Misfortune
The above is an actual fortune that I got in my cookie during Monday's Mets game. I couldn't think of a more fitting message in my wrapped in plastic dessert. The Mets had a Cy Young candidate on the mound. The Rockies had Charlie Blackmon, Jordan Pacheco, Andrew Brown, Wilin Rosario, Tyler Colvin, DJ LeMahieu, and Jonathan Herrera in their starting lineup. This team'...
Rebuilding Rockies get past Mets
NEW YORK -- With many of their everyday players learning on the job as major leaguers and a four-man rotation that necessitates a "piggyback" reliever for each starter, a lot has to go right for the Colorado Rockies to win a game. But each Rockies win provides a hint at the long-term promise of a team enduring a rough season. Jonathan Herrera raced home on a passed ball...

Colorado Rockies youth continues to shine in return to Coors Field
The Rockies have found success from some unlikely sources.When the Colorado Rockies broke camp in early April, no one anticipated an August lineup that included Eric Young, Jr., DJ LaMahieu, Jonathan Herrera, and Chris Nelson in the same night.However, that lineup helped the Rockies score eight runs in the first three innings, propelling the team to a 9-6 victory over the Milwaukee...

Pacheco will get a chance to play third for Rockies
Jordan Pacheco is going to get more playing time at third base and maybe a chance to solidify a position that has been an offensive black hole for the Colorado Rockies. Chris Nelson, who has made 20 starts at third base, was placed on the 15-day disabled list with left wrist inflammation, retroactive to Tuesday. Jonathan Herrera has made nine starts at third base but is viewed...
HelLOL
Some of these things I write, I have no idea where to begin. This one is easy:
The bottom of the fifth on Friday is one of those innings that will be played over and over again on a loop in the room that Bernie Madoff will eventually spend eternity in when he gets to hell. It started not so innocently when Eric Young Jr. hit one to starter Chris Schwinden, and he pulled Zach Lutz...
Diamondbacks fall to Rockies in spring training
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- The comebackers are still a bit of a challenge for Juan Nicasio, though everything else is going very smoothly.
The Colorado right-hander, who had his rookie season end last Aug. 5 when a line drive by Washington's Ian Desmond hit him in the head and his fall to the ground caused a broken neck, tossed four impressive innings Wednesday night as the Rockies...
What Could the Mets Receive for Justin Turner?
Troy Renck of the Denver Posts reports the Rockies are interested in Justin Turner.
Last season, Mark Ellis and Jonathan Herrera played second base for the Rockies, so undoubtedly they are looking for Turner to take over the position full time. Two names that have been connected with the Mets this offseason are utility man Eric Young Jr. and RHP Jason Hammel.
Young Jr....
Players A to Z, Jonathan Herrera
Jonathan Herrera plays second base in a backup role for the Colorado Rockies. Herrera’s strength as a hitter lies in getting on base. In his three seasons in AAA, he posted a .353 OBP with a .343 slugging percentage, so he brings no power to the table. As a major leaguer in just 643 PA over three years, he’s at .325/.314, and remember, this is playing half his games at Coors...
