The beauty of a Kyle Karros at-bat
There is a little game inside almost every Kyle Karros plate appearance. The pitcher is trying to get Karros to commit to something Karros does not want. Karros is trying to keep enough control of the count so that he can eventually force the pitcher into something he does want. Sometimes that means taking a […]
Failure to convert dooms the Rockies in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals
The Colorado Rockies kicked off a nine-game road trip tonight with the first of a three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals. In the first matchup of the series, the Rockies and Cardinals found themselves in a one-run battle for most of the game. While the Rockies out-hit the Cardinals by a wide margin and […]
Colorado Rockies vs. St. Louis Cardinals game discussion: Ryan Feltner vs. Kyle Leahy

Former Rockie Eric Young making history as first-time manager in WPBL
Eric Young Sr. knows a thing or two about making the most of the moment.

Purple Row After Dark: The Rockies in relation to Spider-Man
Longtime readers of Purple Row may recall a silly little article I did back in 2022 while we waited for the MLB lockout to end. I’m very much an enjoyer of superhero movies, and I was eagerly waiting for the release of The Batman at the time. I also love Rockies baseball, so I married […]

The Rockies may be attempting to “build their plane while flying it”
Since the Colorado Rockies new front office took the reins of the organization, I have assumed they have been operating with an eye towards building a contention window starting in 2029 at the absolute earliest. However, their actions at the trade deadline earlier this week seem incongruous with that assumption. It wasn’t until reading the […]
Purple Row After Dark: 2026 Trade Deadline Reactions
Another MLB trade deadline has come and gone, setting the stage for a playoff run for some teams or a build towards the future for others. This was a pivotal one for the Colorado Rockies’ new front office. Much was made about whether the Rockies would be more active than they have been historically, whether […]

After a dominant series sweep of the Kansas City Royals to begin the home stand, the Colorado Rockies were swept at the hands of one of the best teams in baseball.

Colorado Rockies vs. Tampa Bay Rays game discussion: Nick Martinez vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
After a heartbreaking extra-inning loss on Tuesday, the Colorado Rockies are looking to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays to close out their homestand. Pitching has had a tough time containing the Rays’ offense, but perhaps their veteran right-hander today can put a stop to the skid. Tomoyuki Sugano (11-4, […]
Should Brennan Bernardino have been traded?
The 2026 MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, and nearly 50 trades were made across the league. The Colorado Rockies were relatively more active this time around than in years past as they made three trades during the day, bringing back five prospects and a utility infielder with big-league experience. They also decided to […]
The Rockies can’t hold off the Rays late-inning comeback, lose 9-7
This was Tampa Bay Rays starter Freddy Peralta’s third time to face the Rockies this season following two starts with his previous team, the New York Mets. He came into the game with a 3-0 record at Coors in addition to a 1.23 ERA. But it didn’t seem like it would matter against a persistent […]
Tampa Bay Rays @ Colorado Rockies game discussion: Freddy Peralta vs. Gabriel Hughes
In Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Colorado Rockies were unable to prevail despite a late-game comeback attempt. Tonight, they will look to even things up. Starting for the Rays is RHP Freddy Peralta. This will be his Rays debut given that the two-time All-Star was traded to Tampa Bay from the New […]
A second look at Double-A is working for Roc Riggio and Jack Mahoney
The Rockies named Roc Riggio (PuRP No. 14) their Organization Offensive Player of the Month and Jack Mahoney (HM PuRP) their Organization Pitcher of the Month for July. Both are 24.
