Colorado Rockies game no. 57 thread: Tomoyuki Sugano vs. Shohei Ohtani
As the Colorado Rockies aim to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers, there will likely be more than just Colorado and Los Angeles fans eagerly paying attention. The entire country of Japan may very well be checking in as two of their most beloved stars take center stage on the […]
The Colorado Rockies and the late-game woes
Generally, a team needs to play nine complete innings to have a chance at winning a baseball game. They have to compete for 27 outs — executing hit and runs, stealing bases, hitting home runs, making routine plays, and performing on the mound. It’s not always going to work out if those things are happening, […]
Dodgers 15, Rockies 6: California nightmare (with a twist)
It was Eric Lauer’s first game in a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform — he’d only signed with them 17 days earlier — but he pitched like he’d been a part of the organization for years as the Dodgers made quick work of the Colorado Rockies in a 15-6 rout with a bizarre ninth inning. Kyle […]
Colorado Rockies game no. 56 thread: Kyle Freeland vs. Eric Lauer
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies, despite a solid outing until the seventh inning, dropped the series opener, 5-3, to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tonight, they will look to even the series. Starting for the Rockies is Kyle Freeland. This will be his ninth start for the Rockies in 2026. The lefty has a 7.04 […]
Weekly Pebble Report: Pedro Lopez takes himself and the Isotopes forward
Last Thursday night, Colorado Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer brought Pedro Lopez onto the field at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona with a hug. The 57-year-old from Puerto Rico was making his Major League coaching debut after more than 20 years of coaching in minor league and international baseball. “I was already in my office back […]
The Rockies and the amazing purple-colored home run coat
To make a memorable entrance, timing is everything. That’s what happened on April 6, 2026, when the Colorado Rockies pulled off a come-from-behind win over the Houston Astros. Sure, the win was great, but fans probably also remember the debut of the Rockies purple home run coat. The coat announced its presence after Troy Johnston […]
Dodgers 5, Rockies 3: Another late lead bites the dust
The Colorado Rockies had a 3-1 when the fans at Dodger Stadium sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” but the two-run cushion didn’t turn out to be enough on Monday night. The bullpen surrendered four runs in the bottom of the seventh, erasing a solid start from Tanner Gordon, who reduced his ERA to […]
TJ Rumfield hit by pitch, leaves Rockies-Dodgers game
In the bottom of the first inning against the Dodgers on Monday night, Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield was hit by pitch in the right hand. The rookie stayed in the game to run the bases, and even tried to field in the bottom of the inning, but he was unable to stay in […]

Colorado Rockies game no. 55 thread: Tanner Gordon vs. Emmet Sheehan
Tanner Gordon will be looking to help the Rockies break a two-game losing streak and perform better than the last time he faced the Dodgers when he takes the mound for Colorado in the series-opening game in Los Angeles tonight. After a solid 2026 debut, when he threw four scoreless innings against the Astros on […]
Rockies recall LHP Welinton Herrera, place José Quintana on IL
On Monday afternoon the Colorado Rockies announced multiple roster moves prior to their first of three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. Left-handed veteran starting pitcher José Quintana has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow sprain. Quintana, 37, had quietly been one of the Rockies’ more reliable […]
Checking in with Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer through 54 games
PHOENIX, Ariz. — The Colorado Rockies have made it one-third of the way through the season. They have gone 21-32, which is 13 games better than they were through 54 games in 2025. They started off well – going 14-18 in the months of March and April – but have cooled off significantly through May. […]
Purple Row After Dark: Bananas for the Rockies
My kids put up with me watching the Rockies all summer, which is a bigger act of patience than I probably give them credit for. But when Banana Ball is on, they are not just tolerating baseball. They genuinely love it. And I get it. Banana Ball is absurd. That is the whole point. The […]
Diamondbacks 9, Rockies 1: Quick and painful
After three close contests in the desert where the Colorado Rockies lost by just one run in two of them (and won by one in the other), the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks went anything but according to plan. The Rockies were bullied for nine runs while failing to get anything going on offense. […]
José Quintana leaves Rockies-Diamondbacks game with injury
Postgame updates: Quintana spoke to the media after the game and said his elbow is feeling “quite painful.” “In the second inning, I felt stress in my elbow,” he said. “It was the first time I’ve felt [that]. It’s really frustrating to leave the game with the loss like that, so it’s pretty sad for […]
Colorado Rockies game no. 54 thread: José Quintana vs Ryne Nelson
It’s been three close games in the desert as the Colorado Rockies play in Arizona for the first time this season. All three games against the Diamondbacks have been decided by just one run. Unfortunately, the Rockies have now been on the wrong end of two of those games. They need a win today to […]
This Week in Purple: Why did it have to be snakes?
It’s been a weird, slow, and kind of boring month of May for the Colorado Rockies. Generally good for just two wins a week, the Rockies are just 6-15 this month after going 14-18 in March and April. The last week has been more of the same. The Rockies picked up wins against the Texas […]
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4: One-way traffic
The Colorado Rockies dug themselves into a few holes and weren’t quite able to climb out of them. Michael Lorenzen fought traffic all night, and the offense wasn’t able to string together enough hits to put them over the top. They ended up losing, 5-4. Traffic jams prove costly for Michael Lorenzen Michael Lorenzen battled […]
Colorado Rockies game no. 53 thread: Michael Lorenzen vs. Zac Gallen
After a late-inning rally, the Colorado Rockies will look to win back-to-back games for the first time in two weeks. After starting 14-18, the Rockies have gone just 6-14 in May, tied with the Los Angeles Angels for the second-lowest winning percentage in MLB. Only the Detroit Tigers have a worse record (4-16). They have […]
Hoping to sell: An early look at the Rockies’ fastest path to roster churn
The Colorado Rockies’ roster needs churn, and the trade deadline on Monday, August 3, 2026, is the first real chance to create it. They are in a better place than they were last year. A more functional front office and coaching staff, a more coherent roster, and a few useful veteran additions have moved them away […]
Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 2: Rockies flip the late-game script
The Colorado Rockies came into Friday night looking to do more than play another close game. This time, they finished one. The Rockies (20-32) found a way to cross the finish line, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks (26-24) 3-2 at Chase Field after tying the game in the eighth, turning a huge double play in the […]
Colorado Rockies game no. 52 thread: Tomoyuki Sugano vs. Michael Soroka
The Colorado Rockies are better than they were a year ago. That is true. It is also not especially comforting after the last two nights. On Wednesday, the Rockies carried a one-run lead into the ninth inning against the Texas Rangers and lost 5-4. On Thursday, they wasted an impressive first career start from Zach Agnos in […]
Rockies place OF Mickey Moniak on IL, recall Sterlin Thompson
The Colorado Rockies made roster moves on Friday night prior to their scheduled game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.

Moniak joins fellow outfielders […]
Inside the never-ending job of the Rockies athletic training staff
Just a month and a half into the season, the Colorado Rockies injured list has already seen its fair share of residents.

Diamondbacks 2, Rockies 1: Duel of the Fates
