It wasn’t the perfect moment.  But Riley Pint, seven years after he was drafted and two years after he retired, finally made his MLB debut Wednesday. He survived only 1/3 of one inning, walking three and letting in a run before he was removed from an 11-6 Rockies win over the Cincinnati Reds at Coors…

As Chase Anderson got jolted around the league, he never gave up hope that he would find his place again.  Not when he was in Triple-A as a veteran who had failed to show his arm was still big-league caliber.  Not when he was released, designated for assignment or traded for cash considerations by six…

Rockies pitcher Jake Bird and Phillies designated hitter Bryce Harper were ejected after a benches-clearing brawl in the seventh inning on Sunday. Bird got Bryson Stott to fly out for the last out of the inning, then stuck his tongue out and clapped his glove in the direction of the Phillies dugout as he walked…

Connor Seabold was in a bind of his own making.  He walked two in the fifth, loading the bases with two outs. Veteran Carlos Santana was at the plate — not the guy you want to face in that situation.  Seabold, though, got ahead early because of an automatic strike. He threw two balls to go…

What happened: A two-run shot from Rodolfo Castro was the difference in this one, as the Pirates beat the Rockies 2-0 to open the three-game series.  On the mound: A good old fashion pitchers’ duel. Kyle Freeland pitched seven innings, giving up just that two-run home run. Mitch Keller pitched a complete game shutout for the Pirates. Keller…

The best position player for the Colorado Rockies so far this season will come as a surprise to most. It’s not Kris Bryant, who is on a seven-year, $180 million contract. Not Charlie Blackmon either, who has been the face of the team for the past decade. The right answer isn’t C.J. Cron, last year’s…

Antonio Senzatela returned at a time when the Rockies were desperate for solid starting pitching. And he gave them more than enough to be happy about in his first start of the season.  Senzatela, making his first major league start since tearing his ACL on Aug. 18, 2022, gave the Rockies five innings on Friday,…

Rockies ace Germán Márquez had a feeling the news was coming.  It didn’t make it any easier, though, when he and the team decided on Tuesday that he would undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his season. The procedure has not been scheduled yet, but the recovery is typically 12-18 months, putting his 2024 season at…

The Rockies’ starting pitching depth was a major question mark for the team entering spring training. Now, after another injury, it’s virtually nonexistent. Noah Davis, who gave up only one run in his first two major league starts, was placed on the injured list Sunday with right elbow inflammation. He said he started to feel…

Randal Grichuk had to sit and watch as the Colorado Rockies got off to a 8-18 start, one of their worst in franchise history. Grichuk had bilateral sports hernia surgery just days before spring training began, delaying his start of the season. He stayed behind as the team broke camp, needing to make up the…
