When Dodgers’ Will Smith swung through an 0-2 knuckle curve from Cubs’ Craig Kimbrel to finish a combined no-hitter on June 25, few expected it would somehow be the beginning of the end for the North Siders. Tied for first in the NL Central with the Milwaukee Brewers and nine-games over .500 at the end of that memorable day, Chicago…...
The comparison game can be poison. Almost all of us do it, though. We compare our own personal and professional successes with others as a way of trying to understand our own place in the world. We do this knowing full well that each of us is an individual who must forge their own unique path. Of course, we do…...
The Colorado Rockies record is pretty ugly but the starting pitching has been the opposite and some young hitters are showing promise. Drew Goodman joins us to break it all down.
When Cody Bellinger hit an outside-the-park single on Opening Day, it appeared to be one of the more improbable, quixotic plays witnessed in LoDo and was a reminder that anything can happen in any baseball game. Unfortunately for the Colorado Rockies, most of the unusual occurrences this season have been slanted toward the wrong side of history. With a win-loss…
The Colorado #Rockies are off to a tough start. Drew Goodman joins us to share some insight and remember some rough times he spent covering the Denver Nuggets. Plus, Ryan McMahon’s blistering start!
When Samuel L. Jackson arrived on screen for the first time as Nick Fury in 2008’s Iron Man, letting us know that, “there was an idea,” audiences worldwide were intrigued and fascinated but could not truly have known what was yet to come. After a few more successful movies in what would become known as the MCU, the entire project…...
DNVR Rockies beat reporters Drew Creasman and Patrick Lyons battle for supremacy discussing various hot topics pertaining to the inhabitants of 2001 Blake Street as well all the scuttlebutt in and around the game of baseball. The coldest, hardest winter on record for supporters of the Colorado Rockies has finally come to an end. Spring Training has begun and along…
It’s early October 2021. The leaves on the trees are turning color and falling gently onto increasingly snowy streets and driveways. The smell of postseason baseball is in the air. There are more fans in the stadiums now, not to full capacity, but things are starting to feel closer to normal again. The playoff picture is beginning to emerge more…...
The Colorado Rockies are just terrible. You’ve heard it. You’ve read it. In fact, you probably came to that conclusion long before you had to hear it or read it. For the last 222 games of competition, they’ve been one of the worst teams in all of Major League Baseball. On top of that, they haven’t signed any key free…
Nearly two months after the final out of the World Series, someone forgot to tell Major League Baseball that the Hot Stove is supposed to provide some warmth during late December. At least the Colorado Rockies are doing what they can raise the temperature. Little has transpired this offseason by way of significant transactions, and more questions exist than answers…
Displaying a creative and appropriate use of an opener during a 7-2 victory, San Francisco showed Colorado how strategical ingenuity can be the difference in holding onto the final spot as the National League Wild Card and being an also-ran. Reliever Caleb Barager retired the side in order to start the game before starting pitcher Logan Webb took over in…
When it comes to playing the Padres at Coors Field the last few seasons, there’s one Rockies starting pitcher that you don’t have to worry about. Unfortunately, without a complete game from Antonio Senzatela and his career 2.70 ERA against San Diego, the bullpen could not handle the final six outs. But before Rockies fans pulled out the final strand…
Sunday is typically a day of rest. For fans of the Rockies who noticed Nolan Arenado missing from the starting lineup, they probably understood the rationale for the day off. Unfortunately, the final score reflected a team that also took a respite in the Dodgers 11-3 victory that sealed a three-game sweep and continued the Rockies losing streak to seven…
Jon Gray may have entered Sunday’s affair with a 6.41 ERA and questions about his slightly diminished fastball, but he left with his longest outing of the season (7 IP) and with the most strikeouts (7) since exactly one year ago during Colorado’s 10-4 win. In a similar vein, the bats provided the most runs this year thanks to an…
We are 19 games into a 60 game season and while the Colorado Rockies have gotten out to about as good a start as anyone could have hoped for, every single negative is going to be magnified because every mistake is that much more costly. As such, it is only right that we hold the microscope up to every underperforming…...
By the fourth inning of game four, the Rockies had made their move on the Athletics to put together the most complete game of the early season during a decisive 8-3 victory that moved Colorado to 3-1 and kept them atop the NL West standings. It was the type victory you draw up when hoping the best for every aspect…
When the Rockies were held scoreless on Friday night against the Texas Rangers, it snapped a National League record of 11 straight Opening Day games in which they had hit a home run. Considering the streak produced only three trips to the playoffs, such a detail should not warrant major conclusions about the future of this or any other season.…
The Colorado Rockies did not play an altogether poor baseball game against the Texas Rangers on Opening Day, July 24, 2020. They pitched incredibly well. They played fantastic defense. They had the right offensive approach that should be followed for the entirety of the campaign. On a mental level, they played the better baseball game. But fortune was not on…...
As a part of our Quest for the Asterisk series, we’ll be taking a look at the players who will be most pivotal in taking the Colorado Rockies back to the postseason in 2020. Every team needs their stars to lead by example, both on the field and statistically. It’s a waste of time to tell you that Nolan Arenado…
If the 60-game sprint leaves the 2020 Colorado Rockies with strained hamstrings and wicked case of plantar fasciitis, it won’t be a major shock. A disappointment, yes. A surprise, no. With an abbreviated and unpredictable season that increases favorable outcomes for even the worst teams – Baltimore and Miami could actually slip into the postseason – not a lot would…...
