The Rockies Insider with Patrick Lyons

Winning two more games than in 2023 wasn't an impressive feat for the Colorado Rockies, but it did provide a little more hope for the future considering the roster was younger. Brenton Doyle may have led the team in bWAR (4.0), but Ezequiel Tovar led in many more categories. So should we be concerned about his 200 strikeouts?

Aaron McBride of Blake Street Banter joins for a crossover episode where we highlight the team leaders (like Charlie Blackmon for highest OBP and triples), remember Rocktobers past and celebrate a Todd Helton stat that puts him in a place unto himself.

Plus, an update on the Division Series, including the underdogs who could be spoilers this postseason.

ESPN ranked the Colorado Rockies as having the best Nike City Connect uniform in all of MLB. So why in the world would the Rockies choose to remove these fan favorites? And what's the actual goal with these jerseys anyway?

Herb Lawrence of CHGO White Sox discusses the success of the Southside black pinstripes before discussing the wild comeback win for the New York Mets over the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. What's better than a battle of the two craziest fans in baseball: Phillies vs. Mets?

Pete Rose passed away on Monday, September 30 at the age of 83. The Hit King leads Major League Baseball in numerous categories, but will never be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown for his gambling transgressions. Should PED users during the Steroid Era be held to the same standard?

Why is it a good thing that Ezequiel Tovar struck out 200 times this season? And what did Michael Toglia do that no other first baseman has ever accomplished?

Plus, previewing the 2024 MLB Postseason with the four Wild Card Series and highlighting the more than 10 former members of the Colorado Rockies who helped contribute to their teams reaching the playoffs.

The Colorado Rockies closed out 2024 with a tough 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Perhaps more importantly, Charlie Blackmon ended his 14-year career with the club in style: by slashing a single up the middle in his final at-bat.

The pomp and circumstance surrounding Chuck Nazty was beautiful with so many memorable moments both before the game and during, not to mention the entire week leading up to the end.

Ryan Feltner starred once again and might end up leading the 2025 rotation based on how he finished 2024. Plus, notes on Shohei Ohtani and that massive home run by Sam Hilliard.

The lovefest for Charlie Blackmon continues as the latest standing ovation is an all-timer. A sold out Coors Field meant 48,750 were on their feet to sing along and pay their respects to Chuck Nazty, who singled and walked twice. 

Shohei Ohtani roused the crowd as well with a 4-for-5 game for the Los Angeles Dodgers, including a historic stolen base and a mammoth home run.

Plus, updates on the AL and NL Wild Card races, the horrible Pale Hose (aka Chicago White Sox) and the final game in Oakland for the Athletics. Could something like that ever happen in Denver?
