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 …

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 …

Juan Nicasio done for season…just keeps getting worse

This is an awful picture but it seems to represent the Rockies season so well

Juan Nicasio was in the midst of a throwing program and the team was beginning to formulate a time table for his return to the team…and then it was discovered he has fluid buildup in his knee and required surgery. He injured his knee about a month ago and didn’t need surgery, just rest, but …

10 doom and gloom stats

Time for the Scutaro experiement to end.

Reading Blake Street Bulletin is getting depressing. Writing about the Rockies is getting depressing. But I try to think of something positive to write every day and struggle to come up with anything that I could even put a tiny bit of meat on – I’m talking a chicken wing from KFC after I got …

3 Up – 3 Down: Looking back on the first month

Guillermo moscoso

The first month of the season has been a roller coaster ride for Rockies fans,but the team managed to enter May with a .500 record.  Jeremy Guthrie is the first player to go down with an injury and JhoulysChacin was demoted, so the starting pitching depth will be tested.  Here, we discuss Guthrie’s replacement, evaluate …

The Rockies pitching; worse than we thought

A site seen too early in recent Rockies games

Going into the season most people were worried about the Rockies pitching. Those with half a brain new that Jeremy Guthrie was not an “ace”, not in the true sense of the word. Guys like Dan O’Dowd, George Frazier, Jeff Huson and anyone else who looks solely at wins, losses and ERA for a pitcher …

What the Rockies need from the pitching staff to compete this year

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 …

Nicasio the Fighter

Nicasio

At times, the blind optimism of Spring Training can be a bit much.  Certainly, it’s an exciting time because baseball really is just around the corner.  However, we often get carried away with best case scenarios and focusing on things that ultimately won’t matter very much.  Every player came into camp in the best shape …

Rockies Spring Training preview: starting pitchers

Could this be the Rockies Opening Day starter?

Over the last week I have previewed 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 starters, pitchers that is. Previous: Catcher, first base, second base, third base, …
