Lots of Monday Morning Quarterbacking with Jim TracyIt's easy to play Monday morning quarterback. It's easy to question every move a manager makes after the fact.As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. The best managers in the world are fans who complain about what the manager did after the move he made failed. It's not an easy job, and in a long season, every manager is sure to make moves that cost his team games.Saturday night falls into that category for the Colorado Rockies and manager Jim Tracy.Esmil Rogers relieved Drew Pomeranz in the 6th inning. He immediately gave up a game-tying home run to Ryan Braun. He got through the inning without any further damage. Heading into the 7th inning, the game way tied at three runs a piece. After two quick outs, Rogers spot in the lineup came up. With two outs and no one on base, Tracy decided that he was going to save his bullpen and allow Rogers to hit for himself. The converted shortstop struck out, ending the inning.The mov...

Matt Belisle is the most un-sung member of the Rockies.Sunday's game was a great one for the Colorado Rockies.That statement is one that doesn't come very often. Usually, Sundays are the day when fans plan on going to the mountains, getting the boat out, going shopping, taking a drive, seeing family, or doing anything besides wasting three hours watching a lackluster baseball...

Michael Cuddyer is making O'Dowd look smart so far.Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd takes his fair share of criticism from Rockies fans.Some of it, as he would probably admit, is deserved. He has made moves that have backfired. He has waited too long for prospects to develop, hindering their trade value.However, for the amount of criticism O'Dowd takes, he...

Jamie Moyer: A Pitcher Older than the Rockies
Jamie Moyer is old (I’ll give you a second to wipe up the coffee undoubtably spilled onto your computer after reading this shocking fact). So old, in fact, that he is older than thirteen of the thirty current MLB teams, if relocated teams such as the Atlanta Braves are considered unique from their Milwaukee counterpart. So ancient, that his 25 year career is longer than the...

Rockies-Pirates Preview
Jamie Moyer feels that someone will eventually break the major league record he set last week as the oldest player to win a game.
That's possible, but the Colorado Rockies 49-year-old left-hander can make that less likely each time he takes the hill.

Jamie Moyer is my new hero. On April 17, 2012, Moyer became the oldest pitcher in Major League Baseball history to win a game. At the time of the victory, he was 49 year and 151 days old. He broke an 80-year old record, set by the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Jack Quinn in 1932 at the age of 49 years, 70 days.
Moyer is the opposite of what I call the Boris Becker Effect. On July...

Effin’ bats. Who else is there to blame? This isn’t like the Penguins blowing it in the Playoffs, or the Steelers getting scorched by Tim Tebow. There is no one else to blame. The Pirates are squandering great pitching. I honestly want to know what Gregg Ritchie does. There are a few trains of thought [...]
