade Davis couldn’t close the deal, falling victim to a trio of singles, the…...
In the 49 games leading into Tuesday night’s contest between the Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals, Carlos Gonzalez was hitting .330/.378/.566 with eight home runs and 29 RBI. And somehow that production has managed to fly under the radar. He kept it going on a 2-for-3 night at the plate with another big round-tripper, pairing perfectly with Gray’s third…...
The Colorado Rockies got a big swing from their best player and mostly played well in a place that has not been kind to them throughout their history but another seventh-inning collapse ultimately led to a St. Louis Cardinals walk-off 5-4 win in extras. Both starters, Carlos Martinez and Tyler Anderson, pitched well in the early going but left the…...
DENVER – One of the truisms across all professional sports is that when teams are performing well they are getting contributions from everyone; the proverbial “it’s a different guy every night.” On this night at Coors Field, in front of another capacity crowd, Pat Valaika was that guy. Optioned to Triple-A earlier in the season after he was unable to…...
The Colorado Rockies and Houston Astros battled in a closely contested ballgame for most of Tuesday night at Coors Field after about an hour-long rain delay. The clubs looked on an even playing field and the late-game momentum was even with the home team, but a few key errors on defense and an implosion from their closer saw the Rockies…...
The Colorado Rockies were due for a clunker. After having already won the road series against division rivals, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the odds were not in their favor with youngster Antonio Senzatela making just his third start of the season against Zack Greinke who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball for most of the last decade. Senzatela…...
It had been a running theme even in the early stages of the 2018 season, when almost no transactions were made: If the Colorado Rockies were going to get to the postseason, they are going to need at least 35 of the men on the 40-man roster to help them get there. The “I-25ers” as we’ve come to call them,…...
Raimel Tapia has had difficulty sticking at the MLB level. There have been questions about his defensive utility and baserunning—a general concern that he may be a bit too costly in the finer details of the game—to be given a permanent spot. But there has never been any question that the kid can hit. After a back and forth affair…...
DENVER – In his last contest before his first appearance at his first All-Star game, Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story put a bow on top of his phenomenal first half by hitting the first walk-off home run of his career. In a back and forth affair that was regularly impacted by inclement weather, Story smashed his 20th home run of…
DENVER – When the Colorado Rockies announced that it would indeed be Opening Day starter Jon Gray who would need to be recalled for Saturday’s matchup with the Seattle Mariners, the news was not exactly met with resounding applause from fans. But by the time he left the mound in an eventual 4-1 win, the roars from the home faithful…...
DENVER – On paper, Friday night’s contest between the Colorado Rockies and the Seattle Mariners was set to be an odd one. Both clubs needed to reach into their depth and call up a pitcher to make the start. For the Mariners, it was former-Rockie, Christian Bergman. For the Rox, it was the highly touted but still unpolished Jeff Hoffman.…...
DENVER – Everyone in the Colorado Rockies clubhouse likes the days when Kyle Freeland pitches. And this was one of those days. Reeling just a few days ago from having lost nine straight at home to division rivals, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Rockies fed off the energy of their young starter to win the game 5-1 and take their fourth…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies, apparently, were not especially thrilled with being asked incessantly after Tuesday’s night’s frustrating late loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks about their then nine-game home losing streak against their division rivals. Unleashing those frustrations in a fury of firepower, the home team scored 19 runs on 19 hits on Wednesday night, completely dismantling the Diamondbacks from…...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies have set a new inauspicious record. In losing a tough one to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night, by a score of 5-3, they have now dropped nine straight games to their division rivals in their own ballpark, a franchise record. Tyler Anderson was terrific again but the Diamondbacks grinded his pitch count and chased…...
The Colorado Rockies were on the verge of a second-straight sweep, this one on the road against the Seattle Mariners, when the starting rotation experienced the first stumble in a while. Antonio Senzatela almost salvaged his outing but a big home run from Ryon Healy ultimately swung the game. And Colorado’s Sunday woes continued with their sixth consecutive loss on…...
Noel Cuevas earned his spot on an MLB roster through hard work, perseverance, and his ability to hit left-handed pitching. Making his debut just a few short months ago, he has proven to be a valuable piece off the bench and in favorable matchups for the occasional start. He got the start on Saturday afternoon against the Seattle Mariners, coming…...
Just before Friday night’s contest between the Colorado Rockies and the Seattle Mariners, it was announced that catcher Tom Murphy, who was originally to start behind the plate, would need to be a late scratch so he could get home to attend the birth of his child. That meant Tony Wolters, usually a defensive specialist, was required to make an…...
DENVER – In his first appearance since returning from Triple-A—and in the first game pitched by someone outside of the five rotational starters the Colorado Rockies began the season with—Antonio Senzatela was magnificent. The 23-year-old could not have asked for a warmer welcome back to the bigs, dominating the San Francisco Giants over seven innings. He gave up just three…...
DENVER – On the recent California road trip, the Colorado Rockies managed to turn each of the six games into close ones though a few went down as bitter losses. It seemed like every key play that came down to a matter of inches went against them. But, in a rematch between ace Madison Bumgarner and ace-hopeful Kyle Freeland, the…...
