After a week of Spring Training games, the picture is beginning to develop for the Colorado Rockies. We know the results from those contests should be taken with a grain of salt. The highs and lows must be viewed with an err on the side of caution. (Insert any other idiom you can think about for this time of the…

It may have been a far cry from the franchise-record 96 wins prescribed before the season, but the Colorado Rockies had their share of highlights during a 26-34 (.433) campaign. While it would have taken just three more wins to get Colorado into the postseason, many felt the disappointing performances outnumbered the positive ones in the pursuit of the club’s…
The ingredients were procured and the recipe was finally prepared to the chef’s preference. Great starting pitching, solid defense, clutch hitting from the star and a competent/competitive bullpen. Together, it made for a 5-2 victory for the Rockies over the Dodgers, only the second in Southern California in their last 19 contests. The crux of matchup came in the top…
It began to feel like the Rockies were never going to beat the Dodgers ever again. Not in 2020 and maybe never again. Then, Kevin Pillar mashed a two-out grand slam in the top of the eighth to flip the lead and gave Colorado a 6-5 advantage. Mere minutes later, the realities of the final six outs began to soften…
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…
If the first five starts of the season weren’t convincing enough, Kyle Freeland’s start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers should have made it clear. The Colorado Kid is back. As for the rest of the club, that’s a horse of a different color. Freeland made one bad pitch all night, a changeup to Chris Taylor whose 367ft pop-up…
In the first extra-inning affair of the season, impressive performances from two of the lesser recognized Rockies were wiped away as the Astros came away victorious, 2-1. Myles Straw delivered the final blow for the walk-off winner in the 11th against Jairo Díaz, who was placed in the no-win situation. With the likes of such pitching luminaries as Yu Darvish,…
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.

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.

There are a lot of way in which the 2020 MLB season is going to look a lot different than any we’ve ever witnessed before. Of course, the 60-game schedule stands out as the headliner among the changes as well it should. Perhaps next on the list, though, is the expansion of the rosters from 26, already up one from…...
Through good times and bad over the last three years, one of the central struggles of the Colorado Rockies has been figuring out how to balance a roster that has a lot of young and promising talent that happen to play the same position as already established veterans.

On the final day of the 2018 regular season with the fate of the NL West hanging in the balance, a certain bright-eyed minor leaguer showed up to Coors Field to witness the potentially historic game.

Last week, we reminded ourselves how extremely volatile bullpens can be in general and noted that for the Colorado Rockies, this is doubly so. Also this wide window of possibilities, from the best to the worst case scenarios, seems to represent a wide range of possible outcomes for the club in the upcoming 2020 season. This isn’t just the situation…...
