This week, Evan and Skyler discuss the long awaited 2024 Major League Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony as Colorado Rockies legend Todd Helton takes his rightful place among the best baseball players of all time. Former Rockies manager Jim Leyland was also inducted and had kind words about the Rockies organization. Next up it's time to discuss expectations for the second half of the season and play a little armchair GM as we near the trade deadline.

The first half of the MLB season has come to an end as we enter the All-Star break, and with that comes the draft. The Colorado Rockies made an excellent selection as 3B/OF Charlie Condon from the University of Georgia fell into their laps at third overall. Skyler and Evan discuss the first round of the draft (with a full draft recap to come later this week) and Chase Dollander in the Futures Game. Meanwhile, Michael Toglia has been on an absolute power surge since returning to the big leagues. Big Mongoose is looking to cement his role as the Rockies' franchise first baseman. The Rockies are also looking at what moves to make this trade deadline and Germán Márquez made his triumphant return.

This week, Skyler is rejoined by a smoky-voiced Evan as the Colorado Rockies have had their lone All-Star Game representative revealed to be one Ryan McMahon. It's also as good a time as any to complain about fan voting. Meanwhile, Brenton Doyle is off to a molten hot start in July while Ezequiel Tovar is slumping hard. We wrap things up by discussing the departure of Dakota Hudson via DFA, the call-up and MLB debut of Tanner Gordon, and name our July Pitchers and Position Players of the Month!

After the awful first half the Colorado Rockies endured in 2024, Evan is physically ill leaving Skyler to find some comfort in talking to his older brother Dustin Timmins who serves as his co-host for the Every Rockie Ever podcast. In this new episode, the Timmins brothers talk about the unexpected removals of Alan Trejo and Elehuris Montero from the roster. They then lament some of the frustrating circumstances and results of the first half, including way too many unfortunate records. Capping things off they debate if the Rockies could find their very own Grimace solution to catch some fire as a team.

It's common for MLB players to eventually have children grow up to be professional players as well. The fun part is when those children end up playing for the same team as their father. In the history of the Rockies they have just one father/son duo in the form of Eric Young Sr. and Jr. An original Rockie in 1993, Sr. was a key player for the Rockies until he was traded in 1997, and he eventually came back to coach. The brothers reflect on his offensive prowess and iconic home opener home run at Mile High Stadium. Then they look to the career of Jr who played several years with the Rockies in a part-time role from 2009-2013. Known mostly for his quick speed, Jr. didn't have as notable a career as his dad, but hey they starred in a great commercial together!

This week, Evan and Skyler discuss the curious case of one Jake Cave going from shunned pariah to man of the people thanks in no small part to his explosive outburst against the one true force all baseball fans can band together against: umpires! What role does someone like Jake Cave play on this team and why is it important? Meanwhile, the rash of Rockies injuries is still less than ideal, but multiple key players are either coming back at last like Kyle Freeland or are very close to returning like Germán Márquez. The lads also take a look at the bright future presented by the Colorado Rockies farm system on all levels, but especially the young men with the High-A Spokane Indians and the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats, both of whom clinched first half playoff berths.

This week Evan and Skyler have a much needed extended venting conversation about Kris Bryant and his time with the Colorado Rockies. The former superstar is aging like a fine glass of milk to the detriment of himself, the team, and the fanbase. Something's got to give because at this point it's just getting ridiculous. After getting that off their chests, it's time to wheel into a much more positive topic of conversation: Ezequiel Tovar, Ryan McMahon, and the other Rockies players deserving of an All-Star nod. The lads wrap things up talking about Adael Amador's first week in the bigs and his role moving forward.

The MLB Draft is just a month away, so Skyler and Dustin decided to look back on the Rockies history of first round draft picks and talk about some of those that cracked the big league roster, fizzled out in the minors, or became busts. From the fated Greg Reynolds pick to the brief career of Choo Freeman, the brothers cover it all and discuss how much the Rockies have failed with their top picks.

This week, Evan and Skyler break down up-to-date injuries and playing time issues affecting the Rockies as they have been skidding over the last week and change. Kris Bryant is back on the injured list, Nolan Jones is still on rehab, and Jake Cave is for some unknown reason playing every day. Meanwhile, Michael Toglia is back in with the big league club and looking to stick around after a very strong series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Oh, and while we were recording it got announced (but not confirmed) that Rockies top prospect Adael Amador was being called up for his MLB debut in place of an injured Brendan Rodgers. The bullpen carousel also continues as the Rockies shuffle through pitchers and veteran journeymen relievers without a true shutdown guy.
