Purple Dinosaur Podcast

The 2020 season is on pause, but today would've been the Rockies' home opener against the Padres, so we bring you our version of today's #StayAtHomeOpener events. We'll discuss what we've been up to in this era of social distancing as well as field your #AskPDP questions on who we'd like to be quarantined with, how our dogs are doing, what four Colorado icons would take part in a Brewers-esque mascot race and more.

The world feels vastly different from when we last recorded an episode of your favorite Colorado Rockies podcast, and to be honest, we're not really sure what we're doing, much like the rest of society. But we're here to try to distract you for an hour-plus and maybe bring a smile to your face here or there.

This week on the show, we welcome Rockies fan and punk legend Jon Snodgrass for a lengthy and wide-ranging conversation. Plus Anthony and Tyler try to make sense of where we are as a civilization which, of course, is asinine because they're two dopes who willingly chose to devote like seven years of their lives in part to a podcast about the Colorado Rockies.

All that and more on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. WASH YOUR GODDAMNED HANDS AND MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Mark Simon from Sports Info Solutions joins the show to discuss the newly re-calibrated Defensive Runs Saved stat and how it affects all players across baseball including the Rockies. We get into Nolan Arenado vs. Matt Chapman, Trevor Story's ascendance, and the weirdness that is Tony Wolters as a defensive player.

Plus, Anthony and Tyler discuss some early spring storylines in Rockies camp and throughout baseball as spring training gets rolling. All that and more is on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Punch it into your TI-83 graphing calculator and see what ya get.

The last 48 hours of Rockies fandom have been absolutely exhausting, but with Tuesday came some incredible and unprecedented news: your, my, and our Colorado Rockies have their first Hall of Famer. At long last, Larry Walker is headed to the Hall. Anthony and Tyler break down what got ol' Mooselips to cross the threshold for the game's greatest honor (or honour) as well as some of their favorite (or favourite) memories of the Canadian legend.

Plus, there's some other stuff going on with the Rockies you may have heard about. The Nolan Arenado-Jeff Bridich, uh...feud? beef? spat? whatever it is, we spend a lot of time talking about it. Hopefully by the time you hear this, all of our takes are outdated and everything has been mended and is good again.

All that and more is here on the 182nd episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast! Slap it on a plaque and take it to Cooperstown!

We haven't done a show in like three months, SO HERE IT IS, YOU UNGRATEFUL INGRATES. Just kidding, we love [most of] you. On this week's/month's episode, we try to break down what is going on with the Rockies offseason because nothing seems to be going on with the Rockies offseason! We figured we had nothing to talk about, and then we somehow talked for an hour about how absolutely nothing is going on with the Rockies offseason. But THEN, hooooo boy are you in for a treat. Anthony and Tyler long ago established their friendship on baseball and hating television commercials, and the back half of this episode is all about the worst holiday commercials of 2019.

All that and more is on this, uh, winter season's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Use it to blackmail Santa Claus into giving you a luxury car you don't deserve!

As the title of our 180th episode may have clued you in, ANTHONY'S BABY IS NEARLY HERE. So this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast might be our last while the 2019 MLB season is still ongoing. We'll discuss the impending terror of fatherhood for one of our hosts while the other dissects the various bids he's received to take out a dead tree in his backyard. Truly harrowing content.

The Washington Nationals are headed to the World Series! They'll also have a lengthy layoff until Game 1 after sweeping their way through the NLCS. Feels like we've seen that story play out before, but for the life of me, I can't remember when or what happened and please no one remind me.

Plus, we field your #AskPDP queries from the final weeks of the regular season and start to the 2019 postseason.

All that and more is here on the latest edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast, the last one before one of us brings offspring into the world!

The 2019 Colorado Rockies season has (mercifully) come to an end, but man the stories certainly haven't. In the first 48 hours after the conclusion to arguably the most disappointing season in franchise history, the Rockies announced an underwhelming extension of their extremely underwhelming TV deal that basically guarantees they'll still have among the fewest televised games in the big leagues, and their owner and general manager held a strange press conference in which they cried poor in reference to adding payroll for 2020, revealed odd details about Nolan Arenado's contract, and basically came across as frighteningly out of touch with external evaluations of the franchise's current state.

So with that, we're back! The big league playoffs start tonight, and we'll give you our predictions for how all of that shakes out.

It's a new episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast! For the first time in over a month! Pretend like it means something!

We'll always have The Tim Melville Game.

This week on your favorite Colorado Rockies podcast, we'll take a look at the unlikely road back to the big leagues for new cultural phenomenon Tim Melville. From a high draft pedigree and huge signing bonus to a being a journeyman prospect to working at a barbecue joint to independent ball to Chase Field on a weird and fun August afternoon, Melville gave the Rockies -- and Rockies fans -- something to love this week. We'll give our appreciation for it.

Plus, the final six weeks of the season can give the Rockies a look at what could be key contributors going forward. Will that be the plan? And if so, who should be getting looks?

And we've got a surprise announcement about a Rockies organization member going overseas soon. All that and more on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Order it with your two meat and sides combination!

The Rockies have won exactly 10 games in the second half since the start of July, but they brought a new wrinkle into the season with the introduction of the Cucarachas...um...meme? Identity? Gag? We'll discuss what it means for where the clubhouse is right now as the Rockies try to salvage something from this season and what it could mean about where the clubhouse has been throughout this season and this stunning regression.

Plus, Dom Nunez has arrived in the big leagues, Jeff Hoffman continues ping-ponging back and forth between Albuquerque and Denver, and the best prospect talent in the system is still at the lower levels. How much should the final few weeks of this lost season go toward playing young players and getting a read on what this team will look like in 2020?

All that and more is here on the latest edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. YUUUUMMMMM!

The Rockies' season continues to slip away, and the boys of your favorite podcast are back to discuss as little of it as possible. Instead of re-crunching the numbers on what has gone wrong (basically everything), this week's show is heavy on your #AskPDP queries from how the Rockies can try to fix things over the offseason to kinds of dogs you'd rather pet and everything in between.

Plus, we'll take a look at Major League Baseball's (very cool!) decision to play a game at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa next year and tell you that it's totally fine if you like that movie. Really, it is. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

It's the 176th episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast! Drink it slowly as you wander Coors Field in misery!
