Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
A contingent of Colorado Rockies prospects faced off against a contingent of Arizona Diamondbacks prospects in the third annual Spring Breakout game, and the heat ended up being a little too much for the Rockies prospects to handle. It was 104 degrees at first pitch, and 93 by the time the game ended around 7pm […]
As spring training winds down, the third annual MLB Spring Breakout is kicking off, featuring 16 matchups between rosters loaded with baseball’s up-and-coming stars. The Colorado Rockies’ prospects get their turn in a Saturday evening matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Rockies announced their 2026 roster earlier in the week. Among the group are familiar […]
Yesterday, facing off against Nick Pivetta and what may well have been a preview of the Padres Opening Day lineup, the Rockies managed a convincing 9-3 victory. Combining 14 hits across ten different batters, the offensive outburst was a team effort. Similarly, on the pitching side, six different pitchers combined to only allow four hits […]
Kyle Freeland will take the ball for the Rockies on Opening Day in 2026 — the fifth Opening Day nod for a pitcher who has quietly built one of the most unique résumés in franchise history. By Baseball-Reference, he is already the Rockies’ all-time leader in WAR among starting pitchers (19.2), a reflection of both longevity and effectiveness in baseball’s […]
Throughout spring training, we’ve seen four men audition to join Jack Corrigan as the second radio voice of the Colorado Rockies: Jesse Thomas (producer), Jeff Dooley (Hartford Yard Goats), Josh Suchon (Albuquerque Isotopes), and Zach Goodman (Amarillo Sod Poodles). We’re still awaiting the results with just three games remaining, but fans were most impressed with […]
The Colorado Rockies dropped a high-scoring affair yesterday, falling 14–11 to the San Francisco Giants. Willi Castro and Kyle Karros each had two hits to lead the offense, but bullpen struggles proved costly—most notably Seth Halverson, who continued to have a tough spring. Tonight in Peoria, the 12–13 Rockies take on the 14–11 Padres, where temps could still be triple digits at first pitch. The roster is now trimmed […]
Although it ultimately came down to a two-horse race, the National League West fielded four teams in 2025 that showed flashes throughout the year. Those four squads started hot and held a winning record as July kicked off. While the Los Angeles Dodgers would ultimately hold serve throughout September, the San Diego Padres were within […]
If the data that’s collected in the Rockies performance lab in Scottsdale is a tool, then Brandon Stone — Colorado’s manager of performance science — is the handyman holding the toolbox. Stone has run the lab since its inception, which was the same time he joined the organization in January of 2024. Before working for […]

The Colorado Rockies are hosting the San Francisco Giants at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick this evening. The game was bumped into the evening because of blistering hot temperatures in Arizona.

This afternoon, the Colorado Rockies continued to make their spring training transactions as they refine the roster heading into the start of the 2026 season. The following players were assigned to Minor League camp: The decision to reassign Carrigg and Machín does not come as a surprise. Condon, however, was a contender for the first […]
Fantasy baseball drafting patterns can act as a massive crowdsourced opinion poll. Every season, millions of people participate in drafts where they select the players they think will play well that season. The majority of those draft selections are recorded and publicly accessible in the aggregate. Some skillsets are more valued in fantasy than in […]
Here’s a question: Which Colorado Rockie (or Rockies) do we appreciate that should receive more attention? Look, we’re the Colorado Rockies Sickos [complimentary]. We knew that Brenton Doyle was an elite outfielder before most of baseball figured it out. But who are some of the players on the roster (or on the farm) that you […]
It’s no World Baseball Classic championship game, but the Colorado Rockies are back in action this afternoon. The Rockies are putting tires to the road and heading to Goodyear, Arizona for a match-up against a split squad Cincinnati Reds. Veteran lefty and off-season acquisition Jose Quintana will be making his third start of camp for […]
For all the reasons we’ve written about and all the painful innings Rockies fans watched, 2025 was a season to forget. Luckily, there was Hunter Goodman. In his first full MLB season, the then 25-year-old put up the best season for a catcher in MLB not named Cal Raleigh. Goodman, the Rockies fourth-round pick from […]
Friends, we are just a week away from Major League Baseball returning in full force and the Colorado Rockies opening up the season in Miami on March 27. Camp is winding down, which means the team will have to start making decisions about who will be on that plane to Florida. So, without further ado, […]

Kyle Freeland will be on the mound when the Rockies start the 2026 season on March 27 in Miami against the Marlins.

Today, the Colorado Rockies (11-11) welcome the Seattle Mariners (6-16) to Salt River Fields for a spring training game. Starting for the Mariners is Cooper Chriswell. The righty has a 1.74 ERA in 10.1 IP. He’s struck out 10 and has a 0.87 WHIP. Taking the mound for the Rockies will be RHP Ryan Feltner. […]
For the last 13 years, the Colorado Rockies have played a comical game of musical chairs at first base. Since Hall of Famer Todd Helton retired in 2013, 38 players made a start at first base. Much like the quarterback carousel for the Denver Broncos, the team has struggled to find a permanent or even […]
Ethan Holliday (No. 2 PuRP) made his debut with the Colorado Rockies big league club on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs at Salt River Fields. The shortstop – who was drafted fourth-overall in the 2025 MLB Draft – played six innings and went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts at the plate, but also made a spectacular […]
