Skyler and Evan are joined this week by Patrick Lyons to discuss the 2024 trade deadline... More specifically the Colorado Rockies and their inaction during said deadline. The Rockies made no moves on the day of the actual deadline and obtained just three prospects in exchange for Nick Mears and Jalen Beeks. Meanwhile the front office feeds us the same lines we usually hear about how contention is just around the corner despite not actually doing anything to help the Rockies fully rebuild and find a new contention window. Color us skeptical, but we just don't believe this is a team that will be competitive in 2025 after what will likely be back-to-back 100+ loss seasons. We wrap things up on a more positive note with Brenton Doyle running away with July Player of the Month and naming our July Pitcher of the Month.

This week Evan and Skyler discuss the rapidly approaching trade deadline after the Colorado Rockies made their first move in dealing right-handed pitcher Nick Mears to the Milwaukee Brewers. Rockies fans also dealt with a little scare when Brenton Doyle was removed from Sunday's game early, but no other trades have been made at time of recording. The Rockies also had a fun series with the Boston Red Sox that led to Cal Quantrill becoming the newest Rockies folk hero while Red Sox players sought to deliver him comeuppance. The wind was promptly taken out of the Rockies' sails when they traveled to San Francisco and were promptly swept in an ugly series where they struck out 53 times.

In this episode, Evan and Skyler are also joined by the delightful and talented Rockies top catching prospect Drew Romo (no. 7 PuRP) for an interview! We thank him so much for joining us!

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!
