Latest blog entries from Denver teams across every league
That four-game sweep in San Diego last week? Whatever. It was a lifetime ago. It’s a new day and a new series, this time with the Houston Astros, a team the Colorado Rockies swept last week that has now lost eight in a row. To be fair, the Astros have be devastated by injuries. Taking […]
The Colorado Rockies optioned right-handed long reliever Valente Bellozo to the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes on Monday. However, a corresponding roster move was not announced until Tuesday afternoon as right-handed pitcher Tanner Gordon has been recalled from the Isotopes. Bellozo, pitched 4.1 innings of relief on Sunday against the San Diego Padres when anticipated starter Kyle […]
Which teams had the most 1-run games? Frequent 1-Run Games. In games through 8 April, the Rockies and the Diamondbacks were tied for the most 1-run games in the Majors. On 10 April, the changed standings showed the Diamondbacks in the lead with seven 1-run games, the Mariners in second place with six 1-run games, […]
Colorado Rockies top prospect Ethan Holliday (No. 2 PuRP) has started his first full season of professional baseball with the Low-A Fresno Grizzlies. Currently, the 19-year-old short stop is slashing .200/.360/.560 in 20 at-bats. Granted, it’s early in the season, and we don’t yet have meaningful data. This comes off a 2025 season where after […]
The Avalanche are likely still getting into the swing of the day after their SO victory in Edmonton last night. Still, the NHL schedule is relentless, even for game 81, as they will face the Flames tonight in Calgary on the second of a back-to-back. That means MacKenzie Blackwood in the net, but will we […]
Talkin' Gaysball: A section bursting with barechested guys might already be the highlight of the Rockies season. Plus City Connect tops and bottoms! The post Colorado Rockies harness the power of shirtless dudes to get a rare sweep appeared first on Outsports .
Game 82 of the regular season has suddenly become a must-win for the Oilers. After a 2-1 shootout loss to Colorado, Edmonton can finish anywhere from first to fourth in the Pacific Division, depending on how the final few days unfold. Though the Avalanche have already locked up the Presidents’ Trophy and home-ice advantage throughout…
After falling to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday afternoon, the Oilers returned to Rogers Place for their final two regular-season games of the year. First up was a visit from a shorthanded Colorado Avalanche team that had several players out of their lineup after already locking down the Presidents’ Trophy. What we got was…
Back on November 5, 2025, when the Colorado Rockies claimed INF/OF Troy Johnston off waivers, the move seemed fairly insignificant. At the time, the Rockies rebuild was in its early stages with key front office positions remaining unfilled, so their thinking on claiming Johnston was unclear. In spring training, however, Johnston’s potential became clear: It’s […]
One last regular season road trip for the Colorado Avalanche was on the docket as they faced the Edmonton Oilers who still had something to play for with none of the seeding determined in the Pacific division. As much as the Oilers needed those two points, the Avalanche came to play stealing the second point […]
The penultimate game has come to an end, and the Edmonton Oilers will need some help. On Monday evening, the Oilers hosted the Colorado Avalanche for their second-to-last regular-season game, falling 2-1 in a shootout. With the loss, the Oilers’ hopes of winning their first division title since 1986-87 are quickly fading, but there may…
Congratulations! You’ve won a (completely fictional) 15-minute coffee break with Colorado Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta. After you’ve ordered whatever it is you’re drinking, you sit down, and DePodesta asks you for some advice as the Rockies head into the fourth week of this young MLB season. What would you tell him? Please […]
Fans in Edmonton will get one last regular-season glimpse at McDavid vs. MacKinnon tonight at Rogers Place before the NHL playoffs begin this weekend. Both clubs have secured playoff berths, but the Oilers are on the cusp of winning the pillow fight in the Pacific Division and will be desperate for a victory as they […]
It was weird getting to zone out last night. Over the years I’ve been pretty open about my tendency to do this when the game gets out of hand for the Spurs, but (for the most part) I just wasn’t able to disengage like that this season. That is, I think, one of the biggest […]
The San Antonio Spurs had the opportunity to control the playoff bracket. If they defeated the Denver Nuggets, who sat the bulk of their starters and only played Nikola Jokic 18 minutes, they’d bump them down to the fourth-seed, and wouldn’t need to face them until the Western Conference Finals. Instead, the Spurs, without Victor […]
After the hype of sweeping the Houston Astros and the crushing reality of being swept by the San Diego Padres in a four-game series, last week was a roller coaster for Colorado Rockies fans. While progress will be slow in the climb to change the trajectory of an organization that’s lost more than 100 games […]
So, stage one is complete. The Edmonton Oilers have officially clinched a playoff spot. But there are more questions than answers at this stage. What’s the status of Jason Dickinson or Max Jones, who went down while on the road trip? Or the status of Zach Hyman, who missed the three-game road trip? Is Leon…
With two games remaining, the Oilers still have everything left to play for. Edmonton will host the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Avalanche on Monday before closing out the regular season on Thursday against the last-place Canucks. Win both, and the Pacific Division title is within reach. Lose both, and the Oilers could fall into a wild-card spot….
In a final tuneup before the playoffs, the Spurs took to the court and walked away relatively healthy (I’m looking at you, Dylan Harper’s thumb), which is all that matters. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 24 points along with 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Keldon Johnson contributed 18 points with 6 rebounds in the […]
The San Diego Padres punctuated their four-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies with a 7-2 win in the final game, giving them a sweep of the series. The San Diego lineup showed its versatility scoring the first two runs of the game using small ball with bunts to move runners and sacrifice flyballs to bring […]
Antonio Senzatela and Chase Dollander are two very different pitchers, but both have found themselves transitioning from starting to long relief over the last year. For Senzatela, the move came after struggles over the last few seasons that saw him returning from a variety of health challenges, including Tommy John surgery. Finally in August, the […]

The final buzzer at the Frost Bank Center carried little urgency for the San Antonio Spurs—but it still told a story. San Antonio came into the regular season finale on Sunday already locked into the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, so missing key pieces for rest and injury management, the Spurs fell 128-118 to […]
Leading up to Sunday Night’s game between the Spurs and Nuggets, Wolves fans had reason to hope that San Antonio would take care of business against Denver’s C team. The Spurs rolled out the majority of their lineup minus Wemby. The Nuggets took the opposite approach of Nikola Jokic surrounded a bunch of dudes they […]
