Latest news and updates about the Rockies
Yesterday, facing off against Nick Pivetta and what may well have been a preview of the Padres Opening Day lineup, the Rockies managed a convincing 9-3 victory.

By Baseball-Reference, he is already the Rockies’ all-time leader in WAR among starting pitchers (19.2), a reflection of both longevity and effectiveness in baseball’s […]
The Colorado Rockies dropped a high-scoring affair yesterday, falling 14–11 to the San Francisco Giants.

Here’s a question: Which Colorado Rockie (or Rockies) do we appreciate that should receive more attention? Look, we’re the Colorado Rockies Sickos [complimentary].

For all the reasons we’ve written about and all the painful innings Rockies fans watched, 2025 was a season to forget. Luckily, there was Hunter Goodman. In his first full MLB season, the then 25-year-old put up the best season for a catcher in MLB not named Cal Raleigh. Goodman, the Rockies fourth-round pick from […]

There is no doubting that the Dodgers have made themselves the juggernaut of the NL West and indeed all of baseball, winning back-to-back World Series and signing one of if not the top free agent every winter.
