Over the next week I will preview 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 shortstop – and it will be short…so…STOP WHAT YOUR DOIN BECAUSE IM …

Clubhouse Confidential? Brilliant TV. Brian Kenny? Even better. He is 100% SABR and loves to sort of needle the guys on MLB Network that still believe RBI’s mean something, that some players are “clutch” and that starting pitchers deserve a team win. So when I heard that Dan O’Dowd and his obvious intentional avoidance of …

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 …

Yesterday on Root Sports they flashed a graphic showing the best 1-2 punch offensively in baseball. Strangely enough Root Sports strictly judges a player’s performance based on batting average, home runs and RBI. No wonder they think Dexter Fowler sucks – he only has 34 RBI! While listening to FOX Sports on Saturdays isn’t usually …

It is time to put it out there. Everyone who watches the Rockies on a nightly basis is starting to think the same thing. While we all hate to think it, much less say it, it is becoming to obvious not to say something. Troy Tulowitzki is a choker. A few years ago during one …

While watching the game and keeping up with baseball in general last night I had a few thoughts run through my head. Not all of these thoughts are clean enough for any sort of public forum and even some of my thoughts relate to baseball. None of them are deep enough for me to justify …

There are some unwritten manager rules in baseball that have been around a long, long time. Some of them are OK, like giving your pitcher the green light to throw at an opposing player when the opposing team plops your stud hitter in the back. Some of them are just plain dumb, like putting the …
