Losing streaks are miserable. They cause irrational responses from fans and reckless decisions by teams. Everyone has a right to be frustrated with the Rockies right now, but maybe it’s time to take a step back. There is no need to cuss out Jeremy Guthrie on Twitter. He knows he’s been terrible, but I assure …

Last night Jim Tracy started Tyler Colvin in centerfield for the second game in a row. Many instantly assume that the decision Tracy is making is Colvin versus Dexter Fowler and unfortunately in Tracy’s case, that might be true. I think Tracy looks at two things when making decisions, two simple things: 1. age of …

In many of the professional sports if a team appears unprepared the head coach, manager or whatever the elder leader of the team is called in that sport, is typically held accountable. If a defensive back is not hustling on a play and completely misses a coverage the onus is on the player, but as …

The Rockies starting pitching is terrible. However, they aren’t the worst in baseball. That distinguished honor currently belongs to the woeful Twins. Regardless, being in the same league as the Twins in anything is a really, really bad sign. The Rockies pitching problems will not be going away any time soon. Sure, they have some …

The Rockies are 4.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the National League West and the team’s first month was average (11-11 record) mostly due to very average (to below average) pitching. All too often the starting pitcher leaves the …

The Colorado Rockies took a flyer on Michael Cuddyer last off-season, when they signed the free agent to a three year, 31.5 million dollar contract. So far, he’s been a great hire, and his bat has been on fire. He is hitting .345, and leads the teams in RBI (11), hits (19) and total bases …

This past weekend was easily the best weekend of Rockies baseball in probably a year. By not completely giving in on Sunday, the Rox were able to pick up a tough road series win against the Brewers. Most importantly, the pitching is looking much better over the past week. One sentiment that has been tossed …

I have to admit that when the Colorado Rockies signed Michael Cuddyer this offseason I wasn’t very excited. I don’t think I was truly disappointed either. I was sort of blah-blah on the subject and my biggest complaint about the signing were the number of years, Cuddyer’s age and the salary given. At the time …
