Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
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 […]
The Atlanta Braves are currently one of both the best and hottest teams in baseball, and the Colorado Rockies couldn’t stand in their way. The Braves came into Coors Field and successfully swept the Rockies in three games, winning the Sunday series finale 11-6 as their excellent offense took advantage of basically every mistake and […]
Suffice it to say the first two games of this three game set against one of the best current teams in baseball has not gone well for the Colorado Rockies. After a bullpen meltdown on Friday and an overall poor performance—with a rare clunker from Chase Dollander—on Saturday, the Rockies are facing a sweep at […]
The Colorado Rockies started the week by sweeping a double-header against the New York Mets, but sadly managed just one more win through the rest of it. During the week, the month of April drew to a close. Their 13-14 record for the month was the best April the Rockies have managed since 2022—where they […]
The Colorado Rockies were hoping their offense would take flight after last night’s showing, but unfortunately it did not. Instead, the offense was limited to just four hits, while Chase Dollander got roughed up for the first time this season. Playing from behind Brennan Bernardino served as the opener, and he left Dollander with a […]
The Colorado Rockies had a prime opportunity to steal the series opener at home against the Atlanta Braves. They jumped out to a 6-0 lead but then, they saw the opportunity walk away. Literally. Crucial walks in the eighth and ninth innings put the Rox in danger and ultimately behind in a game where they […]
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. […]
The Colorado Rockies came out hot. The Atlanta Braves stirred in the fourth, pushed again in the seventh, and fully woke up in the eighth and ninth. A 6-0 Colorado lead became an 8-6 loss at Coors Field. The Braves improved to 23-10, while the Rockies fell to 14-19. For a while, it looked like […]
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 […]
At the start of every baseball season, hope springs eternal — even for the Colorado Rockies. In recent seasons, that optimism of better play quickly evaporated as the Rockies were practically eliminated from the playoffs by the end of April. This April was different. Even after Thursday’s loss to the Cincinnati Reds, the Rockies just concluded […]
