3 Up – 3 Down: Tracy’s Last Stand

MLB: Colorado Rockies at Texas Rangers

The Rockies continued their poor play, finishing the week at 2-4 on the road against Detroit and Philadelphia including a walk-off loss on a throwing error.  In an attempt to improve the starting pitching without any actual personnel or coaching moves, the Rockies made a curious change in strategy by sending Jeremy Guthrie to the …

Rockies fans deserve better

Jordan Pacheco

According to ESPN’s standings, the Rockies have a 0.7% chance of making the playoffs.  For a team ranking in the top five in runs scored, it’s pretty remarkable that they’re effectively eliminated from the postseason and it’s only mid-June.  However, there has been a lot of doom and gloom around here lately, so I’m going …

Talk of moving Cuddyer to second is absurd

The skipper continues to miss the point.

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 …

Heads up!

Touching Base with the Fans: Battles along the Beltway Part 1 Earlier this week, Rockies no.1 starter Jeremy Guthrie told the Denver Post he wouldn’t be surprised if the Rockies kicked him off the team, saying,  “If I don’t make another start here, it wouldn’t surprise me.” Alas, Guthrie has nothing to fear, as his …

Monday Morning Shortstop: Breath of Fresh Air

cargo smile

Now that’s more like it. The Rockies play over the last week has been a nice breath of fresh air. In the Month of May, the Rockies stunk up the place. In fact, they were downright putrid, and pretty much played the team out of contention. On April 30th, the Rockies were exactly .500, and …

Rockies farm system on the rise, Corey Dickerson tearing up the Cali League

trevor story

There has been a lot of doom and gloom around here lately and it’s warranted.  Thus far, the Rox season is best summed up as a total bed crapping – last night’s win aside.  The owner’s recent comments in the Denver Post only made things worse.  But, there is only so much griping and moaning …
