And the results were not very surprising. The overwhelming majority of folks voted that Goodman should be the one retained to […]
TJ Rumfield has been a pleasant revelation for the Colorado Rockies in 2026. After a strenuous mixed-bag of players to hold down first base for the last decade, the Rockies may have finally found some stability for the near future, thanks to Rumfield’s excellent play and composure. During the recent series against the Chicago Cubs, […]
This past spring, the Colorado Rockies new front office made it a priority to acquire short-term stopgaps for the starting rotation. They did this by bringing in three capable veteran arms — Michael Lorenzen, José Quintana, and Tomoyuki Sugano — on one-year deals that would provide depth and baseline competency. This was done, in part, […]

It is important to put your best foot forward when constructing a lineup. The lead-off hitter has been one of the most interesting batting-order roles in baseball history, as the use of the spot has been tinkered with throughout the game’s history. For the longest time, it was simply the spot where the fast person […]
After Monday’s crushing loss that saw that Colorado Rockies bullpen allowing the Chicago Cubs a walk-off win, the Rockies were hoping to even the score on Tuesday. And that they did in a Game 2 win that saw the Rockies defeating the Cubs 5-2. It was the kind of baseball manager Warren Schaeffer has been […]

The pitch was a slider, up. With two strikes and two outs, that’s usually a pitcher’s count – but Cam Nelson had been hunting something he could drive all night, and this was it. “I was just looking for a pitch up, a pitch I could do damage with,” Nelson said. “I saw a breaking […]
Last week, the Denver Post’s Troy Renck laid out his trade-deadline philosophy for the Colorado Rockies, writing that the team is “making progress, but (it is) time for Paul DePodesta, Josh Byrnes to flex muscles with trades.” To summarize, here’s how Renck think the Rockies should approach the trade deadline: “Other than catcher Hunter Goodman […]
In a game that should have been a battle of Cole Carrigg vs. Pete Crow-Armstrong, and one where the Rockies rookie out-produced Chicago’s All-Star center fielder, it was the bullpen that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on Monday night. Carrigg hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and drew a bases-loaded walk […]

Fresh off a franchise-record win, a 23-9 victory over the A’s in Las Vegas, the Rockies will see if they can keep their red-hot offense in Chicago as they start a three-game series against the Cubs tonight. The Rockies (27-45, 14-20 home, 13-25 road) set a franchise record with 23 runs on Sunday, which prevented […]
LAS VEGAS — Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) has made a statement in 2026. Through 57 games, he was slashing .338/.414/.529 with 26 extra-base hits (15 doubles, five triples, six home runs) and 30 stolen bases in 37 attempts. That was enough for him to get the call, and he made his debut on June […]
I was having trouble settling on a Purple Row After Dark topic tonight because I was distracted by the absurdity that was the Rockies game today. By the time it was over, Colorado had scored 23 runs on 24 hits. Every Rockies starter had at least one hit. Every Rockies starter scored at least one […]

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Left-handed pitcher Sean Sullivan (No. 8 PuRP) made his MLB debut on Friday against the Athletics, and it was memorable for a couple of reasons. First, the Rockies and A’s are playing in Las Vegas right now in the home of the Triple-A Aviators. Sullivan last pitched here on May 19, […]
There were plenty of baserunners to go around for both sides in Las Vegas on Saturday night, with the Colorado Rockies and Athletics combining for 19 hits. While the Rockies had their chances, another rough outing from Kyle Freeland didn’t help the cause, and they were never able to stay ahead of the A’s. The […]
