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. …

Nolan

Fans will have to look back in wonder on this past week of scintillating play, if the Rox can keep it rollin’ all the way to a wilder card spot come September, and smile. An off-day today gives us all the time to breathe deep and take it all in again. Hosting our two division …
