Latest news and updates about the Rockies
They’ve talked about it for years now. The Colorado Rockies would enter spring training with the prerogative of stealing more bases in the regular season, especially after the implementation of bigger bases in 2023. Players would run free during Cactus League action, particularly the speedsters, in the hopes that it would carry over into the […]
I said it almost had to go better than yesterday, and it did. Max Scherzer was regularly getting it up to 95 tonight, which has to be a good sign. The offence wasn’t slugging but they notched 14 hits and four walks, and the bullpen kept things low stress. A nice bounce back all around. […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rockies fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The 2026 Rockies season is underway and the minor league seasons are just around the corner. The […]
Last night, with the series opener, the Colorado Rockies soundly defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a 14-5 onslaught. In Game 2, the Rockies hit some bad luck and (again) couldn’t seem to get the offense working (again). Add to that a seventh inning that put the Rockies on the back foot. They ended up […]
When this goes up, we will be on day 8 of our Japanese adventure. I played tennis a week before we were leaving and a friend I was playing with asked if I was going stop playing since there was only a week until we leave and I wouldn’t want to hurt myself. I said […]
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies (1-3) managed to absolutely bludgeon the American League Champion Toronto Blue Jays (3-1) in a 14-5 win that saw them facing a position player pitching before the evening had ended. Tonight, they will look to take the series from the Blue Jays. Something to watch: Colorado has not had […]
One of the spring training positional battles that Colorado Rockies fans watched took place at first base. Would recent trade T.J. Rumfield get the nod or Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon (No. 1 PuRP)? In the end, president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta went with Rumfield, sending Condon to Triple-A Albuquerque to continue his preparation. […]
It was unfortunate to see the Yankees’ perfect 3-0 record go by the wayside. Obviously that was never going to last, but it was almost more annoying to lose a close game, even when the opponent is a tough one in Seattle. Ryan Weathers didn’t go very deep, the bullpen was exposed a bit with […]
Yesterday, The Athletic published their yearly survey of MLB fandoms and where they are on the “Hope-o-meter.” (Gift link here.) The Colorado Rockies finished 27th, ahead of the Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels, and Minnesota Twins. Some 25.3% of fans said they felt “optimistic.” (Surprising no one, Los Angeles Dodgers fans are 99.7% optimistic.) Here’s […]
What a wild four games for the Colorado Rockies. They are swept by the Miami Marlins in the first three games, losing each game by only one run. Then, they are stranded in Maimi for an additional six hours: Recipe for disaster, right? Next they faced the American League Champion Toronto Blue Jays — a […]
Seventeen hits. Two homers. Six doubles. Fourteen runs. Seven-for-18 with runners in scoring position and three stolen bases. The Colorado Rockies got their first win of the 2026 with an exclamation point of a beatdown over the defending American League Champion Toronto Blue Jays in front of a sold-out Rogers Centre crowd on Monday night. […]
Friends, you’ve been so engaged that we had to put together an overflow thread! We’ll start doing that for game threads that reach 300+ comments (Sunday’s got a little unwieldy!). The Rockies just put up a seven-spot on the reigning AL champion Blue Jays after getting in around 2:30am. Also, it was the largest road […]
The second series of the season. We should be in Hakodate, Japan, when this goes up. It will be Cherry Blossom time when we are there, which, I’m told is a very busy tourist time. I remember a line in a book by Warren Cromartie who went over there to play ball after his playing […]
After being swept by the Marlins in opening weekend, the Rockies will see if going to Canada will help them find their first win of the 2026 season as they take on the Toronto Blue Jays tonight. It won’t be easy for the Rockies (0-3) as the Blue Jays (3-0) are not only the defending […]
As the Colorado Rockies MLB and Triple-A teams move into action, rosters are becoming available for the rest of the organizations farm system. Triple-A Albuquerque The Albuquerque Isotopes will field the following roster to start the season: For the Isotopes, the name of the game is tested depth. Very few players on this roster are […]
The Colorado Rockies completed their first series of the 2026 campaign, and ultimately went 0-3 against the Miami Marlins and were outscored 10-7. Starting the season with a sweep is never good, especially starting against a team on a similar tier before heading into a gauntlet for the next six weeks. It’s also not good […]
We first asked this back on February 20, 2026. Now that we’ve seen a weekend series with MLB’s new ABS challenge system, what do you think? So far, the Rockies have not been especially good at using the ABS system, but hopefully, like a lot of things, that will improve with practice. Does it work? […]
The Colorado Rockies were unable to avoid the sweep in their Opening Weekend series against the Miami Marlins. The Fish walked off the Rockies on a two-run home run, cementing an 0-3 record to kick off the 2026 campaign with three straight one-run losses. Unable to capitalize The Rockies struck first, when Jordan Beck hit […]
While practicing patience is still encouraged, the Colorado Rockies’ 2026 season is off to a familiar start. The Rockies are in Miami looking to avoid being swept by the Marlins on Opening Weekend after losing by just one run in both of their first two games. Yesterday afternoon had some fireworks as rookie TJ Rumfield […]
The Rockies played their last two spring training games and their first two regular season games this week. So far in the regular season, they’re 0-2 but there have been some moments of brightness. TJ Rumfield made his MLB debut, knocked his first MLB hit and launched his first MLB home run in his first […]
In case you missed it, the Denver Summit — the Mile High City’s new NWSL team — made quite a debut today: The game ended on a 0-0 draw, but what a great day for Denver sports. And that raises an interesting question: Is Denver the best sports town in the United States? It’s home […]
The Rockies once again fell to the Marlins in a one-run game. This one was marred by a lot of soft contact and weird breaks on both sides of the ball. But there were also some offensive highlights from TJ Rumfield and Ezequiel Tovar, who both his home runs early. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough and […]
After a disappointing 2-1 loss on Opening Day, the Colorado Rockies will look to even the series against the Miami Marlins. However, one bright note was first baseman TJ Rumfield. Rumfield made his MLB Debut last night, and is the only member of the Opening Day roster with true rookie status. He also became the […]
Let’s be honest right up front: The Rockies are not chasing history in 2026. (They might be running from it.) They’re not chasing Todd Helton and Larry Walker’s 49 home runs. They’re not chasing Andrés Galarraga’s 150 RBIs. They’re not sniffing Walker’s .379. This isn’t that kind of team. But that doesn’t mean this season won’t be worth watching. Because while this roster won’t threaten the franchise record books over 162 games, […]
We’re only one game in — so small sample size and all that — and you can read James Riggenbach’s game recap here of the Colorado Rockies 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins. but what were your biggest takeaways from the game? Me, I was encouraged by the Rockies staying in the game after going […]
