Of, by, and for Rockies fans. Every day.
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? […]
The Colorado Rockies were unable to avoid the sweep in their Opening Weekend series against the Miami Marlins. The Fish walked off the Rockies on a two-run home run, cementing an 0-3 record to kick off the 2026 campaign with three straight one-run losses. Unable to capitalize The Rockies struck first, when Jordan Beck hit […]
While practicing patience is still encouraged, the Colorado Rockies’ 2026 season is off to a familiar start. The Rockies are in Miami looking to avoid being swept by the Marlins on Opening Weekend after losing by just one run in both of their first two games. Yesterday afternoon had some fireworks as rookie TJ Rumfield […]
The Rockies played their last two spring training games and their first two regular season games this week. So far in the regular season, they’re 0-2 but there have been some moments of brightness. TJ Rumfield made his MLB debut, knocked his first MLB hit and launched his first MLB home run in his first […]
In case you missed it, the Denver Summit — the Mile High City’s new NWSL team — made quite a debut today: The game ended on a 0-0 draw, but what a great day for Denver sports. And that raises an interesting question: Is Denver the best sports town in the United States? It’s home […]
The Rockies once again fell to the Marlins in a one-run game. This one was marred by a lot of soft contact and weird breaks on both sides of the ball. But there were also some offensive highlights from TJ Rumfield and Ezequiel Tovar, who both his home runs early. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough and […]
After a disappointing 2-1 loss on Opening Day, the Colorado Rockies will look to even the series against the Miami Marlins. However, one bright note was first baseman TJ Rumfield. Rumfield made his MLB Debut last night, and is the only member of the Opening Day roster with true rookie status. He also became the […]
Let’s be honest right up front: The Rockies are not chasing history in 2026. (They might be running from it.) They’re not chasing Todd Helton and Larry Walker’s 49 home runs. They’re not chasing Andrés Galarraga’s 150 RBIs. They’re not sniffing Walker’s .379. This isn’t that kind of team. But that doesn’t mean this season won’t be worth watching. Because while this roster won’t threaten the franchise record books over 162 games, […]
We’re only one game in — so small sample size and all that — and you can read James Riggenbach’s game recap here of the Colorado Rockies 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins. but what were your biggest takeaways from the game? Me, I was encouraged by the Rockies staying in the game after going […]
The Colorado Rockies opened the 2026 season in Miami with a lineup that looked nothing like the one that started 2025 — between debuts and new additions, this felt less like a continuation and more like a reset. Kyle Karros made his first Opening Day start, following in the footsteps of his father Eric, who made nine in his career. […]
It has been a busy six months since the 2025 season ended at Coors Field with a loss to the Giants, capping off the most torturous season in franchise history. The Rockies finished 2025 on a six-game losing streak enroute to 119 total losses on the season — a number that still doesn’t quite feel real. A […]
Finally, Opening Day is here and the climb begins for the Colorado Rockies. For fans, it’s a chance to see the change in action from an offseason marked with front office and coaching changes.

Much of the Colorado Rockies 2026 roster came into focus over the weekend in terms of position players and the starting rotation. This morning, they began crafting the bullpen into its final form.

Warren Schaeffer had a whirlwind 2025 season. He began as the Rockies’ third base coach but after 40 games, manager Bud Black was fired and Schaeffer was given the reins. With 122 games remaining in the season, he not only had to prove himself as someone who was capable of being a big league manager, […]
