troy-tulowitzki

Yesterday was a brutal game for the Rockies. The team lost the game and more importantly Carlos Gonzalez left the game early after being hit by a foul ball, then Dexter Fowler left after being hit by a pitch and if that wasn’t enough Troy Tulowitzki left the game late after diving for a baseball. …

The Pacheco Predicament

Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a lot of people getting down on Jordan Pacheco. The majority of the complaints focus on his defense – one comment going so far as to call him a disaster at third base – while other complaints center around his relative lack of power hitting, especially since third …

Will the Rockies change in 2012?
