Latest news and updates about the Rockies
Believe it or not, currently the Colorado Rockies bullpen is tied for eighth place with its 1.6 accumulated fWAR. (They are tied with the Miami Marlins.) Their 4.35 ERA comes in 20th, and their BB/9 of 3.38 comes in ninth. Probably, a lot of that is due to Chase Dollander’s working with an opener, so […]
I was pretty excited about this game, after our offense suddenly found itself in the same ballpark as our defense and our pitching last night. Eduardo Rodriguez, my favorite hologram—everybody’s favorite hologram, actually—was going for us after nearly pitching a complete game in his last outing versus the Mets, while the Rockies had Tomoyuki Sugano, […]
The Colorado Rockies notched a close win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in a bit of an odd game where the final score doesn’t quite reflect how many runners got on in a game where both teams combined for 21 hits. Pitchers and the defense were ultimately able to work out of trouble. Tomoyuki Sugano 菅野 […]

This was not the start to the homestand the Rockies were hoping for. Colorado fell to Arizona 9-1 at Coors Field on Friday, dropping to 17-28 while the Diamondbacks moved to 21-22. The Rockies got bit early and spent the rest of the night trying to catch up, as Arizona turned an overturned call in […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks kicked the weekend off right with a big win in Denver. The headline from this one is all about Merrill Kelly and his first career Complete Game. Merrill finally had a good start against the Mets last weekend and he followed it up with quite probably the best start of his […]
On Friday afternoon, Colorado Rockies right-handed pitcher Chase Dollander spoke with the media about a right elbow injury that led to him being removed from yesterday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and being placed on the 15-day injured list today. Dollander described his injury as “just a very minor UCL sprain. That’s just what the […]

With their “Rivalry Weekend” series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field set to begin tonight, the Colorado Rockies have announced multiple roster moves. Headlining the announcement is the news that top prospect Sterlin Thompson (no. 13 PuRP) has been recalled from the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes for his Major League debut. Thompson, 24, was selected […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I was excited about the Rockies signing Michael Lorenzen this offseason. With the new front office being high on him and the 34-year-old’s affinity for problem-solving and a seven-pitch mix, I bought into the hype. I even predicted Lorenzen, who signed a one-year deal worth $8 million in […]
Endy Rodriguez made his first Major League appearance since June of 2025, and he responded by going 2-for-3,including a double and a two-run single, to lift the Pirates to a 7-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Of course Ryan O’Hearn continued producing as well, as he went 3-for-4 with his 7th dinger of […]
Last week, I offered up the discussion about who the best color commentator in Colorado sports is. When it comes to the Colorado Rockies broadcasts, Ryan Spilborghs garnered plenty of support. It’s understandable since Spilly is a humorous individual, but what I’ve always enjoyed is the perspective he brings as a former player and fan […]
“We have to be better than this.” I don’t know if Torey said this phrase the past week. Probably not. Difference with previous seasons, in my opinion, is that this team was never bound for play-offs. The starting pitching has become worse over the years, with several big signings not living up to the money […]
The Colorado Rockies were unable to replicate their offensive production from Wednesday, but the major concern from their 7-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates lies with a concerning injury to their most promising starting pitcher. The Rockies finish the road trip with a 2-4 record and two series losses. Danger for Dollander? The Rockies hoped […]
Update 11:39am MT: Thomas Harding reports that Dollander was removed due to right arm tightness. Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chase Dollander left today’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after facing two batters in the second inning. After giving up a leadoff double to Endy Rodríguez and then walking Jared Triolo, he shook his right arm […]

By the time Paul Depodesta joined the organization in early November the Colorado Rockies had already parted ways with their established big league free agents Germán Márquez, Thairo Estrada, Kyle Farmer, and Orlando Arcia. The new-look front office did not immediately host a fire sale of the team’s remaining high-profile big leaguers, but they did […]
The Rockies entered today struggling on offense. Losers of three straight, they had scored just four runs during that stretch. Last night they were humbled by one of the best pitchers in the league, and early tonight it looked like more losing was on the menu. However, Mickey Moniak led a resurgent Rockies offense to […]

Last week, in the space of fewer than 24 hours, Jake McCarthy hit a grand slam and drove in five runs as the Rockies beat the Mets 6-2, and Alek Thomas was designated for assignment. In the short-sightedness of many fans (no judgment; I’m in this category sometimes as well) this meant that we had […]
When Darryl Strawberry was pinch-hit for in the championship softball game against the Shelbyville Nuclear Power Plant, Springfield Power Plant mogul and manager C. Montgomery Burns explained the decision: “It’s called playing the percentages; it’s what smart managers do to win ball games.” Sure, Strawberry had nine home runs that day, but with the lefty […]
On Sunday, MLB.com published an article titled 1 thing each team can improve upon the rest of the way with nuggets of information from each team’s beat writer. Some teams need to be more productive with runners in scoring position, have more leadoff production or more base stealing, have a more consistent bullpen and more. […]
Pittsburgh’s PNC Park has never been a friendly stadium for the Colorado Rockies, and tonight was no exception, despite some late-game hits. For the first six innings of the game, the Rockies went hitless in the face of Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes. Although they would not be no-hit, the Rockies would be unable to […]

After spending the weekend and going 1-2 against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Colorado Rockies (16-25) will look to reset as they begin a three-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates (22-19). They will, however, have their work cut out for them with a much-improved Pirates squad. Moreover, Colorado has lost five-straight in Pittsburgh dating back to […]
