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 …

There was a discussion on Twitter today between myself and David Martin of Rockies Review (@RockiesReview). David believed that Jhoulys Chacin was flustered, rushed his pitches and even goes so far as to say he tips his pitches (I would like to read some proof of that…what is he doing to tip? Or is that …

This past week MLB Network counted down its list of the “Top 100 Players Right Now”. Always good for creating arguments.

Over the next week I will preview the 2012 season for the Rockies position by position.

Nearly 20 years ago the Rockies could do no wrong. If the team lost 14-20 the stands would still be full the next day. Mile High was packed with rabid fans and a few years later when Coors Field opened up the franchise had to add a third deck to the right field bleachers to …

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 …
