The Rockies front office has no doubt done little to improve the team so far this offseason. The question is could they? Have they ignored opportunities to improve the team? I do not believe they have; and this offseason shows the unique challenge the Rockies franchise faces. Yes the Rockies need pitching. But what free …

Over the past couple of years we’ve seen three cases of a pitcher getting hit in the head by a line drive, resulting in a lot of talk about needing to protect pitchers. The first occurred last year when Juan Nicasio (Rockies) was hit, falling to the ground and breaking his neck. The second occurred …

With free agent season upon us, I’d like to take this opportunity to suspend reality by pretending that the Rockies have non-cheapskate owners and a general manager who doesn’t need his cage cleaned once a week, and look at how I would construct the roster for 2013 if I were in charge of this team. …

For those that aren’t completely wrapped up in Peyton Manning and the Broncos, there was some noteworthy baseball news today. The awards for AL and NL Rookie of the Year were announced. The Rockies had a horse in the race – Wilin Rosario – but there was never really any doubt about this one. This …

A common train of thought these days is that managers, by-in-large, do more harm than good, and furthermore, even the good ones are generally overrated. I don’t agree with that. Just because leadership isn’t quantifiable doesn’t mean it isn’t extremely valuable. To see an illustration of this, you need to look no further than the …

You’ll have to forgive us for being so quiet lately here at BSB. It’s taken a bit longer than I expected for me to get over the seven month gut punch that the Rockies just gave us. I’m sure the same can be said for everyone else. The home squad lost 98 games, Tulo missed …

OK, I’ll bite. It has been a while since anyone wrote anything new for BSB. What can we say? We are passionate fans who were worn out by an exhaustively disappointing year for the Rockies. As Logan has said many times: “how many times can we write ‘The Rockies Suck’ and come off fresh?” I …

Wilder Card Round First of all, I don’t consider the Wilder Card game to be the first round of the playoffs. It feels more like a play-in game outside of the playoffs kind of like those two ridiculous play-in games in the NCAA tournament. If anything, they cheapen the playoffs. That being said, the Wilder …

After losing to Detroit on June 17 and dropping to 25-40, the Rockies announced what would become the defining topic for the rest of the season – they would switch to a four-man rotation with a 75-pitch limit on the starters. Furthermore, they introduced the concept of paired-pitching into the scheme – where a quasi-starter, …

Can Dan O’Dowd please follow? Who would you like to see as the Rockies next manager? I would love to see Joe Maddon as the next manager but could you imagine the strategic conflicts between him and O’Dowd and/or Bill Geivett? I’m not sure who the Rockies need as a manager but I would love …
