Game Preview
The Colorado Rockies dropped a high-scoring affair yesterday, falling 14–11 to the San Francisco Giants. Willi Castro and Kyle Karros each had two hits to lead the offense, but bullpen struggles proved costly—most notably Seth Halverson, who continued to have a tough spring. Tonight in Peoria, the 12–13 Rockies take on the 14–11 Padres, where temps could still be triple digits at first pitch. The roster is now trimmed […]

The post Preview: Defenseless Nuggets to host fun, high-effort Raptors team appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
Fresh off a strong win on Thursday night, the Blackhawks return home to face the top team in the league on Friday night at the United Center: the Colorado Avalanche.
Colorado is the No. 1 team in the league standings, the best at scoring goals (3.69 per game) and preventing them (2.48 per game), with their superiority further confirmed by the best expected goal share in the league (56.21 percent). The Avs’ only real opponent this season has been boredom. On Jan. 10, they had 73 points in ...
The Toronto Raptors continue their five-game road trip in the mile-high city tonight, facing the Denver Nuggets. This is their second and final matchup of the season, with the first ending in a called-off successful 3-pointer by Ingram as the clock expired that would’ve send the game to overtime on New Year’s Eve: The last […]
If the data that’s collected in the Rockies performance lab in Scottsdale is a tool, then Brandon Stone — Colorado’s manager of performance science — is the handyman holding the toolbox. Stone has run the lab since its inception, which was the same time he joined the organization in January of 2024. Before working for […]

This afternoon, the Colorado Rockies continued to make their spring training transactions as they refine the roster heading into the start of the 2026 season. The following players were assigned to Minor League camp: The decision to reassign Carrigg and Machín does not come as a surprise. Condon, however, was a contender for the first […]
These are the good times. The Lakers are coming off a week in which they beat the Nuggets in their first overtime game of the year and won back-to-back contests over the Rockets, earning the tiebreaker and extending their winning streak to seven. LeBron James is playing better than he has all year, Luka Dončić remains dominant and suddenly, […]
The Olympic break was supposed to return the squad to full-health but the Colorado Avalanche have again endured a rash of injuries over the past couple weeks. Now embarking on a lengthy four-game east coast road trip, there’s optimism many of the following can return in the eight days while they are gone, which would […]
Update: After initially being listed as doubtful for today’s game, Joel Embiid has now been downgraded to out. After doing a nice job picking up two straights wins, including a solid performance against the Blazers on Sunday, it’s hardly surprising the Hospital Sixers faltered against the Nuggets on Tuesday. They were dismantled 124-96, falling behind […]
Fantasy baseball drafting patterns can act as a massive crowdsourced opinion poll. Every season, millions of people participate in drafts where they select the players they think will play well that season. The majority of those draft selections are recorded and publicly accessible in the aggregate. Some skillsets are more valued in fantasy than in […]
With the Major League spring camps winding down, the Minor Leagues will take over the training complexes for their respective teams. To begin that transition, MLB is hosting the third annual Spring Breakout Series in the spring facilities of all 30 MLB clubs. There will be eight games in both the Cactus League and Grapefruit […]
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]. We knew that Brenton Doyle was an elite outfielder before most of baseball figured it out. But who are some of the players on the roster (or on the farm) that you […]
With the trade of Miami Dolphins star wideout Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos, the rumors quickly moved to the idea that De’Von Achane would clearly be the next up to be shipped off for more draft picks in 2026. This was quickly shot down in a report from ESPN’s Adam Shefter (highlighted in Sumeet […]
It’s no World Baseball Classic championship game, but the Colorado Rockies are back in action this afternoon. The Rockies are putting tires to the road and heading to Goodyear, Arizona for a match-up against a split squad Cincinnati Reds. Veteran lefty and off-season acquisition Jose Quintana will be making his third start of camp for […]
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough can add another honor to his resume as it was just announced that he has been selected as the Senior Bowl’s overall Rookie of the Year. Shough joins Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Grey Zabel who was named their NFC Rookie of the Year and Denver Broncos running back RJ […]
If it wasn't enough to get high draft picks in return for Jaylen Waddle, the Miami Dolphins got them to take some of his salary, too.
With the blockbuster trade of Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos, the Miami Dolphins are seemingly in tank mode. Could this mean that other players in Miami (i.e., De’Von Achane) are ripe for the taking? It isn’t as crazy as you may think. There are rumblings around the league that trading Achane could be a […]
Good day friends and happy Wednesday! The Mariners are coming off a split-squad split yesterday, besting the Rockies by a 10-6 final while dropping a game to the Padres 9-6. The ongoing concern in Mariners camp regards the status of J.P. Crawford, whose shoulder imaging came back clean yesterday. However, the M’s are uncertain if […]
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 […]
