One of the most surprising stories of 2026 was the rise of Rockies prospect Jack O’Dowd (HM PuRP). Originally undrafted out of the University of Texas, O’Dowd played a year of independent ball with the Billings Mustangs before signing with the Colorado Rockies in the 2026 offseason. Since then, he has torn through the minors […]

The Colorado Rockies didn’t give us much to celebrate in 2026, and with October baseball happening elsewhere, I’ve been relegated to staring at Rockies players’ Baseball Savant pages and rewatching old game footage. Since I’ve already spent an unreasonable amount of time doing exactly that, I figured we might as well hand out a few […]
Good morning, Rockies fans! Major League Baseball is apparently interested in giving us a little less baseball.

Outside of losing 100 games again, another negative trend continued for the Colorado Rockies in 2026. With the fourth-straight season of 100 or more losses in the books, the Rockies also logged their worst season of attendance since 2006 this year (not including no fans in 2020 and a fan-limited 2021 because of COVID). In […]
If you want to take a glass-half-full approach with the long-struggling Rockies, they won 15 more games in 2026 than they did last year. If you want to take a glass-half-empty approach, they went 6-18 in September and clinched the majors’ worst record (58-104) for the second straight season. Colorado has lost triple-digit games four […]
A trio of former big leaguers reached the open market earlier this week. They head to free agency in search of another opportunity in the majors next season.
