Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
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 […]
The Colorado Rockies notched a close win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in a bit of an odd game where the final score doesn’t quite reflect how many runners got on in a game where both teams combined for 21 hits. Pitchers and the defense were ultimately able to work out of trouble. Tomoyuki Sugano 菅野 […]
There’s an alternate universe in which the Colorado Rockies had a very different Friday evening. The first inning cost the Rockies the game last night. They almost escaped a tumultuous start, but instead the Arizona Diamondbacks successfully challenged the potential third out, loaded the bases, and piled six runs on Kyle Freeland to take the […]
Hunter Goodman has been good. Again. That is the place to start. Goodman hit 31 home runs last season, became an All-Star, and won a Silver Slugger. And he has been productive in 2026, hitting .247/.310/.513 with an .823 OPS and 11 home runs through May 15th. The interesting part is not that Goodman is […]

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 […]
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 […]
The Colorado Rockies (17-27) are back at Coors Field after a difficult Pennsylvania swing, opening a six-game homestand with a weekend series against the Arizona Diamondbacks (20-22). Colorado went 2-4 through Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and yesterday’s 7-2 loss to the Pirates came with a larger concern than the score: Chase Dollander left in the second […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Update 11:39am MT: Thomas Harding reports that Dollander was removed due to right arm tightness. Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chase Dollander left today’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after facing two batters in the second inning. After giving up a leadoff double to Endy Rodríguez and then walking Jared Triolo, he shook his right arm […]
It was a very happy birthday for Mickey Moniak as he helped propel the Colorado Rockies to a 10-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. If the team is hoping for some more birthday magic, it just so happens to be Brenton Doyle’s birthday, and he could use some of that magic himself. […]
By the time Paul Depodesta joined the organization in early November the Colorado Rockies had already parted ways with their established big league free agents Germán Márquez, Thairo Estrada, Kyle Farmer, and Orlando Arcia. The new-look front office did not immediately host a fire sale of the team’s remaining high-profile big leaguers, but they did […]
In March, we got ahead of things with way-too-early 2026 MLB All Star Game roster predictions. With that pace, it’s just about time to chat about the potential moves you’re expecting or hoping to see by the early August trade deadline. Even though we’re still a few months away, trade talk might not actually feel […]
The Rockies entered today struggling on offense. Losers of three straight, they had scored just four runs during that stretch. Last night they were humbled by one of the best pitchers in the league, and early tonight it looked like more losing was on the menu. However, Mickey Moniak led a resurgent Rockies offense to […]
The Colorado Rockies are on a three-game losing streak after losing last night to the Pittsburgh Pirates because Paul Skenes did the things that Paul Skenes does. The Rockies were no-hit—and had just one baserunner via a hit by pitch—until a Mickey Moniak single in the seventh inning However, Skenes is now out of the […]
When Darryl Strawberry was pinch-hit for in the championship softball game against the Shelbyville Nuclear Power Plant, Springfield Power Plant mogul and manager C. Montgomery Burns explained the decision: “It’s called playing the percentages; it’s what smart managers do to win ball games.” Sure, Strawberry had nine home runs that day, but with the lefty […]
On Sunday, MLB.com published an article titled 1 thing each team can improve upon the rest of the way with nuggets of information from each team’s beat writer. Some teams need to be more productive with runners in scoring position, have more leadoff production or more base stealing, have a more consistent bullpen and more. […]
Pittsburgh’s PNC Park has never been a friendly stadium for the Colorado Rockies, and tonight was no exception, despite some late-game hits. For the first six innings of the game, the Rockies went hitless in the face of Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes. Although they would not be no-hit, the Rockies would be unable to […]
After spending the weekend and going 1-2 against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Colorado Rockies (16-25) will look to reset as they begin a three-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates (22-19). They will, however, have their work cut out for them with a much-improved Pirates squad. Moreover, Colorado has lost five-straight in Pittsburgh dating back to […]
As the Colorado Rockies embark in earnest on their rebuild, attention turns to what’s happening in their farm system, especially with the pitching staff. One of those players is RHP JB Middleton (No. 7 PuRP), currently on the Fresno Grizzlies. Actually, I’ll turn it over to Purple Row’s prospects expert Jeff Aberle: Although he sent […]
This is the fifth installment in Purple Row’s series on the Colorado Rockies Cultural Education & Development Program. So far, I have written about what the program does, its curriculum, and its origins. Yesterday, Renee Dechert wrote a profile on one of the English teachers, and this week we’ll continue exploring how the Rockies help […]
It seems impossible, but one year ago today, the Colorado Rockies fired then-manager Bud Black and named third-base coach Warren Schaeffer their interim manager. On November 24, 2025, he was given the permanent position. As Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta said at the press conference introducing Schaeffer as permanent manager, “I certainly explored […]
