San Francisco Firebells vs Boston Hunters — WPBL Discussion thread
Yesterday the Women’s Professional Baseball League held it’s first ever game as the Los Angeles Queens defeated the New York Heights 10 to 8 after a thrilling comeback in the rain. Today will bring the season opener for the remaining two teams in the league, the San Francisco Firebells and the Boston Hunters. As continued […]
The Rockies ride Kyle Freeland’s first complete game to a sweep in 8-1 win over the Royals
It was one of the hottest first pitches on record in Coors Field history as the Colorado Rockies took to the field looking for their first sweep of the second half against the Kansas City Royals. The Rockies rode a six-run sixth inning in tandem with a vintage Kyle Freeland start in order to cement […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals OVERFLOW THREAD
The Colorado Rockies’ bats are as hot as the temperatures in Denver this afternoon, as they lead the Kansas City Royals 8-1 in the seventh inning behind a Kyle Freeland gem. There’s still a lot of baseball left, so it’s OVERFLOW THREAD time! Here are the lineups: Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals game discussion: Seth Lugo vs Kyle Freeland
Who would have thought a meeting between two of baseball’s worst teams this season would result in a pretty fun series? On Friday we saw Tomoyuki Sugano deal in his best start of the season–and what might have been his last start in a Rockies uniform with the deadline fast approaching–while last night we watched […]
Colorado Rockies 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker, August 2
The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on so far this week. But last night while the Rockies were celebrating their 12-6 win over the Kansas City Royals, the Los Angeles Dodgers made the move: Look […]
Fans think the Rockies will be active at the 2026 trade deadline
The 2026 MLB trade deadline is about 34 hours from now, and the Rockies haven’t been super active yet. They traded Seth Halvorsen to the Dodgers, but have stayed pat otherwise. Some of that, though, might be that they are asking a (rightfully) large return for Hunter Goodman. Additionally, the stove has been lukewarm all […]
Rockies erase an early deficit for a 12-6 win over the Royals to take the series
The Colorado Rockies snagged victory number 43 on Friday night with a 3-1 win over the Kansas City Royals, already matching their win total from the entirety of the 2025 season. As he’s done time and again, Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) pitched a gem and stymied the opposing team to kick off a series. That […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals OVERFLOW THREAD
It’s been a busy night at Coors Field! The Rockies lead 8-4 after being down 4-0, and being held without a baserunner, at the top of the third inning. They scored six in the bottom of the third, and Lane Thomas was traded to the Atlanta Braves in the fourth. There’s still a lot of […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals game discussion: Luinder Avila vs. Ryan Feltner
Happy August and Happy 150th Birthday to Colorado! The Colorado Rockies (43-67) ended July with a win to finish the month with a 10-14 record. They look to start the new month off with a series win as they face off against the Kansas City Royals (46-65) for game two of the three-game set. The […]
Los Angeles Queens vs New York Heights — WPBL Discussion thread
Today, for the first time since 1954, women’s professional baseball will take the stage, and it’s a moment worth commemorating. Welcome to the Women’s Professional Baseball League. (Cory Cohen published a primer here.) First, a note is in order. We realize that Purple Row is a Colorado Rockies site, and none of that will change. […]
Colorado Rockies 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker, August 1
The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on so far this week, but some MLB trades are beginning to shake around the edges, so perhaps we will see some action today. Other teams are getting off […]
What is Troy Johnston’s narrow path to value with the Rockies?
The focus around the Colorado Rockies is rightly on who will be traded before Monday afternoon and what the club might receive in return. There is also a real possibility that the final transaction list will underwhelm a fan base expecting the new front office to reshape the roster more aggressively. One player likely to […]
Rockies match entire 2025 win total behind Tomoyuki Sugano’s gem
The Colorado Rockies closed July by matching their entire 2025 win total. Following an hour-long rain delay, Tomoyuki Sugano delivered 6.2 excellent innings, the Rockies converted five hits and two Kansas City errors into three runs against All-Star right-hander Michael Wacha, and Jordan Romano retired the Royals in order in the ninth to secure a […]
Royals @ Rockies Weather Delay Updates — Game will begin at 7:40 pm

Follow Purple Row for updates. UPDATE: 7:06 pm Current state of Coors Field: UPDATE: 6:50 pm UPDATE: 6:51 pm It appears the grounds crew is […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals game discussion: Michael Wacha vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
The Colorado Rockies (42-67) return to Coors Field tonight to open a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals (46-64). Colorado has not won since beating the Milwaukee Brewers last Friday. The Rockies lost the final two games of that series, had Monday off, were swept in a two-game set against the San Diego Padres […]
Rockies activate Brenton Doyle from IL, option Braxton Fulford
The Rockies announced today that they have activated Brenton Doyle from the injured list and, to make room on the active roster, they optioned Braxton Fulford to Triple-A. Doyle has been on the IL since being removed from a game on May 19th against the Texas Rangers after injuring himself on a diving play in […]
With trade deadline looming, which Rockies should stay and who should go?
Perhaps it’s fitting that in a season where the Rockies lead the league in scoring runs in the eighth inning or later, Rockies fans also have to wait until the 11th hour to see any action before the trade deadline hits on Monday, Aug. 3 at 4:00 p.m. MT. With Colorado’s reputation of favoring loyalty […]
Purple Row After Dark: Looking back at last year’s deadline
Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is just a few days away. On Monday, August 3rd at 4:00 PM MT, the Colorado Rockies will hopefully have had one of their most active deadlines in recent memory. With a new front office helmed by president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and general manager Josh Byrnes, it has […]
Is Hunter Goodman’s defense really something to worry about?
The Colorado Rockies are likely fielding plenty of calls leading up to the MLB Trade Deadline on Monday, with a fair share presumably focusing on All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman. The Rockies have made no indication that Goodman is going to get moved, and the asking price is reportedly high, but it’s still wise to let […]
Colorado Rockies 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker, July 30
The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on so far this week, but it’s a new day, so we can all hope for action. As the day progresses, we’ll keep this tracker updated with the most […]
Will fielding errors define this new era of Rockies baseball?
Before Opening Day 2025, Rockies owner Dick Monfort made this comment:“The infield, quite honestly — and if you like defense, (and) I like defense — will be the best defense, maybe in the history of the game.” That was, at the time and now, an amusingly optimistic exaggeration. The thing is, the basic sentiment wasn’t […]
Purple Row After Dark: Who are you supporting in the WPBL?
Update July 30: The broadcast options had been unannounced at time of original publication of this article. We had erroneously stated that the Opening Day games would be streamed on the league’s Youtube Channel. Today, ESPN has announced a partnership with the WPBL to stream their games: A new baseball league is on the verge […]
Rockies bats can’t solve Padres bullpen in 3-1 loss
After a thrilling back-and-forth affair on Tuesday night, the Colorado Rockies hoped to snag a win in San Diego to wrap up the road trip. Unfortunately, the bats fell silent as strikeouts were abundant and Colorado fell 3-1. The Rockies also went 0-7 when playing in San Diego this season. Another day at the office […]
Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres game discussion: Gabriel Hughes vs. Kyle Hart
Sloppy defense and ineffective pitching led to a gut-punch loss for the Colorado Rockies Tuesday night. The Rockies had four errors and allowed six walks, making it hard to quell the continuous pressure from the San Diego Padres. Now, the Rockies look to snag a series split to close out the short stint against the […]
