23-25 – Successful first inning propels Rangers to blowout win

The Texas Rangers scored a girthy ten runs while the Colorado Rockies scored no runs at all. This one’ll do wonders for the ol’ Pythagorean W-L. Maybe last night’s loss was the kick in the butt moment the Rangers needed as they came out tonight and immediately scored a couple of runs before turning to […]

Brenton Doyle leaves Rockies-Rangers game

Postgame update: After the game, Warren Schaeffer provided an update. “Left side contusion on that diving play out there,” Schaeffer said. “We’ll know more tomorrow, but that was painful.” Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle left today’s game against the Texas Rangers after making a spectacular diving attempt on a ball in the first inning, […]

Tuesday Morning Texas Rangers Update

Good morning. Shawn McFarland writes that poor defense was the main culprit for the Texas Rangers dropping the series opener against the Colorado Rockies. McFarland writes that Josh Jung in particular felt responsible for the defeat to Colorado after Jung’s error led to two runs scoring in a one-run loss. Kennedi Landry writes that the […]

Rockies coach Brett Pill talks hitting at elevation

Back during spring training (which seems like a lifetime ago, frankly), Purple Row caught up with the Colorado Rockies new hitting coach Brett Pill. (Read that interview here.) In mid-February, Pill was focused on clear communication and individualized instruction for players. Consider where the Rockies are this year compared to 2025 with the (significant) caveats […]

Rockies 7, Rangers 6: A wet and wild win

It wasn’t a sure thing this game would be played to conclusion as the rain fell hard during Bark at the Park night. However, the Colorado Rockies and the Texas Rangers played a full nine innings of soggy baseball with plenty of slips, slides, and runs scored. “I love it,” said TJ Rumfield of the […]

22-25 – Miserable night in Colorado goes miserably for Rangers

The Texas Rangers scored six runs but the Colorado Rockies scored seven runs. Let’s see here… The Rangers fielded one of the least impressive lineups I’ve maybe ever seen. Their starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore left injured after only an inning of work in which he was lucky to have allowed just two runs. The defense […]

Colorado Rockies game no. 48 thread: MacKenzie Gore vs José Quintana

Snakepit Roundtable: going Dutch.

Whenever we feel down, we will always have the Rockies to feel better again, right? Wesley: I’m writing this Sunday morning after tough luck loss to the Rockies on Saturday, so not always! The Angels have it much worse. Still, nice to see Merril Kelly and the D’Backs offense turning it around for a game […]

Series Preview #16: Diamondbacks vs. Giants

The Diamondbacks did what they were supposed to do in Colorado and took two out of three against the Rockies, though it was touch and go there for a while. They remain below .500, however, and they’ll be looking for another series against a struggling team to leapfrog up past that point again. The Giants […]

Making an All-Star case for Mickey Moniak

The Colorado Rockies have, to put it lightly, struggled over the past few years. However, one bright spot every year is the selection of a team’s All-Star representative(s).

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 […]

This afternoon’s rubber match against the Arizona Diamondbacks started after a rain delay that lasted almost two hours.
