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, […]
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 […]
