Latest news and updates about the Rockies
Missed opportunities at the plate once again spelled doom for the Colorado Rockies as they dropped the rubber match 6-4 to the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. The Rockies end the road trip having gone 4-2 and end the month of April 13-14. Striking First The Rockies started the game on a high note against Andrew […]
The Cincinnati Reds will take on the Colorado Rockies on Thursday afternoon in Great American Ball Park in the series finale, a rubber match that will determine who claims the series victory. In it will feature former Red Michael Lorenzen on the bump for the Rockies, a mound he’ll share to start with lefty Andrew […]
Cincinnati Reds lefty Brandon Williamson exited Wednesday evening’s start against the Colorado Rockies after having thrown just 58 pitches across 3.0 IP. It was the latest in a series of frustrating starts for the 28 year old, who for the season has actually walked more hitters (20) than he’s struck out (19). After the game, […]
The Rockies’ new pitching philosophy is no longer a secret. They promised to leave no stone unturned, and one month in, the results have been genuinely impressive. Depending on your preferred WAR metric, Colorado has had one of baseball’s most valuable pitching staffs — at altitude, no less. That story has been covered well, including here at Purple Row. So here’s the […]
Yesterday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds was a lot closer than the score would indicate. The Reds didn’t bust the scoring open until very late in the day, and the Colorado Rockies had plenty of opportunities to score. The problem was that the Rockies didn’t capitalize on those opportunities. This evening the Rockies are once […]
Today’s date is April 29th, and the Cincinnati Reds already have a chance to move 10 games over .500. TEN GAMES! To do so, they’ll need to once again get past the Colorado Rockies, whom they felled yesterday by the score of 7-2 on the backs of Elly De La Cruz and Chase Burns. Tonight, […]
Left-handed pitcher Antoine Jean was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the seventh round of the 2025 MLB Draft out of the University of Houston. He didn’t play in 2025, and unfortunately had his 2026 debut season cut short by an ACL injury in his first outing for the Spokane Indians. During that outing, he […]
For years, the Colorado Rockies have searched for a true ace pitcher: someone with the raw power to blow hitters away while embodying the movement profile, grit, and confidence to succeed at Coors Field. At times, there have been glimpses of that type of pitcher in the past, but in 2026, Chase Dollander may have […]
After sweeping the New York Mets over the weekend, the Colorado Rockies hoped to continue on their winning track in Game 1 against the Cincinnati Reds. However, it was not to be as the Rockies, despite getting on base throughout the game, could never manage to bring runners home and lost the series opener, 7-2. […]
The Cincinnati Reds open up a midweek series against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in Great American Ball Park, and do so with righty Chase Burns on the mound to start. The Rockies, meanwhile, will roll out veteran lefty Kyle Freeland – fresh off an IL stint – and the Reds have made the requisite […]
The Colorado Rockies are surely feeling good about life since they are coming off a three-game sweep of the New York Mets at Citi Field. Worth noting, Colorado sits at 13-16 on the season, their best start through 29 games since 2022, when they got off to a 16-13 start. In addition, the Rockies are […]
It is quite likely that the last two days will the slowest of the entire season for the Cincinnati Reds. Despite winning the overall series (and being on a roll overall), the Reds spent Sunday afternoon dropping the series finale in Great American Ball Park to the Detroit Tigers. Compounding things was the manner in […]
The first thing you’ll probably notice about RJ Petit is his size— he’s 6-foot, 8-inches tall. Generally speaking, the Colorado Rockies are not a height-challenged team, but even then, Petit towers above his teammates. It’s fitting, then, that his size reflects the notable changes he’s undergone over the course of the last year as he […]
On Sunday, in the second game of a doubleheader — and when the bullpen had to cover 3.2 innings in Game 1 — Chase Dollander threw seven shutout innings to help the Rockies shut out the Mets 3-0. The result was Colorado’s first shutout of 2026. In 2025, the Rockies only held opponents scoreless three […]
While a clear feature of the 2026 Rockies is Warren Schaeffer changing up lineups depending on the opposing pitcher and analytics, one trend is emerging as a fairly regular trend: Edouard Julien in the leadoff spot. Julien has hit in the No. 1 spot in 17 of the Rockies 29 games with all of them […]
Last week, I gave you some background on the Rockies’ Cultural Education & Development Program. This week, I’m going to follow up by providing some insight into the curriculum. Specifically, I will detail the program in the Dominican Academy and the Dominican Summer League since those are the most intensive programs. The focus is on […]
The Rockies and Mets came into this series with nearly identical records: 10-16 for Colorado, 9-16 for New York. Which… felt misleading. Like two teams arriving at the same place for completely different reasons. Then the Rockies swept the series, and the gap in records is growing: 13-16 for Colorado, 9-19 for New York. Same […]
Following their disastrous double header sweep at the hands of the Rockies, the Mets designated Tommy Pham for assignment. In another move, the club signed outfielder Austin Slater to a deal after electing free agency earlier today. He was DFA’ed by the Marlins earlier this month. Pham, you may recall, played for the Mets in […]
If you had any doubt about the 2026 Mets being a terrible baseball team, surely it was erased this afternoon as the team scored just one run across two games of a doubleheader against the Rockies at Citi Field. In the second game, the Mets were shut out, a recurring theme early of a season […]
After rain bumped the Saturday matchup from the MLB schedule, the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets played two on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. Game 1: Rockies 3, Mets 1 The Rockies started the day with a victory to lock up a series win on the road. Putting the ‘K’ in New York Strikeouts […]
The Mets fell to the lowly Rockies by a score of 3-1 in the first game of the doubleheader. Lack of offense and poor defense was the name of the game yet again in their second straight loss to Colorado. The Mets did load the bases with one out in the first against old friend […]
