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 …

First Impressions

20130306_085726_0308_deportes

Editor’s note. This was sent into our Supreme Master last week, but our Supreme Master was off vacationing in Maui! Why isn’t he watching every pitch of every Rockies Spring Training game? I asked the same question and all I got in return was some sort of Corona induced psycho babble. In any case, we …

I’m sold: start Arenado on Opening Day

Arenado

Nolan Arenado has come out swinging in Spring Training, literally, he hasn’t taken a walk yet but he does have three bombs. For a kid who had a down year and some questioned his mental preparedness he has come out swinging to start Spring Training in an effort to get a strong look and make …

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 …

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 …

The Pacheco Predicament

Jordan Pacheco

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 …

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 …

helton

The Rockies are in the midst of one of the best stretches of the season with a 4 game winning streak and 7 wins in their last 10 games. The 8 wins already in August has already surpassed July’s total (7) and even featured back to back wins for the starting pitchers. Much of the …

AyvxkfkCIAATikB

It has been a tough season for the Rockies and for Rockies fans. MLB Network flashed a graphic last night showing the team’s with the worst record since June 19th and he Rockies were tied for the worst record in that time frame. Only the Houston Astros have a worse winning percentage for the entire …

The Rockies need to hustle

What is Pacheco looking at? He should have his head down and running hard.

This is going to counter what I wrote a few days ago when I tried to defend Jim Tracy. In that piece I said the guys have to be accountable for their play on the field and Tracy cannot be held accountable for poor effort. As pointed out by many of our astute readers the …
