**This was written before Monday night’s game against the Giants. Some stats below might not be totally accurate. Is it just me or does it seem like the Rockies pitching has been a lot better over the past month or maybe even six weeks? It could just be recent memory since the team has allowed …

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 …

As I am watching the Cubs @ Diamondbacks game on MLBN I see on the scroll that Franklin Morales made another start for the Red Sox today and his stat line looked pretty sharp. I also saw Brian Fuentes pitching to Melky Cabrera on my CBS Fantasy stats page and I got to wondering how …

Too many “baseball” people think Moneyball and Athletics GM Billy Beane were all about on-base percentage and once everyone figured out what OBP was Beane and the A’s no longer had a leg up on the rest of baseball. Really, Moneyball and Beane and other smart General Managers around baseball are looking for market inefficiencies; …

Let me summarize the 2011 season for the Colorado Rockies: disappointing, horrendous, embarrassing, laughable and Troy Tulowitzki is by far the best shortstop in baseball. Some of the issues with the Rockies last year was out of their control; Jorge De La Rosa’s injury early in the season. A major part of the Rockies losing …

Finally, the Rockies have put us out of our misery by moving Aaron Cook to the bullpen. It’s pretty much guaranteed that Cook is done in Colorado. The Rox have an $11 million team option on Cook and only a team with brainsick management would be willing to pick that one up. Cook had a …

While watching the game and keeping up with baseball in general last night I had a few thoughts run through my head. Not all of these thoughts are clean enough for any sort of public forum and even some of my thoughts relate to baseball. None of them are deep enough for me to justify …

From ESPN Stats: “Rockies have lost 16 straight games on Sundays. Now tied with 1927-28 and 1960 Phillies for the longest losing streak on Sundays since 1900.” This is obviously just “one of those things” that happens in baseball. I don’t think anyone can really explain it. There are the facts about how high the …

Here’s a thought: the Rockies might be forced to resign Aaron Cook in the upcoming offseason. Before the season started I thought the Rockies had a very deep rotation. Ubaldo Jimenez and Jorge De La Rosa were the 1-2 punch and now one is no longer with the team and the second might not be …

Where has THAT been? Seven innings in less than 100 pitches (60% of which were strikes) with only eight base runners allowed and zero runs. Zero. This is the Aaron Cook that the Rockies were hoping they would get back in February. I don’t believe anyone within the Rockies organization thought they might get a …
