Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
Zac Veen (No. 9 PuRP) was the player I hoped would be my favorite Rockie by now. Hope can be an unfair thing to put on a prospect. Prospects are projections, not guarantees. Their timelines are rarely clean, and prospects should not become stand-ins for what we wish our baseball team was. But fans do […]
The margin against the Brewers was thin Friday night, and the final innings showed why. The Rockies had a 3-1 lead, had allowed one hit through eight innings and were three outs away from taking the opener against the first-place Brewers. They still lost. Colorado fell 9-7 in 10 innings Friday night at Coors Field, […]

Early today, Colorado Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer provided an update on player injuries. In addition, the Rockies announced prior to the start of the game that Tanner Gordon had been placed on the 15-day IL with a right hip impingement. Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re commenting. Thanks!
The Colorado Rockies (24-39) are back at Coors Field tonight to open a weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers (37-23), coming off a Thursday off-day, just like they did last week. That off-day started one of the stranger six-game stretches a team can have. The Rockies played three at home against the reeling San Francisco […]
With 99 games remaining this season, a surprising trend has emerged for the Colorado Rockies: Two of the top hitters in 2026 weren’t on the team last season. Considering one had only played 44 MLB games entering 2026 and the other made his MLB debut on Opening Day, Troy Johnston and TJ Rumfield have proven […]
On Wednesday morning, Colorado Rockies fans were greeted with good news: Rookie first baseman TJ Rumfield had been named Major League Baseball’s National League Rookie of the Month for May. The 26-year-old Rumfield—obtained this offseason from the New York Yankees in exchange for right-handed pitcher Angel Chivilli—led National League rookies in virtually every offensive category […]
Long-time Denver Post sports reporter Patrick Saunders announced today on X that he would be leaving the newspaper on June 24, 2026. Saunders has worked for the post since October 1998 when he began writing about the Denver Broncos. In 2005, he moved to covering the Colorado Rockies, only missing two years when he served […]
Kyle McCann did not choose catching. Catching chose him, the way it tends to do in youth baseball, suddenly, out of necessity, because someone else didn’t show up. He was 12 years old, on a travel team somewhere in Georgia, and the regular catcher was sick. When the coach and the players who would step […]
The current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between MLB and the Major League Player’s Association (MLBPA) that governs the business of the league as a whole is set to expire at the conclusion of the 2026 season. As always, this means that both sides have started angling to increase their slice of the pie that is […]
After a pair of wild games that went in their favor, the Colorado Rockies aimed to secure a series sweep against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, another lackluster outing from their starting pitcher and an offense that struggled to get going left them trailing early and failing to catch up as they […]
The Colorado Rockies have certainly enjoyed the series against the Los Angeles Angels. After a wacky win to kick off the series on Monday, the boys in purple enjoyed a convincing win on Tuesday to win the series. Now, they look to complete the sweep on the road before heading home for the weekend. Michael […]
The Colorado Rockies’ rookie first baseman, TJ Rumfield, was honored on Wednesday morning as Major League Baseball named him the National League Rookie of the Month for May. He’s the eighth Colorado player to win the award since its inception in 2001, and the first since Nolan Jones in September 2023. Rumfield, 26, slashed .310/.400/.483 […]
The world of advanced metrics continues to grow in the quest to analyze and understand the smallest idiosyncrasies that make baseball players who they are. In 2025, Major League Baseball added some interesting new Statcast metrics about swing paths and attack angles that built on previous metrics, like swing length and bat speed. Recently, MLB […]
I am weird, you are weird. Everyone in the world is weird. One day two people come together in mutual weirdness and fall in love — Dr. Seuss When two very bad baseball teams — say the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Angels — play a series, the stage is set for weirdness. That […]
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies (23-38) fumbled their way to an ungraceful 9-8 win over the Los Angeles Angels (23-38). As manager Warren Schaeffer put it, “That was not a normal game,” adding,“ but someone’s got to win that game.” Last night’s win marked the first time since July 16, 2016, at Atlanta that […]
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies (23-38) fumbled their way to an ungraceful 9-8 win over the Los Angeles Angels (also 23-38). As manager Warren Schaeffer put it, “That was not a normal game,” adding,“ but someone’s got to win that game.” Last night’s win marked the first time since July 16, 2016, at Atlanta […]
As a student-athlete at Massillon Washington High School in Madison, Ohio, Aidan Longwell had choices. In addition to being an outstanding baseball player, he was also a standout quarterback and received offers to continue his football career at a D-1 school. For him, though, the way forward was clear. “It’s always been baseball since as […]
When the Colorado Rockies traded with the Arizona Diamondbacks for outfielder Jack McCarthy back in January, their logic was fairly clear. First, he brought a left-handed bat to platoon with righty CF Brenton Doyle; second, he has outfield versatility that would allow him to play all three positions and give Doyle a day off; and […]
The stats were bonkers in this one. The Rockies drew 10 walks and added two more free passes through hit by pitches, which should lead to numerous runs. On defense, the Rockies committed four fielding errors, which should result in a loss. When it comes to pitching, Kyle Freeland gave up a grand slam to […]
In a battle of the worsts of the Wests, the Los Angeles Angels will host the Colorado Rockies in the first showdown of a three-game series tonight. The Angels (23-37) are currently in last place in the AL West, eight games back of the AL West-leading Mariners. The Rockies (22-38) are in the NL West […]
The Colorado Rockies announced today that they have made three moves that affect their pitching staff: TJ Shook, 28, was selected by the Rockies in the Minor League Phase of the 2025 Rule 5 Draft from the New York Mets and has spent the 2026 season in Triple-A Albuquerque. In 22 appearances, the right-hander has […]
Two weeks ago, I made the case for Mickey Moniak to be an All-Star in 2026. The Rockies will likely only get one representative this year — especially with their May regression — but if Moniak isn’t chosen, there might be another candidate: Antonio Senzatela. Antonio Senzatela’s 2026 renaissance has been a thing of beauty […]
May is in its final hours, and the Colorado Rockies ended on a high note after scuffling hard for most of the month. After going 14-18 to start the season, they went 8-20 in May, but did finish by winning the series against the San Francisco Giants. Unfortunately, the series (and month) ended with a […]
“I had a root canal on Thursday and I’m not sure which was worse,” said Rockies commentator Jeff Huson about today’s baseball game between the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants. The Rockies entered today’s game with a series win already wrapped up and a chance to sweep a scuffling division rival. Instead, they lost […]
