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 …

The regular season is finally here and now that the first week of games is officially in the books, we discuss how the Rockies have performed during the first two series.

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, …

Nearly 20 years ago the Rockies could do no wrong. If the team lost 14-20 the stands would still be full the next day. Mile High was packed with rabid fans and a few years later when Coors Field opened up the franchise had to add a third deck to the right field bleachers to …

Obviously, last year was extremely disappointing for every Rockies’ fan. The truth is that the team we all expected to contend at the beginning of the season had a lot more weaknesses than strengths. There were massive holes at third and second base, and the outfield was pretty weak against left-handed pitching. But, even with …

Here are the pitchers, who could start, as listed on the 40-man roster page on the Colorado Rockies website as of December 6th: Jhoulys Chacin, Tyler Chatwood, Jorge De La Rosa, Christian Friedrich, Jason Hammel, …
