Get your brooms out, friends, because the Colorado Rockies are looking to sweep the Houston Astros at Coors Field! Extraordinary pitching and timely hitting have nabbed the first two games of the series for the Rockies, who are now a surprising 5-6 on the young season and aim for a .500 record for the first […]
Old habits die hard. A major issue for the Colorado Rockies during their seven-season losing streak has been the offense. In particular, especially over the last three seasons, poor plate discipline has hindered the team that has been largely defined by an overabundance of strikeouts. In 2025, the team ranked second in baseball with 1,531 […]
The league’s best offense decided to take the night off as Astros pitching, defense continue to struggle. It was a night to forget for the Astros offense, who managed just 1 run on 3 hits with one walk against Rockies pitchers Kyle Freeland and Antonio Senzatela, as Houston loses its second straight game in Denver, […]
In the series opening on Monday night, the Colorado Rockies managed to outlast the Houston Astros after a big fifth inning. Tonight in Game 2, they picked up where they left off, defeating the Astros 5-1. It was a night of stellar pitching from starter Kyle Freeland and tonight’s closer Antonio Senzatela as well as […]
Good afternoon everyone! The Colorado Rockies have been off to a decent start so far with plenty of lows but also some highs. They are 4-6, which is a much better start than the 3-17 one they got off to last year. With more intrigue around the team comes with more interest and more eyes. […]
It was an inning Joe Espada, Ryan Weiss, and (most surprisingly) Jeremy Pena would like to forget. All things considered, things were going about as well as could possibly be hoped for the Houston Astros through the first four innings of Monday’s game. They built a 3-0 lead through the first four innings thanks to […]
If you ask Colorado Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer to discuss the team’s decision to call pitches from the dugout, he will politely, but firmly, issue a correction. “It’s pitch suggesting.” The nomenclature matters, a point Thomas Harding made back in the waning days of spring training. First, if the coaching staff is calling pitches, the […]
Forget the 9-9-9 challenge. The Rockies completed the 14-8-5 challenge on Monday night. The Rockies sent 14 batters to the plate and scored eight runs in the fifth inning to go from trailing 3-0 to surging ahead 8-3 on their way to an ultimate 9-7 win against the Astros. Juan Mejia closed out the game […]

Coming off a 4-1 win over the Phillies on Sunday to prevent a home opener sweep, the Rockies also have more good news in the form of Ryan Feltner being able to take the mound today. Feltner looked sharp against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31. He’d thrown three scoreless innings with four strikeouts, […]
The Phillies’ western swing started out well with the team scoring seven runs in the first inning of Friday’s game against the Rockies. Unfortunately, the offense largely dried up throughout the remainder of the series The Phillies will try to get their bats going again when they travel to San Francisco for a three-game series […]
I’m not a huge fan of the Nationals or the Rockies. They’re bad teams that are annoying to watch, but the Phillies need to play them thanks to the MLB schedule. This past week, the Phillies were supposed to win a series against each team, yet were only able to accomplish that against one of […]
The Houston Astros announced that Cody Bolton will make the start for them tonight against the Colorado Rockies in Denver. The 28-year old journeyman made his first appearance for the Astros on March 31, picking up a 3 inning save against the Boston Red Sox. It was Bolton’s first career save. Now he will get […]
In what could well be a wire-to-wire race in the A.L. West, every game matters. A year ago, multiple losses to the Rockies and White Sox cost the Astros a post season berth, sealing their fate in hindsight. Jack Corrigan is in his 41st year calling games in the majors, his 24th with Colorado. […]
TJ Rumfield has had a whirlwind spring. First, he was traded from the New York Yankees to the Colorado Rockies in January in exchange for reliever Angel Chivilli. Then, he absolutely tore through spring training — hitting .286/.359/.554 with five home runs in 23 games. Additionally, he had more walks (5) than strikeouts (2). That […]
The Colorado Rockies are now through 12 games of the 2026 season. While we are clearly still working with small sample sizes in terms of performance data, which offseason MLB acquisition do you think has been the most successful so far? Consider some of the choices: This is probably a question we’ll return to as […]
The Colorado Rockies successfully avoided the sweep in their first home series of the season, putting away the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Very strong pitching—a key theme through most of the nascent season thus far—helped the Rockies keep the Phillies at bay while three home runs from Rockies bats powered them […]
The Phillies were going for a sweep over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Sunday. But two home runs by Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak and a second straight day of quiet offense from the Phillies allowed the Rockies to avert the sweep as they beat the Phillies 4-1. Taijuan Walker was looking to rebound […]
Happy Easter! In addition to candy, the Phillies are hoping the bunny gives them a sweep as they conclude their series against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon. They’ll hope that Taijuan Walker can do better in his second start of the season after a rough outing against the Nationals. He oddly has good career […]
The Colorado Rockies finished their first week and have scored 26 total runs. While that sounds like a good amount, 14 of those runs came in Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Otherwise, they’ve been held to 12 total runs and have been held to three or fewer runs in every other game. They’re […]
Do you feel déjà vu? As was often the case in the two series against the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays, the Colorado Rockies wasted wonderful pitching with atrocious hitting. Strikeouts and men left on base loomed large, as the Rox had their chances only to come up just one run short as the […]
