DENVER – If you’ve watched enough Rockies games this season, the odds suggest you’ve seen a player or two reach into their back pocket and pull out a note card. Simply put, the laminated cards pertain to defensive alignments for each batter in the opposing lineup. And though these placements are based upon results of countless at-bats culled together by…...
Sunday’s comeback of epic proportions, a five-run rally against rival Arizona in the bottom of the eighth – the first such comeback in nearly five years – was precisely what Colorado needed. Not just because it was against another NL West squad or because they avoided a sweep. But it was how they strung together six at bats without trying…
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies have never come into a season with the kind of expectations they – and just about everyone else – placed on themselves coming into the 2019 season. This is one of the many reasons why an eight-game losing streak, more or less out of the gate, became so magnified outside the clubhouse. Inside of it,…...
DENVER – On a night when Kyle Freeland recaptured his brilliance at home and the Rockies took down the team with the best record in the National League, it was the return of Ryan McMahon that fans talked about as they exited the park.

DENVER – David Dahl and Ryan McMahon have been activated ahead of a seven-game homestand which is huge and timely since they’ll be facing several RHP this week.

DENVER: Everything Josh Fuentes had been working toward nearly disappeared when he broke the hamate bone in his left hand early in Spring Training before exhibition games had even begun. “The doctor said six-to-eight and then you start doing all this stuff. For me, I was like, ‘There’s no way that’s happening. I need to be good a soon as…...
DENVER – When it rains, it pours. And right now, it’s raining trips to the trainer’s room for the Colorado Rockies since the beginning of April’s showers.

Beginning on April 1, the Rockies suffered the biggest…
DENVER – Reinvesting over $300 million in players this offseason was only part of the master plan for Colorado Rockies owner/chairman and CEO Dick Monfort.

Though each man made a strong case, only one stood out: Ryan McMahon. The 24-year-old was the winner of the Abby Greer Award as the best player in Spring Training after batting .424 (25-for-59) with 3 home runs…
Just when it seemed the presence of Mr. Barrels would be missing on the 2019 Colorado Rockies, an unforseen injury has brought him back with his brothers. After a delayed start to 2018 that limited Daniel Murphy to 91 games because of knee surgery, the first baseman will now deal with his first stint on the Injured List with Colorado…...
Before the Rockies got a chance to really display their new $24MM purchase, an unfortunate injury will force them put him back in the display case for another day joining reliever Chris Rusin and starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela. Signed in large part because of his postseason resume and swing that plays perfectly for the confines of Coors Field, Daniel Murphy…
With a 2-0 start to the 2019 season and their first consecutive victory at Marlins Park in the same calendar year, the Colorado Rockies have a lot of positives to reflect upon. Starting Pitching Opening Day ace Kyle Freeland was perfect going into the fourth inning, retiring eleven straight batters – four on strikeouts – to start the game. He…...
The Colorado Rockies looked every bit the complete team they hope to be in their first contest of 2019 against the Miami Marlins. Starter Kyle Freeland pitched well and deep into the game. The batting order got contributions up and down the lineup, the young players were pivotal, and the bullpen put the game away without much drama. Baseball is…...

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon has been a model of consistency for his club over the last five years. He cemented himself into the leadoff spot in the lineup very early on in his MLB career and almost as quickly became a fixture in the massive expanse that is centerfield at Coors Field. Never among the fastest…...
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The Colorado Rockies had, by all accounts, a relatively quiet offseason in between their exhilarating 2018 campaign and the upcoming 2019 one filled with so much promise. They let some of the most recognizable and talented players in the history of the franchise leave in free agency, mostly to the New York Yankees, and made only one…...
