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...

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.

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.

With a lineup typically featuring Carlos Gonzalez, Troy Tulowitzki, Todd Helton and Michael Cuddyer hitting in a row, the Rockies are...

Mark Ellis Making Immediate Impact in Colorado
Posted on 7 Jul 2011 by Steve Folsom.
Ellis has been enjoying success at the plate since coming over from Oakland, especially at Coors Field. Although Mark Ellis has only been a member of the Colorado Rockies for six games (including Wednesday night’s game at Atlanta), he has made a huge impact on the team. No one is going to confuse Ellis with Chase Utley, but he is exactly what the Rockies needed. (Although, if the only time ...

It seems like just yesterday I was typing up my preseason predictions for the upcoming baseball season. It's hard to believe that we are already at the halfway point. Who says that the baseball season is too long? As per usual with baseball, this season is full of unpredictability and surprises. We've seen two no-hitters within one week to make this the year of the pitcher 2.0, a home ...

Time for Carlos Gonzalez to Hit Third Again?
Posted on 21 Jun 2011 by Steve Folsom.
Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy had a slumping #3 hitter in Carlos Gonzalez at the beginning of June. The Rockies were playing below expectations and Gonzalez was not hitting like he was in 2010. In order to try and wake up Gonzalez’s bat, Tracy played around with his lineup. The major move he made was putting Gonzalez in the leadoff spot. On June 6th of this season, Gonzalez made hi...

Rockies Getting into the Swing of Things
Posted on 17 Jun 2011 by Steve Folsom.
Winners of 5 of their last 8 games, Colorado is starting to show some signs of life at the plate. With 47 runs scored in 7 of those 8 games, it seems the Rockies are gaining more confidence in the batter’s box. Contrast those 47 runs to the 16 runs the Rockies scored in the 9 games previous to this current 8 game stretch, and an improving offense looks to be a good sign for Colorado to ju...
