In 2024, a 17-year-old second baseman from Bonao in the Dominican Republic had a solid, if unremarkable season with the Colorado Rockies’ Dominican Summer League. The unranked, relatively unknown prospect hit .254/.360/.314 with nine doubles, a triple, and 24 stolen bases over 54 games, playing roughly 60 miles away from his home town at the […]

on the worst "trying" team in baseball The Rockies, despite sweeping the Nats, are historically bad. They are on pace for 37 wins. There literally should be calls from the game to replace the owner because things are so non-competitive in Denver. The White Sox are in a similar spot, Reinsdorf aging into a worse version of himself as owner often do stuck with a "back in my day we didn't pay players so much" mentality, trying to squeeze every last dollar from the team for...

The last time Sandy Alcantara stood on the pitcher’s mound at Coors Field on August 6, 2021, then-manager Don Mattingly took the ball from his ace in what, to this day, remains a career-worst outing. Lasting just 3.2 innings, the future unanimous NL Cy Young coughed up 10 runs on 10 hits, surrendering 3 home runs. By Game Score - of which Sandy totaled a score of 0 - it was and s...

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports The Marlins couldn’t take full advantage of their scoring opportunities in Monday’s loss. The Marlins traveled to the Mile High City for game one of a four-game set against the Colorado Rockies. Playing at Coors field poses a big threat to the Marlins pitching staff as it is the most hitter-friendly park in baseball, but the high altitude works both ways. It is set to be an exciting series. A quick start Jon Berti wasted no time getting things starte...

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports The Rockies lock up the skilled defender on a long-term deal. The Rockies are in agreement on a six-year, $70 million extension with infielder Ryan McMahon, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. This move continues an interesting offseason spending spree for Colorado, which has also extended right-hander Antonio Senzatela and first baseman C.J. Cron, signed shortstop José Iglesias and reliever Alex Colomé to one-year deals, and inked former MVP Kris Bryant to a ...

Hey baseball fans! With 2020 coming to an end, the 2021 Hall of Fame class is the only thing on my mind. So, let's talk about some of the potential members of the class and why they should get in, starting with the guy who I think is the most underrated on the ballot: Todd Helton. I think the lifelong member of the Colorado Rockies from 1997-2013 and friend of Peyton Manning (they both went to Tennessee) deserves a spot in Cooperstown, but his sub-30% performance on last year's ballot do...

Hey baseball fans! Thus far into the abridged 2020 MLB season, it seems that former and present members of the Colorado Rockies (DJ LeMahieu and Charlie Blackmon) are some of the best hitters in baseball in terms of batting average. DJ is now on the Yankees, but when he played a mile above sea level, he did, in fact, win a batting title. But why are hitters on the Rockies so good? The answer is simple, and I kind of already hinted at it when I said "a mile above sea level." That's right: it's ...
