Colorado Rockies @ Milwaukee Brewers OVERFLOW THREAD
The Rockies were almost holding their own until the sixth inning when things went sideways on Jimmy Herget. But the Rockies like to arrive at the party late, and there’s a lot of game left, so you know what that means. OVERFLOW THREAD! Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re commenting. Thanks!
Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers game discussion: Kyle Freeland vs. Jacob Misiorowski
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies managed to come out with a win despite bullpen implosions on both sides. Tonight, they will look to take the series from the Cleveland Guardians. Starting for the Rockies is Kyle Freeland. This will be his 19th start for the Rockies in 2026. The lefty has a 7.28 ERA […]
This Week in Purple: Fans think Hunter Goodman will stay with the Rockies
The trade deadline is just around the corner — one week from tomorrow, to be exact! The Rockies have already begun their selling spree, trading Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ideally, there will be more trades. The players and their destination teams remains up for debate, though. The biggest debate seems to be […]
Rockies and Brewers traded blows, but Milwaukee deals Colorado an 8-5 loss with a big sixth inning
This game had all the makings of a prototypical 2026 Colorado Rockies outing. To their credit, they held their own against one of the league’s best teams in the Milwaukee Brewers. Colorado was in the mix early and found a way to rally late, but that middle portion is what did them in. The Rockies […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers game discussion: Ryan Feltner vs. Robert Gasser
The Colorado Rockies secured their biggest post-All-Star break win on Friday with a massive series-opening victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee was 5-1 coming out of the break prior to last night’s loss, compared to the Colorado’s 2-4 record in that span. Their records on the year are essentially inverted, with the NL Central leading […]
A fairer baseball economy could give the Rockies a real path
For most of my life, baseball was simply a game: a glove, a bat, a ball, and a field. I lived for Game 7 home runs and revered Cooperstown. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were larger than life, the Yankees were the Evil Empire and the Rockies were still new. I never thought of baseball […]
Purple Row After Dark: Put on your front office thinking hats
Trade season is upon us! With a little over a week to go before the August 3 trade deadline, it’s expected that the Colorado Rockies will be one of the more active teams as a bona fide seller. The Rockies have already made one notable trade, sending Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and […]
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 […]
