By Rox Girl Happy International Signing Day! A couple things to note about the Rockies that we've learned in years past: Don't expect the team to be in on the biggest fish or perhaps even mentioned at all in important signings today.

By Tom Stephenson In 2008, the Rockies are 12-6 on days when Aaron Cook is the starting pitcher. That’s the good news. The bad? Well, the Rockies are 21-45 when anybody else starts a game. That was very much the case last night, when Cook ignored the plane nosediving behind him and pitched the Rockies to [...]

By Tom Stephenson I’ve been putting this off for a while now.  After all, even today, even at 32-51 and in last place, the Rockies are only ten games out in the NL Worst West.  And the memory of September and October, 2007, is still fresh on all of our minds.  The fact that the Diamondbacks lead the [...]

By Tom Fornelli The biggest kick in the stomach for the National League? The Royals are 11-3 against them so far this season. The same Royals team that's 24-40 against it's own league. All of which means that if the Royals haven't contacted Bud Selig and asked about switching leagues yet, they should seriou...

By Tom Stephenson Bet you didn’t know that Kansas City is the closest other MLB city to Denver — and it’s not even close.  You’d think the Rockies and Royals would be natural rivals, but they’re not; after all, “closest” in this case is 600 miles, so this really says more about the fact that the Rockies are [...]

By Tom Stephenson The Cleveland News-Herald reported on Wednesday that the Indians could be looking at Garrett Atkins or Matt Holliday at the trade deadline.  Of course, this is hilarious, because the Rockies just swept the Indians, and the Indians are farther out of first place than the Rockies are.

By Tom Stephenson So Greg Reynolds goes to the hill today with a chance to take the series against the Mets.  Aside from a one-game “series” against the Braves, the Rockies haven’t lost a series in the month of June.  Let’s see Reynolds continue that streak.

By Drew Bienhoff Pretty soon, though, the Rockies will have a decision to make. Jason Hirsh is due back pretty soon, and there’s always Franklin Morales, though he’s having some terrible struggles in the minors. After struggling with his control with the Rockies, Morales has struggled just as much in AAA. I...

By Drew Bienhoff I’m not going to lie.  It’s been tough watching Greg Reynolds thus far this season.  After pulling for the Rockies to draft Evan Longoria back in the 2006 draft (I promise you, I’ve never followed a college baseball player as closely as I had Longoria,) I was disappointed to see the Rox take Re...

By Daniel Rathman Pop quiz: name the two ten-game winners in the National League this season. I’ll even give you a hint, they’re both sinkerballers. Brandon Webb’s the easy one; the other — unless you’re a Rockies fan or a fantasy addict — is often forgotten.

By Tom Stephenson The Rockies hit four home runs in last night’s game against the White Sox.  The problem?  Well, all four of those home runs were solo shots.  And those represented the only runs the Rockies scored.  In fact, aside from four solo home runs, the Rockies’ offense did virtually nothing.  A single b...

By noreply@blogger.com (obsessivegiantscompulsive) If I were to fix the game in the Rockies favor, I would use non-humidor balls and try to win in an offensive blowout because the Rockies have more offensive weapons than the Giants and Cook is a better pitcher than Misch is. Actual result: 10-5 win for the Rockies, their offensive wins the day.

By Tom Stephenson Well, after an eight-game losing streak, the Rockies have now won 5 of 6.  That’s the good news.  The bad news is that, even after a hot stretch, the Rockies are still 25-39, 14 games under .500, possessing the third-worst record in all of baseball and the worst record in all of the National Leag...

By Drew Bienhoff The offense has been very disappointing for a lineup that was supposed to be one of the tops in the National League, if not in all of baseball.  Here are the current ranks in the National League of this Rockies offense coming into tonight:

By Tom Stephenson And that’s now four in a row. We’re supposed to report on news.  The Rockies losing these days, well, that isn’t really news.  At no point this year have the Rockies looked like contenders for anything, except for “worst record in baseball” (currently tied with the Mariners for that “distinc...

By Tom Stephenson In any case… the strange thing about this is that it was sort of expected.  I don’t know, somehow, today, the Rockies blew a 9-1 lead in the span of two innings, and nothing was all that surprising about it.  Nothing is surprising this season.  Except, of course, the Rockies building a 9-1 lead b...

By Rox Girl There are just three teams that rank below the Rockies in both ERA+ and OPS+ categories, the Padres, the Nationals, and tonight's opponent, the Giants. The Rockies better well keep it that way, at least in regards to our current opponent. Feel free to move up on the rest of the league anytime,...

By Jim McLennan Brandon Webb got his ninth win of the season tonight: no-one else in the National League has more than six. It was also his eleventh consecutive victory, a streak only seen once in the National League since they lowered the pitching mound before the 1969 season. This was, however, not a laugh...

By Tom Stephenson God, what a week. After 2007 and Rocktober, I think a lot of us had really high expectations for the Rockies this year.  And with good reason; after all, the only everyday player not returning was Kaz Matsui, and the only starting pitchers gone were Rodrigo Lopez and Josh Fogg, who we assumed w...

By Tom Stephenson The problem, though, is that polished college pitchers aren’t as difficult to find as flamethrowers who really have the kind of potential to become a true number one starter.  In the 2006 draft, the Rockies also got Brandon Hynick, another college pitcher (currently at AA) who could/sho...

By Drew Bienhoff With Matt Holliday getting the day off, the Rockies found runs hard to come by in the rubber match of this three game set against San Diego. Chris Young continued what seems like his perpetual domination of the boys from Denver, limiting them to a single run over six innings while improving t...

By Tom Stephenson Torrealba may or may not be a better defensive backstop than Iannetta.  But the fact of the matter is, with Tulowitzki out for a while and second base still a black hole, the Rockies need to go for offense, and the Rockies cannot afford to have Iannetta, currently hitting .362 with a whopping 1....

By Jim McLennan Still, that was about the only down-note on a night when we succeeded in continuing our domination over the rest of the division, and with the Dodgers dropping their fourth straight, we extended our lead over them to 4.5 games. That's the most it's been since - hey - that game against the Mets w...

By Tom Stephenson That’s what the Rockies are dealing with.  The Rockies aren’t the Cubs, who finished fifth in the NL in attendance in 2006 despite finishing sixth in the NL Central.  Getting the fans back is one thing; keeping them will be the biggest test the Rockies face in 2008.  Start 18-27 like they did la...

By Jim McLennan Oh, hold my aching sides, for I fear they may split. Really, I don't quite know where to start with such a delicious smorgasborg of wrong-headedness. First of all, "further ahead"? The NLCS aside, the Rockies have first got some catching up to do, even to pull level with us. For a reality check r...

By Rox Girl In 2003, the Colorado Rockies used this batting order on opening day (with their OPS for the season): Willy Taveras, 25 Kaz Matsui, 31 Garrett Atkins, 27 Matt Holliday, 27 Todd Helton, 33 Brad Hawpe, 28 Troy Tulowitzki, 22 Chris Iannetta, 24
