Latest news and updates about the Rockies
In the Friday night game discussion, when the Colorado Rockies were being blown out by the Cleveland Guardians, there was some conversation about the effect the Rockies defense had on their overall record. Although I lack the skills to make that correlation, I did wonder how this year’s defense compared to some of the teams […]
The baseball world was slow to recognize the contributions of the greatest players in Colorado Rockies history. When Larry Walker was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame back in 2020, he did so on his 10th and final chance on his last ballot of eligibility. Four years later, Todd Helton got the call in […]
On a day full of celebration at the unveiling of Larry Walker’s new statue outside Coors Field, the Rockies could not keep up the excitement inside.

This morning following the unveiling of the new Larry Walker statue, the Colorado Rockies announced a series of roster moves.

The Colorado Rockies need pitching. That is obvious in 2026, and the picture does not get much clearer looking toward 2027. Colorado’s lack of starting depth has already been exposed. Chase Dollander is recovering from elbow surgery. Tomoyuki Sugano and José Quintana are headed for free agency, while Kyle Freeland’s 2027 option is unlikely to […]
In welcoming the Cleveland Guardians to Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies hoped to break a six-game losing streak that involved being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers. That did not happen as they dropped their seventh consecutive game, losing to the Guardians 9-1. The offense: Mostly MIA There were some walks […]

Two months before the season even started, the Colorado Rockies made one of the best moves for 2026 and, hopefully, beyond. That’s when the Colorado front office brought in a promising first baseman named TJ Rumfield — a prospect who’d never played in MLB — from the New York Yanakees for right-hander Angel Chivilli. Entering Friday’s series […]

It turns out that hiring a first-time pitching coach with an analytics background (and zero playing experience) just didn't work. The post Strike 3: The Rockies need a new, experienced pitching coach appeared first on Mile High Sports .
It’s not controversial to say that the past few seasons of Colorado Rockies baseball have not featured a good offense. A team doesn’t lose more than 100 games based purely on an inability to pitch. It has also failed to score runs. Watching the 2026 team, however, the offense has seemed different. At this point […]
Given it was their final meeting of 2026 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Colorado Rockies wanted to finish this series with a win. Certainly, they put up a good fight — this was their best game of the series — but it wasn’t enough, and the Dodgers won, 6-4, completing the sweep. Before the […]
