Colorado avoided another sweep in the strangest of ways: striking out 16 times (including an NL-record 35 times in less than 24 hours) and scoring 10 runs after getting no-hit into the sixth inning. Who is this Grant Holmes fella? Is it possible the Rockies have a winning record at Truist Park?

Austin Gomber made his season debut on Father’s Day and was excellent, carrying a no-hitter for the second-longest start in his career. With five pitchers being included in Sunday’s transactions, was there bad news for Kyle Freeland, Ryan Feltner, Carson Palmquist and Zach Agnos?

Plus, the Giants get a superstar in Rafael Devers from the Red Sox, Ronald Acuña Jr. adds to his flawed Hall of Fame résumé and Washington attempts to do something they’ve never done at Nationals Park before.

Some notable former Rockies - Troy Tulowitzki, Trevor Story, Nolan Arenado and DJ LeMahieu - had some interesting comments on the current state of Colorado. Who had the spiciest comment? And what was anyone off-base at all?

A pair of top prospects (Charlie Condon and Kyle Karros) make the shift to first base. How much could this expedite their path to the Majors? And what catching prospect could be in line for a place on the 40-man roster this winter?

Plus, news of Kris Bryant’s back, two Triple-A prospects who could debut in the second half and the longshot debut of Shohei Ohtani in Denver at the end of this month.

The Colorado Rockies were 0-49 when trailing after eight innings this season, but they managed to do the impossible against the San Francisco Giants when Orlando Arcia delivered the first walk-off win of 2025.

Everyone contributed mightily to avoid the 12th sweep. Who’s turned a corner? And who deserves more recognition for the season so far?

Plus, Austin Gomber scheduled for his 2025 debut, Juan Mejia emerging in the bullpen and a preview of the three-game series against Atlanta.

Over 100 players in Major League Baseball were surveyed in a poll by The Athletic covering a wide range of topics. Why aren’t players interested in coming to Denver? And is there another franchise that has an even worse reputation right now?

Ryan Ritter discusses his first weekend with the Colorado Rockies in an exclusive interview. Where’s the baseball from his first big league hit? And how is preparing for a series different than when he was in the minors?

Plus, Nick Martini finds a new home (and is raking), Sam Hilliard embraces his inner cockroach and Bob Melvin is still haunted by the 2007 NLCS.

Colorado was on the verge of snapping their three-game losing streak when Zach Agnos could get the final three outs against the Giants on Tuesday. Will we see Warren Schaeffer opt to go with a different closer? Is Jake Bird the next man up?

Ryan McMahon homers once again and continues to produce with no runners aboard. Might the Rockies be better off with him as the leadoff hitter going forward?

Plus, exclusive audio with Jake Bird, a major injury to the Giants starting lineup and Michael Toglia’s big night in Albuquerque.

Ryan Ritter’s family was in full force for his Major League debut. How many were in the building for his big day? Why did he throw away his first souvenir? And might he want to change his no. 8 next season?

Robo Umps are coming in 2026. Though MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is only at the proposal phase, why will it be a lock that we get ABS (automatic ball/strike system) next season?

Plus, Daniel Bard signs a minor league deal to make another comeback, Rockies fans rip on Juan Soto, Warren Schaeffer provides update on Michael Toglia and Patrick previews the pitching matchups for three-game series with the San Francisco Giants.

After winning three games in Miami, Colorado got back to its old ways during a New York Mets sweep in Denver. Francisco Lindor had an MVP-esque performance on Friday that further elevated his status as the greatest shortstop of his generation. What was his encore against Germán Márquez on Saturday? And did Tyler Freeman manage to out-hit Lindor?

Tyler Freeman continued to impress, extending his hitting streak to eight games. What does manager Warren Schaeffer think of the 26-year-old’s game? Could we see him atop the lineup this next week?

Plus, Ryan Ritter makes Rockies history in his debut, Juan Soto experiences a first and Jake Bird increases his trade value once again.

Voting for the 2025 All-Star Game is open and Colorado is sure to have only one representative. Hunter Goodman and Jake Bird have equally strong cases, but which one might the Rockies prefer? (The reason may surprise you.) Other than Will Smith of the Dodgers, is there anyone in Goodman's way at catcher?

Marlins had another fire sale following the hiring of PoBO Peter Bendix from Tampa Bay. How's the rebuild going after Year 1? And is it truly important to win every trade?

Plus, previewing the Mets series, highlighting the star in Cherry Creek High School's 10th state title and reminding everyone of two Brendan Rodgers deals that could have sent him to Miami.
