Austin Gomber and Germán Márquez have both […]

Even after the worst season in franchise history, I still miss baseball. In the offseason, there are plenty of other sports to watch that keep you entertained, but it’s not the same as baseball.

It all happened fast. A Sunday afternoon in May saw the Colorado Rockies pounding the San Diego Padres 9-3 and preparing to get on a plane to play the Texas Rangers. Bud Black was late to his post-game media scrum, and the air was weird. Something was going on, but no one was sure what. […]

Maybe it’s Blake Street Bomber nostalgia. Maybe it’s missing power hitters like Todd Helton, Carlos Gozález, prime Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story. Maybe it’s just wanting to have a fun, competitive baseball team again. But after each season, especially as Arenado and Story left town, I feel like it’s become my after-season tradition […]
