The World Baseball Classic Final was better than anything we could have predicted and Shawn Spradling from Baseball Isn’t Boring Podcast was there.

World Baseball Classic delivered the dream matchup we all wanted: Team USA against Samurai Japan. Beyond that, we wanted Shohei Ohtani to pitch against his teammate on the Los Angeles Angels, Mike Trout. Game on the line, ninth inning and with two outs, the All-Stars and legends faced off. Somewhere in Arizona, the Colorado Rockies faced off against the San…
The USA needed a win over Colombia to keep their hopes alive of winning the World Baseball Classic again. Mike Trout was pure clutch with three hits and all three runs batted in while America’s bullpen – including Colorado Rockies’ closer Daniel Bard – stepped up. Undefeated Venezuela (4-0) is up next for Team USA. DNVR Rockies Podcast breaks down…

In less than a year, the Denver Broncos have put together a dream combination of Sean Payton and Russell Wilson. If the Colorado Rockies pulled off such a feat, who would they acquire? Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels and Theo Epstein – the curse-breaker – would have to be atop their list. What are the best combinations in…
After some good news regarding Todd Helton’s Hall of Fame candidacy, we launch into a conversation about the good, the bad and the ugly regarding the World Cup. Why is advancing technology so critical? How can MLB grow the game internationally? And why aren’t the stars promoting the game more? After Ezequiel Tovar’s rapid rise through minors, who’s next to…
Colorado had everything going in their favor on Monday night, namely a 5-1 early lead over the slumping Giants who didn’t arrive at their hotel until after 2 a.m. Alas, Chad Kuhl got Coors Field-ed and the seven run from the Rockies’ lineup wasn’t enough. How did it fall apart? What kind of infamous MLB debut did we just witness?…
The voice of the Colorado Rockies on AT&T SportsNet and host of his eponymously titled podcast, Drew Goodman, goes in depth on a myriad of baseball subjects: preparing for a broadcast, 2022 MLB Draft Pick Gabriel Hughes, Shohei Ohtani and the Rockies’ trade deadline dealings.

Los Angeles may not have been a better host this year than Denver in 2021, but the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby were electric as always. Is there a problem with Clayton Kershaw starting for the NL squad? Could C.J. Cron feasibly have won the ASG MVP Award? And how much did tickets cost for the worst seat in…
Germán Márquez, Ryan McMahon, Trevor Story, C.J. Cron and Brendan Rodgers all stood out in 2021 as player who provided a lot of joy to fans of the Colorado Rockies in 2021. Also, Larry Walker had his number retired and became the first member of the Colorado Rockies to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. Oh, and we hosted the…
A passing rain shower during batting practice were the only dark clouds on Tuesday for the 91st MLB All-Star Game won by the American League, 5-2. And while the three home runs hit during the affair seem paltry in comparison to the 309 hit during the previous night’s Home Run Derby, there was still traffic on the base paths and…...
Bang. Zoom. Straight to the moon! With 309 baseballs planted in various sections and tiers of Coors Field, slugged over a combined 25 miles in distance, New York Mets’ Pete Alonso came out on top in the single-elimination tournament. In doing so, he becomes only the third player to win consecutive Derbys, joining Ken Griffey Jr. (1998-99) and Yoenis Céspedes…...
Pull the plug. The 2021 Home Run Derby at Coors Field will not be using a humidor to store baseballs. And that might right a wrong as far as it concerns a certain Colorado Rockies’ slugger. When Trevor Story went down to one knee to swat the first of three home runs on September 5, 2018, it was recognized at…...
Robinson Cano hit a sharp ground ball to second base for the final out in the second inning in Anaheim to finish the day for Ubaldo Jiménez. Since that day in 2010, the Colorado Rockies have yet to be represented by another starting pitcher in the All-Star Game. Until now. On Sunday, while Germán Márquez was putting the finished touches…...
