Thread: The Official Colorado Rockies thread--Now with extra awesome!!

Colorado Rockies fans know and love Troy Tulowitzki’s wry sense of humor with song choices. His past walk up songs have blasted hilarious choices like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber through Coors Field. In 2013 the all-star shortstop went the tough guy-route with Jay Z’s “Public Service Announcement.” On Thursday against the Giants, a song the Rockies played after Tulo’s at bat took a poke at rumors from TV announcers that he’s been cheating.

On Tuesday a San Francisco Giants announcer attributed Tulo’s incredible home batting average (.571, if any Reverb readers understand sports statistics) to “getting signs.” The announcer, Mike Krukow, seemed to be insinuating that Tulowitzki has been stealing signs from the opposing team (which is frowned upon in baseball).

Though Tulo told the Denver Post on Wednesday that he’d “rather not get involved,” the Rockies responded to the accusations musically the next day.

Awesome.

ATLANTA — Bad things usually happen to the Rockies at Turner Field, but this could ended up ranking as the worst.

Gold Glove third baseman Nolan Arenado, possibly headed toward his first All-Star Game appearance, suffered a fractured left finger Friday night while sliding into second base with a double in the second inning.

The Rockies' official diagnosis was a "left mallet finger fracture."

Arenado came in to score the game's first run, but he did not come back out for the bottom of the second inning. He was replaced by Charlie Culberson.

That sucks about Nolan.

Anybody else watching the game tonight? What the Hell was with Uggla getting so pissed off about a pitch that obviously just got away from Lyles? I understand staring down a guy who might be throwing at you on purpose but that was so obviously not that kind of situation. I loved George Frasier's response "what was Uggla saying to Lyles there? "hey I've been hitting .220 the last three seasons why you throwing at me?"

I am watching the game. Have no clue why Upton reacted like he did, but agree, Frasier's response was great.

Because the Braves are a bunch of little bitches.

ATLANTA — This was a gut-check game for the Rockies. It turns out they were up to the challenge.

They got a pick-me-up performance from Juan Nicasio, who dominated the Braves for six scoreless innings in Colorado's 3-1 victory Saturday.

The stocky right-hander often teases with his talent, but doesn't always deliver on his promise. But he did Saturday, allowing the Braves just two hits. Although Nicasio walked four, he coolly worked his way out of trouble. The prime example came in the third when the Braves loaded the bases with two walks and a single by B.J. Justin Upton. But Nicasio threw a nasty split-finger fastball to Justin Upton who fouled out to first baseman Justin Morneau.

What's the news out of Denver on Tulo?

The Rockies are easily the least televised team on UK ESPN - rubbish.

from article:

* Troy Tulowitzki said he’s fine. He was a little shocked to be surrounded by media types after a 7-0 loss to the Braves on Sunday. Tulo did not take his place at shortstop in the bottom of the eighth after hitting his left ankle with his backswing in the top half of the inning.

“I’m good, I’m fine,” Tulo said, although his ankle was packed in ice. “My backswing hit my foot. I think I’m all right.”

Had the game still been in the balance, Tulo would have continued playing.

I was watching a pre-recorded Quick Pitch on MLB Network this morning that didn't have any follow up on it. I hope he's telling the truth.

what a horrendous 9th inning. What was Weiss thinking with putting Logan in? I know he wanted the left on left matchup but Utley just got a hit off of him the other night and Howard is 3-5 against him. Bad decision by Weiss, really bad.

Yeah, not to mention they showed that graphic about lefties hitting Logan better than righties this year. Not a good move. Rutledge is the one who effed it up though. Gotta make that friggin throw.

That was the worst strike call I've seen in years. That ball was literally a foot inside. Holy shit that ump should be fined. A called third strike to end a game that was literally in the batter's box and not even close to the plate, with the tying run at the plate. Wow! **** that guy.

The Rockies on Wednesday moved outfielder Carlos Gonzalez to the 15-day disabled list and cut catcher Jordan Pacheco.

Colorado then added outfielder Ryan Wheeler and catcher Michael McKenry from the Sky Sox.

Gonzalez on Tuesday re-injured his left index finger in a game at Coors Field against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It's an injury he's suffered twice previously this season; however, this will be his first stint on the disabled list this season.
