Trying To Optimize The Rockies Rotation For Coors Field A few weeks back, I wrote about Jorge de la Rosa’s remarkable mastery of Coors Field, a fact made all the more interesting by the reality that he’s struggled badly pretty much everywhere else.

many, many years ago I tried to do something extremely dumb

Wrote about a few quick obvious ways the Rockies could get quick wins via modernizing -- like stop throwing bad platoon sinkers, stop with all the lousy glove-side fastballs, don't be afraid to throw strikes, etc.

Things easy to see in 2026 ..

If you're wondering how a Central European country with little baseball tradition (Czechia) can march into the the Tokyo Dome and give Japan this kind of fight, well, @michaelclair.bsky.social has exactly this story in a book coming out April 1, & it's good

OndΕ™ej Satoria, whose fastball is around 78 mph, pitches a remarkable 4 2/3 shutout innings against Samurai Japan, the best team in the world.

Pavel Chadim bows and the crowd erupts. As he leaves the field, he turns around to take it all in. His national team career is now over

Mexico's uniforms are elite. Excellent logo and the green/red really pops in an endless sea of similar blue unis in this tournament

The Rockies lost 119 games. They'll probably be in last place again.

But for the first time since 1999, they've hired from outside to run baseball ops. What can you look for right now to see some evidence of long-overdue modernization?

Some ideas:
