Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
Well, that was quite the way to open the series. The Colorado Rockies survived another blown lead to manage an exciting extra-inning win against the Philadelphia Phillies last night. Colorado carries a two-game winning streak into the matchup, as the teams meet for the second time this weekend and the fifth time already in this […]
At Coors Field, innings can become dangerous in a hurry. A walk. A hit. A bloop. Suddenly, the inning is fraught with peril. That is why a clean double play can feel like an escape hatch: one ground ball, two outs, crisis averted. I love double plays. Double plays have their own little language. 6-4-3. […]
For the first time in 15 seasons, second baseman DJ LeMahieu finds himself without a Major League team. After injury plagued 2024 and 2025 campaigns, the former Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award winner is a free agent. LeMahieu, 37, spent seven seasons as the franchise second baseman for the Colorado Rockies. While donning the […]
For seven innings, the Rockies looked like they had finally found the easy version of a win. Then the game lost its mind. Colorado built a 6-0 lead, gave it all back in one disastrous inning, survived repeated late showdowns with Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, and still found a way to beat the Philadelphia […]
What a way to end the homestand. The Colorado Rockies closed their stop at Coors Field with a comeback 6-2 win over the New York Mets, powered by another strong José Quintana home outing and a late Jake McCarthy grand slam. It was one of the club’s most satisfying wins of the season, and now […]
One of the most exciting things about the 2026 Rockies is the change — and the constant loop of change that is happening as the season unfolds. Outside of the new front office and new influx of coaches, new arms populate the rotation, lineups change, more players field multiple positions, and pitchers embrace pitch suggesting. […]
As the resident broadcaster for Purple Row, I’m always making an effort to take note of those who are calling games. My baseball and softball broadcasting has been heavily influenced by the many hours I’ve spent listening to Jack Corrigan on the radio, which has also bled into how I call basketball games. I’ve also […]
The skies cleared, the temperatures rose, the snow melted, and the Rockies played a game of make-up baseball on a Thursday afternoon with the goal of ending their homestand with a win and snapping a six-game losing streak. Thanks to excellent pitching and an unexpected hero, the Rockies did just that as they defeated the […]
The Colorado Rockies are one a bit of a skid, having lost six games in a row dating back to their series in Cincinnati. After a brief break for some snow, the Rockies now find themselves on the verge of being swept at home by the New York Mets for their seventh consecutive loss. The […]
The slow decline in the prominence of the starting pitcher in baseball has been in full swing for decades. In the place of hurlers that would routinely throw every pitch of a game when called upon has come an increasingly large carousel of single-inning (or less) relievers. The prevailing strategy throughout the league can be […]
Despite a good number of quality at-bats and a surplus of hits to generate traffic, the Colorado Rockies (14-23) left too many men on base as the New York Mets (14-22) continued to heat up with a 10-5 victory. A cold night for Lorenzen After delivering an incredible start his last time out against the […]
It’s not May baseball in Colorado without the annual snowstorm that pops up. Denver woke up to a winter wonderland and one of the biggest May snowstorms in a long while. As a result of the ongoing weather today, the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets resume their series with the second game but at […]
In life, patience is a virtue. In baseball, it’s a necessity. The last seven years of Colorado Rockies baseball have exhausted the patience of fans, as the wait for a competitive team became more and more prolonged. Thankfully, the changes instituted at 20th and Blake by the President of Baseball Operations, Paul DePodesta, have started […]
Thomas Harding of MLB.com is reporting that the Colorado Rockies have signed RHP Jordan Romano to a minor-league contract. On April 26, the Los Angeles Angels designated Romano for assignment; on April 27, he was released. The Angels must still pay the remainder of is $2 million salary with the Rockies only responsible for the […]
As Spring Training was coming to a close, we collected predictions about the 2026 season from the Purple Row community. At the time, here’s how folks thought the the season would shake out by October: We now have a little over a month of games on the books, which is enough time for opinions to […]
When the Colorado Rockies selected right-handed pitcher Cade Denton (No. 42 PuRP) in the sixth round of the 2023 draft, MLB Pipeline considered him one of the best pure relievers available. The hard-throwing righty had just helped his Oral Roberts Golden Eagles go deep in the 2023 College World Series by posting a 1.83 ERA […]
It’s been a tough go for the Colorado Rockies, who have lost their last four games, including the series opener with the New York Mets. However, the Rockies will have to wait for Game 2 since snowstorms across the Front Range led to postponing today’s game. So we interrupt our regularly scheduled MLB game thread […]
The Colorado Rockies announced this morning that they have made changes to the games against the New York Mets due to predicted inclement weather: This is not the first time this week that the Rockies have adjusted their start time due to weather. Monday’s start time was bumped up from 6:40pm to 3:40pm (the Rockies […]
If you’re a fan of the Colorado Rockies, you’re probably looking at the 2026 MLB Draft with more anticipation than usual. After all, this is a rebuilding franchise, and the decisions of Paul DePodesta, Josh Byrnes, and Tommy Tanous will provide a sense of the front office’s plans going forward. When DePodesta spoke to media […]
Today is “May the Fourth (be with you)” aka Star Wars Day. In honor of this very important holiday, I have a Star Wars-themed question for you all tonight: Which baseball player’s name sounds most like a Star Wars character? Since the Mets are in town, I think I’ll go with Bo Bichette. Tarik Skubal […]
The Rockies out-hit the Mets 5-4 on Monday, but it sure didn’t feel like it. Colorado was held scoreless and limited to one hit through six innings, and two runs in the seventh weren’t enough to beat New York. Tomoyuki Sugano had a no-hitter going through five, but gave up three straight hits in the […]
With a spring storm approaching Denver, the Rockies have moved their series-opening game against the Mets up three hours to 3:40 p.m. today. The weather could throw a curveball for the entire three-game series with rain, thunderstorms and/or snow forecasted for Tuesday through Thursday. With warmer temperatures reaching the 70s by early afternoon, thunderstorms and […]
Albuquerque Isotopes super-utility player Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) has been named Pacific Coast League Player of the Week for April 27-May 3, 2025. Given the week he had, the accolade was certainly earned. Last week, the Isotopes played the El Paso Chihuahuas with Carrigg starting all six games. During the matchup, he went 14-for-24 […]
Author’s note: When we started on this series, we envisioned three or four articles that described what the Rockies are doing to support their Latin American players as they transition to playing professional baseball. As we learned more about it, however, we discovered there was much more here — and that the Rockies were at […]
Another Sunday afternoon home game for the Colorado Rockies meant another autograph Sunday, where fans can head down to the first-base side to get pre-game signatures from a handful of Rockies. This has been a fan favorite for many years at Coors, drawing lines that extend up the rows and into the concourse. I partook […]
