According to CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman, the Colorado Rockies are out there actively trying to improve their team (as they should be for god’s sake). He says that while they did make an offer to Michael Cuddyer, they are also going pretty hard after Carlos Beltran. “#rockies are making a push for carlos beltran. they [...]
When the Colorado Rockies decided to ship out Ubaldo Jimenez, the centerpiece of their compensation was a young pitcher named Drew Pomeranz. Pomeranz was the fifth-overall pick in the draft in 2010 and is obviously someone the Rockies have high hopes for. So, it doesn’t help when they find out that their young lefty was [...]
We hear about athletes testing positive for PED’s quite a bit. But, it’s usually masking agents or other banned substances. Now, we have someone testing positive for HGH.

The Colorado Rockies learned tonight that they would be without the services of all-world first baseman Todd Helton against the Philadelphia Phillies Thursday night.

It’s funny that NFL players get paid way less than MLB players. And all we heard about all year long in the NFL was about concussions and retired players dying from their football-related ailments. And in baseball, we get…this. The Colorado Rockies have place pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez on the DL with a cracked cuticle on [...]

The Atlanta Braves are in the thick of an intense Wild Card race. With the NL East already wrapped up by the Philadelphia Phillies, they need to keep pace with the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies (but not so much). In short, they can’t afford to be taking on water. [...]
Remember when Pablo Sandoval was a force in the San Francisco Giants lineup? No one else can remember back that far either, so don’t worry about it. But, yeah, he’s been brutal lately. So brutal, in fact, that he now seems to be headed to the bench. That’s especially bad when you consider that the [...]

Young Los Angeles Dodgers sensation Clayton Kershaw got thoroughly roughed up by the Milwaukee Brewers this week, giving up seven runs in 1 1/3 innings. Ouch.

The legend of Jason Heyward is continuing to grow. The Atlanta Braves outfielder was up in the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday with two outs against the Rockies with his team down a run. He was facing tough lefty Frankline Morales who just smoked a fastball on the edge of the plate to [...]

He’s from Staten Island. He’s a New York type of guy. He’ll probably be coming off the best season he’s ever had.” But do [...]
The Colorado Rockies know a lot of things. And apparently, they know pitching. We know this because they have signed former Phillie and former Oriole Adam Eaton to a Triple-A contract. With the Orioles this year he had a 8.56 ERA and 28/19 K/BB. The Orioles pitching is 100% crap and they decided that Eaton [...]
