DENVER – Well before the season even began, the 2017 version of the Colorado Rockies were defined by their remarkably young, yet clearly talented, starting pitching rotation. From the offseason when the possibility of acquiring a veteran for the staff was a major talking point among fans and the media, to the first day of spring training — and then the regular season — to the moment you are reading this, questions have been raised about how far Colorado can go considering their...

Rockies Gerardo Parra sits with swollen calf | MLB.com
On Saturday, it seemed like Gerardo Parra was just getting the day off. Then the Rockies held Parra out of the lineup on Sunday, too. Now we know why. He was suffering from a minor injury, a bruised calf. He's not expected to land on the disabled list.

Bettis’ command wavered on Sunday but he took a big step forward with his best secondary pitch.
SALT LAKE CITY—In one major area, Chad Bettis’ 63-pitch rehab start for the Albuquerque Isotopes on Sunday night was a success.
“It feels a lot better,” a smiling Bettis said of his curve ball, which operated at 71-73 mph and induced several awkward swings from the Salt Lake Bees’ lineup in a 9-8 win for the Isotopes. “It was something I really wanted to have be a big step here...
Parra is hotter than Georgia asphalt (only in Colorado) right now. But how long will it last, and what will he offer the fantasy player from here to October?
Rockies right-hander Chad Bettis' rehab start Sunday night for Triple-A Albuquerque at Salt Lake City wasn't the smoothest. But it provided information as he continues his comeback from testicular cancer, which has kept him out of the Majors this season.
A loud out can be a pushy motivator. After Trevor Story ripped a line drive to the left side in the fourth inning Sunday, only to have it swept up by Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer, the Rockies’ second-year slugger grew eager. “It’s not always fun when you get hits taken away from you,” Story said. “But it kind of gives you a boost for the next at-bat. And it was a good at-bat, the next one.” Two innings later, Story blasted another hit in the same direction, only higher and...
As collective velocities and strikeouts rise across the baseball landscape, Kyle Freeland is OK with being grounded, in every sense of the word.
The Rockies and Cardinals open a three-game series on Monday at Busch Stadium to wrap their 2017 regular season slate. Colorado took two of three from the Cardinals in Denver during the final weekend of May, outscoring them, 18-7.
Riding another strong performance from rookie left-hander Kyle Freeland, and supplemented with an offensive outburst, the Rockies powered to a 13-3 on Sunday at Coors Field to clinch their first home series win over the Pirates since July 2014.
A nagging apprehension still nibbled at the Rockies on Sunday morning, easily explained by seven seasons without even a hint at the postseason, six of them on the losing side of even. If hope dies by annual installments in Colorado, it finds life in a flash. Kyle Freeland, the Rockies’ rookie southpaw, saw so many summers tick away into the trivial while growing up in Denver, but with every weak ground ball he forced from the Pittsburgh Pirates‘ lineup Sunday, any leftover despair this...
The Colorado Rockies can kill two birds with one trip to St. Louis. They head to the Gateway City for three games with the Cardinals starting Monday. First, they can give themselves a chance to pick up at least one easy win in the series (and probably a series win). More importantly, they can grab a frontline starter they very much need if they are going to make a run to and in the National League playoffs. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Sunday reported that the Cardinals are “open for...
Mark Reynolds hit two of the Rockies’ five home runs in Sunday’s win
The Rockies hit five home runs in a 13-3 drubbing of the Pirates today. The win gave the Rockies the series and wrapped up a successful 5-1 home stand.
Kyle Freeland got off to a great start. He held the Pirates hitless through the first two innings, which caused some serious as well as not so serious whispering about him tossing a no-hitter. In the top of the second, Freeland helped himself in that cause with an...
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies won back to back ballgames and ended with a 5-1 six game homestand as they pounded the Pirates 13-3 on Sunday afternoon. Colorado has now powered themselves to 74 runs on 98 hits in the past seven ballgames. Kyle Freeland, who is right at home in his hometown of Denver with a 2.78 ERA at Coors Field after his performance against Pittsburgh threw six strong, allowing just six hits en route to another really solid performance. The young lefty nabbed win No. 10...
Four different Rockies left the yard a total of five times on Sunday afternoon against Ivan Nova and the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 13-3 victory in the series finale at Coors Field. The win secured a series win for Colorado, their 19th series win of the season. After game No. 100 of the season and No. 50 at Coors Field, Colorado is 58-42 overall and 31-19 at home. The Rockies pounded out 15 hits on the day, including nine against Nova (10-7, 3.62). Charlie Blackmon (24), Trevor Story (13), Pat...
Kyle Freeland keeps finding new ways to amaze Rockies fans. He did it again in the second inning of Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Fans will remember his first Major League win, which came against the NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers in the Rockies’ 2017 home opener. He wowed them at the plate with his first career home run against Cincinnati back in May. They surely won’t forget his near no-hitter to close out the first half of the 2017 season against the Chicago White...
A bruised right calf shelved Gerardo Parra from the starting lineup for the second straight day on Sunday, though the Rockies outfielder is expected to dodge the disabled list.
Rockies catcher Tony Wolters bolted from his crouch to barehand the weak roller from the Pirates' Starling Marte on Friday night. His throw -- balletic, if awkward in catcher's gear -- was reminiscent of his days as a middle infielder.
The walk rate for some Rockies pitchers are at an alarming rate. The Rockies pitching staff has walked 348 batters entering Sunday, which is fifth-worst in all of baseball. This equates to 3.5 walks per nine innings. This is particularly bad for pitchers Adam Ottavino, Tyler Chatwood, Mike Dunn, Greg Holland, Scott Oberg, and Jon […] Colorado Rockies: Bud Black talks about high walk rates - Rox Pile - Rox Pile - A Colorado Rockies Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More
Freeland has not made a start since July 9 when he nearly threw a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox on the Sunday before the All-Star break. On Sunday, Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland will return to the rotation to face the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. He was briefly moved to the bullpen to reduce his […] Colorado Rockies: Kyle Freeland returns to the starting rotation - Rox Pile - Rox Pile - A Colorado Rockies Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More
