Latest news and updates about the Rockies
When mulling what position Willi Castro plays for the Colorado Rockies, perhaps there is a better question to ask. Just what position does the 29-year-old switch hitter not play? So far this season, Castro—in his first year of a two-year contract with the Rockies—has been penciled in the lineup and seen action at six different […]
The Baltimore Orioles are making a push for the final wild card spot in the American League. The Orioles just added Luis Robert Jr. off waivers in an effort to boost the roster. One Monday night, the Orioles got a much-needed victory over the Colorado Rockies. It got the O’s back to .500 on the […] The post Adam Jones declares Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser’s game-saving HR robbery 1 of best catches ever appeared first on ClutchPoints .
They don't give style points in baseball, but if you were scoring Orioles-Rockies, you'd want to break out a second, third, maybe even a fourth color of pen to decorate the box with Colton Cowser's ninth-inning catch to save the game for Baltimore. Maybe some tempera as well. You can't make that "F8" pretty enough. All home-run robberies are special, but they come in flavors. On most, the fielder is totally vertical—having had time to settle on the track for a towering fly ball, and lofting...
It’s the first day of September, which means rosters expand by two spots. The Padres are calling up top catching prospect Ethan Salas for one of those openings. More notable prospect additions could be on the way. 1. Cowser saves the day The Rockies thought they had a walk-off win when Jake McCarthy drove an […]
Thanks to a rain delay, it wasn’t until 1 a.m. ET that the game between the Baltimore Orioles and Colorado Rockies finally finished in the Mile High City. But for the Orioles fans that stayed up late into the evening, it was definitely worth the wait. The Orioles held a 2-1 lead with two outs…
As it turns out, 2026 has been a surprisingly strong year for the Colorado Rockies bullpen. Through August 29th, Rockies relievers have been worth 3.0 fWAR, which is 15th in MLB. Their 4.81 ERA is not terrific, but it comes in 26th in baseball. (Given that their xERA was 4.80, the bullpen has performed about […]

DENVER—Colton Cowser ran back toward the center-field wall as quickly as he could. He timed his jump perfectly and had his glove above the wall when he snared Jake McCarthy’s drive to prevent it from being a game-winning home run for the Colorado Rockies. Instead, it was an incredible catch and a thrilling win for […]
For a few moments, it looked like Jake McCarthy had hit a walk-off home run that would have given the Rockies a 3-2 win in a game that ended four hours and 33 minutes after it started. But it wasn’t meant to be. McCarthy’s bomb with two outs in the bottom of the ninth was […]
It’s just one of those things, I guess. The Orioles are playing some of their best ball of the season. The offense has been hot lately. They’ve been dispatching competitive teams, and moving up in the Wild Card chase. And so of course they’d travel to the thin air of Denver, where they’d face the […]

Folks, Orioles baseball is getting quite interesting of late. The Birds have been playing capable, credible baseball, and now they’re within one game of the last Wild Card. The offense is, maybe not humming, but it’s providing thump and interest. And lots of power: the Orioles have 31 home runs in their last 18 games. […]

It’s crazy how quickly things can change in Major League Baseball. A week ago, it felt like the Braves’ entire season was slipping away. Seven wins later, they’re right back in the conversation for the No. 1 seed in the National League. The Braves are coming off back-to-back sweeps of the Dodgers and Rockies, highlighted […]
There are 25 games remaining to the Orioles and they get to play the next three of them against the team with the worst record in all of MLB. That’s the Colorado Rockies, a team that has been down and out for quite some time. They haven’t had a winning season from 2019 to the […]
Managing all of the Colorado Rockies gear is a big task, one that falls to Mike “Tiny” Pontarelli, Assistant Director of the Major League Clubhouse. (You may remember from earlier this season, Renee Dechert wrote about the Rockies’ home run coat. In that interview, she spoke Pontarelli about how the clubhouse manages and cares for […]
If there is one thing about the Atlanta Braves, they currently enjoy dramatic baseball. Fortunately, they also enjoy winning baseball. Matt Olson provided the latest chapter with a walk-off hit to earn the Braves a 3-2 victory and a series sweep over the Rockies. Tyler Mahle once again looked fantastic, while both Sean Murphy and […]
For most of the season, my attention stays pretty firmly on the Colorado Rockies. That will not change down the stretch, but the losses are starting to stack up again. The Rockies are 4-11 over their last 15 games, and that can get frustrating. Sometimes it is nice to look up and see what else […]
What a difference a week makes, right? Around this time last week, the Atlanta Braves were looking to simply get the train back on the tracks by salvaging a win from a series loss against the Brewers. They’d lost three full series in a row and the Phillies were red hot. It was getting too […]
The Colorado Rockies and Atlanta Braves wrapped up their season series today, one that was tilted fully in favor of the Braves.

The Atlanta Braves once again left it late but they still got the job done and were able to break out the brooms one more time. Thanks to a Matt Olson RBI single in extra innings, the Braves are now winners of seven-straight games following a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. This time, we […]
