The ex-Rockie pitcher shares what it was like inside the greatest team in franchise history and doesn't hold back on why fans and the organization are struggling. For anyone still parking in America's pastime, he shares some tips on arm care and what type of mindset it takes to be successful; whether its a mile above sea level or on the road in El Paso. We also learned a few things on the Trevor Story saga and don't expect a happy ending. As a fan let us know what you think and share some story lines you're watching this season. Go Rox!

Banter begins with early Spring Training takeaways. BRod (4:05) struggling early spring and how will Bud handle him. Hampson (5:15) quietly solidifying himself as the starting CF on opening day and is a (6:20) loose clubhouse a good thing? Nolan left the Rockies, but he also left Fuentes (8:00), will this affect his play? Nolan's?  

We sat down (10:02) with the Marketing Manager, Johnny Bravo, of the new low-A Rockies affiliate, Fresno Grizzlies. Bravo, graduate of Fresno State in 2018, discusses what he and the Grizzlies did to entertain fans during quarantine and how Fresno is handling going from AAA with the Nationals to low-A with the Rox. He shares the winning history of the Grizzlies, what to expect if you are able to make a game at Chukchansi Park. Get to know the Fresno Grizzlies!!!

We begin the episode (1:10) bantering about boycotting, good or bad. Greg Bird and CJ Cron (5:50) just signed minor league contracts to continue the trend of weird first base signings, and we each give our "Who to Watch" pick (9:50), spoiler alert, its Brendan Rodgers.

(13:42) As the voice of the Spokane Indians, broadcaster Michael Boyle introduces us to the newest Colorado Rockies minor league affiliate. Turns out it's a small world as Mike has a ton of ties to the Front Range and the Colorado Rockies.

Mike shares what the grind of broadcaster is like and what tips he picked after replacing a Hall of Famer. Mike served as the weekend sports anchor when he started at KREM and has been a fill in sports anchor, reporter, producer and photographer since the fall of 2003. Before coming to KREM, Mike was the weekend anchor at the ABC affiliate in Spokane for two years

Late night reactions after hearing the news Nolan was traded to the NL Central St. Louis Cardinals.  The Rockies are a mess, we still love Nolan, and quite frankly, We. Are. Sad.

  Hot Stove!? More like.........Cold Stove amiright? We get together to just chat about the current state of all things in Rockies world and baseball in general. The Hall of Fame vote is behind us and Spring Training is right around the corner. We needed to vent about the Front Office, discuss the rumor mill and bring some interesting signings that could signal the Rockies game plan for the middle infield.

Now that the MLB tender deadline has passed, we dissect some moves the Rockies front office somehow thought were good ideas in our new segment "Big Mad or Little Mad".   

The relationship between fans and ownership has reached a fever pitch of apathy, anger and perplexity. Smelling blood in the water, Dodgers fans are actively weighing in on the interactions, or lack of interactions, between front office  execs and star players.   

Tired of dealing with ridiculous one sided trade rumors? Good, because we have more. Cincinnati comes sniffing for a prized infielder.
