Arizona Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said home plate umpire Doug Eddings made a "power-hungry move" by telling rookie pitcher Hancel Rincon to fix his hat in the middle his MLB debut Friday at the Colorado Rockies.
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 […]
Game Summary Andrea Pallante pitched 5 stout innings to get the Cardinals started. Gorman, Saggese, Burleson and Walker drove in early runs to stake the Cardinals to an early 4-1 lead. Unfortunately, the Cardinal bullpen melted down yet again, with a disastrous debut by Hancel Rincon, allowing the Rockies to go up 6-4. But a […]
Umpire Doug Eddings missed multiple important calls, had a laughable reason for a pitch violation on Hancel Rincon, and ejected Oliver Marmol in the St. Louis Cardinals game against the Colorado Rockies.
The St. Louis Cardinals head east from California, but not that far east as they’ll land in Denver on Friday for a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. Andre Pallante returns from the injured list to the mound for the Cardinals while the Rockies will give the ball to Ryan Feltner. First pitch is scheduled […]
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 […]
Coming off a good series in Los Angeles (any winning series there is good), the Cardinals make their only 2026 trip into Denver this weekend for a three-game set. Grandkids will be in tow as I take in these games in person. The Rockies appear to be playing out the string, prepping more for next […]
The Rockies announced that they have claimed left-hander Hayden Harris off waivers from the Braves. Atlanta designated him for assignment earlier this week. Colorado had an open 40-man roster spot and is assigning Harris to Triple-A Albuquerque, so no corresponding moves are needed. Harris, 27, is a side-arming lefty with a very limited big league […]
The St. Louis Cardinals could get right back in the playoff chase this weekend with a sweep of the Colorado Rockies after they took a series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. If not, their season is likely over.
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 […]
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 […]
Come September, the Rockies become a mirror that show you as you truly are.

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 […]
DENVER—The Orioles’ trip to Coors Field ended in the most painful way possible when, after taking a two-run lead in the top of the 11th, reliever Grant Wolfram allowed three runs in the bottom of the inning for a 6-5 loss before 15,616 on Wednesday. Brett Sullivan’s two-run single was the game-winner. After Colton Cowser […]
A team that wants to stay in the postseason race can’t lose a game like this one. The Orioles faced a Rockies starting pitcher, in Coors Field, with an ERA over 5. They had their own starting pitcher, Trevor Rogers, set a career high with 11 strikeouts over an excellent start that took him into […]
The Baltimore Orioles are competing for an American League Wild Card position. They surely entered Colorado against a lackluster Rockies team hoping to at least win two out of three games, and possibly even earn a sweep. Instead, the Orioles suffered a brutal walk-off loss in the series finale on Wednesday, a defeat that led […]

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 […]
One reason why the Orioles are where they are right now is they just can’t keep up a consistent high level of play. This is playing out in miniature over the first two games against the Rockies. Monday’s game brought the highest of highs with Colton Cowser’s amazing game-ending home run robbery to give the […]
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 […]
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 […]
With the Colorado Rockies barreling toward another last-place finisher, these players could be shown the door before the regular season is finished.
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, […]
Every generation, a Holliday will lead the Rockies to victory.

DENVER—In the bottom of the seventh inning, Orioles manager Craig Albernaz decided to introduce Luis De León to major league baseball. His introduction lasted five batters and produced two runs for the Colorado Rockies. Those two runs broke a 2-2 tie and gave the Rockies a 4-2 win over the Orioles before 16,334 at Coors […]
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 […]
