Latest news and updates about the Rockies
After an epic comeback victory in game 1, the Braves will hope to secure yet another series win behind their ace against a Rockies team that is generally not good but has been competitive this season. Chris Sale has been great this season, despite one of his career-worst starts against the Angels. Coors can always […]
The Rockies definitely had the Braves for the first seven innings. Ah but in the last three games, the leading team didn’t finish the job. Michael Harris II was headed for the Injured List as well, don’t you know. Then, he came on to pinch hit. Yup, pretty standard Braves heroics at the end. Here […]
As several Colorado Rockies search for traction on offense, it makes sense that the next wave of Albuquerque names has started to become more interesting. Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) has been part of that conversation. Charlie Condon (No. 1 PuRP), too. Sterlin Thompson (No. 13 PuRP) is a quieter name, but maybe a more intriguing one than first appears. […]

On April 17th, the Los Angeles Dodgers came to Denver with the best record in baseball, a relentless offense, and a pitching staff that made the matchup feel unfair. The Rockies did not need to prove they were better than Los Angeles. They just needed to survive it — and they did, finishing the four-game series […]
Braves manager Walt Weiss said the team plans to use Michael Harris II primarily as a designated hitter for this upcoming nine-game road trip, which begins Friday against the Colorado Rockies, to allow his lingering quad injury a chance to heal.

At the start of every baseball season, hope springs eternal — even for the Colorado Rockies.

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 first thing you’ll probably notice about RJ Petit is his size— he’s 6-foot, 8-inches tall.
