While all signs point to Roy Oswalt joining the team this week, most likely Thursday against the Nationals, the question remains: whose place will he take. The guesses range from Corpas to Scahill, Nicasio to Francis. While there is no shortage of pitchers needing a "refresher course", few can help themselves as much as those on the bubble. Both Francis and Nicasio are barely hanging on to their starting jobs ... [MORE]

The Rockies will take on the Blue Jays (or Miami Marlins North if you prefer) today at 5:07.  Not sure about the funky starting time. One can only assume it has to do with the fact that the Canadian dollar is slightly different than an actual Dollar in value.  Perhaps the Canadian minute is the same. ROCKIES LINEUP 1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF 2. DJ LeMahieu (R) 2B 3. Carlos Gonzalez (L) DH 4. Michael ... [MORE]

Can't say it better than TJinPhoenix:  Nothin' better than a cold beer and Baseball for Fathers Day with our Colorado Rockies teeing-it up against the Philadephia Phillies in the rubber game of a 3-game series at 2:10 pm MDT at Coors Field in Denver.  Jhoulys Chacin (4-2, 4.52) is looking to play Big Daddy for the home team, and Cole Hamels (2-9, 4.45) will be looking for some better luck ...

Tough losses are a dime a dozen.  The Colorado Rockies have rebounded from their share in 2013, and another recovery is in order after a blown a 5-run lead to the Philadelphia Phillies on Fan Friday.  Tyler Chatwood (3-1, 2.14) returns from a right-arm triceps strain to execute that chore in a 2:10 pm MDT start opposing Philadelphia's Jonathan Pettibone (3-2, 3.70) this afternoon at Coors Field in Denver.  The ...

Michael Cuddyer is back in the familiar-five spot in today's lineup for the final game, and rubber match, against the Nationals.  Last nights game was pretty much horrible, with the Rockies only producing three hits (two of those from Herrera) and losing 5-1.  Today Jeff Francis will take the bump and Tuesdays hero, Tyler Colvin, will take a seat. ROCKIES LINEUP 1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF 2. Jordan Pacheco (R) 1B 3. ... [MORE]

Why mess with a good thing, or so the saying goes. When it comes to Tyler Colvin and his order in the lineup, Walt Weiss has shown he likes the fresh-faced kid back where he was last night: hitting 7th.  Colvin finished the game with two home runs and four RBI's in last nights 8-3 win over the Nationals. Tonight will be the second of three and there was some question ... [MORE]

The Washington Nationals have been big news lately, but more for who's off the field as opposed to what they are doing on it.  Today saw a pic tweeted of Bryce Harper at the airport with a massive leg brace after his 2nd opinion appointment.  It goes without saying he won't be taking the field tonight.  Nor will Strasburg, thankfully, as he is on the DL and not slated to ...

The Colorado Rockies are looking to break-even in the their weekend series with the San Diego Padres before an off-day and a week featuring matches with the National League East second echelon Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies.  Colorado sends-out right-hander Juan Nicasio (4-2, 4.76) against Padres' lefty Clayton Richard (1-5, 8.38) for the 2:10 pm MDT contest at Coors Field in Lower Downtown Denver. Nicasio is now three starts removed from ... [MORE]

Colorado Rockies right-hander Tyler Chatwood apparently has nothing more than what back in simpler times we called a "pulled muscle" in the upper part of his throwing arm, and will miss only tonight's scheduled start, avoiding, for now, the Disabled List.  Jeff Francis will return from his own turn on the DL to make the start, in a 5:15 pm MDT contest against the San Diego Padres at Coors Field ... [MORE]

Jorge De La Rosa will attempt to pick up his eighth victory tonight when he faces the Padres at 6:40pm MT. Once again the Rockies need to win out in this series to take the series. A tough loss last night had them losing the first game of the series again for seemingly the tenth straight series. Walt Weiss continues to show his faith in EYJ by putting him in the ... [MORE]
