Monday Pebble Report: Jared Thomas runs all over the Patriots in final game of Yard Goats’ regular season
Good morning, Purple Rowers! As a reminder, we are doing some experimenting with our morning article lineups over the next few days. Earlier this morning, you read Scaling the Rocks, which features news and links from both the Rockies as well as around baseball. Then, you were able to read the daily Rockpile feature. Finally, […]
Troy Johnston reflects on his first full season in the big leagues
Good morning, Purple Rowers! As a reminder, we are doing some experimenting with our morning article lineups over the next few days. Earlier this morning, you read Scaling the Rocks, which features news and links from both the Rockies as well as around baseball. This is the Rockpile, which will continue to be our daily […]
Scaling the Rocks: Country Roads, Take Me Home
Good morning, Purple Row! Today and tomorrow, we are trying something a little different with our morning lineup. Rather than having one singular Rockpile that contains a feature story, minor league recap, and links to Rockies news, we’re going to split it into three parts: You’ll still get the same information, but it’ll be broken […]
Purple Row After Dark: Who are you rooting for in the postseason?
The Colorado Rockies were eliminated from the playoffs a week ago, but there are still plenty of other teams who will be playing. So far, the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers are the only two teams who have officially clinched postseason berths. The White Sox have a half-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians for […]
Rockies losing skid drags on in 8-1 mauling by the Tigers
The Colorado Rockies really needed a win, in part to break a nine-game road losing streak and a six-game overall losing streak; in part to get them back on track to stay under 100 losses; and in part of salve their wounded spirits. Unfortunately, today was not their day to get that win as the […]
Colorado Rockies @ Detroit Tigers game discussion: Gabriel Hughes vs. Jackson Jobe
Good Sunday morning, Purple Row! In the final game of a road trip that can only be described as “disastrous,” today, the Colorado Rockies (55-93) will look to take the final game of a three-game stand against the Detroit Tigers (69-79). Colorado has gone 25-52 on the road this season, the worst road record in […]
This Week in Purple: Rockies fans believe Hunter Goodman can hit two more home runs
Hunter Goodman has had an outstanding season. He has hit 38 home runs, which not only obliterated his old record (31) but also is 11 more than the next MLB catcher (Dillon Dingler, 27) and 15 more than the next NL catcher (Drake Baldwin, 23). And this, of course, also comes after Goodman spent 10 […]
Purple Row After Dark: Let’s talk no-trade clauses
MLB.com defines a “no-trade clause” as “a contractual clause that allows players to veto trades to certain teams. No-trade clauses are often worked into contract extensions and free-agent contracts as a perk for the players signing such deals.” Such a contractual element gives a player considerable control over their future. Case in point? Jacob deGrom, […]
Heartbreak continues as the Rockies blow multiple leads, falling to the Tigers 11-7
The Colorado Rockies appeared to have this one in hand. Last night, the Rockies outhit the Tigers 10-5 but managed to lose 6-2 because those hits were all singles. Today, the Rockies found a little more firepower, logging 12 hits including two home runs and some extra-base hits. Unfortunately, it was a classic Colorado loss […]
Colorado Rockies at Detroit Tigers game discussion: Tanner Gordon vs. Andrew Sears
A stretch of rough streaks continues for the Colorado Rockies (55-92). The team had a tough time at home in August, losing 10 games straight at Coors Field before winning one against the Baltimore Orioles to start the month of September. The woes are now traveling. After last night’s 6-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers […]
N.Y. Heights vs L.A. Queens — WPBL Playoff Discussion thread
The inevitable happened last night: the San Francisco Firebells advanced to the WPBL Championship! Unlike in game one, the Firebells did not allow the Boston Hunters any glimmer of hope in game two. A two-out bases loaded single from Joely Leguizamon in the top of the first gave the Firebells the lead and the Hunters […]
Mason Adams is giving the Rockies something to watch
Mason Adams did not come to the Rockies with the pedigree of a top pitching prospect. Acquired from the White Sox along with Carlos Vielma in exchange for Brenton Doyle, Adams arrived as an older arm with an injury history rather than a marquee prospect. At 26, he is pitching in the big leagues for […]
Rockies bullpen collapse spoils Mason Adams start in 6-2 loss to Detroit
