Today marks the 21st anniversary of the premier everyone’s favorite Muppet film: The Muppet’s Wizard of Oz. That’s absolutely a date everyone knows and not a strained justification for talking about the Muppets on a random Wednesday in May. That being said, the Muppets are canonically familiar with the game of baseball but have never […]

For the last seven years, Colorado Rockies baseball has been many things, but “boring” rarely made the list. Instead, we were treated to a chaotic roller coaster. They didn’t just lose games: They lost them in spectacular, historic fashion. They had public front-office feuds, bullpen implosions that defied the laws of physics, and forced us […]

When the Colorado Rockies welcomed the Texas Rangers to Coors Field for Game 2, their hope was to pick up where they left off after getting a Monday night win. After all, it was “Bark in the Park,” so the vibes (and the dogs!) were good. However, by the time the game ended, there was […]
Postgame update: After the game, Warren Schaeffer provided an update. “Left side contusion on that diving play out there,” Schaeffer said. “We’ll know more tomorrow, but that was painful.” Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle left today’s game against the Texas Rangers after making a spectacular diving attempt on a ball in the first inning, […]
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies managed to come out with a win, despite some white-knuckle moments in the eight inning. Tonight, they will look to take the series from the Texas Rangers. Starting for the Rangers is Tyler Alexander. The lefty has a 2.14 ERA in 23.0 IP. He’s struck out 16, walked six, […]
Hartford Yard Goats outfielder Benny Montgomery may be just 23-years-old, but he’s already entering his sixth season in the Rockies system. Selected eighth overall in the 2021 draft out of Red Land High School in Pennsylvania, the 6’5” Montgomery hit the ground running. He made a strong first impression by hitting .340/.404/.383 in 14 games […]
Back during spring training (which seems like a lifetime ago, frankly), Purple Row caught up with the Colorado Rockies new hitting coach Brett Pill. (Read that interview here.) In mid-February, Pill was focused on clear communication and individualized instruction for players. Consider where the Rockies are this year compared to 2025 with the (significant) caveats […]
It wasn’t a sure thing this game would be played to conclusion as the rain fell hard during Bark at the Park night. However, the Colorado Rockies and the Texas Rangers played a full nine innings of soggy baseball with plenty of slips, slides, and runs scored. “I love it,” said TJ Rumfield of the […]
It’s a chilly and damp night in Denver, Colorado—which also happens to be the first Bark at the Park night—as the Texas Rangers arrive for a visit to kick off a three game series. The Rangers just lost two of their last three in Houston and just lost franchise star Corey Seager to the injured […]
The Colorado Rockies have, to put it lightly, struggled over the past few years. However, one bright spot every year is the selection of a team’s All-Star representative(s). The Rockies have only had one representative each year since 2021: Looking ahead to this year, one player is making a case for himself to represent the […]
The 2026 Rockies appear poised to win more games than they did the past couple seasons, but realistically, they are only fighting to avoid 100 losses. That’s improvement, but the season is clearly a transitional one attempting to set the stage for a more exciting future. Given that, let’s imagine a world where we could […]
This afternoon’s rubber match against the Arizona Diamondbacks started after a rain delay that lasted almost two hours. By the time first pitch finally came around one could hardly tell it had been pouring not too long ago. However, spirits were certainly damp as the Colorado Rockies went down early and failed to mount a […]
After winning a tight contest on Saturday Afternoon, the Colorado Rockies find themselves with an opportunity. They can win the series against their fellow National League West and 1990s expansion team Arizona Diamondbacks in their first matchup of the 2026 season. Sunday’s game also includes a battle of the World Baseball Classic pitchers named Michael. […]
The Colorado Rockies vs Arizona Diamondbacks game originally scheduled to begin at 1:10 PM MDT has been delayed due to rain in the Denver Metro area. All weather delay updates will be posted here. If/when the game resumes, the game thread will be pushed back to the front on our home page. Update [1:05 PM […]
Before Sunday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding reported that the Rockies were optioning Zach Agnos to Triple-A and, in his place, recalling 27 year old right handed reliever Blas Castaño. Agnos had posted a 5.59 ERA over 29 innings for the big league club so far this season. Under the hood, this lofty […]
On Saturday, pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano 菅野 智之 made his ninth start with the Colorado Rockies and his fifth start at Coors Field. Sugano had a good day for the Rockies, pitching five innings and allowing two runs (both earned) on seven hits, and setting them up for a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, […]
Believe it or not, currently the Colorado Rockies bullpen is tied for eighth place with its 1.6 accumulated fWAR. (They are tied with the Miami Marlins.) Their 4.35 ERA comes in 20th, and their BB/9 of 3.38 comes in ninth. Probably, a lot of that is due to Chase Dollander’s working with an opener, so […]
The Colorado Rockies notched a close win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in a bit of an odd game where the final score doesn’t quite reflect how many runners got on in a game where both teams combined for 21 hits. Pitchers and the defense were ultimately able to work out of trouble. Tomoyuki Sugano 菅野 […]
There’s an alternate universe in which the Colorado Rockies had a very different Friday evening. The first inning cost the Rockies the game last night. They almost escaped a tumultuous start, but instead the Arizona Diamondbacks successfully challenged the potential third out, loaded the bases, and piled six runs on Kyle Freeland to take the […]
Hunter Goodman has been good. Again. That is the place to start. Goodman hit 31 home runs last season, became an All-Star, and won a Silver Slugger. And he has been productive in 2026, hitting .247/.310/.513 with an .823 OPS and 11 home runs through May 15th. The interesting part is not that Goodman is […]

This was not the start to the homestand the Rockies were hoping for. Colorado fell to Arizona 9-1 at Coors Field on Friday, dropping to 17-28 while the Diamondbacks moved to 21-22. The Rockies got bit early and spent the rest of the night trying to catch up, as Arizona turned an overturned call in […]
