Orion Kerkering may be remembered for all the wrong reasons in Philadelphia after ending the Phillies with a walk-off error. Colorado, despite only a few appearances in the playoffs, have a fair share of their own moments where the pressure was too much for the player. Which Rockies eventually redeemed himself by winning a World Series? And who could have been scapegoat had the Rockies lost the 2018 NL Wild Card Game at Wrigley Field?

Kevin Henry of The Gazette drops by to break down the postseason and the all the unlikely heroes (ex. Ryan McMahon) and former Rockies (ex. Jeff Hoffman) still impacted October. Does the Brewers 6-0 record against the Dodgers during the regular season mean anything?

Plus, Arizona and the Arizona Fall League gets hit by a hurricane, Bo BIchette gets left off the Blue Jays roster again and the familiar names from the 2020 Milwaukee Brewers postseason roster.

The Blue Jays are in the ALCS for the first time since being led by Troy Tulowitzki in 2016. Did Tulo have the most successful career reaching the postseason after leaving Denver? Which member of the Blake Street Bombers never contributed to a playoff club after 1995?

We know how poorly the Rockies pitched in 2025, but can we quantify it by individual pitches? Is there an easy solution to this beyond fielding a better roster?

Plus, the Savannah Bananas return to Coors Field, some new Denver Bears gear is on the way and the true story of Vlad Guerrero Jr.'s workout as a 16-year-old in front of all 30 MLB clubs,

Colorado may not have a GM or President of Baseball Operations just yet, but they have a new voice in the front office with a lot of success in his field. Should fans of the Rockies get excited for another successful businessman trying their foray into being a baseballman?

The Arizona Fall League began on Tuesday featuring a pair of prominent prospects - 1B Charlie Condon and OF Jared Thomas - on display. But who’s the biggest sleeper amongst Colorado’s minor leaguers?

Plus, Los Angeles Dodgers with a chance to dominate unlike anything we’ve seen in the postseason before, Roki Sasaki’s chances of staying a closer during the regular season and the Milwaukee Brewers commanding 2-0 lead over the Chicago Cubs.

Arbitration projections are here and the Colorado Rockies have seven players on which they'll need to make a decision: one-year deal (or more), file for arbitration (and the always impersonal arbitration process) or non-tender the player (and say goodbye). One player looks like a no-brainer to be gone in 2026, one could be a strong candidate while a third might be dependent on his health status. Who's who?

Whoever takes over as the next GM will need to figure out what to do with the 40-man roster as currently 44 players on the list, including a pair of free agents. If five prospects will need protection in November ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, how many players will need to be waived or DFA'd? And how how does the 60-Day IL work in the offseason?

Plus, a pair of Albuquerque Isotopes elect free agency, Toronto holds out three All-Stars from their ALDS roster and the real reason Brenton Doyle won't get much of a raise in 2026.

It took three days before Colorado announced GM Bill Schmidt was stepping down from his role. It's anyone's guess as to how long before they announce his replacement atop the front office pyramid. Who are the top baseball executives from other organizations that could become the 5th Rockies GM? And is there one clear favorite already?

While one former Rockie (Nick Hundley) has been viewed as a top option for the San Francisco Giants, another NL West club is standing firm with their coaching staff despite a disappointing season. What's the latest managerial news and rumors around MLB?

Plus, Teoscar Hernández hits a home run eerily similar to one Jack Cave remembers, the New York Yankees prepare for a must-win game and the Toronto Blue Jays do something they haven't done since when Troy Tulowitzki was their shortstop.

No Rockies player has ever earned a 1st or 2nd team All-MLB honors since the award was created in 2019. Will all that change with Hunter Goodman? After Cal Raleigh, who are the other catchers that could possible make the 2nd Team All-MLB over Goodman?

Five teams are in search of a new manager and that doesn't even include Colorado with interim manager Warren Schaeffer and Baltimore with interim manager Tony Mansolino. Bud Black is being viewed as a candidate for all five clubs. Which former Rockies are being favored for positions in Atlanta and San Francisco?

Plus, some great Rockies and Coors Field items up for auction right now, Jimmy Herget's impressive and overlooked season, and a world in which there is no postseason baseball on a Friday night in America.
