This week Evan and Skyler discuss the ongoing shuffling of the Colorado Rockies starting rotation as injuries, demotions, promotions, and alien abductions have caused the team to make some changes in the dog days of summer. Meanwhile, what's going on with Ryan McMahon? His glove is as sure as ever but his bat has cratered since returning from the All-Star Break. At the same time, Brenton Doyle might be the future of this organization at center field, so when do you pay him, and for how much? We polish things off with a fun new game of "Fire, Promote, Keep" and set our sights on the Rockies front office!

In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever Skyler and Dustin look back on 3 successful closers for the Rockies. They look back on the brief, yet stellar, relief record of José Jiménez, the human rain delay Rafael Betancourt and his unherald success as a backend reliever, and check back on the dominance of Huston Street who really cemented himself as one of the best closers in baseball history.

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!
