Diamondbacks bite early and often as Rockies limp to 100th loss, 7-2
It wasn’t the (potential) final Coors Field game Kyle Freeland dreamed of. Unfortunately, the Rockies lost their 100th game of the season, and he only pitched three innings in the loss. The Rockies mustered just eight baserunners, and only two came around to score early in the game they lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-2. […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks game discussion: Michael Soroka vs. Kyle Freeland
Tonight’s game is important for a number of reasons. The top reason, of course, is that the Colorado Rockies currently have 99 losses. If they fall tonight, it will officially cement another 100-loss season. Additionally, it could mark Kyle Freeland’s final start at Coors Field as a member of the Colorado Rockies. Freeland has been […]
L.A. Queens vs San Francisco Firebells — WPBL Championship Discussion thread
At the start of August, the WPBL hosted it’s inaugural opening day. The weather forced a rain delay and there were some growing pains in terms of broadcast presentation but the play on the field shown through with an unforgettable rain soaked final inning comeback victory for the Los Angeles Queens. The very next day […]
Charlie Condon reflects on his season in Triple-A Albuquerque
Charlie Condon (No. 2 PuRP) was drafted third-overall in the 2024 draft and has been a highly touted prospect ever since. Condon was a walk-on for the University of Georgia his freshman year, and ultimately won the Golden Spikes Award during his senior year before being drafted by the Rockies. He has rocketed up the […]
Rockies director of player development Chris Forbes discusses where the Rockies system is and players to watch
On Saturday, Chris Forbes, the Colorado Rockies senior director of player development, answered questions for Purple Row. He explained organizational changes he’s seen over the course of the last year, players to watch for in the Rockies system, and how he’ll handle a lockout — if there is one. Below are a few takeaways from […]
Scaling the Rocks: The last home series
Good morning, Purple Row! The Colorado Rockies were off on Monday, so everyone is rested and ready as the final week of the 2026 MLB season begins to unfold. Tonight, the Rockies will welcome the Arizona Diamondbacks to Coors Field in what promises to be a wild week for the D-backs and Padres as each […]
Purple Row After Dark: Checking in on your Nolan Arenado feelings
This season marks the sixth since the Rockies traded Nolan Arenado to the St. Louis Cardinals. For the first time since he left Colorado, the Rockies aren’t paying part of his salary this season. The eight-time All-Star third baseman is having a resurgence with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2026, hitting .247/.322/.455 with 27 homers and […]
5 things to watch for in Rockies final Coors Field series of 2026
After a promising start to the season (remember when the Rockies went 13-14 in April?), the Rockies are one loss away from their fifth straight 100-plus-loss season. That’s largely due to a 7-25 skid since Aug. 17. With Colorado (57-99) hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks (82-74) in its home finale Tuesday through Thursday, it’s hard to […]
Thompson and Condon and Ritter, oh my!
The Albuquerque Isotopes finished their 2026 campaign on Sunday with a 14-7 loss to the Salt Lake Bees (LA Angels). But three Isotopes hit home runs in the one-touchdown loss: Sterlin Thompson (No. 16 PuRP), Charlie Condon (No. 2 PuRP), and Ryan Ritter. Thompson’s was a two-run shot in the first inning to put the […]
TJ Rumfield & Gabriel Hughes reflect on their rookie seasons
Gabriel Hughes and TJ Rumfield are two very different players. Hughes was drafted by the Rockies in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft and has worked his way up through their minor league system. Rumfield was acquired from the Yankees in an offseason trade. Rumfield made the Opening Day roster; Hughes debuted mid-season. […]
Monday Scaling the Rocks: The Immortal Todd Helton
Good morning, Purple Row! After gathering feedback and doing some deliberating, we’ve decided to make last week’s Rockpile experiments permanent. Since the minor league season has ended, today will be the final daily Pebble Report, but we will continue to post a separate links roundup every morning. Once the MiLB season starts up again, we […]
Rockies Reacts Results: Fans believe TJ Rumfield will finish with 76-80 walks in 2026
TJ Rumfield has had a remarkable rookie season. One of the many remarkable things about it is that he not only broke Dexter Fowler’s rookie walk record set in 2009 (67), but he absolutely smashed it with six games to go. As of Sunday evening, Rumfield has 71 walks. In the final six games, the […]
Purple Row After Dark: If the Rockies could steal one player
