Latest news and updates about the Rockies
Colorado Rockies center fielder Cole Carrigg will be out of the lineup for "a couple days" after he turned heads during Saturday's loss to the Atlanta Braves by giving the middle finger to fans at Truist Park.
Alright, folks! The Braves are going for a second sweep in a row in order to keep things going in the right direction heading into September. Can Tyler Mahle continue getting it done on the mound, himself? Will the Rockies continue nipping at Atlanta’s heels during this series? It’s time to figure it all out, […]
Break out those scrambled eggs and mimosas, because we’ve got brunch baseball on deck this Sunday morning! The Colorado Rockies (52-84) are in a tough spot as they try to avoid being swept at the hands of the Atlanta Braves (81-55), a team looking for back-to-back sweeps after taking three against the Los Angeles Dodgers […]
The Braves have re-added Sean Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim to the lineup, with Murphy moving up to the seventh spot: Murphy made his season debut hitting seventh, but has largely hit eighth or ninth since his most recent reactivation from the Injured List. With Mauricio Dubon in left field, Mike Yastrzemski gets a “day off.” […]

There’s whiplash-inducing, and then there’s whatever the Braves have done in August. The month started with five wins in a row, the bulk of an eight-game winning streak. Then there was a stretch where the Braves won just one of five series, including suffering a sweep at the hands of the Twins. But, they’re reeling […]
In 2022, Major League Baseball adopted the universal designated hitter for both the American and National Leagues. This eliminated the need for pitchers to hit, and changed the strategy of lineup construction and late-inning substitutions. Throughout this 2026 season, there have been numerous occasions where the Rockies had a player who was hot at the […]
The Colorado Rockies had a chance to steal a win in Atlanta this afternoon after, but ultimately it turned out to be Atlanta who came out on top. The Rockies pitching staff performed well for the first seven innings, but it came down to some late-inning weird outfield defense that allowed the Braves to snatch […]
After a late scratch of the Rockies’ starting pitcher, the Braves were hoping to secure a series win against the Colorado bullpen with Martin Perez on the mound. The game started slowly, with scattered baserunners but no runs, exactly what you’d expect in a matchup between Martin Perez and the Rockies bullpen in 2026. The […]

The bad news is that today’s game between the Atlanta Braves and the Colorado Rockies won’t be starting on time. The tarp has been on the field for just over half an hour now , as scattered showers have once again hit The Battery. It’s kind of similar to what happened on Friday night, which […]
The Rockies will look to bounce back after last night’s 6-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Rox put up a fight, but went just 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and ran into Atlanta’s stellar defense (namely Ozzie Albies at second base). The Rockies have yet to win a game against the Braves this […]
After a good night from Ronald Acuna on Friday, he slots back in batting second behind Baldwin, as Mauricio Dubon returns to batting cleanup. The Braves have a fairly soft pitching matchup tonight, so hopefully they can get some more offensive momentum going. Meanwhile, the Rockies lineup can be viewed below. As you can see, […]
Well after two electric series against the two best teams in the NL, the Braves have quite the drop-off in competition, facing the Rockies. They took care of business on Friday night behind Grant Holmes and will now hope for another win behind Martin Perez in what is a favorable pitching matchup for Atlanta, despite […]
The Rockies entered the season with a fairly clear picture of their outfield. Jake McCarthy was expected to spend most of his time in left, Brenton Doyle was the established center fielder, Jordan Beck was in right, and Mickey Moniak was the fourth outfielder. It has not played out that cleanly. Injuries, performance, and roster […]
After splitting a series against the Washington Nationals, the Colorado Rockies looked to start the series in Atlanta on a high note. Despite a solid night offensively, the Rockies left a small village on the base paths as the big hit eluded them and couldn’t keep pace with a dangerous Braves offense. A tough night […]
You can’t get a high-octane, 1-0 complete game every night. The series opener for Braves-Rockies was always bound to feel different than this last few nights versus Los Angeles, and boy, did it deliver on that front. The swing-happy Rockies collected eleven singles and one double off of the Braves pitching staff. But the Braves […]
Get your Friday reds on – it’s nearly time for the Braves-Rockies series opener. Dubie gets to be the featured photo on this today because of the time he left eyeblack on the wall at Coors the last time we faced the Rockies. Join us in the comments this evening, won’t you? I’d originally said […]
After splitting the four-game series with the Washington Nationals, the Colorado Rockies head south to the Peach State to take on the Atlanta Braves in a new series. The last time these two teams met was back in May, when the Braves swept a three-game series at Coors Field. The Braves currently hold a five-game […]
New series, new lineup. The homestand continues with the Colorado Rockies in town for the weekend. For tonight’s opener, Walt Weiss has made some adjustments: Lots to unpack here, but my eyes went straight to the cleanup spot. Ronald Acuña Jr., after having a night off yesterday, will return to right field and hit fourth […]
TGIF, folks. How are we feeling after that series sweep? For most enjoyers of the sport, those three games were hailed as “good baseball.” Now that we’re on the other side of it, I agree, but it was a very stressful three nights. Brandon Gaudin wasn’t lying when he called it “a taste of October” […]
Right now at the top of the Colorado Rockies to-do list is avoid another 100-loss season. It’s going to be close. Currently, the Rockies have a 52-82 record, which means they need 11 more wins to avoid 100 losses and have one more win than the Chicago White Sox did in 2025 coming off their […]
The Rockies had chances Thursday afternoon. A lot of them. Colorado drew nine walks, put runners in scoring position throughout the afternoon and repeatedly forced Washington to pitch under pressure. The Rockies did almost nothing with it. They finished with five hits, went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners on base […]
Last night was not the worst loss of the season, but it was the most humiliating. They got taken to the woodshed by a bad Rockies team. It will be a quick turnaround from that disaster, as they play a day game this afternoon. The boys will look to salvage a split. The struggling CJ […]
Every game not started by Cade Cavalli has just become constant pain and misery. Last night, the team stooped to a low, losing 13-1 against the 52-81 Colorado Rockies. Since the trade deadline, this team lost all the spirit and soul that made them an exciting team to watch in the first half. Was it […]
