Life has gotten in the way of my writing lately. I will be leaving the company I have worked for since 2002 early next month and begin a new job with a new company shortly thereafter. This has led to lots of time spent away from the computer and enjoying the outdoors before I start …

Duh. The title of this piece isn’t exactly ground breaking news: the Rockies pitching is atrocious. How bad is it? Who would most fans say are the Rockies best pitchers, right now? Or at least who has been the best year to date? I would venture to say that many fans would say Jamie Moyer …

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 …

This past Saturday, Drew Pomeranz took the mound to make his second start of the season for the Rockies.

Leading up to the Rockies first game of the season on Thursday we will publish an article reviewing the four major parts of the team: infield, outfield, starting rotation and bullpen. We rate each group on a …

I have written previously here about what the future of the Rockies looks like and what needs to go well for the Rockies to compete. In an overall sense, the Rockies need their young pitching to become good. If Chacin, Nicasio, Pomeranz, White, Chatwood, Matzek, Friedrich, and Anderson do not develop then the Rockies franchise …

Another sunny day in Phoenix. Another day in the low 80′s. Another day in which the water parks and public pools are closed because it is “winter” time. Another day that leaves me confused as to why I don’t live here. I really need to visit in July to remind myself why. Today I followed …

Spring training beckons every year with new excitement for most every team (sorry Astros). Now that the Rockies are now full swing into spring training it is time to look at just what the future holds for this franchise. This is especially timely given that last year the Rockies traded the only pitcher in franchise …
