The Rockies and the amazing purple-colored home run coat

To make a memorable entrance, timing is everything. That’s what happened on April 6, 2026, when the Colorado Rockies pulled off a come-from-behind win over the Houston Astros.

Dodgers 5, Rockies 3: Another late lead bites the dust

The Colorado Rockies had a 3-1 when the fans at Dodger Stadium sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” but the two-run cushion didn’t turn out to be enough on Monday night.

Purple Row After Dark: Bananas for the Rockies

My kids put up with me watching the Rockies all summer, which is a bigger act of patience than I probably give them credit for. But when Banana Ball is on, they are not just tolerating baseball. They genuinely love it. And I get it. Banana Ball is absurd. That is the whole point. The […]

Diamondbacks 9, Rockies 1: Quick and painful

After three close contests in the desert where the Colorado Rockies lost by just one run in two of them (and won by one in the other), the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks went anything but according to plan.

This Week in Purple: Why did it have to be snakes?

It’s been a weird, slow, and kind of boring month of May for the Colorado Rockies. Generally good for just two wins a week, the Rockies are just 6-15 this month after going 14-18 in March and April. The last week has been more of the same. The Rockies picked up wins against the Texas […]

Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4: Good Enough!

Ah, Zac Gallen. Our one-time ace, more recently our collective repository of remarkably persistent hopes and dreams and aspirations of the “he just needs to get his mojo back and he’ll be an ace again!” variety, our late-breaking $25 Million Dollar Man (with some money deferred, of course) as we got ready to set sail […]

Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4: One-way traffic

The Colorado Rockies dug themselves into a few holes and weren’t quite able to climb out of them. Michael Lorenzen fought traffic all night, and the offense wasn’t able to string together enough hits to put them over the top. They ended up losing, 5-4.
