Rockies play the Brewers’ game in 5-2 series-opening win
The Colorado Rockies played the Milwaukee Brewers’ kind of game better than the Brewers did Friday afternoon. Colorado attacked Shane Drohan with hard contact, created pressure on the bases, and turned productive outs into runs. Tomoyuki Sugano used his seven-pitch mix to keep Milwaukee from settling into a comfortable look, while the bullpen covered the […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers game discussion: Tomoyuki Sugano vs. Shane Drohan
The Colorado Rockies (41-63) begin a three-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers (64-38) with some daytime baseball on a Friday afternoon. Brewers legends will take the field after the real game for a postgame alumni contest — an idea the Rockies should feel free to borrow. This is the start of a quick road trip. […]
Will the Rockies avoid 100 losses?
As much as I tried to temper my expectations this season, the never-say-die baseball optimist in me took over. As the Rockies improved this season, with late-inning comebacks and exciting prospects, my hope grew. Instead of just hoping for a slightly better season and building a better foundation for the future, I got greedy. Now […]
Purple Row After Dark: Jordan Romano makes his case for the Rockies closer role
With more than seven years of Major League experience, Jordan Romano is no stranger to serving as a closer. The Canadian right-hander spent the first six years of his Major League career with the Toronto Blue Jays before moving to Philadelphia for a year in 2025, and was most recently with the Los Angeles Angels […]
The Rockies’ history of three homer games
Hunter Goodman has been one of the more delightful developments for the Colorado Rockies over the last two seasons. The power has been unreal as he has emerged as not just one of the best sluggers in franchise history, but also one of the best sluggers in all of baseball. This season has seen Goodman […]
Lessons for the Rockies from the Miami Marlins latest rebuild
Back in May, I took a look at how the Chicago White Sox had managed to go from a league worst 120 losses in 2024 to contending for a playoff spot this season. The Miami Marlins may not have challenged for the worst season of all time, but they also ended 2024 having lost 100 […]
Purple Row After Dark: Trade deadline speculation
With the 2026 MLB trade deadline fast approaching, rumors are beginning to circulate wildly. Earlier this week, the Colorado Rockies traded RHP Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-handed pitcher Nick Frasso and outfielder Landyn Vidourek. I don’t think anyone expected the Rockies to move Halvorsen, but it’s another reminder that the Rockies […]
Gabriel Hughes impresses again, but the Rockies suffer an 8-0 shutout by the Nationals
A game that started as a pitcher’s duel devolved into a crushing loss as the Colorado Rockies dropped the series finale 8-0 to the Washington Nationals. The Rockies are now 3-11 with a -29 run differential in rubber matches and have also suffered their fourth shutout of the season. Another day at the office for […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Washington Nationals game discussion: Cade Cavalli vs. Gabriel Hughes
There’s been plenty of offense during this homestand at Coors Field, sometimes from one team, sometimes from both teams. Now, the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals face off in the rubber match with a series victory on the line. Gabriel Hughes (0-1, 3.14 ERA) will make his third start for the Rockies and second of […]
There’s just something special about Tomoyuki Sugano
When the Colorado Rockies signed Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) for $5.1 million back in February, the move came with some concern and ridicule. After all, Sugano led the American League in home runs allowed in 2025 and was now going to call Coors Field his home. For a team already grasping at straws when it […]
So many hits! But the Rockies outlast the Nationals, 8-7
It was a hot night at Coors Field with a hard-hitting Washington Nationals team ready to pick up where they left off on Monday night. But it was not to be as the Colorado Rockies offense came to play tonight. Despite a less-than-stellar performance from Michael Lorenzen, the Rockies were able to keep up with […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Washington Nationals OVERFLOW THREAD
It’s been a back-and-forth affair at Coors Field, with the Colorado Rockies currently leading the Washington Nationals 7-6. But since there are three whole innings left (or hopefully only 2.5!), it’s time for another OVERFLOW THREAD! As a reminder, here are the lineups: Let’s go Rockies! Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re […]
Washing Nationals @ Colorado Rockies game discussion: Carson Palmquist vs. Michael Lorenzen
