abull and bear

The Rockies closed the month by taking two of three from the new-look Dodgers and ensured that August would be the first winning month of the season.  Surprisingly, the Rockies have played well without any real contribution from Carlos Gonzalez who has a triple slash line of .107/.242/.214 over the last 14 days.  The relatively …

The Rockies continued their improved play by splitting a 4 game series with the Miami Marlins and then sweeping the Mets in New York.  The 13 wins so far in August make this the best month for the Rockies and are a welcome respite from the disastrous months of June (9-18) and July (7-17).  Injuries …

The Rockies are in the midst of one of the best stretches of the season with a 4 game winning streak and 7 wins in their last 10 games. The 8 wins already in August has already surpassed July’s total (7) and even featured back to back wins for the starting pitchers. Much of the …

His frustration has finally become visable.

The Rockies closed July with a 7-17 record for the month and on pace for 102 losses.  The end of July saw the Rockies make several changes, both personnel-wise and in the front office.  Jeremy Guthrie and Marco Scutaro were traded away, but that was the extent of Dealin’ Dan’s efforts.  The front office changes …

This week, the Rockies traveled to San Diego and Arizona and managed to win a game at each stop, going 2-4.  The end of July brings the trade deadline and MLB has seen several big moves already with Hanley Ramirez joining the Dodgers, Ichiro going to the Yankees, and Cole Hamels inking a $140 million …

3 Up – 3 Down: Some manager that I used to know

hurdle

The Rockies’ struggles continued after the All Star break, going just 2-4 at 20th and Blake against the two Pennsylvania clubs. Clint Hurdle returned to Coors Field as the manager of the upstart Pirates and his presence served as a symbolic juxtaposition of the fortunes of the two franchises: the on-the-rise Pirates and the don’t-have-a-clue …

State Farm Home Run Derby

The Rockies took 2 out of 3 against the Washington Nationals before MLB took a break for the All Star Game festivities in Kansas City.  The Rockies lone representative, CarGo, participated in both the home run derby and started the All Star game at DH.  Unfortunately, his underwhelming performance (4 homers and a first round …

The one and only good moment from Toyota Talk

This week was the official halfway point of the 2012 season and the Rockies (31-51) are neck and neck with the Cubs for the dubious distinction of the worst team in baseball.  Before the season began, 2012 was designated “The Year of the Fan” by Rockies management and the team has responded by putting forth …

The Rockies closed the last full week of June with a respectable 3-4 performance against two of the better teams in MLB: Texas and Washington. Pitching has dominated the headlines with the continuation of the 4 man rotation experiment and the reassignment of pitching coach Bob Apodaca to the front office. On Wednesday, Dan O’Dowd …

MLB: Colorado Rockies at Texas Rangers

The Rockies continued their poor play, finishing the week at 2-4 on the road against Detroit and Philadelphia including a walk-off loss on a throwing error.  In an attempt to improve the starting pitching without any actual personnel or coaching moves, the Rockies made a curious change in strategy by sending Jeremy Guthrie to the …
