3 Up 3 Down:On the Road Again

JC

The Rockies finished their snowy home stand with a tidy 6-3 mark capped by a thrilling extra inning win over the MLB leading Braves. Although the Rockies managed to hold on to first place in the NL West, the week was not without adversity: Jeff Francis continued his transformation into the baby-faced Jamie Moyer, Jon …

“Crafty” Rockies pitchers toss BP in the cold

Francis1

Yesterday I was stuck listening to the Rockies games on the radio or watching on MLB At Bat or MLB Gameday. Work interfered with the first game and then my kid got in the way of the second game. Both semi-decent excuses for not watching, right? Ya, I don’t think so either. I’ll do better …

Major League?

“Maybe these guys ain’t so fu**in’ bad.” That’s the thought running through my head, as well as the rest of the Rockies’ fans. When they started off 5-1, it was easy to dismiss considering they had played a mediocre team in Milwaukee and a much worse team in San Diego. After the Giants took the …

Some thoughts on the Rockies

I have a bunch of random thoughts flowing through my head and not sure each one deserves its own post. So here are a few things related to baseball and the Rockies….I am not sure how I can express how badly I cannot wait for April to arrive. Spring officially starts tomorrow and my family …

3 Up 3 Down: Catching up with a (not so) wild offseason

Dexter Fowler

The offseason is officially over (and Bronco mania has subsided), which means that we can begin to look forward to 2013 and grasp for reasons to believe it will be better than the disaster of 2012 – the eternal optimism of spring training. While other teams like the Indians and Royals made big moves to …

Which Rockies are ownable in fantasy?

Pacheco's value ties directly to where he has eligibility

I don’t know about you, but I am starting to get that “kid on Christmas Eve” feeling. It is getting sooo close to pitchers and catchers reporting that the anticipation is building. Along with the awesomeness of baseball returning this also means fantasy baseball is right around the corner. So which Rockies players are ownable …

Can the Rockies be better in 2013 without making any roster changes?

If this guy is back and healthy for 160 games in '13 the Rockies will be better.

Whoa! What is this?! A post on Blake Street Bulletin. Say it ain’t so! And one from Travis?? Does he even still blog about baseball? The fever is starting to catch. I want baseball. Last season was so abysmal I just needed some time off from writing about the Rockies. Apparently about four months of …

Fantasy world: if the Rockies made the playoffs…

2007 was five years ago already.

With the new playoff format and the one game Wild Card game how would you fill out the Rockies lineup card? This is a fantasy land and the Rox made the playoffs AND are at home. You somehow got access to fill out the Rockies lineup…what does it look like? Assuming rest is OK and …

3 Up – 3 Down: It’s a Mad (Pitching) World

Stephen-Strasburg-23953

**Due to a bad, bad, man (think Seinfeld) this has not been posted in a timely manner. (Which was written before Francis’ performance last night – see #2 below.) The editor apologizes, deeply, to the boys at The View from 132 for the delay. The editor will now find someway to punish himself…probably by watching …

Is the Rockies pitching getting better?

roxx-large

**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 …
