The Colorado Rockies are struggling. That line is something that has been all too common over the course of the last four years. For Rockies fans, its getting old. The question is, why does this team have so much talent, yet lack the ability to put it all together early in the season? It's the reason that Clint Hurdle, barely a season removed from taking a youthful team ...

At any point in the history of the Colorado Rockies if three of the projected five starting pitchers had gone on the disabled list, the Rockies could have kissed their season goodbye. 2010 is a different year for the Rockies. On Saturday night, Jhoulys Chacin, who was helped by a six-run first inning, gave a glimpse into what can happen when a team decides to build from ...

Bobby Valentine was in Japan too long. Less than a week ago the Baseball Tonight analyst declared if the Cy Young had to be given out after a single month, the only two National League pitchers in the competition were the Mets Mike Pelfrey and the Phillies Roy Halladay. Good thing Valentine's vote didn't count. On Monday, the league announced that Ubaldo Jimenez was the N.L. Pitcher of the month in ...

The Rockies have been to the playoffs two of the last three years. They have one of the best lineups in baseball. They have an ace who is 4-0 and has an ERA well below 1.00. They have respect from around the league. Judging by the way the Rockies are playing, it would be easy to guess that these Rockies are less like a playoff team, and more like the Rockies ...

Could someone please fix the humidor? The Rockies lost 12-11 on Wednesday after slamming their way back into a game in which they were down by six runs before they recorded a single out. Greg Smith pitched all of one inning, giving up six earned runs on four hits and three walks. It was the exactly opposite of what the Rockies needed from him in the rubber match of the three-game series. Despite ...

When you face Dan Haren, you have to be perfect. So essentially the Rockies were done after Jason Hammel gave up three runs in the top of the first inning. The Diamondbacks went on to win 5-3. Hammel looked like he was going to be just fine. He got two quick outs, then was up on Justin Upton 0-2 before walking him, giving up a single to Mark ...

The Rockies lackluster performance in game one of the doubleheader on Saturday was made up for in game two. The club split the two games with the Marlins, dropping the first one 4-1, before winning the second game 8-1 behind a complete game performance from former ace Aaron Cook. The second game allowed Rockies fans to breathe a sigh of relief, not just because the club got back to .500 with the ...

Welcome to Colorado. Opening Day on April 9 was absolutely perfect, 70 degrees and sunny, with all of the signs of spring in the air. Colorado is notorious for tricking people into believing that summer is here, then sending a mocking snowstorm as a reminder that summer is really another month off. On Friday morning Denver's weather looked more like the Broncos should have been playing rather than the Rockies, but ...

Usually when a team puts up 10 runs in a baseball game it is cause for celebration. Especially when that team has been struggling to score runs over the previous week. Tuesday was not a usual day for the Rockies. A 10-4 win over the Nationals was not met with loud music and cheerfulness. This night is not about being happy. After receiving word around noon that team president, and friend ...
