Colorado Rockies news and links for Saturday, September 24, 2022
Mired in their fourth straight losing season, the Colorado Rockies have tested the patience of their fans in recent years. A huge payday to Kris Bryant in the off-season has kicked-off to a truly terrible start, they’re pacing for one of the worst road records in franchise history and the offense has been generally anemic, especially by Coors Field standards.
But while the...
Alan Trejo's RBI single with one out in the 10th inning gave the Colorado Rockies a 4-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday night in Denver. Randal Grichuk homered among his two hits, Yonathan Daza also had two hits and Daniel Bard (6-4) pitched two scoreless innings of relief for the win for Colorado.

Alan Trejo’s game-winner made sure Ezequiel Tovar’s impressive debut ended on a high note
Ezequiel Tovar was very impressive in his MLB debut, and Colorado’s pitching staff was able to keep San Diego’s lineup at bay for most of Friday’s contest. It seemed they may be in danger of a late loss, but Alan Trejo was the extra-innings hero and made sure Rockies fans would celebrate Fireworks Night with a win.

It’s #tovartime to #letthekidsplay
It is officially #tovartime.
The exciting shortstop prospect, ranked #1 PuRP and #2 in MLB PIpeline, is set to make his MLB debut when he bats eighth in Friday’s lineup as the Colorado Rockies start their final homestand of the 2022 season against the San Diego Padres. It’s part of Colorado’s continued youth movement that he’s seen the likes of Sean Bouchard, Gavin Hollowell, Wynton Bernard, and Michael Toglia...

Even though it’s been 50 years since Roberto Clemente died tragically trying to deliver food and aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua, his legacy lives on. The amazingly talented baseball player was just as dedicated to helping others if not more than baseball.
Stories of his impact were seen around the country on Roberto Clemente Day on...

José Ureña lacks run support; has now allowed four runs in his last 17 innings
For Rockies faithful, this game is better evaluated on the hit totals. San Francisco 10, Colorado 9.
This would suggest far different than a shutout that ensued at Coors Field this afternoon.
A valiant start by José Ureña, now holding a 2.12 ERA over his last three starts, was not enough for a lack of offense with runners in scoring position. Colorado went a...
The Colorado Rockies placed second baseman Brendan Rodgers on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hamstring strain. The move is retroactive to Monday.

Ezequiel Tovar is not in the starting lineup, but is available off the bench for his potential MLB debut
Dare we say... an MLB debut off the bench?
Phenom shortstop Ezequiel Tovar was recently called up by the Rockies, and his debut is inevitable over the next few days. He is not in the starting lineup for this afternoon’s game, but he could be available as a later-inning sub.
(At this point in the season, his debut could come in an outright start...

Colorado Rockies news and links for Thursday, September 22nd, 2022
For months now fans of the Colorado Rockies have been tantalized with idea of “Tovar Time:” the day in which the organization’s no. 2 prospect and no. 28 MLB-wide prospect Ezequiel Tovar would be called up for his major league debut. There was clamoring for his call-up before the All-Star Break, only to have those hopes denied by a nagging groin injury as fans ticked...

Montero homers to prevent shutout, but Webb and SF bullpen dominates
The Giants recorded three times more hits and six times more runs than the Rockies did on a rainy and chilly night at Coors Field on Wednesday. Add two errors and it’s almost surprising the score wasn’t worse. Meanwhile, San Francisco is 10-5 against the Rockies this season.
One-hit WebbThe Rockies offense was quite delayed, just like the start of the game. Through five innings, starter Logan...
Tovar has a strong reputation for his speed, bat-to-ball skills and shortstop defense.

Rockies are 9-24 against the Giants in 2021 and 2022. Can they get win 10 tonight?
For the last two seasons, the Rockies have struggled mightily against the Giants.
In 2021, the Giants were 107-55 and actually beat out the Dodgers for the NL West crown. Last season, the Rockies went 4-15 against San Francisco. This year, the Giants are 71-77, which is seven games ahead of the Rockies, but 32 games back in the NL West and 9.5 back in the NL Wild Card race. Even...

Do me a favor and watch the video below from Bard’s 32nd save of the season in the final game of the Rockies’ Chicago road trip. In particular, focus on the first two pitches. Both of them are strikeouts looking on sliders over the outside corner.

Kyle Freeland had a solid start and C.J. Cron did his best to back him up, but the Giants prevailed at Coors once again
The San Francisco Giants were once again too much for the Colorado Rockies to overcome on Tuesday. Their bullpenning effort kept Colorado’s bats quiet (minus C.J. Cron), and the Coors faithful were once again left wanting as their team fell 6-3.
An odd opening salvoKyle Freeland allowed the game’s first run, but it was one in which the box...

The Rockies will try to shake off the sting of last night’s loss with a return to the win column on Tuesday
Last night’s 10-7 loss was a tough pill for the Colorado Rockies to swallow as it officially dashed their (admittedly precarious) playoff aspirations. Now they play only for themselves and their fans, and will try to end the season on a high note starting with their second clash with the visiting San Francisco Giants on Tuesday.

The Rockies’ thinking seems fairly straightforward.
As the 2022 season winds down, let’s turn back the clock and reconsider the Colorado Rockies’ decision to DFA Colton Welker back in early July.
The Rockies announced today that have selected the contract of RHP José Ureña and have optioned RHP Justin Lawrence to Triple-A. Additionally, INF Colton Welker has been designated for assignment.
Ureña will wear #51.

As of Monday night, the Colorado Rockies have been mathematically eliminated from the 2022 postseason.
The fate of elimination was pretty much inevitable at some point this week — the club entered Monday 16 games out of a wildcard spot with 16 to play — but with the fate now sealed, the conversation officially turns to what is left.
It’s time to play spoiler: against...
The San Francisco Giants took their lumps against their heated rivals over the weekend, and the aftereffects of the three-game sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers were evident early in their Monday contest.
