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.

The Savannah Bananas continue to take over the world one city at a time. In Denver at Coors Field, they welcomed back a pair of Colorado Rockies legends in Ubaldo Jiménez and Vinny Castilla. In this exclusive audio, Castilla discusses his experience playing in front of 50,000 fans once again. Did he struggle to go to sleep that night?

Brenton Doyle can be described as a five-tool player that is gifted in so many facets of the game. However, that wasn't exactly the case when he was a kid. What are Doyle's recollections of playing in Little League? And why are the Rockies playing so much looser than the early months of the season?

Plus, a Nolan Jones jersey makes Patrick sad, Trevor Story mulls over opting out of his Red Sox deal and one of the greatest days to buy a ticket at Coors Field.

2021 All-Star Game aside, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers have never pitched or started a game at Coors Field in Denver. Only three times has he struck out eight or more AND homered in the same contest. With how well he’s been pitching, will Wednesday night be no. 4 for the Team Japan superstar?

Warming Bernabel’s walk-off hit against the Dodgers on Monday has further catapulted him into the national baseball consciousness. Could there really be four more prospects that Colorado could promote to make their big league debut before the 2025 season ends?

Plus, Austin Gomber’s 0-7 record and 7.49 ERA, Ezequiel Tovar’s eight hits and two home runs against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Kyle Karros mashed homer no. 1 against his father Eric’s old team.

Germán Márquez is set to make his first of two rehab starts in Albuquerque today before returning to the Rockies. Will he also return to the club this offseason once he reaches free agency? Could another free agent with ties to Denver - Jon Gray - also be a strong contender to rejoin Colorado’s rotation?

Since Kyle Karros is the third baseman for the final 20% of the season, does that mean he'll be the Opening Day starter at the hot corner in 2026? And does another Michael Toglia explosion of offense have you feeling differently about his future with the club? Is it in the best interest of both parties for him to get traded this offseason?

Plus, the Senior League baseball season that you may have forgotten, the spectacle that is the Los Angeles Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani and the potential for prospect Brody Brecht sticking as a starting pitcher.

You will never see a wilder final out to a ballgame than the catch made by the Colorado Rockies Juan Mejia for the final out of his first big league save. What did he say about the play? And where is that very special baseball headed?

Antonio Senzatela’s first start off the injured list was outstanding. Then the bullpen coughed up his lead, only to erase the three-run deficit late in the same fashion as the previous night. What’s been the secret to Colorado’s success when trailing by large margins? Has any team in 2025 had more comeback wins like this in MLB?

Plus, Ezequiel Tovar offers up his thoughts on the Little League World Series, the best swag for the Rockies during Players Weekend and those Los Angeles Dodgers prepare for four games in Denver.

Isaac Collins was drafted by Colorado in 2019 out of Creighton University in the ninth round. After performing well in two full seasons in the minors with Low-A Fresno, High-A Spokane and Double-A Hartford, he was left unprotected in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft. Enter the Milwaukee Brewers. How badly would the Rockies like for a do over on this? And where would he play on this roster?

Hunter Goodman homered once again and is now within three homers of tying Wilin Rosario's franchise mark for most by a catcher. When was the last time an All-Star continue to play like an All-Star in the second half for Colorado?

Plus, Rockies relievers snap back to find a groove, a Kyle Karros stat that's equally eyebrow raising for good and bad reasons, and more notes from the Savannah Bananas wild weekend.
