This fun crossover with Paul Holden of Locked On Rockies covers a breadth of topics relating to the Denver Nine: the 5th spot in the rotation, the need for bullpen support, the loss of Jon Gray and whether Kris Bryant would be a better option than Trevor Story for the 2022 roster. And we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the…
Apparently Wilton Lopez was a better 7th inning option than Chacin. 97 pitches. That was all Colorado Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin was allowed to throw on Tuesday night in San Diego. Despite giving up just one run on five hits through six innings, Chacin was done after the 6th. The reason was the same as it has been for the…...
Walt Weiss is figuring out how difficult a 162 game schedule is. Blake Street Bullies? After watching the Colorado Rockies score a grand total of two runs in three games against a team that leads the division that the Rockies are vying for, the title that manager Walt Weiss dubbed his team during spring training seems like an absolute joke.…...
Tyler Colvin stated his case on Tuesday night. Apparently Tyler Colvin knows how to make his case better than the guy he was traded for, Ian Stewart. The Colorado Rockies outfielder, called up over the weekend after being optioned to Triple-A after a poor spring training, showed that he believes he should be at the big league level. On a…...
Sorry Jeff, it’s time for the Rockies to say goodbye. The Colorado Rockies saw their chances at tying the game in the 9th inning on Saturday fade away with one quick grab by Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko. Tyler Colvin, making his 2013 debut after a rough spring training landed him in Triple-A, hit a Luke Gregerson pitch as hard…...
Chris Nelson had the game winning hit for the Rockies. It came down to the last series of the season, but the Colorado Rockies have avoided their first 100-loss season in franchise history. On Monday night, after the Rockies had battled back against Rookie of the Year candidate Wade Miley, Rafael Betancourt came in to finish off the Diamondbacks and…...
The Rockies look like they are going to avoid 100 losses. There are only two teams in all of Major League Baseball that can say they haven’t done it yet. The Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Angels are the two franchises who have never lost 100 games in a season. In July, it looked like the Angels would be…...
The Rockies continue to play well, but the 75 pitch limit remains. These Colorado Rockies are looking more like a good team than a team that was on a collision course with 100 loses less than two weeks ago. On Thursday afternoon in New York, the Rockies completed a four-game sweep of the Mets, their second in as many years.…...
Rosario has been a bright spot. The Colorado Rockies, the team that went into August as just a few games better than the lowly Houston Astros has suddenly found their stride. The Rockies took their third straight game from the New York Mets 5-2 on Wednesday night. Colorado, with the win, has won six of their last nine games on…...
Tyler Colvin has been a great addition to the Rockies. As much heat as Dan O’Dowd takes, there is one thing that is certain. His trade of Ian Stewart and Casey Weathers to the Chicago Cubs for Tyler Colvin and DJ LeMahieu was a huge win for the Colorado Rockies. On Monday night, the Rockies got another huge game from…...
Rosario is part of a group of Rockies that are fun to watch. It was the “other” game in Denver on Saturday night. It is sad when the Colorado Rockies, two years removed from a chance to steal the show in Colorado, are an afterthought compared to a Broncos preseason game, one in which the starters were done by half…...
EY Jr continues his impressive play. This Colorado Rockies team is the only team in baseball that gets a 4-0 lead and it feels like they are going to need three or four more runs to win the game. The Rockies walked off to sweep their second series of the season, winning 7-6 on a 2-run Tyler Colvin double. As…...
Eric Young, Jr. has refused to be ignored in 2012. Despite a heart-wrenching loss for the Colorado Rockies on Sunday in San Francisco, a game in which the Rockies dropped 9-6 after clawing back from a 3-0 deficit, the club is starting to see a silver lining to a dreary season. That silver lining is coming in the form of…...
The Rockies should trade Jeff Francis. The Colorado Rockies did on Wednesday night what they seem to do only when Jeff Francis takes the mound. They won. Wednesday night’s game was the latest strong performance from Francis, who was the butt of many jokes when he was re-acquired by the Rockies in June. In the face of his doubters, all…...
Is Dan O’Dowd’s theory backfiring on his young pitchers? Dan O’Dowd’s theory may be dismantling right in front of him. On Tuesday night at Coors Field, Christian Friedrich pitched well enough to keep his team in the game–until the 5th inning. In the fifth frame, the rookie lefty had everything set up in his favor. He was facing the bottom…...
It doesn’t get much better for Josh Rutledge. For Josh Rutledge, it doesn’t get any better. Two days ago the 23-year-old was in the starting lineup for the Double-A Tulsa Drillers. After the 4th inning he was removed from the game and told that he had been called up, not called up to Triple-A, called up to the big league…...
Wilin Rosario has been a bright spot for the Rockies in 2012. In a way, the home run derby and the All-Star game was very fitting for Colorado Rockies fans. The Rockies had a participant in each in the form of Carlos Gonzalez, but he made little impact while the guys around him put on the real show. It was…...
Drew Pomeranz was incredible on Friday night. There is no way that this Colorado Rockies team should lose 100 baseball games. Rockies fans got a break from negativity on Friday night as the team put on an exhibit showing why they should be closer to the top of the standings than the bottom. The spotlight for Friday night’s game was…...
The Rockies should take whatever they can get for Guthrie. The Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Angels are the only two franchises who have never lost 100 games in a season. That might change if the Rockies keep the same pace in the second half that they have been on in the first. Dropping the Independence Day game 4-1…...
Jeff Francis has been great in his past four starts. Three hours before game time, Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy told the media that he was relaxing the 75-pitch limit for his starting pitchers. Five innings in, and everything Tracy had said went out the window. Despite another phenomenal outing by Jeff Francis, the Rockies failed to let conventional wisdom…...
