Leadership, Accountability, and the Buck Showalter Theory

by Logan Burdine

The baseball season is a 162 game marathon that unfolds at a snail’s pace. Currently, the Rockies are 4-5. Even if this season goes spectacularly well, we are likely to see worse nine game stretches than 4-5. Certainly things could be better, but they could also be much worse. Nevertheless, the start of the season …

When the Rockies first traded Ubaldo, I was among those that were very much against it. I felt like he still had the skill set to be the successful pitcher he was in 2009 and the first half of 2010. This may come as a shocker, but I was wrong – very, very wrong. What …

Rockies’ response to Alex White’s DUI is troubling

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know by now that Rockies’ starting pitcher Alex White was arrested for DUI in Scottsdale on Saturday night. I’m not here to destroy White over this. People make mistakes. I think he’s probably a decent human being. However, before we go much further, let’s get one …

At times, the blind optimism of Spring Training can be a bit much. Certainly, it’s an exciting time because baseball really is just around the corner. However, we often get carried away with best case scenarios and focusing on things that ultimately won’t matter very much. Every player came into camp in the best shape …

Is Fowler finally ready to take the next step?

Every year at this time, we hear about how Player X went through a revamped offseason routine and is in the best shape of his life. There is at least one of these players on every team in baseball. Most of the time, it means absolutely nothing, just an opportunity for the beat writers to …

Tracy's lifetime managerial appointment may not be as long-term as some seem to think

“Basically what I am saying is that I should never have this conversation with you again. To say it extends just beyond 2013 would not do justice to Jim. It could be until he’s using a cane and having trouble getting onto the field. Quite honestly, it can be for whatever number of years Jim …

Another player finds himself in O’Dowd’s crosshairs

Categories:

News

by Logan Burdine

According to Baseball Reference, in 2011, Jhoulys Chacin had the fifth best season ever by a Rockies’ pitcher. Also according to BR, Chacin’s career WAR already ranks 10th in franchise history, which is pretty amazing considering he’s just 24 and only has 53 career starts under his belt. For those that tend to favor more …

This could be you. Not Zimmer though. None of us could ever be Zim.

As I’m sure everyone is well aware, baseball season is just around the corner. Last season was Blake Street Bulletin’s inaugural season and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it went. Well, it would’ve been better if the Rox hadn’t finished 16 games under .500, but working with ESPN and the SweetSpot was a …

On Monday, our esteemed commander-in-chief at the SweetSpot, David Schoenfield, declared the Rockies to be the hardest team to predict for the upcoming season. I completely agree. I have made no secret of the fact that I don’t particularly like the policy behind the decisions that have been made this off-season. I don’t think chalking …