The Colorado Rockies are 57–99. One more loss will give them their fourth consecutive 100-loss season, and they are almost certainly going to finish with the worst record in baseball. These are absurd times for the Rockies, so I have devised an appropriately absurd rule to help them out. The team with the worst record […]
Rockies offense falls short as they lose to the Mariners 2-1
The 2026 Colorado Rockies have struggled, among other things, to win rubber matches. They are 6-14 when trying to win a series this year, but 3-1 in their last four, which suggested improvement and possibility. Today’s match against the Seattle Mariners, however, left the Rockies 6-15 in rubber matches as the visiting team managed a […]
Seattle Mariners @ Colorado Rockies game discussion: Kade Anderson vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
After dropping the first game to the Seattle Mariners (72-83) but winning the second, the Colorado Rockies (57-98) will look to take the rubber match today. Incidentally, the Rockies logged their 36th come-from-behind win last night and their 29th by two or fewer runs. Their 46 losses in games decided by two or fewer runs […]
San Francisco Firebells vs L.A. Queens — WPBL Championship Discussion thread
The Firebells didn’t go down without a fight, rallying for a decisive 10-5 victory over the L.A. Queens on Saturday night to force Game 4 today in the best-of-five Women’s Pro Baseball League Championship in Springfield, Ill. In the 10-5 victory, Joely Leguizamon hit a solo homer as one of eight San Francisco players to […]
This Week in Purple: Here for the fall
Just one week from today, the 2026 Colorado Rockies season will draw to a close. Despite the looming lockout and what promises to be an acrimonious labor dispute, it’s an end that some Rockies fans are no doubt ready for. Saturday night’s victory over the Seattle Mariners in honor of Todd Helton brought back some […]
As part of their tribute to Todd Helton, Rockies beat the Mariners 5-3
Entering tonight with a taxed bullpen and a starting pitcher fresh off the injured list, the Colorado Rockies managed to battle back from an early deficit to earn a victory on a day of celebration for Todd Helton, a franchise legend. Manager Warren Schaffer described the game as “one of my favorite wins of the […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Seattle Mariners game discussion: José Quintana vs. Bryce Miller
Last night the Colorado Rockies lost the first game of their series against the Seattle Mariners on a ninth inning home run by Lazaro Montes. It was the latest 4-12 start to the month of September that has all but extinguished their hopes of avoiding a fourth straight 100 loss season. With 98 losses on […]
Rockies reinstate José Quintana, make other roster moves
Today, the Colorado Rockies announced the following roster moves: Quintana had been on the Injured List since May 24 when he left a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was subsequently diagnosed with a left elbow strain. Prior to his injury, Quintana logged 41.0 innings across nine starts, posting a 5.27 ERA. He will make […]
San Francisco Firebells vs L.A. Queens — WPBL Championship Discussion thread
The first Championship of the Women’s Professional Baseball League could be decided tonight. The Los Angeles Queens are in the drivers seat heading into game three of the leagues inaugural Championship series. Game one was a close back-and-forth affair throughout that ultimately went the Queens way. Game two, on the other hand, looked like the […]
Will the real Colorado Rockies please stand up?
There is an old saying that water finds its level. The 2026 Rockies are careening toward a fourth consecutive season with triple-digit losses. They are a bad team, and with eight games remaining, there is little left to be decided. But this season has not always felt like watching a terrible team. There have been […]
Rockies create plenty of chances, but Mariners escape with 5-4 win
The Colorado Rockies spent most of Friday night finding ways to create offense. They piled up 15 hits. They stole five bases. They recovered from an ugly first inning, erased a three-run deficit and eventually took the lead. They also left 12 runners on base, failed to score with runners at the corners in the […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Seattle Mariners game discussion: Bryan Woo vs. Gabriel Hughes
There is not much on the line at Coors Field this weekend. The Colorado Rockies enter tonight’s series opener at 56-97, three losses away from their fourth consecutive 100-loss season. They are 4-11 in September and 7-23 over their last 30 games, turning another difficult year into an ugly finish. The Seattle Mariners reached the […]
Should Ryan Feltner become a full-time Rockies reliever?
The journey to the Rockies rotation has been anything but an easy path for Ryan Feltner. Since the Rockies signed the Ohio State righty on June 13, 2018, the Rockies organization has placed Feltner on the injured list 10 times, ranging from the 7-day IL to 60-day. The result has been a career line that […]
