Latest news and updates about the Rockies
The Rockies will look to bounce back after last night’s 6-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Rox put up a fight, but went just 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and ran into Atlanta’s stellar defense (namely Ozzie Albies at second base). The Rockies have yet to win a game against the Braves this […]
After a good night from Ronald Acuna on Friday, he slots back in batting second behind Baldwin, as Mauricio Dubon returns to batting cleanup. The Braves have a fairly soft pitching matchup tonight, so hopefully they can get some more offensive momentum going. Meanwhile, the Rockies lineup can be viewed below. As you can see, […]
Well after two electric series against the two best teams in the NL, the Braves have quite the drop-off in competition, facing the Rockies. They took care of business on Friday night behind Grant Holmes and will now hope for another win behind Martin Perez in what is a favorable pitching matchup for Atlanta, despite […]
The Rockies entered the season with a fairly clear picture of their outfield. Jake McCarthy was expected to spend most of his time in left, Brenton Doyle was the established center fielder, Jordan Beck was in right, and Mickey Moniak was the fourth outfielder. It has not played out that cleanly. Injuries, performance, and roster […]
After splitting a series against the Washington Nationals, the Colorado Rockies looked to start the series in Atlanta on a high note. Despite a solid night offensively, the Rockies left a small village on the base paths as the big hit eluded them and couldn’t keep pace with a dangerous Braves offense. A tough night […]
You can’t get a high-octane, 1-0 complete game every night. The series opener for Braves-Rockies was always bound to feel different than this last few nights versus Los Angeles, and boy, did it deliver on that front. The swing-happy Rockies collected eleven singles and one double off of the Braves pitching staff. But the Braves […]
Get your Friday reds on – it’s nearly time for the Braves-Rockies series opener. Dubie gets to be the featured photo on this today because of the time he left eyeblack on the wall at Coors the last time we faced the Rockies. Join us in the comments this evening, won’t you? I’d originally said […]
After splitting the four-game series with the Washington Nationals, the Colorado Rockies head south to the Peach State to take on the Atlanta Braves in a new series. The last time these two teams met was back in May, when the Braves swept a three-game series at Coors Field. The Braves currently hold a five-game […]
New series, new lineup. The homestand continues with the Colorado Rockies in town for the weekend. For tonight’s opener, Walt Weiss has made some adjustments: Lots to unpack here, but my eyes went straight to the cleanup spot. Ronald Acuña Jr., after having a night off yesterday, will return to right field and hit fourth […]
TGIF, folks. How are we feeling after that series sweep? For most enjoyers of the sport, those three games were hailed as “good baseball.” Now that we’re on the other side of it, I agree, but it was a very stressful three nights. Brandon Gaudin wasn’t lying when he called it “a taste of October” […]
Right now at the top of the Colorado Rockies to-do list is avoid another 100-loss season. It’s going to be close. Currently, the Rockies have a 52-82 record, which means they need 11 more wins to avoid 100 losses and have one more win than the Chicago White Sox did in 2025 coming off their […]
The Rockies had chances Thursday afternoon. A lot of them. Colorado drew nine walks, put runners in scoring position throughout the afternoon and repeatedly forced Washington to pitch under pressure. The Rockies did almost nothing with it. They finished with five hits, went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners on base […]
Last night was not the worst loss of the season, but it was the most humiliating. They got taken to the woodshed by a bad Rockies team. It will be a quick turnaround from that disaster, as they play a day game this afternoon. The boys will look to salvage a split. The struggling CJ […]
Every game not started by Cade Cavalli has just become constant pain and misery. Last night, the team stooped to a low, losing 13-1 against the 52-81 Colorado Rockies. Since the trade deadline, this team lost all the spirit and soul that made them an exciting team to watch in the first half. Was it […]
As my father, a Boston Red Sox fan, was grappling with his own favorite team’s identity last year in the wake of the Rafael Devers trade, he asked me who the “big players” for the Colorado Rockies were these days. I had no idea how to answer that question. He wasn’t assuming that they had […]
As part of the celebration for America 250, MLB’s content team has been putting together 25 top-10 lists to honor the history of the game. Today’s list featured 10 of the nastiest pitches in MLB history. The list featured pitches like Nolan Ryan’s fastball, Clayton Kershaw’s curveball, and Mariano Rivera’s cutter. It’s a fun trip […]
The Colorado Rockies came into this game having just ended their longest losing streak of the season by narrowly beating the Washington Nationals 3-1 on Tuesday. A magnificent start from Tanner Gordon combined with a home run parade from the Rockies lineup made for a remarkable tone shift compared to just two days ago with […]
It may not have mattered in the end, but it sure was big at the time. Pete Crow-Armstrong led off the 6th inning with a double, then advanced to third on a grounder by Seiya Suzuki and remained there when Alex Bregman popped out. Then, with Michael Busch at the plate, PCA took an aggressive … The post PCA Livid, Nearly Ejected After Egregious Balk No-Call appeared first on .
After the Nats scored 13 runs on Monday, there was hope that the offense was getting back on track. However, they came thudding back down to earth yesterday with Daylen Lile’s solo homer being the only offense. Now they will look to bounce back and start scoring more frequently again. This lineup is interesting to […]
Last night the Rockies ended their longest losing streak of the season at seven with their 3-1 win over the Washington Nationals. A short but effective Major League debut from starter Mason Adams (No. 17 PuRP), a Hunter Goodman home run in his return from the injured list, and a string of effective relief appearances […]
In the process of writing about every player who received votes in our biannual Purple Row Prospects (PuRPs) list — this edition it was 68 players across 29 qualifying ballots — I learned a bit about trends and system strengths and weaknesses. So for anyone who missed a few write-ups or even who has a more casual relationship with […]

There has been talk in the Purple Row comments of late about platoons. The 2026 Colorado Rockies have used the platoon system for a while, or at least it has been more apparent this season. Looking for every measure to gain an edge and win ballgames, the Rockies are using platoons as much as they […]
The Washington Nationals had plenty of puppers in attendance at Nationals Park as they welcomed the Colorado Rockies in for Game 2 in a four-game stint. It was, you see, an opportunity to celebrate the Nats mascot, Natty — which is very cool. In keeping with the spirit of the day, fans brought their furry […]
