Colorado Rockies game no. 17 thread: Michael Lorenzen vs Colton Gordon

That four-game sweep in San Diego last week? Whatever. It was a lifetime ago. It’s a new day and a new series, this time with the Houston Astros, a team the Colorado Rockies swept last week that has now lost eight in a row. To be fair, the Astros have be devastated by injuries. Taking […]

Rockies recall RHP Tanner Gordon, option Valente Bellozo

The Colorado Rockies optioned right-handed long reliever Valente Bellozo to the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes on Monday. However, a corresponding roster move was not announced until Tuesday afternoon as right-handed pitcher Tanner Gordon has been recalled from the Isotopes. Bellozo, pitched 4.1 innings of relief on Sunday against the San Diego Padres when anticipated starter Kyle […]

Are Diamondbacks At Their Best in 1-Run Games?

Which teams had the most 1-run games? Frequent 1-Run Games.  In games through 8 April, the Rockies and the Diamondbacks were tied for the most 1-run games in the Majors.  On 10 April, the changed standings showed the Diamondbacks in the lead with seven 1-run games, the Mariners in second place with six 1-run games, […]

Rockies top prospect Ethan Holliday tunes out the noise

Colorado Rockies top prospect Ethan Holliday (No. 2 PuRP) has started his first full season of professional baseball with the Low-A Fresno Grizzlies. Currently, the 19-year-old short stop is slashing .200/.360/.560 in 20 at-bats. Granted, it’s early in the season, and we don’t yet have meaningful data. This comes off a 2025 season where after […]

Troy Johnston is making the most of his time with the Colorado Rockies

Back on November 5, 2025, when the Colorado Rockies claimed INF/OF Troy Johnston off waivers, the move seemed fairly insignificant. At the time, the Rockies rebuild was in its early stages with key front office positions remaining unfilled, so their thinking on claiming Johnston was unclear. In spring training, however, Johnston’s potential became clear: It’s […]

Purple Row After Dark: What advice would you give?

Congratulations! You’ve won a (completely fictional) 15-minute coffee break with Colorado Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta. After you’ve ordered whatever it is you’re drinking, you sit down, and DePodesta asks you for some advice as the Rockies head into the fourth week of this young MLB season. What would you tell him? Please […]

8 numbers that show the Rockies are better in 2026

After the hype of sweeping the Houston Astros and the crushing reality of being swept by the San Diego Padres in a four-game series, last week was a roller coaster for Colorado Rockies fans. While progress will be slow in the climb to change the trajectory of an organization that’s lost more than 100 games […]

Good Morning San Diego: Padres break out brooms, may still take loss

The San Diego Padres punctuated their four-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies with a 7-2 win in the final game, giving them a sweep of the series. The San Diego lineup showed its versatility scoring the first two runs of the game using small ball with bunts to move runners and sacrifice flyballs to bring […]

Chase Dollander and Antonio Senzatela are settling into the Rockies bullpen

Antonio Senzatela and Chase Dollander are two very different pitchers, but both have found themselves transitioning from starting to long relief over the last year. For Senzatela, the move came after struggles over the last few seasons that saw him returning from a variety of health challenges, including Tommy John surgery. Finally in August, the […]

Purple Row After Dark: Impressive, surprising, concerning

The Colorado Rockies have had the most up-and-down season so far. They were swept on the road by the Miami Marlins; they then took two of three from the Toronto Blue Jays; they took one of three against the Philadelphia Phillies in the Home Opening series; swept the Houston Astros at home; and then were […]

Padres 7, Rockies 2: Swept out of San Diego

It’s hard to describe this game as anything other than… deflating. While the Rockies entered the day on the verge of being swept, they had also kept the Padres on their toes for three games coming off of a sweep of the Houston Astros at home. Today is where nothing really went right for the […]

Colorado Rockies game no. 16 thread: Kyle Freeland vs Nick Pivetta

While it’s disappointing to once again be facing a sweep at the end of a series, one must remember the Colorado Rockies are who we thought they were. They are a team at the ground floor of a rebuild and by their own admission are “here for the climb.” By that metric, the Rockies have […]

Padres on four-game win streak, sights on series sweep

The San Diego Padres put an end to their recent walk-off shenanigans with a 9-5 come-from-behind victory over the Colorado Rockies Saturday night. Germán Márquez, after his last stellar start, reverted to his previous not-so-good form but still managed to pick up the win with some thump from the offense. Márquez allowed four runs on […]

This Week in Purple: Tonal Whiplash

When the Colorado Rockies left Coors Field on Wednesday night they were on top of the world. They had started the week having avoided a sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday and proceeded to rattle off three more wins to sweep the usually dominant Houston Astros. It was the Rockies’ first […]

Padres 9, Rockies 5: An early spark gives way to a disappointing loss

On a day when the University of Denver hockey team won their historic 11th National Championship, it felt like nothing could go wrong in the Colorado sports world. Alas, there was no more Mile High Magic to go around for the Colorado Rockies (or Colorado Avalanche) tonight. Things got off to a promising start. Ryan […]

The Notes: Luzardo handles Beck, Jonathan Bowlan tweaks

Jesús Luzardo dazzled in the second game of the road trip against the Colorado Rockies, striking out 11 in 6.2 innings of one-run ball. It was a strong bounce back start after struggling against Texas to begin the year. There is one three-pitch sequence that can tell anyone how dialed in he was in Coors. […]

The Rockies’ offense needs a monster — and Charlie Condon might be it 

After five Triple-A games, Konnor Griffin forced the issue — .438/.571/.625 — and debuted in Pittsburgh’s April 4 home opener.  Less than a week later, the Pirates — hardly a perennial contender — announced a nine-year extension that keeps him under contract through 2034.   That’s not just a prospect promotion. That’s a team deciding to be aggressive.  For an organization […]

Holy Sheets! Gavin goes yard, twice, Padres walk-off Rockies

For the second tine in as many nights, and for the first time in the new City Connect 2.0 uniforms, the San Diego Padres walked off the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park. One night after Xander Bogaerts hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 12th inning, Gavin Sheets hit his second home […]
