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 …

The Rockies fell to 30 games below .500 after yesterday’s gut wrenching loss to the hated San Francisco Giants. With the team up 6-4 going into the eighth and Matt Belisle coming into the game and the bottom of the Giants punchless order most thought the game was over. But this is baseball and each …

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 …

All-Star games, in any sport, are nice in theory, but aren’t that great in reality. The NBA has been able to turn its All-Star game into a showcase of the league’s absurd athleticism, but that’s because of the unique contests that are held the night before the game. The actual game itself is basically an …

In many of the professional sports if a team appears unprepared the head coach, manager or whatever the elder leader of the team is called in that sport, is typically held accountable. If a defensive back is not hustling on a play and completely misses a coverage the onus is on the player, but as …

The Rockies starting pitching is terrible. However, they aren’t the worst in baseball. That distinguished honor currently belongs to the woeful Twins. Regardless, being in the same league as the Twins in anything is a really, really bad sign. The Rockies pitching problems will not be going away any time soon. Sure, they have some …

In the course of the Rockies season thus far, my naked eye told me that Carlos Gonzalez appeared to take a walk in several situations that profiled as typical aggressive CarGo at bats. Could it be? Is the free swinging Carlos Gonzalez developing plate discipline? Well no. Actually yes. Sort of. Carlos has 12 walks …

Don’t look now, Carlos Gonzalez es caliente! Carlos Gonzalez es en fuego! The Rockies’ star left fielder has caught fire as of late, helping his team to three victories in six games and get back to .500 at 12-12 overall. Wednesday afternoon, with the Rockies down 1-0 in the fourth, CarGo went deep to tie …

The first month of the baseball season is already past us. The Rockies are 4.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the National League West and the team’s first month was average (11-11 record) mostly due to very average (to below average) pitching. All too often the starting pitcher leaves the …

Sometimes you just need to sit back and thoroughly read a box score. Last night’s game certainly provided a lovely box score, offensively, for the Rockies. AB R H RBI HR BB K SB LOB M. Scutaro 2b 5 4 4 0 0 1 0 0 1 J. Herrera 3b 4 3 1 1 …
