Clips for 7-12-10 MEDIA CLIPS –May 17, 2017 Blackmon shows he's #ASGWorthy vs. Twins Rockies center fielder goes 3-for-5 with homer in win Tuesday By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | @harding_at_mlb | 1:46 AM ET MINNEAPOLIS -- The Rockies' 10-game road trip was a success for Rockies leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon even before he showed up for the first game of it at Target Field on Tuesday. "Yesterday I went fishing at Lake Minnetonka with a friend of mine from Atlanta whose brother lives here. … Caught 20- something pike." Blackmon reeled in three hits, including a two-run homer in the sixth off Twins reliever Tyler Duffey, in the Rockies' 7- 3 victory on Tuesday to run his torrid streak to 8-for-12 over his last three games. With a strong lineup behind him, the Rockies' leadoff man believes he is being pitched tough, with offspeed pitches in expected fastball counts. The two-seam fastball from Duffey, Blackmon said, was the exception Tuesday, and he has seen few of those. "I don't really feel like I've been really getting a lot of pitches to hit," Blackmon said. "The home run was middle-up. But the two singles, I maybe shouldn't have even swung at them. I got lucky. Good aim." Maybe there's something to be said for rest and relaxation. 1 Last week, Blackmon went on an 0-for-10 skid. But after going 2-for-4 against the Dodgers on Friday night, he took his first full day off of the season -- he has started all but two games this season. Sunday produced a 3-for-3 performance with two runs in a win over the Dodgers. After Monday's fishing expedition, he got to Twins starter Phil Hughes, with two singles, and Duffey, with his ninth homer of the season. Blackmon is tied the Astros' George Springer for the Majors lead from the leadoff spot with nine, and his 30 RBIs pace No. 1 hitters. "You look at a lot of guys, when they're rested, they'll be more effective," Blackmon said. "The body feels good right now. Maybe that's why a lot of guys had good games today." But he won't be sitting often. Not with this production. "He's been pretty steady all year long," Rockies manager Bud Black said. "Charlie's game at the top of the order is exactly what you're seeing. He's getting on base, he's hitting for average. There's some power in there. He's knocking in runs from the leadoff spot, which tells you a little bit about the bottom of the order getting on base for him." 2 Rox ride 4-run 6th, pair of HRs past Twins By Rhett Bollinger and Thomas Harding / MLB.com | 2:35 AM ET MINNEAPOLIS -- Charlie Blackmon and Gerardo Parra both homered, while Ian Desmond came through with a go- ahead RBI single off Phil Hughes as part of a four-run sixth to lift the Rockies to a 7-3 win over the Twins in the Interleague series opener on Tuesday night at Target Field. Desmond snapped a 3-3 tie with a single off Hughes in the sixth, before Colorado tacked on three more insurance runs, including a two-run shot from Blackmon with two outs. It helped the Rockies improve to a Major League-best 12-5 on the road, which is their best start away from Coors Field in franchise history. "It's nice that we're winning away from home," said Blackmon, who went 3-for-5 Tuesday and is on an 8-for-12 run. "Usually you're a little less comfortable, but I don't think we're having any issues." It was a matchup of first-place clubs -- the Rockies in the National League West, the Twins in the American League Central. And don't tell Desmond, who has been part of division winners three of the last five years between the Nationals and Rangers, about how early in the season it is. "I keep on hearing, 'It's early stuff,'" Desmond said. "Back in Washington, we were like 13 games back of the Atlanta Braves in April or mid-May, and we could never overcome it. "These games, to us, matter, and I don't think it needs to be discredited. Every win is important, I don't care if it's April, May or September." Blackmon stayed hot, going 3-for-5 with three RBIs. He now has eight hits in his last 12 at-bats. Parra also smacked a solo homer in the fourth off Hughes, who mostly struggled. The Twins' right-hander allowed five runs on eight hits over five-plus innings, falling to 4-2 on the season with a 5.23 ERA. "Hughes wasn't trusting his changeup again, which has happened his last couple starts," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "I think the home run, he tried to backdoor a cutter, but it came over the inner third. But he gave us a chance. His numbers aren't great when you look at them on the whole, but in all but one, we've been in the game." 3 It was enough offense for Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland, who went six frames and worked around three runs on five hits and four walks to register his fifth straight quality start. The Twins scored twice in the second on a pair of RBI doubles from Jason Castro and Brian Dozier before getting a solo homer from Byron Buxton in the fourth. "He battled," Rockies manager Bud Black said of Freeland. "Too many balls mid-thigh to the letters. He really didn't pound the zone like we'd seen Kyle. But there were a couple of key pitches, and he made them." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Freeland gets big double play: The Twins threatened with one out and runners at the corners in the fifth after Freeland walked Dozier and Robbie Grossman on a combined 17 pitches to open the inning. But after Miguel Sano flied out to center, Freeland went to his favorite weapon, the hard, high-and-inside fastball, and got Kennys Vargas to escape the inning with a double play to keep the game tied. "If they see a fastball up in the zone but in, their eyes are gong to light up and they're going to want to turn and burn on it," Freeland said. "If you're able to get in on his hands, where he can't fire them quickly, you can get a good out." Two-out hits key in sixth: After Desmond's RBI single gave the Rockies the lead in the sixth, Colorado tacked on three insurance runs with two outs against Twins reliever Tyler Duffey. Tony Wolters brought home Desmond with a double to right, keyed by a misplay from Grossman in right field that allowed Desmond to score from first. Blackmon followed with a two-run homer that extended the Colorado lead to 7-3. Blackmon's ninth homer of the year left the bat at 104.9 mph at a high launch angle of 40 degrees, traveling a projected 395 feet, per Statcast™. QUOTABLE "I understand those things can speed up on you. But I guarantee you, he'll never do that again. Put it that way. Thankfully for them, it didn't come back to get them." -- Twins catcher Chris Gimenez, who reached first on a strikeout that would've ended the game in the ninth, as Wolters didn't throw to first on a ball that hit the dirt, forcing the Rockies to bring in closer Greg Holland with two outs SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Buxton's homer extended Minnesota's streak to 16 straight games with a homer, tying a franchise record set in 1979. It also snapped Freeland's streak of 34 innings without allowing a homer. HEAD BACK IN THE GAME Wolters made an impact in his return from a concussion suffered May 2. Hitting ninth, he rolled a fielder's choice grounder to drive in a run in the second and doubled in the Rockies' big sixth inning. Defensively he erased Eddie Rosario on an 4 attempted steal of second to end the fourth with the score tied at 3 and made a sliding catch of a popped-up Jorge Polanco bunt in the sixth. WHAT'S NEXT Rockies: Right-hander German Marquez, who held the Cubs hitless for six innings and scoreless on three hits through eight in his last start, will face the Twins in the second game of the series Wednesday at Target Field at 6:10 p.m. MT. Twins: Right-hander Ervin Santana (6-1, 1.50 ERA) is set to start against the Rockies on Wednesday at 7:10 p.m. CT. Santana has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season and is coming off a strong start, throwing seven scoreless innings against the Indians. 5 Wolters feels back to normal after concussion Rockies catcher rejoins lineup Tuesday against Twins By Rhett Bollinger and Thomas Harding / MLB.com | 2:35 AM ET MINNEAPOLIS -- Catcher Tony Wolters returned to the Rockies' lineup Tuesday with extra padding in the temple area of his new catcher's mask and, more importantly, no trepidation. Wolters suffered a concussion when hit by a bat on May 2. The Rockies optioned catcher Dustin Garneau (.206/1 HR/6 RBI in 22 games) to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for Wolters, who was hitting .346 with three RBIs in 17 games before being struck by the bat of the Padres' Hector Sanchez.

