Latest news and updates about the Rockies
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to achieve the baseball equivalent of a Rocky Mountain High Saturday night as they do battle with the Colorado Rockies in game 2 of the weekend series. Matthew Liberatore gets the start for the Cardinals while the Rockies give the baseball to RPH Mason Adams. First pitch is set […]
After dropping the series opener to the St. Louis Cardinals (71-71), the Colorado Rockies (54-87) look for some magic on Harry Potter night at Coors Field. The Rockies seemed to have yesterday’s game in hand, surging to a 6-4 lead after a strong sixth inning and carrying that into the top of the ninth. A […]
The St. Louis Cardinals experienced unprofessional umpiring last night from Doug Eddings, and now his story is not lining up after Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman denied a claim of his that he asked to have Hancel Rincon's hat checked.
The Rockies have officially announced Willi Castro’s placement on the 10-day IL and Vimael Machin’s contract selection, which were both reported earlier today. To create space for Machin on the 40-man roster, the Rox outrighted Tyler Freeman to Triple-A. It hadn’t been publicly known that Freeman had been designated for assignment, but he has now […]
The Colorado Rockies announced today that they have selected the contract of infielder Vimael Machín and outrighted Tyler Freeman to Triple-A Albuquerque after he cleared waivers. Machín has had a successful season for Triple-A Albuquerque. Currently, he is slashing .290/.317/.445 with a .816 OPS. Machín has 190 total bases that include 12 home runs and […]
5:20PM: Machin’s contract selection has been officially announced, and Castro was placed on the 10-day IL (retroactive to September 2) due to what the team termed as left heel inflammation. To create a 40-man roster spot, Tyler Freeman was outrighted to Triple-A (more on this transaction here). 5:06PM: The Rockies will be selecting the contract […]
It was a wild scene in Colorado on Friday night when umpire Doug Eddings decided to call out Rockies rookie pitcher Hancel Rincon for... wait for it... wearing his hat a bit crooked. It all devolved from there, and by the end of it, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol was ejected, the Rockies were granted an undeserved run on a brutal call at the plate, and Eddings is being destroyed all across baseball. Rincon, a 24-year-old from the Dominican, was making his major league debut . In the mi...
Baseball umpires could be known to sometimes have some control issues, but rarely has it ever been taken to the level that Doug Eddings took it on Friday night when the St. Louis Cardinals visited the Colorado Rockies. Eddings stopped play in the sixth inning when he appeared to tell Hancel Rincón, making his Major…
Arizona Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said home plate umpire Doug Eddings made a "power-hungry move" by telling rookie pitcher Hancel Rincon to fix his hat in the middle his MLB debut Friday at the Colorado Rockies.
The Rockies spent much of Friday night letting opportunities slip away, then finally broke through in a four-run sixth inning that turned a 4-1 deficit into a 5-4 lead. TJ Rumfield added insurance with a 441-foot home run an inning later, and the bullpen carried the two-run advantage into the ninth. Then it disappeared. Jordan […]
Game Summary Andrea Pallante pitched 5 stout innings to get the Cardinals started. Gorman, Saggese, Burleson and Walker drove in early runs to stake the Cardinals to an early 4-1 lead. Unfortunately, the Cardinal bullpen melted down yet again, with a disastrous debut by Hancel Rincon, allowing the Rockies to go up 6-4. But a […]
Umpire Doug Eddings missed multiple important calls, had a laughable reason for a pitch violation on Hancel Rincon, and ejected Oliver Marmol in the St. Louis Cardinals game against the Colorado Rockies.
The St. Louis Cardinals head east from California, but not that far east as they’ll land in Denver on Friday for a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. Andre Pallante returns from the injured list to the mound for the Cardinals while the Rockies will give the ball to Ryan Feltner. First pitch is scheduled […]
The Orioles handed Colorado its franchise-record 10th consecutive home loss Monday night when Colton Cowser robbed Jake McCarthy of a potential two-run walk-off home run to preserve a 2-1 Baltimore win. The Rockies responded with a 4-2 win Tuesday before taking Wednesday’s finale 6-5 in 11 innings. Colorado was down to its final strike in […]
Coming off a good series in Los Angeles (any winning series there is good), the Cardinals make their only 2026 trip into Denver this weekend for a three-game set. Grandkids will be in tow as I take in these games in person. The Rockies appear to be playing out the string, prepping more for next […]
The Rockies announced that they have claimed left-hander Hayden Harris off waivers from the Braves. Atlanta designated him for assignment earlier this week. Colorado had an open 40-man roster spot and is assigning Harris to Triple-A Albuquerque, so no corresponding moves are needed. Harris, 27, is a side-arming lefty with a very limited big league […]
The St. Louis Cardinals could get right back in the playoff chase this weekend with a sweep of the Colorado Rockies after they took a series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. If not, their season is likely over.
One of the strengths of the Colorado Rockies this season has been their ability to come back and win games late. They’ve been able to come up clutch and overcome deficits, making baseball more fun this season. Including Wednesday’s 11th-inning walk-off victory, the Rockies have come from behind to win 33 games (compared to 30 […]
Since the Colorado Rockies are enjoying a much-needed day off before welcoming the St. Louis Cardinals to Coors Field on Friday, I figured it could be a good opportunity to pay some attention to the farm system with a game discussion thread, as all four Rockies affiliates are at home this week. We will update […]
Come September, the Rockies become a mirror that show you as you truly are. The post Box Score Banter: The Expandables appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
Purple Row is a fan blog. It’s also a fan blog privileged enough to have access to cover games in person from time to time. Usually when this happens, we talk as a staff about which players the person going to the game should talk to, and what they should ask. This process works, but […]
DENVER—The Orioles’ trip to Coors Field ended in the most painful way possible when, after taking a two-run lead in the top of the 11th, reliever Grant Wolfram allowed three runs in the bottom of the inning for a 6-5 loss before 15,616 on Wednesday. Brett Sullivan’s two-run single was the game-winner. After Colton Cowser […]
A team that wants to stay in the postseason race can’t lose a game like this one. The Orioles faced a Rockies starting pitcher, in Coors Field, with an ERA over 5. They had their own starting pitcher, Trevor Rogers, set a career high with 11 strikeouts over an excellent start that took him into […]
The Baltimore Orioles are competing for an American League Wild Card position. They surely entered Colorado against a lackluster Rockies team hoping to at least win two out of three games, and possibly even earn a sweep. Instead, the Orioles suffered a brutal walk-off loss in the series finale on Wednesday, a defeat that led […] The post Orioles suffer brutal walk-off loss amid playoff push as Rockies play spoiler appeared first on ClutchPoints .
For the first time since June 22, the Colorado Rockies delivered a walk-off win as they defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 in extra innings. After quality pitching from both starters, the Rockies ended up rallying multiple times down to their last strike to secure the victory and win the series. Top-notch Tomo After struggling through […]
