DENVER — Kyle Freeland was outstanding the last time he thought he was throwing his last pitches for the Rockies — his hometown team and his only team in a 10-season Major League career. On Aug. 2, the eve of the Trade Deadline, Freeland — having acknowledged that he could be dealt — threw his first career complete game, a five-hit, 8-1 victory over the Royals. Rockies Fan Appreciation Day is Thursday! A deal didn’t happen. Now it’s one more time for a possible last home hurrah. Freeland will ...

The San Diego Padres have done their part. They have put themselves in a position to reach the postseason as soon as tonight if they can beat the Los Angeles Dodgers and get a little help from the Colorado Rockies against the Arizona Diamondbacks. San Diego has a magic number of two, meaning that any […]
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 […]
The Rockies have shown a bit of improvement but are still one of the worst teams in the league. They won’t be trying to compete in 2027. The big question of the offseason is how aggressively they will be shopping players from the major league roster. Guaranteed Contracts Kris Bryant, 1B/OF: $52MM through 2028 Ezequiel […]
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 […]

Aram Leighton and Elijah Evans break down every National League prospect headed to the 2026 Arizona Fall League, going organization by organization from the Braves through the Rockies. Dodgers outfielder Eduardo Quintero headlines the group as the highest rated prospect on any AFL roster, with Nationals flamethrower Jarlin Susana, Diamondbacks righty Patrick Forbes, Giants outfielder Dakota Jordan and Cubs slugger Myles Bailey all set for fall reps in the desert. Which NL org sent the most int...
The Wild Card Race. My final prediction in the preseason was that the Diamondbacks would win 85.1 games. With 82 wins, the Diamondbacks could exceed my prediction, which would give me joy. I’d rather be wrong with the Diamondbacks heading to the playoffs. The Obvious. The Diamondbacks odds of being the third NL Wild Card […]
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 […]
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. […]

A complete overhaul of his habits and outlook after the 2025 season helped spur talented outfielder Zac Veen to his best pro season yet.

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 […]
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 […]
DENVER — Kade Anderson ensured that the Mariners will live to see another day. But his career-best outing in Sunday’s 2-1 win over the Rockies fed much more into what the Mariners are dreaming of in the long term — for 2027 and beyond. Star Trek Night is Sept. 23: Score a Mariners-themed Star Trek Jersey with special ticket! Anderson completed the seventh inning for the first time since earning his MLB callup on Aug. 22, scattering just three hits with zero walks, seven strikeouts, and above a...

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 […]
Kade Anderson had his best-ever performance, and the Mariners extended their suffering another day. The Mariners beat the Rockies 2-1 on Sunday in an uneventful game that was neither short nor long, exciting nor boring, meaningful nor insignificant. It was a baseball game between two bad teams, with just enough happening to be better than […]

The season could end today. Well, the Mariners season has been effectively over for weeks now, but a loss and a Rangers win would be the dagger to finish off whatever long-shot odds remain in 2026. I hate to say I’m rooting for it, but a win today would extend the misery and hand the […]
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 […]
Hello everyone and happy Sunday! The Mariners dropped another stinker in a 5-3 loss to the Rockies yesterday as the team failed to take advantage of a solid outing from Bryce Miller. The M’s will look to secure the series win today with first pitch coming at 12:10pm PT. In Mariners news… Around the league…
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 […]
The 2026 campaign hasn’t been a pretty one for the Colorado Rockies, who are (un)comfortably stuck in a multi-year rebuild. It’s true that as a whole, the team taking the field on a nightly basis is improved upon the one from last season that won just 43 games, but they’ve only got eight games left to at least raise their win total from where it currently sits at 56. The Rockies haven’t turned in a win percentage above .500 since 2018 when they finished second in the National League West, but ...
