Latest blog entries from Denver teams across every league
Sure, it’s too early to start counting on the calendar to determine which White Sox arm is in line for Opening Day on March 26 but … well, OK, I just did. And today’s starter, Shane Smith, going every five days lands him at March 25. So, as makes absolute sense, Shane Smith is your […]
The Colorado Rockies provided injury updates on Monday morning. Two players — INF/OF Kris Bryant and RHP Jeff Criswell — are on the 60-day injured list. Bryant, of course, is dealing with lumbar degenerative disc disease while Criswell is continuing his throwing program on his way back from Tommy John surgery. A new potential addition, […]
Coors Field is a wonderful place to watch a baseball game, the stretch of breweries that lead up to the stadium make for a perfect pregame, and the 2026 Colorado Rockies will in all likelihood stink the joints up to high heaven. I’m a casual follower of the Rockies, considering them my B-team even if […]
4. Cole Carrigg (476 points, 19 ballots) The term “super-utility player” is often employed with hyperbole, but in the case of Carrigg, it fits like a glove (any kind of baseball glove, in Carrigg’s case). The 23-year-old has played literally every position (and played them well) in a college or pro game over the last […]
Shortly before the 2025 All-Star break, a combination of personal tragedy, injury, and on-field struggles had Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle on the back foot. The Rockies’ most-valuable player in 2024 with 4.0 wins above replacement per Baseball Reference, Doyle ended the first half as baseball’s least valuable qualified player. Worth -2.0 rWAR as […]
Today, the Colorado Rockies lost a road game to the Texas Rangers, 9-5. (The Dolly Parton song moves much faster than today’s game did.) For more details, go here. We’re not yet to the point where we’re doing postgame write-ups, but here is some video from today’s game. First, here’s manager Warren Schaeffer: And here’s […]

The Texas Rangers welcome the Colorado Rockies to their spring home in Surprise, Arizona for a Cactus League matchup. The most notable thing about today’s contest is the debut in Texas attire for big lefty offseason acquisition MacKenzie Gore. Opposing Gore and Texas for Colorado will be former Ranger Jimmy Herget, a right-handed reliever who […]
In the first offensive explosion of spring training, when the Rockies totalled 13 hits and scored 11 runs, including a three-hit, three-RBI performance by Brenton Doyle and a homer from Adael Amador, the Rockies beat Arizona 11-6 for their first spring training win on Saturday.

Former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton is back with the Denver Broncos and in the same role was in before the Lions hired him. According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Morton will be the Broncos’ pass game coordinator for the 2026 season. The news certainly isn’t much of a surprise considering there […]
Sure it’s early, and we’re only two games in, and the Colorado Rockies are at a promising .500 after trashing the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier today. I get it: Spring training doesn’t matter. But this is — at least for Rockies fans — an interesting team because anything could happen. (And whatever does happen, at least […]

Record: 1-1. Change on 2025: +1. 5-inning record: 0-2. Yeah, after yesterday’s well-pitched endeavor, this was very much the opposite. It was probably worse than the score actually indicates, since the Diamondbacks put up a crooked number in both the eighth and ninth innings, to leave the final tallies looking more respectable than they deserved […]
After falling to the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 in yesterday’s Cactus League opener, the Colorado Rockies will look to bounce back against the Snakes. Nolan Arenado connected on a home run against former teammate Antonio Senzatela early, and it proved to be the difference late in the game. It also gave fans their first look at […]
Two veteran pitchers with the Colorado Rockies are gearing up for spring training as full-squad workouts began this week. Both are under contract 2026 with a club option for 2027; both are right-handed; and both will be competing in this year’s highly-anticipated edition of the World Baseball Classic. Michael Lorenzen and Antonio Senzatela also provide […]

The Portland Trail Blazers got buried alive in NBA action tonight, falling to the Denver Nuggets 157-103 in their first game after the All-Star break.
