Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
Today, the Colorado Rockies announced a series of roster moves, most notably, the promotion of RHP Eiberson Castellano from Triple-A Albuquerque. The 25 year old will be making his Major League debut with his first appearance, bringing to eight the total number of Rockies MLB debuts this season. There was some hint of this move […]
More than 700 players have appeared in a game for the Rockies. Most do not last long. The average Rockies tenure is much closer to two years than five, which makes the long-timers easy to remember and the short stays easy to lose. This is not about franchise pillars, or random cameos, but Rockies who packed most of […]
There was no late-night luck in Vegas for the Rockies. Sean Sullivan gave Colorado an encouraging first look in his major league debut, and Cole Carrigg delivered the swing that briefly looked like it might define the night. But the lead did not hold. The Athletics answered Carrigg’s three-run homer with four unanswered runs, including […]

The Colorado Rockies are opening a six-game road trip tonight with three games against the Athletics in Las Vegas, where the A’s are playing a rare ‘home’ series away from their temporary home in Sacramento. After this series, the Rockies head to Wrigley Field for three against the Chicago Cubs. The nomadic Athletics enter at […]
The Colorado Rockies are reportedly promoting left-handed pitcher Sean Sullivan (No. 8 PuRP) to start Friday night’s game against the Athletics. The Gazette’s Kevin Henry was among the first to report on the news. The Rockies have yet to officially announce the move. Sullivan was the Rockies’ second-round pick in the 2023 draft after pitching […]
On the heels of Cole Carrigg’s (No. 4 PuRP) call up earlier this week and Sterlin Thompson’s (No. 13 PuRP) a few weeks back, we asked you who you thought would be the next prospect to be called up. It wasn’t much of a surprise, but the majority of folks believe Zac Veen (No. 9 […]
There’s no doubt that the Colorado Rockies are improved from 2025. They’ve got a better record than they had at this point in the season last year, and in some areas, they’ve made clear improvement. However, the Rockies still rank dead last in runs allowed at 397, which has the basement rankings sealed at 32 […]
As a reminder, last weekend, Colorado Rockies president of baseball operations talked with media about where the Colorado Rockies are at this point in the season. On Monday, we ran DePodesta’s comments related to prospects. Tonight, here are his comments on a range of other subjects. Some comments that have been lightly edited for clarity. […]
Riding the thrill of a walk-off victory, a series win, and a hot pitcher on the mound, the Colorado Rockies were primed to sweep the Chicago Cubs to close out the homestand. Unfortunately, the Cubs came out swinging to secure a 9-3 victory. Meanwhile, the Rockies’ offense was propelled by a pair of home runs […]
The rookies pulled through for the Colorado Rockies as they secured a series victory with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday. Pitching was great for both teams, and things didn’t really happen until the final two innings. TJ Rumfield had a go-ahead home run and Sterlin Thompson later delivered the walk-off single. Now, the Rockies look […]
Jordan Romano knows what it feels like to be one of the best relievers in baseball. He has been there. Two All-Star appearances, 105 saves with the Toronto Blue Jays, and a stretch from 2021 through 2023 where he was, on most nights, simply unhittable. A 6-foot-5 right-hander from Markham, Ontario, with a fastball that […]
The Athletic recently compared Injured List stints of all MLB organizations since 2024, and the Rockies placement shocked me: They have had a total of 10,906 days lost to the IL throughout the entire organization in that span. This seemingly huge number ranked them . . . seventh fewest in the league. That’s counting the […]
This was a game that was initially defined by excellent pitching, but the bats came alive for Colorado in the final two innings, resulting in a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Rockies have secured the series victory and improved to 26-42 on the season, thanks largely in part to a strong start […]

The Colorado Rockies’ series opener victory against the Chicago Cubs was a resounding success. They got pitching and hitting, and played an overall great game to shake off the mess of the Milwaukee Brewers series. Granted, the Cubs are not in the best of places at the moment, but victories like that have hopefully set […]

What do you do with a former top-tier prospect when opportunities are limited but there is also realistic, untapped potential? That is the question Colorado Rockies President of Baseball Operations, Paul DePodesta, is likely trying to figure out with Adael Amador. Signed as one of the top international free agents in the 2019-20 circuit for […]
Few things are more satisfying for the Colorado Rockies than trouncing the Chicago Cubs, and tonight, they got to bask in the glow of the Cubs flying the L as the Rockies hit their way to a 7-3 win. Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) gave the Rockies five good innings with the bullpen sealing the deal […]

After being swept at Coors Field by the Milwaukee Brewers, the Colorado Rockies (24-42) will look to get back in the win column as they welcome the Chicago Cubs (34-32) for a three-game stand. But first — in case you were offline this afternoon — the Rockies promoted Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) today, and […]
Earlier this afternoon, the Colorado Rockies announced they had selected the contract of top prospect Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP). After the announcement, Carrigg spoke with media to describe the experience. First, if you haven’t seen the video of Carrigg getting the news, here it is: “[Pedro Lopez] kind of dragged it out a little […]
On Tuesday afternoon prior to starting their series against the Chicago Cubs at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies announced a series of roster moves. The most prominent of these moves has potentially seismic organizational implications. The Rockies have selected the contract of top outfield and shortstop prospect Cole Carrigg (no. 4 PuRP), adding him to […]
Wilder Dalis (No. 24 PuRP) was signed by the Colorado Rockies in May 2023, well after the big signing period that usually happens in January, and has been an under-the-radar prospect since. Baseball America described him as a “late bloomer” who “turned in an inauspicious pro debut,” but Dalis turned things on in 2025 when […]
After a brief hiatus, our series about the Rockies Cultural Education & Development program returns (you can read the other installments here, here and here)! This time, I interviewed Steven Baumann, who teaches at the Arizona Complex League. I also observed his postgame class on Saturday, June 6th, where the players were working on post-game […]