The Colorado Rockies entered Detroit hoping to snap a seven-game losing streak on the road. Despite a solid start from their rookie pitcher and an offense that out-hit the Tigers, the Rockies bullpen collapsed in the middle innings, leading to a 6-2 defeat. They are now just eight games away from losing 100 games for […]
Colorado Rockies at Detroit Tigers game discussion: Mason Adams vs. Framber Valdez
Those little-town blues didn’t start melting away, and the Colorado Rockies (55-91) didn’t get a fresh start in old New York, getting swept in three games and inching closer to another 100-loss season. Now, they are in Detroit to kick off a weekend series against the Tigers (67-79). It’s been a middling season for the […]
Boston Hunters vs. San Francisco Firebells — WPBL Playoff discussion thread
The No. 1 Firebells and No. 4 Hunters will be back at it this evening in Game 2 of their semifinal series in the first-ever WPBL postseason. If San Francisco wins, they will win the best-of-three series and eliminate Boston. The Firebells won 6-4 in Game 1 on Wednesday in a close ballgame. Boston actually […]
Maybe third season is the charm for Adael Amador
Entering this season, Adael Amador had played in 51 games for the Rockies since making his MLB debut on June 9, 2026. During that time, Amador yo-yoed from Triple-A Albuquerque and Colorado, putting up impressive numbers for the Isotopes, only to struggle with the Rockies. In June, Purple Row’s Skyler Timmins even wrote about what […]
Yankees break it open late, complete sweep of Rockies with 10-3 win
The Rockies hung around for most of Thursday night at Yankee Stadium. Then the seventh inning happened. Colorado had just pulled within two runs when the Yankees answered with six in the bottom half, capped by Anthony Volpe’s grand slam, and turned a quiet, almost competitive game into a 10-3 rout. The loss completed a […]
Colorado Rockies at New York Yankees game discussion: Ryan Feltner vs. Max Fried
Two games into their September stop at Yankee Stadium, the Rockies have scored four runs, struck out 24 times and lost twice. The Yankees won the opener 5–3 before taking Game 2 by a 6–1 score. Tonight gives the Rockies (55–90) one more chance to salvage a game against the Yankees (83–62), avoid the sweep […]
L.A. Queens vs N.Y. Heights — WPBL Playoff Discussion thread
The playoff’s kicked off on Wednesday night with the first game in the Semifinal A series, a best of three matchup between the number one seed San Francisco Firebells and the number four seed Boston Hunters. While the Hunters held their own throughout, in the end the Firebells were able to avoid an upset and […]
Something to look forward to in each remaining Rockies series
The Colorado Rockies only have 17 games left in the 2026 season. If they played football that would constitute an entire season. Instead, because they play the marathon that is baseball, these final 17 games may seem inconsequential. It’s true that the Rockies are eliminated from the playoff race, so in a sense, the remaining […]
A third-inning grand slam sinks Rockies in 6-1 loss to the Yankees
Despite a night that featured some quality pitching from both teams, the Colorado Rockies dropped their 90th game of the season as they couldn’t recover from a third-inning grand slam. The Yankees have now won the series as the Rockies continue to struggle with putting the ball in play and taking advantage of scoring opportunities. […]
Boston Hunters vs. San Francisco Firebells — WPBL Playoff discussion thread
The first-ever Women’s Professional Baseball League postseason begins today when the No. 1-seed San Francisco Firebells host the Boston Hunters at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Ill. San Francisco, led by co-HR champion Keslie Whitmore, finished atop the regular season standings with a 10-5 record. The Firebells beat Boston 13-7 in the regular season finale […]
Colorado Rockies at New York Yankees game discussion: Tomoyuki Sugano vs. Will Warren
The Colorado Rockies showed some resilience in their loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday, but with another 100-loss season just 11 losses away, they will need to show even more resilience as they face another tough assignment. Tomoyuki Sugano (12-8, 5.19 ERA) takes the hill for the Rockies on the heels of a […]
Assessing Zac Veen’s second big-league stint so far
It has been nearly a month since Zac Veen was recalled for his second big-league stint with the Colorado Rockies. After a phenomenal season in Triple-A Albuquerque, Veen was finally handed the opportunity to see if his offseason personal changes and in-game adjustments were legitimate enough to help the Rockies. After 21 games into this […]
Rockies out-homer Yankees 2-1 but get out-scored 5-3
It was a pitchers’ duel in the Bronx, just as we all predicted. Gabriel Hughes went toe-to-toe with AL Cy Young candidate Cam Schlittler, but the Yankees offense was able to get the Rockies bullpen just enough to put them over the top. The Rockies attempted a comeback in the ninth, but fell short once […]