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies (40-62) were thoroughly beaten by the visiting Washington Nationals (51-50). Tonight, they will look to take Game 2 and even the series. Starting for the Nationals is old friend Carson Palmquist. (Read his 2025 “Ranking the Rockies” here.) This will be his 16th appearance for the Nationals. During that […]
Weekly Pebble Report: Chrissy Baines is the Isotopes’ first female GM — and she’s just getting started
Chrissy Baines’ Albuquerque story nearly ended before it started. She arrived in New Mexico in 2004, a Georgia kid who had barely left the state, taking a retail job with a brand-new Triple-A franchise on the recommendation of a general manager she’d only spoken to over the phone. The welcome was rough. “I had like […]

Tanner Gordon settles into long relief role for Rockies
Tanner Gordon is settling into a new role in his third season with the Rockies. A year ago, the right-hander was exclusively used as a starting pitcher getting the nod 15 times while finishing with a 6-8 record and a 6.33 ERA in 75.1 innings. His six victories were tops among all Colorado pitchers in […]
Rockies GM Josh Byrnes discusses recent Dodgers trade
After the Colorado Rockies announced yesterday that they had traded RHP Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers for RHP Nick Frasso and OF Landyn Vidourek, general manager Josh Byrnes took questions from media. Below are his comments, which have been lightly edited for clarity. Nick Frasso First of all, Nick Frasso was a high […]
Washington’s 3 HRs best Rockies in a 7-3 loss on a hot night at Coors Field
The Nationals entered the day tied with the New York Yankees with MLB-leading 144 home runs. They hit three against the Rockies on Monday, helping Washington earn a victory and pass New York atop the HR team standings. Two of their homers came against Kyle Freeland (2-9, 7.28 ERA) and accounted for four runs, which […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Washington Nationals game discussion: Kyle Freeland vs. Andrew Alvarez
If the Rockies offense can be anywhere near as hot as the weather, then their series against the Washington Nationals should be an exciting high-scoring affair. With temperatures hitting 100 in Denver on Monday, the Rockies will play host to Washington starting tonight and will need their offense to be on. The Nationals (50-50) lead […]
Rockies trade RHP Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers
On Monday afternoon, MLB Network insider and New York Post baseball columnist Joel Sherman reported that the Colorado Rockies are trading right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for two players. Halvorsen, 26, was a seventh round pick in the 2023 draft from the University of Tennessee. He had a very […]
Jake McCarthy is a key cog in ‘fun’ Rockies offense
Jake McCarthy readily admits that he enjoys being part of the Colorado Rockies ‘fun’ offense. “I just think it looks different every day,” the team’s leadoff hitter said prior to the Rockies’ season finale July 19 against Cincinnati. “I think we’re capable of putting the ball in play and, maybe, in a certain situation doing […]
5 Rockies storylines to watch in the second half
The Colorado Rockies have begun the second half of their season with a series loss against the Cincinnati Reds at home. Tonight, they begin a three-game set against the Washington Nationals and then set out on the road to face the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres. There are 61 games left in the season, […]
Goodman sets franchise mark with another 3-home run game
Record-setting performances are becoming routine for Hunter Goodman of the Colorado Rockies. Just five days after having appeared in his second consecutive All-Star game, Goodman etched his name in Colorado franchise history on July 19. The Rockies catcher slugged three home runs against the Cincinnati Reds in the finale of a three-game series at Coors […]
Hunter Goodman’s explosive day at the plate made Rockies’ 9-6 loss to Reds close
On a hot summer afternoon at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies were looking for their first series win coming out of the All-Star break. Unfortunately, they fell behind massively early in the game and had to spend the rest of the game fighting to come back. What’s important is that they almost did it. These […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Cincinnati Reds game discussion: Hunter Greene vs Ryan Feltner
The Colorado Rockies are 7-7 in the month of July, have 40 wins through their first 100 games, and are just three wins away from matching last season’s total number. The team is hoping the first of those three will come in today’s rubber match against the Cincinnati Reds, along with a series win to […]
