When the Colorado Rockies went on a win streak prior to the trade deadline it may have made the front office think twice about dealing away players. No players left Colorado at the deadline. Even closer Brian Fuentes, the most obvious trading chip, was held.
While it could be said that the Rockies didn’t get the [...]
The Colorado Rockies called up reliever Steven Register from Colorado Springs to take the roster spot of the recently designated for assignment Valerio De Los Santos.
Register who was taken in the Rule 5 draft earlier this year failed to make the New York Mets out of spring training and was returned to the Rockies. The [...]
Josh Newman, 26, has been claimed off waivers by the Kansas City Royals. Newman had struggled at the big league level in stints with the Colorado Rockies but posted a 2.45 ERA while a member of the teams Triple-A affiliate.
Newman still projects as a solid relief pitcher. The left handed Newman posted stellar minor league [...]
The Colorado Rockies sent reliever Josh Newman to Triple-A today. Newman had pitched in eight games but the results were not what he or the team had hoped posting a 9.35 ERA during the span.
Newman who got his first taste of the big leagues last season as a September call up had previously pitched in [...]
This is one tough task but I’ve decided to try and fine a reason to like each of the 30 teams in major league baseball. Now some were easier to find then others and while some will disagree for the reasoning I’ve done my best I think.
I hope to continue this series by creating a [...]
The most glarring upgrade for the Colorado Rockies would be their starting rotation. Before the start of last season they traded away Jason Jennings, the winningest pitcher in franchise history, for Jason Hirsh, Taylor Buchholz and center fielder Willy Tavares.
In Hirsh the Rockies were getting a 6′8″ righty who dominated Triple-A in 2006. For the [...]
I tried to withstand it. Really I did.
Tonight Carrie had a class to attend and rather then driving home and coming back, wasting gas in order to be home for an hour, I stayed in the car and waited. I turned on the local sports radio channel as usual and prepared myself to be annoyed [...]
With respect to the Colorado Rockies and their crazy 21-of-22 wins I don’t see how anyone is going to stop this Boston Red Sox team. The Rockies are pretty much bringing one starter into this battle and in that start he will undoubtly get squashed by the beast that is Josh Beckett.
Ubaldo Jimenez, a rookie [...]
Seth Smith went to college at Ole Miss on a football scholarship. However Smith never took a snap in three seasons due to the presence of Eli Manning. Instead Smith was allowed to play baseball where he would find his true calling. Smith was selected in the second round of the Amateur draft by the [...]
Winners of 21-of-22 the Colorado Rockies are headed to their first World Series. Last season the Rockies finished in last place in the NL West and had been ruled out by many at having a chance of making hte playoffs come September.
Of course that failed to take into account the amazing run by the Rockies to finish the season. [...]
Colorado Rockies pitcher Josh Fogg has been called “Dragon Slayer” due to a few wins this season.
The case of calling Josh Fogg Dragon Slayer is presented below
+ Fogg defeated Mike Pelfry for his first win of the season April 25
+ Fogg defeated 2006 Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb in September
+ Fogg defeated struggling Curt [...]
The Colorado Rockies are doing something against the norm. Of course losing one game in nearly three weeks isn’t exactly normal either.
After Jeff Francis pitches the first game of the series in Arizona, Colorado will turn things over to two guys with a combined 26 big league starts. (That’s counting their outings against the Philadelphia [...]
The Colorado Rockies continued their improbable run. Finishing off the Philadelphia Phillies Saturday night for a sweep of the NLDS. They have now won 17 of their last 18. Their lone loss in that stretch came to Brandon Webb who would be pitching against them in Game 1 of the NLCS.
Ubaldo Jimenez survived a 13 [...]
Watching this game on TBS there were a handful of things that stood out. From personnel changes to umpire calls and even to decisions that have long ago been made by Major League Baseball.
I’ll take a look at some of the points that I thought were critical in this playoff deciding battle between the San [...]
Last week I wrote about Seth Smith’s overshadowed minor league career, last night Smith went out and hit for the cycle and even added an additional three run homer in the 8th inning in a 13-3 SkySox win over the Las Vegas 51’s.
“Maybe in Little League, never in pro ball,” Smith said, when asked if [...]
