Latest blog entries from Denver teams across every league
We are on the eve of official World Baseball Classic play! Last night, Sam Bradfield asked for predictions of who will win. I want to build off of that tonight and ask this: Which Rockies do you think will have the best showing? So, Purple Row Night Owls, who ya got? Please keep in mind […]
Today, the Colorado Rockies took a positive shellacking at the hands of Team USA, losing 14-4. For more game highlights, click here. Let’s start with comments from manager Warren Schaeffer: Here’s starting pitcher Kyle Freeland, who is working on a new cutter: Gabriel Hughes weighed in on his day: Mickey Moniak weighed in on hitting […]
A lot could be said about the game the other day between the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets: Jokic’s antics, the officiating, or the absolute battle we saw between Jamal Murray and Keyonte George. Something else entirely caught my eye, though. When I saw it at first I was beyond perplexed, but as I […]
The Dodgers take a break from Cactus League action to host Team Mexico on Wednesday. It’s one of 15 games across Arizona and Florida on Wednesday with a World Baseball Classic team tuning up by playing a major league team.

The World Baseball Classic is in full swing, as teams have begun playing their exhibition games before they head off to Tokyo, San Juan, Houston or Miami for the next steps of their journey (though Pool C is already in Japan and will begin pool play on Wednesday at 10pm ET/8pm MT). Team USA boasts […]
2025 was a bad year for the Colorado Rockies that included many mid-season shakeups. On Mother’s Day, we saw long-time manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond relieved of their duties and Warren Schaeffer promoted to interim manager. (I remember the date because I was at Disneyland when the news broke.) It was something […]
One of the biggest problems for the 2025 Colorado Rockies was hitting the fastball. It was such a problem that I wrote a piece in early May — which included a photo edit I’m rather proud of — highlighting the issue for the team after just a month into the season. That was when the […]
The Islanders and their five-game win streak touched down in California and got their skating legs going at practice Tuesday.

After an orange-heavy kickoff, this trip includes Los Angeles tomorrow and San Jose […]
Late Tuesday night the Colorado Avalanche completed a successful Southern California back-to-back in their 5-1 disposal of the Anaheim Ducks. It capped off a stretch of five games in seven nights following the Olympic break and the Avalanche now get two days of rest before the trade deadline. The Game Colorado got the scoring going […]

The Calgary Flames are closing in on moving Nazem Kadri and are trying to maximize the return in the ongoing bidding war. Kadri's made it clear to GM Craig Conroy he'll accept a trade this season, and prefers to be moved to a contender. The Utah Mammoth, Dallas Stars, Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, Boston Bruins, and Montreal Canadiens have all been rumored to have made offers for Kadri in the past two weeks. Conroy is looking for a first-round pick and a top prospect in return for t...
For years, we have been using this part of the “State of the Position” series to advocate for change, and, Reader, this year we got it. My word, did we get it. On October 1, former Colorado Rockies manager Bill Schmidt announced that he would be leaving the organization. The move came on the heels […]
Santiago Espinal had two more hits in three at-bats in the Dodgers’ win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday in Scottsdale, keeping his Cactus League on-base percentage at a tidy .667, having reached base 12 times in 18 at-bats. Espinal has eight hits, including two doubles this spring, plus four walks, putting his best foot […]

A late third-period goal from defenseman Devon Toews proved to be the difference, while Martin Nečas delivered a dominant three-point performance (one goal, two assists). Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog each contributed […]
It’s down to the nitty gritty here in Jazz Nation. The playoffs are out-of-sight, the injuries are stacking, and the league is zeroed-in and hoping to make a don’t-tank example out of us. Do we continue losing naturally (which I still believe we have been doing) or do we put all of our chips in […]
The World Baseball Classic starts this week, and the Colorado Rockies have 11 players representing various countries: The Rockies will face off against Team USA in an exhibition game at Salt River Fields on Wednesday, and Kyle Freeland will face his former team. So the question tonight is this: which team are you rooting for […]
The Colorado Avalanche are seeking to bolster their lineup ahead of the Stanley Cup playoffs. According to one NHL Insider, the team would keep its eyes within the Western Conference as they seek to add forward Kiefer Sherwood from the San Jose Sharks. Sherwood was recently acquired from the Vancouver Canucks for AHL defenseman Cole Clayton and two 2nd-round picks (2026 & 2027). The @Avalanche are poking around and “monitoring closely” the Sherwood situation in SAN Jose. ...
The Colorado Avalanche look to complete a season sweep over the Los Angeles Kings tonight at Ball Arena in Denver. The Kings have struggled with a persistent lack of scoring, prompting their acquisition of Artemi Panarin earlier this season. Unfortunately, the move hasn’t delivered the offensive spark they expected, contributing to the firing of head […]

It seems like a natural fit, doesn't it? With Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri now firmly out there and gettable on the trade market, many people have a reunion back with the Colorado Avalanche on their bingo cards. But according to insider Elliotte Friedman, speaking on the NHL on TNT , he sees a major obstacle in the way of that happening. And that 'obstacle' is called Cale Makar. The game's best defenseman has only one year remaining on his deal with the Avs, and he's eligible ...
