Phillies 10, Rockies 1: Rox offense MIA on Opening Day
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 […]
Colorado Rockies game no. 7 thread: Aaron Nola vs. Michael Lorenzen

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 […]
The “Running Rockies” may be here to stay
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 […]

Blue Jays 5, Rockies 1: Wasted on the way
Last night, with the series opener, the Colorado Rockies soundly defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a 14-5 onslaught. In Game 2, the Rockies hit some bad luck and (again) couldn’t seem to get the offense working (again). Add to that a seventh inning that put the Rockies on the back foot. They ended up […]

Charlie Condon prepares to take the next step
One of the spring training positional battles that Colorado Rockies fans watched took place at first base. Would recent trade T.J. Rumfield get the nod or Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon (No. 1 PuRP)? In the end, president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta went with Rumfield, sending Condon to Triple-A Albuquerque to continue his preparation. […]
Where are you on the Rockies “Hope-o-meter”?
Yesterday, The Athletic published their yearly survey of MLB fandoms and where they are on the “Hope-o-meter.” (Gift link here.)

Purple Row After Dark: What are your Rockies takeaways so far?
What a wild four games for the Colorado Rockies. They are swept by the Miami Marlins in the first three games, losing each game by only one run. Then, they are stranded in Maimi for an additional six hours: Recipe for disaster, right? Next they faced the American League Champion Toronto Blue Jays — a […]

Three overreactions from the Rockies’ opening series
The Colorado Rockies completed their first series of the 2026 campaign, and ultimately went 0-3 against the Miami Marlins and were outscored 10-7. Starting the season with a sweep is never good, especially starting against a team on a similar tier before heading into a gauntlet for the next six weeks. It’s also not good […]
Purple Row After Dark: Now, what do you think about the ABS challenge system?
We first asked this back on February 20, 2026. Now that we’ve seen a weekend series with MLB’s new ABS challenge system, what do you think? So far, the Rockies have not been especially good at using the ABS system, but hopefully, like a lot of things, that will improve with practice. Does it work? […]
