While it’s disappointing to once again be facing a sweep at the end of a series, one must remember the Colorado Rockies are who we thought they were. They are a team at the ground floor of a rebuild and by their own admission are “here for the climb.” By that metric, the Rockies have […]
When the Colorado Rockies left Coors Field on Wednesday night they were on top of the world. They had started the week having avoided a sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday and proceeded to rattle off three more wins to sweep the usually dominant Houston Astros. It was the Rockies’ first […]
On a day when the University of Denver hockey team won their historic 11th National Championship, it felt like nothing could go wrong in the Colorado sports world. Alas, there was no more Mile High Magic to go around for the Colorado Rockies (or Colorado Avalanche) tonight. Things got off to a promising start. Ryan […]
The Colorado Rockies will try to limit the damage after two straight walk-off losses to the San Diego Padres. In good news, the starting pitching has been stellar and both games have been competitive throughout. Thursday, Jimmy Herget opened with a 1-2-3 inning, paving the way for Chase Dollander to take a bulk of the […]
On Wednesday, we asked you to grade the Rockies’ rotation through one start on the road and one start at home apiece (more or less). So far, fans have been impressed. 98% of responders believe the Rockies’ rotation is passing the test with a C or above. Only 2% of folks believe the rotation is […]
After five Triple-A games, Konnor Griffin forced the issue — .438/.571/.625 — and debuted in Pittsburgh’s April 4 home opener. Less than a week later, the Pirates — hardly a perennial contender — announced a nine-year extension that keeps him under contract through 2034. That’s not just a prospect promotion. That’s a team deciding to be aggressive. For an organization […]
The Colorado Rockies battled all night, grinding through tough at-bats before finally breaking through with two late runs — making the walk-off home run that followed all the more painful. Juan Mejia gets tagged with the loss and Mason Miller picked up the win for the Padres. Pitchers set the tone early Tomoyuki Sugano and […]
The Colorado Rockies dropped a hard-fought extra-innings game last night to the San Diego Padres, and the 7-3 final doesn’t quite reflect how close things were, Colorado stayed competitive behind a solid pitching effort and a strong night at the plate from Brenton Doyle, who connected on his first homer of the season. The sting of the loss fades a bit on what […]
This morning, the Colorado Rockies announced that Greg and Carrie Penner, owners of the Penner Sports Group, have become minority owners in the baseball franchise. Major League Baseball has approved the agreement. With this move, the Penner Sports Group — which also owns a stake in the Denver Broncos — will become the largest minority […]
Whether it was via free agency or through trade, Coors Field isn’t usually an ideal landing spot for veteran starting pitchers. There are success stories, of course, but even those usually come with few wins and a ballooned ERA. That’s why having three new veterans in the Rockies starting rotation this year was quite a […]
The Colorado Rockies fought and fought, pushing the San Diego Padres into extras. Unfortunately, they came out on the losing end of a crooked loss, but they showed some absolute heart. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak, and also marked the longest game (by innings) in 2026. Jimmy Herget opened with a clear inning […]
The Colorado Rockies left Coors Field on Wednesday night on top of the world. At 6-6, the Rockies are at .500 at the latest point in the season since 2022, they’re riding a league-high four-game active win streak, and their offense came alive against the Houston Astros. Now comes the test: can the offense stay […]
If you’ve ever been to a game at Coors Field and wondered what that’s song, say, Willi Castro is walking up to, and the clip is too short to Shazam, Reader, I am here to answer your questions. Below are (most of) the 2026 music selections of the Colorado Rockies. Zach Agnos — Jacob Banks’ […]
If you had asked me a month ago how Antonio Senzatela’s 2026 would end up I would have said he had a good chance of being designated for assignment by midseason. He was arguably the worst performing pitcher in the entire league last year and would almost certainly have been released if it hadn’t been […]

For the first time in 14 years, the Colorado Rockies swept the Houston Astros with a 9-1 victory on Wednesday. With the victory, the Rockies improved to 6-6 on the year, marking the latest they had been at a .500 record or better at least 12 games into a season since May 14, 2022. Behind […]
Get your brooms out, friends, because the Colorado Rockies are looking to sweep the Houston Astros at Coors Field! Extraordinary pitching and timely hitting have nabbed the first two games of the series for the Rockies, who are now a surprising 5-6 on the young season and aim for a .500 record for the first […]
Old habits die hard. A major issue for the Colorado Rockies during their seven-season losing streak has been the offense. In particular, especially over the last three seasons, poor plate discipline has hindered the team that has been largely defined by an overabundance of strikeouts. In 2025, the team ranked second in baseball with 1,531 […]
In the series opening on Monday night, the Colorado Rockies managed to outlast the Houston Astros after a big fifth inning. Tonight in Game 2, they picked up where they left off, defeating the Astros 5-1. It was a night of stellar pitching from starter Kyle Freeland and tonight’s closer Antonio Senzatela as well as […]
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies took the first in a three-game set against the Houston Astros. Tonight, they will look to take the series. Starting for the Astros is Mike Burrows. This will be his third start in 2026. The righty has a 5.19 ERA in 10.2 IP. He’s struck out 12, walked five, […]
Good afternoon everyone! The Colorado Rockies have been off to a decent start so far with plenty of lows but also some highs. They are 4-6, which is a much better start than the 3-17 one they got off to last year. With more intrigue around the team comes with more interest and more eyes. […]
We’ve talked at length about how Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) is the definition of a “super-utilityman,” having played every position on the field at least once while also switch hitting. However, in spring training, he also worked on honing his off-the-field skills. Carrigg has always been an aggressive player, as evidenced by his stealing […]
If you ask Colorado Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer to discuss the team’s decision to call pitches from the dugout, he will politely, but firmly, issue a correction. “It’s pitch suggesting.” The nomenclature matters, a point Thomas Harding made back in the waning days of spring training. First, if the coaching staff is calling pitches, the […]
Forget the 9-9-9 challenge. The Rockies completed the 14-8-5 challenge on Monday night. The Rockies sent 14 batters to the plate and scored eight runs in the fifth inning to go from trailing 3-0 to surging ahead 8-3 on their way to an ultimate 9-7 win against the Astros. Juan Mejia closed out the game […]
Coming off a 4-1 win over the Phillies on Sunday to prevent a home opener sweep, the Rockies also have more good news in the form of Ryan Feltner being able to take the mound today. Feltner looked sharp against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31. He’d thrown three scoreless innings with four strikeouts, […]
