In their second game of a six-game roadtrip, the Rockies will look to add to their win column.

Coming off a three-game stand in Toronto that saw the Colorado Rockies go 1-2 with a season record of 4-12, the team will head south to The Land of Nolan Jones to take on the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Phillies have had an okay, if un-flashy, start. Currently, they are 8-8, two games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. With the caveat that stats at...

The One True Rockies Father-Son Duo

The hype around young MLB prospects in recent years is continuing with the Baltimore Orioles calling up super-prospect Jackson Holliday. Jackson comes from a talented family, as his father Matt Holliday was a 15-year MLB vet who only retired in 2018.

Colorado Rockies news and links for Monday, April 15th, 2024

While the Colorado Rockies starting rotation is still bad—mired in the muck of a rotten start in which their dead-last ranked combined ERA is almost a full point worse than the 29th ranked team—it’s important to look to the farm system and towards a hopeful future.

Last week I pointed out that Chase Dollander and a group of 2023 drafted starting pitchers across the...
