RISP. It's one of the most important acronyms/statistics in baseball. It's something the Rockies talked about throughout spring training. But their failure to drive in runners in scoring position (RISP) cost them dearly in their weekend series... Read More »

Walt Weiss didn't become Rockies manager to babysit or conduct science experiments. He created absolutes in how baseball should be played, and repeated a simple message to his players: compete. A curious outgrowth of his mantra, which began the... Read More »

As first teased by Roy Oswalt on his Twitter account, the Rockies just announced that they have signed the veteran right-hander to a minor league contract. Oswalt is expected to report to extended spring training and will presumably join a minor... Read More »

The Rockies have signed pitcher Roy Oswalt, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports (on Twitter). Oswalt had previously tweeted to expect "exciting news." Oswalt pitched 59 innings for the Rangers in 2012, with a 5.80 ERA but 9.0 K/9 and 1.68 BB/9. The... Read More »

Todd Helton is driving his teammates nuts on the bench. He even took to sweeping the dugout in Arizona to pass the time. Yeah, he's ready to return to the roster. He continued making progress Wednesday, taking batting practice on the field.... Read More »

When Hyun-Jin Ryu arrived in Glendale, Ariz., for spring training, he made a big impression. He was too large, panting and unable to finish fitness drills. Then again, the Dodgers didn't sign him for $36 million to run the final leg of the... Read More »

The slide was like the series itself. Awkward, ugly and painful, but not deflating. Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki strained his left rotator cuff Sunday sliding into home plate, but he avoided serious injury. Tulo left the game before the... Read More »

While a stranger to home runs, Todd Helton still exudes willpower. He's always felt he could stare down a pitcher, find a weakness and exploit it. Injuries are no different. He takes a shot, rubs some dirt on it, and rolls up his sleeves. That's... Read More »

Rockies placed 1B Todd Helton on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 20, with left forearm inflammation. Helton has struggled to make any progress this week, so the move became increasingly inevitable. Ryan Wheeler has been called up... Read More »

Sure, it's a small sample size, but so far the 2013 Rockies are everything the 2012 Rockies were not. Combining another strong start from veteran right-hander Jon Garland, the sizzling bat of Carlos Gonzalez and timely hitting throughout the... Read More »

When the Rockies arrived Tuesday to eight inches of snow layering Coors Field, the idea of playing two games seemed preposterous. Snow shovels and a late-arriving storm provided a window to complete a doubleheader in conditions more suited for... Read More »

After every employee helped shovel snow Tuesday — owner Dick Monfort included — the Rockies dug themselves out of an early hole and chilled the Mets 8-4 at frigid Coors Field. In conditions more suited for Peak 9 at Breckenridge, Todd Helton... Read More »
