Tyler Matzek showed great growth on Monday night in his win. When DJ LeMahieu laced a Jake Peavy fastball to left field with two outs in the top of the 7th inning, it looked like it might be the worst thing for the Colorado Rockies chances of winning in what ended up a 3-2 win for the Rockies. That might…...
Walt Weiss needs to put his foot down. At some point, the question has to be asked, why do the Colorado Rockies insist on employing a strategy that has been nothing short of a failure? That was the case again on Tuesday night, as Rockies rookie Tyler Matzek had a very good outing. Through 6-2/3 innings of one-run baseball, Matzek…...
The Rockies never expected Blackmon to contribute the way he has. It was an outcome that surprised no one. For the second straight night, and for the seemingly 100th time in a miserable season for the Colorado Rockies, a starting pitcher looked like a Cy Young candidate against their makeshift lineup. On Saturday night it was Rick Porcello’s chance to…...
Arenado responded well to his benching the previous night. BY: ZACH MARBURGER Nolan Arenado told reporters before yesterday’s game he was embarrassed by his lack of hustle in the Rockies’ win over the Pirates Friday. Saturday, he jogged out of the batter’s box again. Everything worked out ok this time, because he kept jogging all the way home. Arenado’s solo…...
Jorge De La Rosa may be on the move. Jorge De La Rosa may have made his last start in a Colorado Rockies uniform. If that is the case, it was one of his many great ones in purple pinstripes. As trade rumors heat up, and the Rockies spiraling out of the race, De La Rosa is quickly becoming one…...
Years of overuse has finally caught up to Matt Belisle. **EDITORS NOTE: Cameron Parsons completes his Rockies Review coverage filling in for David Martin. BY: CAMERON PARSONS Another strong pitching performance, this one by Tyler Matzek, was wasted by the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Each game of the three game set against the Pirates, was very much the same. The…...
The All Star break can’t come soon enough for the Rockies. The bell is about to ring on the first half of the season for the Colorado Rockies. This has been a heated week for the Rockies. It has been so heated, that the results on the field have been largely ignored. The sparring between fans and owner Dick Monfort…...
Tyler Matzek was better than his line suggested on Monday. Apparently Major League Baseball likes to torture Colorado Rockies fans. Down 6-1 with no chance to catch up to the lowly San Diego Padres at Coors Field on Monday, the rains came down and it looked like fans might be spared the torture of watching the final two innings of…...
If the Colorado Rockies are having a tough season, don’t tell Jorge De La Rosa. The lefty picked up his eighth win of the season on Sunday, nailing down a win after his offense gave him a three run cushion in the 1st inning. Jorge De La Rosa always gives the Rockies a fighting chance. For De La Rosa, the…...
Tyler Matzek was great on Friday night for the Rockies in a loss. There is no need to rehash the clown baseball that took place on Friday night in Milwaukee. The game can be summarized in a quick statement. The ineptitude of the Colorado Rockies knows no limit. This team’s struggles start at the top and leak all the way…...
Corey Dickerson has been a bright spot in 2014. Good news, Colorado Rockies fans, spring training is only 235 days away! That statement is sarcastic and condescending, but this is the time of year when the unrealistic Rockies fans come out. It is the time when fans point to the fact that the Rockies, despite their struggles, are still just…...
Plenty to be excited about for Rockies fans with Matzek. It couldn’t last forever. The Colorado Rockies came into Monday night’s game riding a five game winning streak. The streak started with Tyler Matzek’s Major League debut last Wednesday when the rookie pitched into the 8th inning, propelling the Rockies to a victory. After Matzek’s performance, the Rockies took the…...
Brandon Barnes hit the game winning homer, an inside-the-park job. The Colorado Rockies have forgotten that they are on the road. With the Rockies down a run with one out to go, Brandon Barnes punched a Sergio Romo pitch to center field with the tying run on first base. When Angel Pagan badly misplayed the ball, trying to catch it…...
Walt Weiss showed emotion on Thursday. Thank you, Walt. During his first full season, one of the criticisms of Colorado Rockies manager Walt Weiss was that he never got tossed from a game. In fact, in situations where he needed to show some emotion and kick some dirt, or even get in front of a star player, Weiss was nowhere…...
Tyler Matzek was phenomenal in his Major League debut. It’s been a long, windy road for Tyler Matzek. The former No.1 draft pick of the Colorado Rockies way back in 2009 was once thought to be the savior of the franchise. He was going to be the first ace that the Rockies developed. It was a shock that Matzek dropped…...
Time for Bill Geivett to shake things up for the Rockies. It is going to take a minor miracle for the Colorado Rockies to make the playoffs. One bad road trip and suddenly a fan base that was injected with optimism is jumping from the bandwagon as if it is filling up with smoke and flames. When things go bad…...
It may be time for the Rockies to give Tyler Matzek his shot. I make a habit to not glean too much from the standings until Memorial Day. For all intents and purposes, it really isn’t worth the time. It might be fun to watch how a certain team is doing, but to make arguments for or against a team’s…...
Franklin Morales isn’t the solution for the Rockies rotation. If the Colorado Rockies are going to make a playoff run in 2014, Franklin Morales can’t be a part of their starting rotation. It is easy to complain about a fifth starter. Every team in baseball would like to improve the back end of their starting rotation. There is a reason…...
The Rockies issues run deeper than the losses on the field. One thing is clear. The Colorado Rockies pitching struggles have nothing to do with Coors Field. As the club dropped another game, losing 9-3 to the St. Louis Cardinals, they got to see what a good looking baseball team looks like. They got to see a team that doesn’t…...
The Major League draft is a big deal for the Colorado Rockies. On Monday, with the 26th overall pick, the Rockies selected Kyle Parker, an outfielder from Clemson University. Parker was a multi-sport athlete at Clemson, where he was the football team’s starting quarterback.The 6’1″ 210 lbs right hander is originally from Jacksonville, FL. Ever since the failed free agent…...
