Given the Rockies recent struggles at the plate, discussing who should hit eighth might seem a little out of place. Let’s be honest – when a team scores more than three runs only once over their last eight games (and nearly get no-hit twice), the last thing they should be worried about is who should …

Prior to the 2012 season the Colorado Rockies were looking for an outfielder to replace the Seth Smith/Ryan Spilborghs combo in right field. The best player available was Carlos Beltran who had just made a big impact with the San Francisco Giants after being traded mid-season from the New York Mets. Many Rockies fans wanted …

One month is officially in the books and the Rockies are in first place in the NL West with a 17-11 mark. Importantly, the Rockies are 8-8 on the road with a +8 run differential including 6 road wins against divisional foes. The team made some interesting personnel moves prior to commencing interleague play this …

Besides the eternally optimistic (and smoke-blowing) Dick Monfort, did anyone think the Rockies would end April on top of the NL West? Heck, did anyone think they would even be at .500, much less 16-11? This was a 98-loss team whose biggest off-season acquisition was a middle reliever. Even die-hard Rockies fans were predicting another …

In 71 plate appearances in 2013 Chris Nelson had a total of three extra-base hits and none of those three went over the fence. In 664 plate appearances with the Rockies in total, spanning four seasons, Nelson had hit 13 home runs for the Rockies. For all of the talk in the Root Sports broadcast …

Yesterday I was stuck listening to the Rockies games on the radio or watching on MLB At Bat or MLB Gameday. Work interfered with the first game and then my kid got in the way of the second game. Both semi-decent excuses for not watching, right? Ya, I don’t think so either. I’ll do better …

Dexter Fowler is good. I think that is a very safe statement, yet I am amazed at how many fans still would rather see Eric Young Jr. in the outfield than Dexter. Dexter Fowler is one of the best five best center fielders in all of baseball. *Look of bewilderment* I think even that statement …

As of Friday morning, the Rockies are 6-0 at home, 11-4 overall, and in first place in the NL West. Let that sink in for a minute. Yes, the schedule has been weak. Yes, better opponents are on the horizon. Yes, O’Dowd is still GM. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look at the standings …

“Maybe these guys ain’t so fu**in’ bad.” That’s the thought running through my head, as well as the rest of the Rockies’ fans. When they started off 5-1, it was easy to dismiss considering they had played a mediocre team in Milwaukee and a much worse team in San Diego. After the Giants took the …

The Rockies are 10-4 and came from behind in a cold second game of a double-header and both of those are just as astonishing to me on this rainy Wednesday morning. Who would have thought the Rockies would come out of the gate firing like this? Who would have thought that the pitching would be …
