Purple Row After Dark: Who would make the 2026 Rockies more fun to watch?

The 2026 Rockies appear poised to win more games than they did the past couple seasons, but realistically, they are only fighting to avoid 100 losses. That’s improvement, but the season is clearly a transitional one attempting to set the stage for a more exciting future. Given that, let’s imagine a world where we could […]

Diamondbacks 8, Rockies 6: Damp spirits as comeback falls short

This afternoon’s rubber match against the Arizona Diamondbacks started after a rain delay that lasted almost two hours. By the time first pitch finally came around one could hardly tell it had been pouring not too long ago. However, spirits were certainly damp as the Colorado Rockies went down early and failed to mount a […]

Rockies option Zach Agnos and recall Blas Castaño

Before Sunday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding reported that the Rockies were optioning Zach Agnos to Triple-A and, in his place, recalling 27 year old right handed reliever Blas Castaño. Agnos had posted a 5.59 ERA over 29 innings for the big league club so far this season. Under the hood, this lofty […]

This Week in Purple: Tomoyuki Sugano notches his 150th career win

On Saturday, pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano 菅野 智之 made his ninth start with the Colorado Rockies and his fifth start at Coors Field. Sugano had a good day for the Rockies, pitching five innings and allowing two runs (both earned) on seven hits, and setting them up for a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, […]

Trevor Story’s trip to IL brings potential for real change

What Is the Role of an Interim Manager? In considering how new interim manager Chad Tracy should deal with Trevor Story’s truly substandard play this season, I have found myself thinking about my own workplace. During my four years on that team, there have been five different people in the leadership role. And for a […]

Purple Row After Dark: Let’s talk Rockies bullpen

Believe it or not, currently the Colorado Rockies bullpen is tied for eighth place with its 1.6 accumulated fWAR. (They are tied with the Miami Marlins.) Their 4.35 ERA comes in 20th, and their BB/9 of 3.38 comes in ninth. Probably, a lot of that is due to Chase Dollander’s working with an opener, so […]

Diamondbacks 2, Colorado 4: Rocky Mountain Sigh

I was pretty excited about this game, after our offense suddenly found itself in the same ballpark as our defense and our pitching last night. Eduardo Rodriguez, my favorite hologram—everybody’s favorite hologram, actually—was going for us after nearly pitching a complete game in his last outing versus the Mets, while the Rockies had Tomoyuki Sugano, […]

Diamondback 9, Rockies 1: Colorado gets bit early in homestand opener

This was not the start to the homestand the Rockies were hoping for. Colorado fell to Arizona 9-1 at Coors Field on Friday, dropping to 17-28 while the Diamondbacks moved to 21-22. The Rockies got bit early and spent the rest of the night trying to catch up, as Arizona turned an overturned call in […]

Diamondbacks 9, Rockies 1: Completely Kelly

Game Summary The Diamondbacks kicked the weekend off right with a big win in Denver. The headline from this one is all about Merrill Kelly and his first career Complete Game. Merrill finally had a good start against the Mets last weekend and he followed it up with quite probably the best start of his […]

Rockies pitcher Chase Dollander appears to have avoided the worst

On Friday afternoon, Colorado Rockies right-handed pitcher Chase Dollander spoke with the media about a right elbow injury that led to him being removed from yesterday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and being placed on the 15-day injured list today. Dollander described his injury as “just a very minor UCL sprain. That’s just what the […]

Rockies call up OF Sterlin Thompson, place RHP Chase Dollander on IL

With their “Rivalry Weekend” series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field set to begin tonight, the Colorado Rockies have announced multiple roster moves. Headlining the announcement is the news that top prospect Sterlin Thompson (no. 13 PuRP) has been recalled from the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes for his Major League debut. Thompson, 24, was selected […]

Is Michael Lorenzen’s 2026 unlucky (so far) or a sign of trouble for Rockies?

I’ll be the first to admit that I was excited about the Rockies signing Michael Lorenzen this offseason. With the new front office being high on him and the 34-year-old’s affinity for problem-solving and a seven-pitch mix, I bought into the hype. I even predicted Lorenzen, who signed a one-year deal worth $8 million in […]

Endy Rodriguez sighting lifts Pirates over Rockies

Endy Rodriguez made his first Major League appearance since June of 2025, and he responded by going 2-for-3,including a double and a two-run single, to lift the Pirates to a 7-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Of course Ryan O’Hearn continued producing as well, as he went 3-for-4 with his 7th dinger of […]

Purple Row After Dark: What former players should join the booth?

Last week, I offered up the discussion about who the best color commentator in Colorado sports is. When it comes to the Colorado Rockies broadcasts, Ryan Spilborghs garnered plenty of support. It’s understandable since Spilly is a humorous individual, but what I’ve always enjoyed is the perspective he brings as a former player and fan […]

Series Preview #15: Diamondbacks @ Rockies

“We have to be better than this.” I don’t know if Torey said this phrase the past week. Probably not. Difference with previous seasons, in my opinion, is that this team was never bound for play-offs. The starting pitching has become worse over the years, with several big signings not living up to the money […]

Pirates 7, Rockies 2: Dollander’s injury hangs over finale loss

The Colorado Rockies were unable to replicate their offensive production from Wednesday, but the major concern from their 7-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates lies with a concerning injury to their most promising starting pitcher. The Rockies finish the road trip with a 2-4 record and two series losses. Danger for Dollander? The Rockies hoped […]

After giving up a leadoff double to Endy Rodríguez and then walking Jared Triolo, he shook his right arm […]
