This week, Skyler and Evan discuss the position battles for 2025 that seem to have already started. Top catching prospect Drew Romo hasn't seen the field in 11 days and appears to have been supplanted by Hunter Goodman. What's the reasoning, and can we expect Goodman to start at catcher next year? Meanwhile, when it comes to fourth outfielder, the Rockies need to make a decision between Sam Hilliard and Jake Cave because you can't keep both. Finally, this might be Charlie Blackmon's last week as a Colorado Rockie and maybe as a big league ball player.

This week, Skyler and Evan present a conundrum that finally needs to be talked about. The Colorado Rockies and being frequently outnumbered by a sea of visiting fans at Coors Field. What has this organization done to foster a fan culture that would bring a wave of purple to the ballpark? On the bright side, Antonio Senzatela is back, the young bullpen has been very impressive, and your High-A Spokane Indians are the Northwest League champions!

In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever, Skyler and Dustin are joined by Purple Row writer and co-host of Affected by Altitude for Rocky Mountain Rooftop, Evan Lang. Evan has been a fan of the Rockies his whole life and therefore has an affinity for plenty of Rockies, often obscure ones. However his fandom helps him remember some solid players that may be forgotten at times. They talk about the solid two seasons from Jeff Cirillo at the hot corner, the ultimate utility man that was Terry Shumpert, and recollect the short-lived tenure of the hit machine Juan Pierre.

This week, Evan and Skyler are joined by Dustin "Mr. T-Spanish" Timmins to discuss the Rockies' problem with strikeouts. The Colorado Rockies are a league leader in strikeouts, and not in a good way as they are on pace to set a franchise high. Meanwhile, Kris Bryant is running out of time to return in the 2024 season... should he return at all? Should the Rockies just tear off the bandaid and let the $182 million dollar man walk away with the money and what's left of his health? Speaking of Rockies with back issues, what's to be done with Nolan Jones after a difficult 2024? Finally, we wrap things up with a discussion on Zac Veen, who is tantalizingly close to his big league debut.

In this new Rooftop Mingle, Skyler and Evan are joined by former 1st round pick Ryan Rolison of the the Albuquerque Isotopes. They talk about his journey back from multiple injuries over the past two years. Once considered the top prospect in the Rockies organization, Rolison seemed to be on the fast track to the big leagues because injuries robbed him of two years in the minors. Now healthy, Rolison has been working out the bullpen in Triple-A as he builds up again and hopefully will finally be able to come full circle and reach the big leagues with the Rockies.

This week, Evan and Skyler discuss the youth movement of the Colorado Rockies as more and more we've been seeing the young guns-from pitchers to position players-get their names penciled into the lineup. Much of the starting nine is home-grown and frequently under the age of 26 as the Rockies focus on rebuilding in the dog days of summer. As part of that rebuild, the future of manager Bud Black must be discussed. The Rockies need a fresh vibe and voice in their clubhouse and it's time for Black and the Rockies to part ways after 2024. We follow that up with a special guest, as Spokane Indians third baseman and Rockies top prospect Kyle Karros joins us for a Rooftop Mingle!

There have been a lot of notable players to suit up for the Colorado Rockies. In the past we've talked about players like Michael Cuddyer, Justin Morneau, and Jason Giambi but there are have a been several others that were some definite legends that made a brief stop in Colorado. Skyler and Dustin look back on the Mr. 3000-esque appearance of Dale Murphy, the acquisition of Bret Saberhagen, the unfortunate stint of Roy Oswalt, the sneaky good performance of Kevin Millwood, and round things off with perhaps the most disliked player in Rockies history, Jose Reyes.

This week Evan and Skyler discuss the ongoing shuffling of the Colorado Rockies starting rotation as injuries, demotions, promotions, and alien abductions have caused the team to make some changes in the dog days of summer. Meanwhile, what's going on with Ryan McMahon? His glove is as sure as ever but his bat has cratered since returning from the All-Star Break. At the same time, Brenton Doyle might be the future of this organization at center field, so when do you pay him, and for how much? We polish things off with a fun new game of "Fire, Promote, Keep" and set our sights on the Rockies front office!

In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever Skyler and Dustin look back on 3 successful closers for the Rockies. They look back on the brief, yet stellar, relief record of José Jiménez, the human rain delay Rafael Betancourt and his unherald success as a backend reliever, and check back on the dominance of Huston Street who really cemented himself as one of the best closers in baseball history.

Skyler and Evan are joined this week by Patrick Lyons to discuss the 2024 trade deadline... More specifically the Colorado Rockies and their inaction during said deadline. The Rockies made no moves on the day of the actual deadline and obtained just three prospects in exchange for Nick Mears and Jalen Beeks. Meanwhile the front office feeds us the same lines we usually hear about how contention is just around the corner despite not actually doing anything to help the Rockies fully rebuild and find a new contention window. Color us skeptical, but we just don't believe this is a team that will be competitive in 2025 after what will likely be back-to-back 100+ loss seasons. We wrap things up on a more positive note with Brenton Doyle running away with July Player of the Month and naming our July Pitcher of the Month.

This week Evan and Skyler discuss the rapidly approaching trade deadline after the Colorado Rockies made their first move in dealing right-handed pitcher Nick Mears to the Milwaukee Brewers. Rockies fans also dealt with a little scare when Brenton Doyle was removed from Sunday's game early, but no other trades have been made at time of recording. The Rockies also had a fun series with the Boston Red Sox that led to Cal Quantrill becoming the newest Rockies folk hero while Red Sox players sought to deliver him comeuppance. The wind was promptly taken out of the Rockies' sails when they traveled to San Francisco and were promptly swept in an ugly series where they struck out 53 times.
In this episode, Evan and Skyler are also joined by the delightful and talented Rockies top catching prospect Drew Romo (no. 7 PuRP) for an interview! We thank him so much for joining us!
