It’s been a season of big changes for the Colorado Rockies, and tonight is no different.

After dropping the series opener to the St. Louis Cardinals (71-71), the Colorado Rockies (54-87) look for some magic on Harry Potter night at Coors Field. The Rockies seemed to have yesterday’s game in hand, surging to a 6-4 lead after a strong sixth inning and carrying that into the top of the ninth. A […]

What happened to Charlie Condon?
Two months ago, Charlie Condon (No. 2 PuRP) looked close to running out of things to prove in Triple-A. Condon was coming off a June in which he hit .337/.462/.814 with 10 home runs in 106 plate appearances. The power expected from the third-overall pick in the 2024 draft had arrived without Condon abandoning the […]
Rockies rally, then watch it disappear in 7-6 loss to Cardinals
The Rockies spent much of Friday night letting opportunities slip away, then finally broke through in a four-run sixth inning that turned a 4-1 deficit into a 5-4 lead. TJ Rumfield added insurance with a 441-foot home run an inning later, and the bullpen carried the two-run advantage into the ninth. Then it disappeared. Jordan […]

The Orioles handed Colorado its franchise-record 10th consecutive home loss Monday night when Colton Cowser robbed Jake McCarthy of a potential two-run walk-off home run to preserve a 2-1 Baltimore win. The Rockies responded with a 4-2 win Tuesday before taking Wednesday’s finale 6-5 in 11 innings. Colorado was down to its final strike in […]

The Firebells, who have already locked up the No. 1 seed in the postseason, are in first […]
Rockies RISP production tanked in August
One of the strengths of the Colorado Rockies this season has been their ability to come back and win games late. They’ve been able to come up clutch and overcome deficits, making baseball more fun this season. Including Wednesday’s 11th-inning walk-off victory, the Rockies have come from behind to win 33 games (compared to 30 […]
Purple Row After Dark: 9 Clones
I spend too much time on the internet. That has become clear to me, especially over the last year or so. However, occasionally the internet brings good ideas! And that was the case last week. I was scrolling through Threads and came across this question: So I’d like to rephrase this for baseball into four […]
N.Y. Heights vs L.A. Queens — WPBL Discussion thread
The two teams in the middle of the WPBL standings face off against one another for a final time in the regular season. As things stand heading into tonight’s contest between the New York Heights (6-7) and the Los Angeles Queens (7-6), the season series between the two teams is tied at two wins apiece. […]
Colorado Rockies minor league game thread: September 3, 2026
Since the Colorado Rockies are enjoying a much-needed day off before welcoming the St. Louis Cardinals to Coors Field on Friday, I figured it could be a good opportunity to pay some attention to the farm system with a game discussion thread, as all four Rockies affiliates are at home this week. We will update […]
Connor Norby finally faces foe from 2024 trade
Connor Norby finally had an opportunity to square off against someone who will be forever linked to him. Back in July 2024, when Norby was with Baltimore—the team that drafted him in the second round that year—the native of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, was traded to the Miami Marlins for Orioles pitcher Trevor Rogers. While still […]
Mr. Romano or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the closer
My introduction to baseball fandom was through an invite to an Out of the Park Baseball sim-league run by some of my father’s friends when I was in high school. I was tasked with playing as a general manager of a fictional baseball team filled with fictional baseball players, and I was competing against my […]
Purple Row After Dark: What’s the Rockies story you’re dying to read?
Purple Row is a fan blog. It’s also a fan blog privileged enough to have access to cover games in person from time to time. Usually when this happens, we talk as a staff about which players the person going to the game should talk to, and what they should ask. This process works, but […]
Brett Sullivan’s walk-off single gives Rockies 6-5 extra-inning win over Orioles
For the first time since June 22, the Colorado Rockies delivered a walk-off win as they defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 in extra innings. After quality pitching from both starters, the Rockies ended up rallying multiple times down to their last strike to secure the victory and win the series. Top-notch Tomo After struggling through […]

Colorado Rockies vs. Baltimore Orioles game discussion: Trevor Rogers vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
After a much-needed victory on Tuesday night to snap a 10-game losing streak at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies will aim for a series victory today. Unfortunately, they face a pair of obstacles that will make that task difficult: a left-hander on the mound for the Orioles and a bad record in rubber matches. Tomoyuki […]
Gabriel Hughes still in search of first MLB win
The first day of September almost provided a career first for Gabriel Hughes of the Colorado Rockies. Despite allowing just one run, Hughes departed with a lead but failed to claim his first Major League victory in Colorado’s 4-2 win against the Orioles September 1 at Coors Field. Although the rookie’s big achievement did not […]
How TJ Rumfield’s Rookie Year Stacks Up to Todd Helton
When Hall of Famer Todd Helton retired after 17 seasons with the Colorado Rockies, the carousel of replacements at first base has made for a grueling search to fill his position. For 13 years, the Rockies have tried again and again to find a first baseman who could provide stability and production at first base, […]
Rockies stop their Coors Field skid and defeat the Orioles 4-2
If there was any team that needed a win — really, really needed a win — it was the Colorado Rockies. Their odds of avoiding another 100-loss season were sagging by the day, and they were drowning after their 10th consecutive loss at Coors Field. Making things worse were Monday night’s near win that ended […]
Baltimore Orioles @ Colorado Rockies game discussion: Kyle Braddish vs. Gabriel Hughes

Stu Flesland III Is Forcing His Way Onto the Rockies’ Radar
Somewhere between two emergency call-ups to Triple-A, a disaster day in Albuquerque, and a six-week stint on the injured list, Stu Flesland III put together one of the best seasons of any pitcher in the Colorado Rockies’ minor league system. The 25-year-old left-hander enters the season’s final stretch with a 3.03 ERA across three levels, […]

Will Castro is a Swiss Army knife for the Rockies
When mulling what position Willi Castro plays for the Colorado Rockies, perhaps there is a better question to ask. Just what position does the 29-year-old switch hitter not play? So far this season, Castro—in his first year of a two-year contract with the Rockies—has been penciled in the lineup and seen action at six different […]
