Purple Dinosaur Podcast

The first week (? week-ish?) of the 2020 Major League Baseball season is in the books, and your, my, and our Colorado Rockies are 4-1 after their first road trip. While the offense has been adequate, the pitching staff has been lights out from steady starting performances to absolutely dominant work out of the bullpen.

On this week's episode of the PDP, we look into some of the contributing factors behind the Rockies' hot start including some of the best stories in baseball (see: Bard, Daniel). Plus we dissect what the shortened schedule and upcoming lengthy homestands could mean for the Rockies as they attempt to continue their strong open to the campaign.

Also there's some other stuff in there about the movie "Rear Window" and we give Tyler Q's cat a shoutout for some reason.

All that and more in this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast! Wear a dang mask and wash your dang hands and keep your dang distance!

Believe it or not, we are a week away from "Opening Day" of the 2020 "Major League Baseball season" which really a.) doesn't feel like it and b.) is sort of weird and guilt-inducing because of the current state of the country anyway. But it appears that it's going to happen, so on this week's episode of the PDP, we take you through a brief-ish preview of the season. Please be advised that we recorded this early on Friday which meant that of course late on Friday, there was some big news with the Rockies cutting bait on Jake McGee and Bryan Shaw. The Super Bullpen is dead. Long live the Super Bullpen.

What can we expect this season? Who knows! But we try to dissect it on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Wear a mask! Don't be a dope! Go Rockies, kind of!

Major League Baseball has a plan to return to play in less than a month, and that is the topic du jour on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. The exciting thing? Baseball! In less than a month! The scary thing? The road ahead is fraught with complications as the COVID-19 outbreak rears its head again across the country. We talk about some of the specifics on MLB's return to play plan including its medical elements, travel, and the risks therein.

It's the newest episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. WEAR A MASK AND WASH YOUR HANDS, YOU GRUBBY KIDS.

After a couple of weeks away, the PDP returns aaaaaaaaand there's still no baseball. But maybe there will be soon. Or maybe not! It's a fun guessing game that changes every four seconds or so, so at least we have that to get us through the days!

This week, we discuss the latest entanglements of MLB and the MLB Players Association in trying to figure out if and when and how a season can be played in our Brave New World of a pandemic killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, 40 million out of work, societal upheaval, and more. The Rockies seem to have done well in the vastly shortened 2020 MLB Draft. We break down Colorado's six selections.

Plus, we dive into your ask PDPs which lead us down a road of remembering guys like Ramon Ortiz and Jeff Fassero and also which Rockies player will get field mics cut the most this year with rampant profanity.

All that and more is here on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Wear your mask! Still! Don't be an idiot!

The PDP is back for another week in this pandemic world of ours that includes no baseball and yet somehow a bunch of baseball news. This week on the show, we'll discuss the latest news in negotiations between Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association from the owners' most recent pay proposal to the players' nearly immediate and seemingly unanimous rejection of that proposal plus what it appears the players' counter will be.

We also field a ton of #AskPDP questions from our top breakfast cereals to road trip snack options to which former Rockies manager would make the best president (it's not actually Jim Leyland) and what the Rockies' legacy as a franchise will be 30 years from now.

All that and more is on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Reminds me of summer. Better flip that podcast, dad. You know how I like it.

On this week's episode of the PDP, Anthony and Tyler dive into the latest news surrounding a possible return of big league baseball to a stadium possibly near you? But without you or us or anyone else in attendance? But still that sounds good? If money issues don't derail the whole thing? And you don't for some reason sympathize with the owners over the players? Because the owners agreed to something two months ago and are now trying to back out of it? Or not? It's all kinds of complicated! And two guys without legal expertise or financial savvy will attempt to parse it all for you!

Plus, we field your #AskPDP questions on everything from how the Rockies let Roberto Ramos go to Korea to what a team of 25 Todd Heltons would have done in his prime.

All that and more is on this week's episode of the PDP. Just because your state may be lifting stay-at-home orders doesn't mean you should listen to it in a crowded place! Keep being smart!

Another week has come and gone, and your friendly neighborhood Colorado Rockies podcast is back to talk about the absence of baseball and such things.

This week, we give you our All-Name teams in Rockies history and dive into the surprisingly extensive post-baseball professional life of Kit Pellow, the things we do to snap out of our isolation funk, and who the MURDER HORNETS are most likely to go after in the big leagues.

Plus, yes, we'll give you our thoughts on who you should be cheering for in the Korea Baseball Organization.

All that and more is here on this week's episode of the PDP! Dip it in water so it'll slide down your gullet easier!

After a week away for *things* outside of PDP-land, your favorite neighborhood Colorado Rockies podcast returns to kick off the month of May. This week, we give you updates on the latest news around any possible big league season in 2020, the cancellation of this year's Hall of Fame Weekend (meaning Larry Walker has to wait until 2021, dagnabit), and more.

Plus, a bevy of #AskPDP queries arrives with you guys bringing the heat as usual, posing questions from our top quarantine beers and takeout meals to prospect talk and what Rockies uniform changes we'd like to see.

All that and more is here on the 188th episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. We love you!

We talk a lot about Shawn Estes in this episode for some reason. Remember Shawn Estes? He's back. In PDP form.

On this week's edition of the show, we discuss MLB's participation in what seems like a fascinating study into how the COVID-19 virus has spread across the country and how that can help medical researchers and professionals plus we field your #AskPDP questions on the best one-year Rockies, who we thought was good at baseball back in the day who modern metrics would confirm was decidedly NOT good at baseball and a whole lot more.

It's the 187th episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Wash your hands and stay at home! Still! We know you're getting sick of it, but it's important!

There's no baseball season. You're aware of that. But what you do hold in your hands right now is the newest edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast, fresh out of the podcasting oven. Ope, don't bite yet! It's steaming hot!

What? Anyway, we're losing our minds. But we're going to try to keep bringing you podcasts on a regular basis as we all slog through the morass of this weirdness together. Today, Tyler and Anthony discuss baseball's possible return scenarios and while looking for optimism in the return of sports may not be as simple as looking to baseball's return in Taiwan and Korea.

Plus we take your #AskPDP queries (which have been hilarious and brilliant lately, by the way) on topics like our top quarantine groups to our favorite Mark Reynolds memories and more. All that and more on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Listen to it in your home, wehre you belong, socially distant and responsible!
