The results may be the same, but there’s something different about the club on the corner of 20th and Blake Street thanks to interim manager Warren Schaeffer. How has he been utilizing the bench more and why might this translate to more wins?

Charlie Condon and Ryan Ritter make news in the minor leagues for the Rockies. And who is the prospect nicknamed “Beef” that we might see debut later this season in Denver?

Plus, Kyle Schwarber reaches a milestone, Nick Mears makes you grit your teeth and we finally get the Bryce Harper vs. Jake Bird matchup.

The vibe seems different in Arlington so far under new manager Warren Schaeffer. Why the noticeable change from the roster? And how much different will Schaeff's style be than his predecessor Bud Black?

Is the starting rotation coming back up to the norm following strong starts from Germán Márquez and Chase Dollander? Does it have anything to do with all eyes from the baseball world descending upon the Rockies?

Plus, potential for Aaron Schunk and Kyle Farmer to pitch this season, increased playing time for Adael Amador and the odds of GM Bill Schmidt keeping his job.

Changing the captain of a sinking ship doesn't exactly alter the course. Are the Rockies seriously considering an evaluator to dig into the necessary changes needed throughout the organization? Is it possible to install the team's first ever President of Baseball Operations?

Are there benefits to going with a new, younger manager in Warren Schaeffer? Could this help turns things around for at least a few individual players?

Patrick also answers questions from The Insiders - subscribers and members of the Rockies community - regarding what's next for their favorite club.

Before Bud Black was relieved of his duties, Colorado suffered the worst loss in franchise history. While not the most lopsided - remember that 25-1 loss to the Angels in 2023? - it was certainly the most embarrassing as they were shutout by a pitcher making his second career start.

How ugly did it get exactly for the Rockies against the Padres? Was watching the catcher become the pitcher at least fun when Jacob Stallings took the mound?

Plus, injury updates on Ezequiel Tovar and Kris Bryant, Aaron Schunk's big game against a future Hall of Famer and previewing the Texas Rangers series.

One day after an embarrassing 21-0 loss at the hands of the San Diego Padres, owner and CEO Dick Monfort made the call to remove Bud Black as the manager of the Colorado Rockies. Warrant Scheaffer, third base coach and infield instructor, will take over as the interim manager.

What will this change mean for Colorado? What was the response from players like Kyle Freeland and Ryan McMahon who have known Black as their only big league manager? Should this move have come sooner?

Bench coach Mike Redmond was also relieved of his duties. Hitting coach Clint Hurdle has been moved to interim bench coach. The team has not announced who will replace Hurdle as the hitting coach.

Plus, all the disastrous details of the third 8-game losing streak of the season, Elias Díaz returns, Hunter Goodman and Jordan Beck stay hot and so much more.
