Colorado Rockies vs. Athletics game discussion: Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) vs Jeffrey Springs
After two night games where the ball flew far in the Nevada heat, the Colorado Rockies and the Athletics will play their third and final game of the series in the afternoon under the searing desert sun. Temperatures are expected to be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit at first pitch at Las Vegas Ballpark roughly 20 […]
This Week in Purple: One day later, Sean Sullivan reflects on his MLB debut
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Left-handed pitcher Sean Sullivan (No. 8 PuRP) made his MLB debut on Friday against the Athletics, and it was memorable for a couple of reasons. First, the Rockies and A’s are playing in Las Vegas right now in the home of the Triple-A Aviators. Sullivan last pitched here on May 19, […]
The Rockies come out on the wrong side of a back-and-forth game, fall to the Athletics 7-5
There were plenty of baserunners to go around for both sides in Las Vegas on Saturday night, with the Colorado Rockies and Athletics combining for 19 hits. While the Rockies had their chances, another rough outing from Kyle Freeland didn’t help the cause, and they were never able to stay ahead of the A’s. The […]

Colorado Rockies vs. Athletics game discussion: Kyle Freeland vs. Joey Estes
Following last night’s loss to the Athletics, the Colorado Rockies enter a matchup built around uncertainty, as Kyle Freeland tries to find his footing against Joey Estes, who will make his 2026 debut after being recalled by the A’s from the minors. Jeffrey Springs was projected to start, but will now be pushed to Sunday […]
Rockies select contract of Eiberson Castellano, make additional roster moves
Today, the Colorado Rockies announced a series of roster moves, most notably, the promotion of RHP Eiberson Castellano from Triple-A Albuquerque. The 25 year old will be making his Major League debut with his first appearance, bringing to eight the total number of Rockies MLB debuts this season. There was some hint of this move […]
When One Rockies Season Is Enough to Remember
More than 700 players have appeared in a game for the Rockies. Most do not last long. The average Rockies tenure is much closer to two years than five, which makes the long-timers easy to remember and the short stays easy to lose. This is not about franchise pillars, or random cameos, but Rockies who packed most of […]
Sullivan impresses and Carrigg homers, but Rockies fall 6-4 to Athletics
There was no late-night luck in Vegas for the Rockies. Sean Sullivan gave Colorado an encouraging first look in his major league debut, and Cole Carrigg delivered the swing that briefly looked like it might define the night. But the lead did not hold. The Athletics answered Carrigg’s three-run homer with four unanswered runs, including […]

Colorado Rockies vs. Athletics game thread: Sean Sullivan vs. Gage Jump
The Colorado Rockies are opening a six-game road trip tonight with three games against the Athletics in Las Vegas, where the A’s are playing a rare ‘home’ series away from their temporary home in Sacramento. After this series, the Rockies head to Wrigley Field for three against the Chicago Cubs. The nomadic Athletics enter at […]
Rockies to promote Sean Sullivan for Major League debut (Updated)
The Colorado Rockies are reportedly promoting left-handed pitcher Sean Sullivan (No. 8 PuRP) to start Friday night’s game against the Athletics. The Gazette’s Kevin Henry was among the first to report on the news. The Rockies have yet to officially announce the move. Sullivan was the Rockies’ second-round pick in the 2023 draft after pitching […]
Rockies Reacts Results: Bring on the Veen Machine
On the heels of Cole Carrigg’s (No. 4 PuRP) call up earlier this week and Sterlin Thompson’s (No. 13 PuRP) a few weeks back, we asked you who you thought would be the next prospect to be called up. It wasn’t much of a surprise, but the majority of folks believe Zac Veen (No. 9 […]
Are the Rockies breaking out of their offensive drought at home?
There’s no doubt that the Colorado Rockies are improved from 2025. They’ve got a better record than they had at this point in the season last year, and in some areas, they’ve made clear improvement. However, the Rockies still rank dead last in runs allowed at 397, which has the basement rankings sealed at 32 […]
Paul DePodesta discusses where the Rockies are now (Part II)
As a reminder, last weekend, Colorado Rockies president of baseball operations talked with media about where the Colorado Rockies are at this point in the season. On Monday, we ran DePodesta’s comments related to prospects. Tonight, here are his comments on a range of other subjects. Some comments that have been lightly edited for clarity. […]
Brett Sullivan homers twice in Rockies 9-3 loss to the Cubs
Riding the thrill of a walk-off victory, a series win, and a hot pitcher on the mound, the Colorado Rockies were primed to sweep the Chicago Cubs to close out the homestand. Unfortunately, the Cubs came out swinging to secure a 9-3 victory. Meanwhile, the Rockies’ offense was propelled by a pair of home runs […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Chicago Cubs game discussion: Edward Cabrera vs. Ryan Feltner
The rookies pulled through for the Colorado Rockies as they secured a series victory with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday. Pitching was great for both teams, and things didn’t really happen until the final two innings. TJ Rumfield had a go-ahead home run and Sterlin Thompson later delivered the walk-off single. Now, the Rockies look […]
Jordan Romano isn’t chasing the past. He’s building it back with the Rockies.
Jordan Romano knows what it feels like to be one of the best relievers in baseball. He has been there. Two All-Star appearances, 105 saves with the Toronto Blue Jays, and a stretch from 2021 through 2023 where he was, on most nights, simply unhittable. A 6-foot-5 right-hander from Markham, Ontario, with a fastball that […]
A curious spike in Rockies injuries
The Athletic recently compared Injured List stints of all MLB organizations since 2024, and the Rockies placement shocked me: They have had a total of 10,906 days lost to the IL throughout the entire organization in that span. This seemingly huge number ranked them . . . seventh fewest in the league. That’s counting the […]
Rockies late game rally secures 3-2 walk-off victory over Cubs
This was a game that was initially defined by excellent pitching, but the bats came alive for Colorado in the final two innings, resulting in a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Rockies have secured the series victory and improved to 26-42 on the season, thanks largely in part to a strong start […]

Colorado Rockies vs. Chicago Cubs game thread: Shota Imanaga vs. Michael Lorenzen
The Colorado Rockies’ series opener victory against the Chicago Cubs was a resounding success. They got pitching and hitting, and played an overall great game to shake off the mess of the Milwaukee Brewers series. Granted, the Cubs are not in the best of places at the moment, but victories like that have hopefully set […]

What do the Rockies do with Adael Amador?
What do you do with a former top-tier prospect when opportunities are limited but there is also realistic, untapped potential? That is the question Colorado Rockies President of Baseball Operations, Paul DePodesta, is likely trying to figure out with Adael Amador. Signed as one of the top international free agents in the 2019-20 circuit for […]
The Rockies fly the W, outhit the Cubs en route to a 7-3 victory
Few things are more satisfying for the Colorado Rockies than trouncing the Chicago Cubs, and tonight, they got to bask in the glow of the Cubs flying the L as the Rockies hit their way to a 7-3 win. Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) gave the Rockies five good innings with the bullpen sealing the deal […]