    MEDIA CLIPS – July 20, 2017 Arenado thrives with unconventional technique Uncommon footwork paying off at plate for Rox slugger By Joe Trezza / MLB.com | 10:00 AM ET NEW YORK -- Give it a few years, some in the Rockies' organization believe, and the Major Leagues could be a league littered with players like Nolan Arenado. Not in terms of production -- not everyone woke up Thursday fresh off a three- homer game and eyeing a third straight RBI title -- but in hitting approach and style. Baseball is a copycat game. Do something at the plate a little differently and very well, and soon someone is bound to mirror it. Baseball people don't think it a coincidence Giants prospect Christian Arroyo resembles Buster Posey in stance and swing, or how Jose Bautista's leg kick led to Josh Donaldson's and Justin Turner's, and on and on. The next trend may come from a mechanical tweak in Arenado's load some are calling the driving force behind not just the third baseman's homers, but also his future standing as a pioneer. "It's now three straight years, and he comes in at the break and he's leading baseball in RBI," Rockies broadcaster and former outfielder Ryan Spilborghs said. "You start paying attention to him. Mechanically, what does he do?" It's what Arenado does with his back (right) foot, specifically, during his swing that is turning heads. Slow down the video of his three-homer game Wednesday. Before each one, Arenado actually lifts his back foot off the ground prior to stepping with the front foot, a momentum-creating motion that essentially gives him a running start into the pitch.

