Rockies ready to Roll in 2013?
Posted on 31 Jan 2013 by Cameron Gibson.
February is almost here, and we all know what that means. Rockies baseball is right around the corner. After a very disappointing 2011-2012 campaign, the Rockies are back! However with the lack of any significant off-season acquisitions in the pitching realm, it looks like the same problems in 2012 could plague the Rocks again in 2013. For a team that led the National League in batting average,...

Rockies Quiet at Trade Deadline
Posted on 1 Aug 2012 by Steve Folsom.
Typically teams that are completely out of it by late July are selling at the trade deadline. They are trying to rebuild for the future. The Rockies are a unique case in 2012, though, in that they don't have anyone to trade that would bring back pieces to rebuild for the future. Usually teams trade players with expiring contracts that they won't be able to sign in the offseason or know th...

Four Man Rotation Going Foward for Rockies
Posted on 29 Jun 2012 by Steve Folsom.
The Rockies are trying everything to make their pitching staff better. Last week the team decided to go with a four man rotation, as opposed to the traditional five. They would limit the starters to roughly 75 pitches and then give it to the bullpen. Part of the reason for this is because the starters can't get past the 5th inning anyway, so might as well do it on purpose, right? I'm not so...

Carlos Gonzalez: Five Tool Superstar
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Steve Folsom.
Carlos Gonzalez made history between Wednesday and Thursday last week when he hit a home run in four consecutive at bats. Several others have done this in Major League history, but never in Colorado Rockies history. His next official at bat, after an intentional walk, was only a double (if you have him in your fantasy leagues you might as well trade him because clearly he isn't hitting home r...

Rockies Wish May Would Go Away
Posted on 27 May 2012 by Steve Folsom.
Rockies wish they would fall asleep on April 30th and wake up on June 1st after two awful May campaigns in a row. If I were the Rockies, I would find some way to get baseball to take a 31 day break from April 30th to June 1st. This is the 2nd consecutive season in which their May has been awful. Nothing is going right and the Rockies are sliding into a hole they might not be able to get out o...

Mediocre April Leads to Disappointing May
Posted on 10 May 2012 by Steve Folsom.
Any Rockies fan will tell you that it has been an exciting, yet frustrating start to the season. We're now 30 games in, and at 13-17 the Rockies are not playing well enough to sniff the playoffs this season. At the very least Rockies games have been exciting. With a lineup typically featuring Carlos Gonzalez, Troy Tulowitzki, Todd Helton and Michael Cuddyer hitting in a row, the Rockies are...

Defense Wins Championships
Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Steve Folsom.
There's an old saying in sports: defense wins championships. In baseball, defense is part of the game, but in this reference it's pitching (along with a good defense) that wins championships. Either way, that doesn't bode well for the 2012 version of the Colorado Rockies (or any version of the Colorado Rockies since their inception in 1993). The Rockies defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6...
