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...

Mile High Altitude Freezes The Snakes
Posted on 15 Apr 2012 by Matthew Hesse.
The Diamondbacks started out hot to start 2012. They swept the Giants at home. Not only that but they beat aces of the Giants: Lincecum, Bumgarner, and Cain. Then they traveled to San Diego and beat out the Padres 2 of the 3 games. Finally they ended this week with a road trip to a cold and windy Denver for their 3 game series with the Colorado Rockies. The Diamondbacks started out the ...

Rockies Manager on Hot Seat in Court of Public Opinion
Posted on 1 Sep 2011 by Steve Folsom.
The mood among Rockies fans concerning their manager Jim Tracy seems to be increasing in negativity. Twitter has been buzzing lately with comments on Tracy and how he handles the club. Unfortunately for Tracy, the buzz has been unpleasant. Fans wonder why the Rockies have underachieved this season. When a team struggles, the first person to usually receive much of the blame is the coach/m...

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...

Responding to Criticism?
Posted on 2 Jun 2011 by Brett Pietrzak.
 Yesterday, I made a post about the struggles of the Rockies and Ubaldo Jimenez. Ubaldo came back to pitch a four-hitter to win for the first time this season, Todd Helton homered and the Colorado Rockies defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 on Wednesday night, snapping a three-game losing streak. Jimenez struck out seven and walked none for the first time this season in his 10th start...

A Hero Emerges
Posted on 20 May 2011 by Brett Pietrzak.
Jason Giambi awoke from his 3-26 start yesterday in a big way. He smashed three homers and tied his career high with seven RBIs, leading the Colorado Rockies past the Phillies, 7-1, last night in Philadelphia. Giambi was making a rare start because first baseman Todd Helton had a back issues, Giambi went deep in his first three at-bats. The 40-year-old former AL MVP entered hitting .115 this se...

De La Rosa Strong, but Bats Stay Quiet in Philly
Posted on 19 May 2011 by Brett Pietrzak.
Another good outing by lefty Jorge De La Rosa was wasted on Wednesday Night as Millions of fan watched the Phillies defeat the Rockies by a score of 2-1 on ESPN’s Wednesday Night Baseball. The only team in a worse hitting slump then the Rockies right now is the Phillies yet, the Phillies capitalized on a wild pitch and timely hitting by scrappy infielder Wilson Valdez. The Rockies wasted an o...

Tulowitzki the reason for Rockies early success
Posted on 11 May 2011 by Brett Pietrzak.
The young shortstop from Fremont High School in Sunnyvale, California, who was named an all state shortstop and a team MVP 3-times in his 4 years there, is now flexing his muscles on the biggest stage of his life: the MLB. Â Being named rookie of the year in 2007 and having break-out 2008-2010 seasons has led many to believe that Troy is one of the best in the majors. Tulowitzki, often called â...

Flair For The Dramatic
Posted on 9 May 2011 by Daniel Lust.
Three Games. Three Victories. How Sweep it is. Finally looking like themselves again, the Giants disposed of Rockies in dramatic fashion. They didn't look like the far superior team, but that's nothing new for this group. All of last year, even during the playoffs, they rarely blew out their opponent. They simply find a way to get the job done. Same Formula. Great pitching coupled with ...

Lincecum. Ubaldo. WHAT A GAME, WHAT A CROWD.
Posted on 5 Sep 2010 by Joseph Davis.
Talk about shame. Having already seen a Washington Nationals home game and a Baltimore Orioles home game this year, with plans to see an Oakland Athletics home game on the horizon, imagine the guilt I carried around every time I called myself a Giants fan (and blogger) when I hadn’t attended single home game so far in 2010. I felt like a fraud and a phony; somebody unqualified to sport their ...

MORALES STEADY THROUGH 6 AS ROCKIES
Posted on 9 Apr 2009 by Denni Secline.
Clint Hurdle was serious when he put his starters on notice that with the acquisition of Jason Hammels from Tampa Bay, he would be sending one of his starters down to Colorado Springs. Franklin Morales seemed to be the guy who was sitting on that bubble and no sooner had he posted his first win of the season, he was informed he had been replaced. Morales pitched a solid 6 innings yesterday cha...
