The Colorado Rockies dropped yet another rubber match—putting their record in such contests at 3-13 this season—in their series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Colorado Rockies vs St. Louis Cardinals game discussion: Michael Lorenzen vs Michael McGreevy
The Colorado Rockies have a chance to end their first series of this road trip on a high note.

The beauty of a Kyle Karros at-bat
There is a little game inside almost every Kyle Karros plate appearance. The pitcher is trying to get Karros to commit to something Karros does not want. Karros is trying to keep enough control of the count so that he can eventually force the pitcher into something he does want. Sometimes that means taking a […]

The Colorado Rockies kicked off a nine-game road trip tonight with the first of a three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Purple Row After Dark: The Rockies in relation to Spider-Man
Longtime readers of Purple Row may recall a silly little article I did back in 2022 while we waited for the MLB lockout to end. I’m very much an enjoyer of superhero movies, and I was eagerly waiting for the release of The Batman at the time. I also love Rockies baseball, so I married […]

The Rockies may be attempting to “build their plane while flying it”
Since the Colorado Rockies new front office took the reins of the organization, I have assumed they have been operating with an eye towards building a contention window starting in 2029 at the absolute earliest. However, their actions at the trade deadline earlier this week seem incongruous with that assumption. It wasn’t until reading the […]

After a heartbreaking extra-inning loss on Tuesday, the Colorado Rockies are looking to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays to close out their homestand. Pitching has had a tough time containing the Rays’ offense, but perhaps their veteran right-hander today can put a stop to the skid. Tomoyuki Sugano (11-4, […]

This was Tampa Bay Rays starter Freddy Peralta’s third time to face the Rockies this season following two starts with his previous team, the New York Mets. He came into the game with a 3-0 record at Coors in addition to a 1.23 ERA. But it didn’t seem like it would matter against a persistent […]
