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 …

Here we are with a week left in April and fans are starting to ask for Tyler Colvin in centerfield over Dexter Fowler already. I have seen both Patrick Saunders and Troy Renck answer questions on Twitter about Colvin replacing Fowler. Last year Dex couldn’t catch a break with Jim Tracy and now some of …

The internet is delightful. In fact it is how I watch my beloved Rockies from out of state. The internet is also prone to making us react more quickly and more rashly than we would otherwise. We are all guilty of this. If a baseball fan was to gauge how a team was doing based …

Last night during the Rockies game Troy Tulowitzki crushed a bomb…BOMB…to left center field. His blast landed on the railroad tracks in Minute Maid park and every time I see a home run land there I always think of Albert Pujols hitting his moon shot to about the same location against Brad Lidge in the …

There isn’t a lot anyone can do with Spring Training stats. The sample size is very small and the competition isn’t the same. Many times batters are facing pitchers who will most certainly start the regular season in the minor leagues and probably in the low levels. Often times pitchers early in the spring are …

Every year at this time, we hear about how Player X went through a revamped offseason routine and is in the best shape of his life. There is at least one of these players on every team in baseball. Most of the time, it means absolutely nothing, just an opportunity for the beat writers to …

Over the next week I will preview the 2012 season for the Rockies position by position. There have been some fan favorites jettisoned from the team and some new faces (albeit longer in the tooth) who have jumped on board. Today we talk outfield Previous: Catcher, first base, second base, third base, shortstop Players lost: …

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 …
