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 …

Reviewing a month of 75 pitches or fewer

francis-jeff

On June 19th Jim Tracy declared that the Rockies starting pitchers would only throw 75 pitches per start. At the time the Rockies had by far the worst ERA among starting pitchers in baseball so something had to be done…many were not sure this was what needed to be done. I personally think the Rockies …

First I was like…then I was like…

This is my summary of last night’s performance by Jonathan Sanchez, in pictures. In the first inning, this was my reaction: Two ground balls and a strikeout! This is the Jonathan Sanchez from 2010!! As the second inning started, I was like:

3 Up – 3 Down: Some manager that I used to know

hurdle

The Rockies’ struggles continued after the All Star break, going just 2-4 at 20th and Blake against the two Pennsylvania clubs. Clint Hurdle returned to Coors Field as the manager of the upstart Pirates and his presence served as a symbolic juxtaposition of the fortunes of the two franchises: the on-the-rise Pirates and the don’t-have-a-clue …

Guthrie is gone

guth

The Rockies traded away Jeremy Guthrie today to the Kansas City Royals in return for Jonathan Sanchez. (Just to add some kindling to the fire – if there is even a small burn – how come Troy Renck hasn’t been breaking these stories? Are the Rockies not happy with their main beat reporter telling the …

MLB: AUG 24 Braves at Rockies

Last night I went to the Rockies game with my family for my cousins birthday. We met at Sports Column, as usual, to have drinks and dinner before the game. In year’s past I made it a point to be in my seat for the first pitch, but after the way 2011 ended and the …

The weekend that was for the Colorado Rockies, in case you missed it

IMG_20120713_184519

Coming out of the All-Star break it is easy to forget that the Rockies returned to action this weekend. The team was 19 games under .500 and tied with the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros with the fewest wins in baseball after the first half. Not a lot to root for. But maybe that wasn’t …

Rockies first half awards

dex

I can’t believe baseball actually thought it was a good idea to have TWO off days after the All-Star Game. One, it ruins the trivia question “what day of the year has no games being played among the four major sports?” (it now has to ask which two days…) and two it just ruins my …

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 …

Ex-Rockies pitchers

Ubaldo hasn't pitched any better since leaving Colorado

As I am watching the Cubs @ Diamondbacks game on MLBN I see on the scroll that Franklin Morales made another start for the Red Sox today and his stat line looked pretty sharp. I also saw Brian Fuentes pitching to Melky Cabrera on my CBS Fantasy stats page and I got to wondering how …
