Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
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, […]
TJ Rumfield has had a whirlwind spring. First, he was traded from the New York Yankees to the Colorado Rockies in January in exchange for reliever Angel Chivilli. Then, he absolutely tore through spring training — hitting .286/.359/.554 with five home runs in 23 games. Additionally, he had more walks (5) than strikeouts (2). That […]
The Colorado Rockies are now through 12 games of the 2026 season. While we are clearly still working with small sample sizes in terms of performance data, which offseason MLB acquisition do you think has been the most successful so far? Consider some of the choices: This is probably a question we’ll return to as […]
The Colorado Rockies successfully avoided the sweep in their first home series of the season, putting away the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Very strong pitching—a key theme through most of the nascent season thus far—helped the Rockies keep the Phillies at bay while three home runs from Rockies bats powered them […]
After a blowout loss on their Home Opener and yet another one-run loss last night, the Colorado Rockies stand just one game away from being swept at home by the Philadelphia Phillies. Believe it or not, the problem hasn’t been the pitching. Only two of the Rockies’ seven losses this season have been by more […]
The Colorado Rockies finished their first week and have scored 26 total runs. While that sounds like a good amount, 14 of those runs came in Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Otherwise, they’ve been held to 12 total runs and have been held to three or fewer runs in every other game. They’re […]
Do you feel déjà vu? As was often the case in the two series against the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays, the Colorado Rockies wasted wonderful pitching with atrocious hitting. Strikeouts and men left on base loomed large, as the Rox had their chances only to come up just one run short as the […]
Welp… that wasn’t fun. The Philadelphia Phillies demolished the Colorado Rockies 10-1 in yesterday afternoon’s Coors Field opener. An intriguing pitching matchup lies ahead in game two of the homestand. Following José Quintana’s injury and corresponding move to the 15-day injured list, the Rockies are forced to shuffle their starting rotation during just the second […]
The Colorado Rockies announced Saturday afternoon that they had claimed left-handed reliever Sammy Peralta off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. The Rockies have optioned Peralta to the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes. Peralta, 27, is not related to left-handed reliever Luis Peralta, who is also currently in Albuquerque. He was originally selected by the Chicago White Sox […]
It’s only been a week, which means most of what we’re working with is built on quick impressions and small samples. There isn’t enough here yet for real trends — just a collection of games shaping the early feel of the season. And the early feel? It’s different. They’re running the bases more aggressively, getting contributions from new faces, playing solid defense, and — […]
Just to be clear, we’re not starting a book club (though maybe we should in the offseason). Instead, we want you to help us do a bit of planning for the future. So far this season, we’ve done the “State of the Position” series and a lot of player and coach profiles. That’s all is […]
Today was not the party the Rockies or their fans were hoping for. For a moment, it felt like it might be possible. A perfect afternoon, a packed house, and Hunter Goodman receiving his Silver Slugger before first-pitch set an optimistic tone. Then the first inning happened. Michael Lorenzen never settled in. Trea Turner led off with a double, walks […]
The Rockies had an off-day on Thursday after capturing their first series win of the season on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling extra-innings victory. It has been an exciting opening week, filled with competitive games and intriguing storylines. Last year, the Colorado Rockies came into their home opener at 1-5 with a -15 run differential. This year, they […]
Happy Home Opener, everyone! The Rockies had a lot of turnover this offseason and we needed to get to know the new coaching staff. As it turns out, Purple Row also had some turnover with Mac Wilcox headed off to do other projects, but we’re also pleased to welcome Cory Cohen, Zeke Perez Jr., and […]
Today is the day: Baseball is back in Denver. Despite losing 119 games last season, when the Home Opener comes to the Mile High City, hope springs eternal. After starting the season on a six-game road trip in Miami and Toronto, the Rockies (2-4) are hosting the Philadelphia Phillies (3-3) today at 2:10 p.m. As […]

The Colorado Rockies have their first day off of the 2026 regular season following their surprise series victory over the defending American League champion Toronto Blue Jays.

Everyone in the Rockies 2026 Opening Day starting rotation has had a chance to take the mound at least once. Kyle Freeland has had a second start but for comparison sake, let’s look at everyone’s first time taking the ball this season. Process The Rockies message to their pitchers this offseason couldn’t have been clearer: […]
What began as a pitcher’s duel resulted in an extra-inning victory for the Colorado Rockies as they defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 to conclude their first road trip of the season.

Finishing out a road trip in which they are 1-4, the Colorado Rockies look to go out on a high note with a series win before kicking off their home opener on Friday. Unfortunately for them, they face a tough customer for the Toronto Blue Jays (4-1), as it will be a battle of the […]
They’ve talked about it for years now. The Colorado Rockies would enter spring training with the prerogative of stealing more bases in the regular season, especially after the implementation of bigger bases in 2023. Players would run free during Cactus League action, particularly the speedsters, in the hopes that it would carry over into the […]
