Colorado couldn’t avoid the sweep with Paul Skenes on the mound in his 50th start of his impressive early career. How lackluster was the offense in Pittsburgh this weekend? And which young arm left early following scary line drive back up the box?

Colorado did not qualify for the Little League World Series once again. Nevada, also from the Mountain Region, did and made it all the way to the Championship Game. Why hasn’t Colorado ever been to Williamsport before? Would the state fair better overall with a focus on Little League?

Plus, McCade Brown shows some poise during his MLB debut, Bubba Chandler does something against the Rockies for the first time in baseball history and Ryan Ritter’s quiet hitting streak that continues to grow longer and longer.

MLB is ready to branch out to 32 teams in the next five years before Commissioner Rob Manfred retires. Whether it's Portland or Salt Lake City - or both - the divisions will change drastically and the Colorado Rockies will no longer have to deal with the likes of the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres. What teams will the Rockies be paired with? And will we get more or less games each season because of expansion?

Austin Gomber has been unconditionally waived by Colorado. The final player from the Nolan Arenado trade is gone. What will Gomber's legacy be in Denver? Do you the Rockies still have to pay the St. Louis Cardinals?

Plus, a top pitching prospect debuts against the Rox, an unknown prospect will debut for Colorado in Pittsburgh this weekend and the return of Lucas Gilbreath.

They came for Shohei Ohtani, but stayed for Tanner Gordon. The 27-year-old rookie outdueled the three-time MVP and no. 1 player in all of MLB on Wednesday. How did the Rockies add injury to insult for the Dodgers’ ace? And how did Gordon feel about his accomplishment?

If you didn’t want to pay $44K for Ohtani’s 300th home run ball, would you have paid to own a baseball he threw during his start at Coors Field had you known about it? And did you hear about Austin Gomber and his possible future with the franchise?

Plus, Chase Dollander struggles against another future Hall of Famer, Kyle Karros quickly becomes the best quote in Colorado’s clubhouse and another date with Paul Skenes.