    MEDIA CLIPS – April 9, 2017 Rare air: Rockies hit three HRs off Kershaw By Ken Gurnick and Thomas Harding / MLB.com DENVER -- Mark Reynolds and Gerardo Parra delivered back-to-back homers off Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw -- something he had never experienced -- to lift the Rockies to a 4-2 victory at Coors Field on Saturday night before a sellout crowd of 48,012. "It doesn't surprise me," Reynolds said when it was noted consecutive homers off Kershaw had never happened. "He's tough. He just left a couple pitches up in the zone, and me and Parra put good swings on them. "You've got to pick a pitch. His slider is tough. His heater, he elevates. His curveball, it's tough sledding. You've got to hope he makes a mistake. He made three of them tonight." There was more homer history off Kershaw, a three-time National League Cy Young Award winner. Because Nolan Arenado homered in the first inning, the game was the third time that Kershaw had given up three homers in a game. Two have been against the Rockies. "I know he felt good, he had good stuff, it's just one of those things with good hitters," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Kershaw's outing. Arenado's homer, his second, also was a one-of-a kind feat. It came on a 75 mph curveball, and was just the fourth on a Kershaw curve since Statcast™ began tracking in 2015. Arenado's was the hardest-hit (103.7 mph) and farthest projected distance (431 feet) on a homer on a Kershaw bender.

  • Cincinnati Reds' Top Prospects Can Be Broken Down Into Two Groups: Outfielders and Pitchers
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings January 14, 2015 CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Aroldis Chapman donation propels MSJ locker room renovation By Shannon Russell / Cincinnati Enquirer / [email protected] There's nothing like having an updated home locker room, and a donation by Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman ensured just that for Mount St. Joseph's men's volleyball team. The three-month project features 21 custom wood lockers and new flooring. More from MSJ: "This project absolutely could not have been completed without Mr. Chapman's generosity,'' coach Ryan Lengerich said. "He has ties to this program and believes in its mission and commitment to winning on the court, in the classroom and in the community. We are forever grateful and proud to have him as a friend to the program." The Mount building and grounds staff gutted the locker room in October, including removing small metal lockers and a privacy wall, which significantly increased the usable space in the locker room. New ceiling, trim and wall paint was followed by new flooring and custom lockers from JR Customs Unlimited in Hamilton. The locker room is a special place where the athletes celebrate the wins and pick each other up in defeat," Lengerich said. "These student-athletes deserve this locker room. They never asked for it, they only worked hard each day and were thankful for what they had. They are a humble group, and there is no doubt they will treat this locker room with respect and enjoy it." The men's volleyball locker room is provided by the university for use solely by the team.

    MEDIA CLIPS – February 3, 2017 Young arms among Rockies' camp invites Veteran batters Denorfia, Reynolds also on non-roster list By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | @harding_at_mlb | February 2nd, 2017 DENVER -- Two fast-rising pitching prospects, right-hander Ryan Castellani and lefty Sam Howard, will make their first appearances in Major League camp this spring for the Rockies, who announced their non-roster invitees on Thursday. The group includes veterans Chris Denorfia, a right-handed-hitting outfielder, andMark Reynolds, who was the Rockies' primary first baseman last year. In all, the Rockies invited 22 players, including nine pitchers, to bring the total number to 62. Pitchers and catchers will have their first workout on Feb. 14, and the initial full-squad workout is Feb. 20. Castellani, who turns 21 on April 1, is a 2014 second-round pick out of Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix. He went 7- 8 with a 3.81 ERA and 142 strikeouts in 167 2/3 innings last season at Class A Advanced Modesto against older competition in the California League. Howard, who turns 24 on March 5, was drafted a round after Castellani out of Georgia Southern. Howard went 9-9 with a 3.35 ERA, and fanned 140 in 156 innings. In the latest ranking of top 30 Rockies prospects by MLBPipeline.com, Castellani was No. 12 and Howard was 20th. While non-roster invitations give the Rockies a chance to look at highly touted prospects before the Minor League season, this group also includes players who could help the big squad beginning on Opening Day -- especially pitchers.

    MEDIA CLIPS – Oct. 29, 2018 Rockies decline Parra's option for 2019 Do-Hyoung Park | MLB.com | Oct. 30th, 2018 The Rockies have declined a $12 million club option on outfielder Gerardo Parra for the 2019 season, exercising a $1.5 million buyout on Tuesday to make him a free agent. Parra appeared in 142 games in 2018 but started only 97 of them as a platoon outfielder, primarily in left field. He hit .284/.342/.372 in the final year of a three-year, $27.5 million contract inked prior to the 2016 season. The two-time National League Gold Glove Award winner lost playing time toward the end of the regular season when David Dahl returned from injury and Matt Holliday made his return to Colorado in August. The left-handed-hitting Parra, 31, struggled to live up to expectations in his first year with Colorado in 2016, hitting .253 with a .671 OPS, but he rebounded in '17 with career highs in average (.309) and RBIs (71). He spent the first five-plus seasons of his 10-year career with the D-backs before brief stints with Milwaukee and Baltimore prior to his arrival in Denver. Still, the Rockies will entertain the idea of agreeing to a less expensive deal with Parra, who showed value as a pinch- hitter this season by batting .393/.433/.536 with one homer, one double and two walks in 30 plate appearances. Franchise mainstay Carlos Gonzalez and Holliday are also free agents again for the Rockies. Colorado has two starting outfield positions locked up for 2019 between Dahl and three-time All-Star Charlie Blackmon, who in April was extended through the '21 season with player options for '22 and '23.
