Fire Jim Tracy, Jonathan Sanchez, Rockies

This is my summary of last night’s performance by Jonathan Sanchez, in pictures. In the first inning, this was my reaction: Two ground balls and a strikeout! This is the Jonathan Sanchez from 2010!! As the second inning started, I was like:

guth

The Rockies traded away Jeremy Guthrie today to the Kansas City Royals in return for Jonathan Sanchez. (Just to add some kindling to the fire – if there is even a small burn – how come Troy Renck hasn’t been breaking these stories? Are the Rockies not happy with their main beat reporter telling the …

MLB: AUG 24 Braves at Rockies

Last night I went to the Rockies game with my family for my cousins birthday. We met at Sports Column, as usual, to have drinks and dinner before the game. In year’s past I made it a point to be in my seat for the first pitch, but after the way 2011 ended and the …

Baseball skills competition – we need it!

Is Drew Stubbs baseball's fastest man? Prove it!

Hockey has a great skills competition before their All-Star Game, so does basketball. I remember back in the day watching guys like Mark Gastineau lifting weights in the sand prior to the NFL Pro Bowl or Darrell Greene winning the Fastest Man competition. How about those old school NBA games based solely on the dunk …

Coming out of the All-Star break it is easy to forget that the Rockies returned to action this weekend. The team was 19 games under .500 and tied with the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros with the fewest wins in baseball after the first half. Not a lot to root for. But maybe that wasn’t …

dex

I can’t believe baseball actually thought it was a good idea to have TWO off days after the All-Star Game. One, it ruins the trivia question “what day of the year has no games being played among the four major sports?” (it now has to ask which two days…) and two it just ruins my …

Juan Nicasio done for season…just keeps getting worse

by Travis Lay

This is an awful picture but it seems to represent the Rockies season so well

Juan Nicasio was in the midst of a throwing program and the team was beginning to formulate a time table for his return to the team…and then it was discovered he has fluid buildup in his knee and required surgery. He injured his knee about a month ago and didn’t need surgery, just rest, but …

75 pitch limit

Categories:

Uncategorized

by Travis Lay

Friedrich did his job and lasted to the 5th to try and get a "W" but thanks to the 75 pitch limit Guthrie lost the game for him

I know, I know, there has been a ton written about this pitch limit thing already but I think these past two games are the perfect example of what is wrong with this pitch count limit. I went back a little over a week to June 19th and looked at how often a starting pitcher …

CarGo

Not sure if you follow the Rockies on Facebook, but you probably do if you’re reading this blog. If you do you have seen these two pictures over the past two days. First, yesterday this picture was posted: Accompanying the picture was this description: In the player parking lot yesterday, CarGo strikes a pose inside …

I fill in my All-Star ballot based on my gut

Categories:

by Travis Lay

Votto is clearly the NL's best first baseman

For those that know me they know my gut has gotten smaller over the past 18 months, but I still definitely have a gut. For some reason it just dawned on me that the All-Star game is like two weeks away and I have yet to fill out one All-Star ballot. I figured I would …
