share-square-1020742 The 2020 baseball season offered us plenty of excitement in a short span, from the July 23 Opening Day matchups all the way through Game 6 of the World Series. Even with fewer games than normal, there were feats and amazing stats accruing left and right, every single day. It’s hard to pick just one per team, after a season that gave us so much fodder. No team or player can be summed up in one stat alone, but information can entertain and give us insight into the season th...

If you look at any of our comment sections or just search “Rockies” on Twitter, you’ll find passionate fans desperately crying for help… and cool photos of mountains. If you’re ...

share-square-1126927 This year was … well, you know, maybe the best thing any of us can say about 2020 is that it is almost over. And because it’s almost over -- it’s really, really almost over! -- it is the time of the year to look backward, rather than forward. It’s a time to commemorate a year that felt like it would never end. And, for what it’s worth, still hasn’t. Every week until we finally reach the end, we will take a look back at the biggest stories, players, teams and mom...

Deesha Thosar examined the remaining offseason needs for the Mets. The Mets have the opportunity to win the offseason and set the pace in the National League East, writes Mike Puma.

2020 was tough. It’s a year that’s going to be remembered for all the wrong reasons. For the Rockies it was another frustrating year of underachieving baseball that was, at times, hard to watch. Not everyone played up to the level of expectation especially when owner Dick Monfort predicted the Rockies would win 94 games back in February.

What would the Rockies bullpen be without the biggest workhorse in the starting rotation? Germán Márquez was the MLB leader in batters faced this year. The best way to help a bullpen could very well be to keep them in the bullpen, which the Rockies can do with a starter working into the seventh. No Rockies starter has done it better than Márquez in recent years, averaging 6.10 innings per start since 2018. Márquez’s figure is more than Kyle Freeland (5.50) and Jon Gray (5.64) over the p...
