Happy Home Opener, everyone! The Rockies had a lot of turnover this offseason and we needed to get to know the new coaching staff. As it turns out, Purple Row also had some turnover with Mac Wilcox headed off to do other projects, but we’re also pleased to welcome Cory Cohen, Zeke Perez Jr., and […]

The Colorado Rockies have their first day off of the 2026 regular season following their surprise series victory over the defending American League champion Toronto Blue Jays. It took the Rockies until June to secure their first series victory in 2025. Does this portend the Rockies are indeed an improved unit? With the Rockies traveling […]
Everyone in the Rockies 2026 Opening Day starting rotation has had a chance to take the mound at least once. Kyle Freeland has had a second start but for comparison sake, let’s look at everyone’s first time taking the ball this season.

Finishing out a road trip in which they are 1-4, the Colorado Rockies look to go out on a high note with a series win before kicking off their home opener on Friday. Unfortunately for them, they face a tough customer for the Toronto Blue Jays (4-1), as it will be a battle of the […]
They’ve talked about it for years now. The Colorado Rockies would enter spring training with the prerogative of stealing more bases in the regular season, especially after the implementation of bigger bases in 2023. Players would run free during Cactus League action, particularly the speedsters, in the hopes that it would carry over into the […]

Last night, with the series opener, the Colorado Rockies soundly defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a 14-5 onslaught. In Game 2, the Rockies hit some bad luck and (again) couldn’t seem to get the offense working (again). Add to that a seventh inning that put the Rockies on the back foot. They ended up […]
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies (1-3) managed to absolutely bludgeon the American League Champion Toronto Blue Jays (3-1) in a 14-5 win that saw them facing a position player pitching before the evening had ended. Tonight, they will look to take the series from the Blue Jays. Something to watch: Colorado has not had […]
One of the spring training positional battles that Colorado Rockies fans watched took place at first base. Would recent trade T.J. Rumfield get the nod or Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon (No. 1 PuRP)? In the end, president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta went with Rumfield, sending Condon to Triple-A Albuquerque to continue his preparation. […]

The Colorado Rockies finished 27th, ahead of the Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels, and Minnesota Twins.

What a wild four games for the Colorado Rockies. They are swept by the Miami Marlins in the first three games, losing each game by only one run.

[…]
Friends, you’ve been so engaged that we had to put together an overflow thread! We’ll start doing that for game threads that reach 300+ comments (Sunday’s got a little unwieldy!). The Rockies just put up a seven-spot on the reigning AL champion Blue Jays after getting in around 2:30am. Also, it was the largest road […]

The Colorado Rockies completed their first series of the 2026 campaign, and ultimately went 0-3 against the Miami Marlins and were outscored 10-7. Starting the season with a sweep is never good, especially starting against a team on a similar tier before heading into a gauntlet for the next six weeks. It’s also not good […]
We first asked this back on February 20, 2026. Now that we’ve seen a weekend series with MLB’s new ABS challenge system, what do you think? So far, the Rockies have not been especially good at using the ABS system, but hopefully, like a lot of things, that will improve with practice. Does it work? […]
