In the midst of a five game losing streak and a series that has been heavily reliant on the bullpen, the Rockies have made a couple of changes to their roster. Hawkins placed on DL for Rox, Oberg recalled #rockies — Adam Kinney (@AdamRKinney) April 22, 2015 Hawkins is headed to the DL with a biceps injury and the…...
Please pardon the overreacting Colorado Rockies fans. Sure, the Rockies 5-4 victory in 10 innings only gave them three wins on the season. There are 159 of these games to go. However, faulting a Rockies fan for getting excited about the sweep is like making fun of a guy roaming the desert for months who gets excited about his first…...
In preparation for trimming the roster down to 25 players before Sunday’s deadline, the Rockies have opted for other talent over some of their key players from 2014. Colorado has sent both LHP Rex Brothers and OF Brandon Barnes to the minors. Brothers has long been thought to be the closer of the future for the Rockies, but struggled in…...
Back in October, fans of the Colorado Rockies rejoiced. Dan O’Dowd and Bill Geivett were out. The misery was over. That excitement was tempered as quickly as it ignited when the Rockies announced that there would be no national search for a new general manager, as most fans would have anticipated. Instead, the Rockies already had a new general manager.…...
The Colorado Rockies as a franchise are known for one thing; playing at altitude. Those outside the Mile High City view Coors Field as a great place to hit, but a terrible place to pitch. For years, the Rockies have been built to suit that environment. With the exception of a handful of pitchers, the Rockies model was always to…...
The Colorado Rockies announced yesterday 24 non-roster players that will be in Scottsdale for Spring Training this year. #Rockies release their 24 non-roster invitees to Spring Training. Pitchers & Catchers report in 9 days! pic.twitter.com/JdTCqK8W2V — Colorado Rockies (@Rockies) February 10, 2015 A lot of no name players we’ll probably wont hear from again this year but there are a…...
Wilin Rosario has the power to be a big impact bat. What might have been. That is the phrase that fans of the Colorado Rockies have been saying all season long when it comes to Wilin Rosario. Throughout the course of the season, the catcher has proven to be yet another disappointment in a long line of disappointing catching prospects…...
Dick Monfort needs to feel the heat all winter long. When Wilin Rosario grounded out to shortstop to end the game and the Colorado Rockies late rally on Tuesday night, something became official that was bound to happen for months. The Rockies were officially eliminated from playoff contention. Most would have believed that the club was eliminated sometime back in…...
Corey Dickerson has been the lone bright spot. Any married man knows, read one Nicholas Sparks book and you’ve read them all. The Colorado Rockies and Nicholas Sparks have something in common. Change the names, adjust the storyline ever-so-slightly, change the location, and there is a new book to write, or a new game in which to tell the same…...
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…...
The Rockies deserved to lose on Wednesday night. Blame the bullpen, blame the lineup, blame the defense, blame the manager. Take your pick, they are all guilty and responsible for the Colorado Rockies walk-off loss to the Phillies on Wednesday night. As bad as the whole team played on Wednesday night, it is amazing that the Rockies were even in…...
Jorge De La Rosa shined again for the Rockies on Tuesday. Ask yourself a serious question. Where would the Colorado Rockies be without Jorge De La Rosa? Don’t look now, but after a tough stretch to start the season, De La Rosa is now 6-3. He picked up another win on Tuesday night in Philadelphia after going six innings and…...
The Rockies need a better plate approach from Rosario and others. The Colorado Rockies went 4-2 on their six-game homestand. They had a chance to sweep both series. For this club, that is a huge success. The problem is, the Rockies still gave away two games. What if the Rockies went into their six-game road trip after going 5-1 on…...
Jorge De La Rosa returned to form on Friday night. 0-for-6 with two walks and three strikeouts. When Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki combine for those numbers, it usually doesn’t result in a win for the Colorado Rockies. On Monday night at Coors Field, not only did the Rockies win without the help of their two sluggers, they won in…...
Jorge De La Rosa looked great until the 5th inning. Thud. If the Colorado Rockies were hoping that Opening Day would be a way to reel their fan base back in with a team fun of guys who hustle, who play with heart and demand to win, they might want a do-over. Monday night’s game was sloppy. The Rockies looked…...
Opening Day is a time for excitement. Merry Christmas, baseball fans! The Colorado Rockies open their season in Miami against the Marlins on Monday night. They have their ace, Jorge De La Rosa on the mound, facing the reigning Rookie of the Year in the National League, Jose Fernandez. Rockies fans had every reason to by cynical this winter. After…...
Time for changes in Colorado. Who isn’t injured for the Colorado Rockies. In Todd Helton’s final week in the big leagues, the Rockies look like they are trying to give him a reminder of what he dealt with the majority of his career. Saturday night was a flashback to the 2005 team dubbed “Todd and the Toddlers.” Jorge De La…...
Wilin Rosario has the talent to lead the Rockies at the plate. It was fitting. The day that Todd Helton told the Colorado media and fans formally that he was retiring, he led the way to victory. However, it wasn’t through a walk-off home run, it wasn’t the game winning hit. Helton wasn’t the hero on Monday night at Coors…...
Nolan Arenado took a phenomenal at-bat on Friday. (Getty Images) Six runs in a road game? Most thought the Colorado Rockies would score six runs on the entire 10-game road trip. The Rockies belted four home runs on Friday night in a 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Juan Nicasio threw six strong innings, giving up just two runs. He…...
Jeff Manship was asked to make another start for the Rockies. Jeff Manship was given an opportunity to pitch in an emergency situation last Thursday in New York. He pitched five decent innings, enough to give the Colorado Rockies confidence to let him get another start. Or was it because the Rockies had no option? Either way, the Rockies had…...
