Perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself. Perhaps I’m thinking that the team might channel their inner June of 2009 Rockies and be practically effective against the sub-.500 Detroit Tigers, Offseason Big Spenders (TM). Prince Fielder earned hisself a nice large $214M contract for the next 9 years, and he’s rewarding the Tigers thus far with [...]
Spring is over in 5 days so, it’s high time that I began revealing the Purple Row Prospects (PuRPs) list for Spring 2011, as voted on right before the June draft. I will reveal these prospects five at a time to give people who aren’t in the know a little bit more of information on [...]

I have this buddy named Derek. Derek and I went to college together, and we bonded over a common love for the Colorado Rockies and the high level of humor your average college student enjoys from Adult Swim. One fine summer evening in 2005 when the Rockies were facing the San Diego Padres, Derek and [...]
Rockies 2, Athletics 8 The Rockies got swept, at home, by an AL West team, again. Jarrod Parker pitched very well, and the A’s offense hit Alex White and Josh Roenicke well. The Rockies defense played poorly and the offense was nearly silenced until a two run rally in the ninth made the score look [...]

ed. Thanks to user Muzia for helping us out today with a Pebble Report! AAA Reno 13, Colorado Springs 5 In the premier pitching matchup of the day across the minors between Diamondbacks stud Trevor Bauer and Rockies (hopeful) stud Drew Pomeranz, both pitchers were hit pretty hard. Pomeranz was efficient, pitching into the sixth [...]
I’m out of town in an exotic, hostile place, with limited time and Internet access, and as that’s the case, today’s Rockpile will be brief, as I have to post a game thread as well before diving back into the world American opera. Troy Tulowitzki had an injury setback in AAA. It seems every god [...]

Remember when we were good in interleague play? Yeahhhhhh. The offenses for both teams got started quickly. Seth Smith hit a two run home run in the first off of Josh Outman, always an interesting case when two players were traded for each other. The Rockies rebounded in the bottom of the inning with five [...]
