It was Opening Day at Coors Field and things couldn’t have really gone worse. Despite plenty of pomp and circumstance, the 37° temperature and snowy conditions kept away some fans with tickets and the 11-inning marathon home many who were tired of seeing the Colorado Rockies squander many scoring opportunities.

How badly did the starting lineup? Why wasn’t Kris Bryant in the starting lineup? Are the Rockies using those new torpedo bats?

Plus, Sunday’s starter was announced and it couldn’t have been any more exciting: top pitching prospect Chase Dollander will be in Denver for his Major League debut. How did he fare in his first Triple-A start? What can we expect from the 23-year-old out of the University of Tennessee?

The Philadelphia Phillies are a beast at Citizens Bank Park and the Colorado Rockies continue to ride the struggle bus on the road. Kyle Freeland was outstanding for his second consecutive start.

Plus, all the details you need to know for Friday’s home opener at Coors Field in Denver. Parking lots, pre- and post-game festivities and information about the ceremony before the start of the Rockies-Athletics game at 2:10 p.m. (Spoiler: wear layers and a raincoat.)

The Colorado Rockies scored as many runs (9) as the New York Yankees hit home runs (9) during a game this past week. What’s the deal with Torpedo bats? Is the science behind the innovation legit? And, most importantly, is it actually legal?

Colorado has been in a winning position all four games this season against the Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies, yet have only one win to show for it. Who is letting down the Rockies? Are they missing that intangible of knowing how to win?

Marlins gets a team Hall of Fame and Denver readies for the Coors Field home opener on Friday… so long as it doesn’t get rained out.

The all-time leading strikeout leader for the Colorado Rockies, Germán Márquez has missed a lot of time the past two seasons, but on Monday for the Philadelphia Phillies home opener at Citizens Bank Park, he was magnificent once again. Was Márque dominant?

Bullpen implosion strikes again with a razor thin margin of error. Scott Alexander, Victor Vodnik and Bradley Blalock allow the Phils to take the first game of this three-game set.

Hunter Goodman hammers his first home run of 2025, Kris Bryant continues to K and Michael Toglia struggles with making contact for Colorado's lineup. Are there any options for improvement?

The Colorado Rockies found themselves in position to win a series over the Tampa Bay Rays to start the 2025 season. With solid starting pitching performances by Kyle Freeland, Antonio Senzatela and Ryan Feltner, Bud Black's crew were in all three games at George M. Steinbrenner Field. But are they actually above .500?

The offense needed a pinch-hit home run from an unlikely source to snap a homerless drought. Who hit the first homer of the Rockies season? And why hasn't he started a game yet?

Plus, Kris Bryant gets a day off, someone uses Charlie Blackmon's walk-up music, Brenton Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar battle for highlight of the year, and Hunter Goodman becomes a breakout MVP candidate for Colorado.

It's been a strange few days for the Colorado Rockies as they prepare for Opening Day 2025. Just when it seemed fans could sit back for a few days before the start of the season, Colorado is involved in two new transactions.

Where is Greg Jones, a trade acquisition one year ago, headed? And how did Joe Rock, the 2nd Rd Pick from 2021, fare during his season with the Tampa Bay Rays?

The Rockies added OF Mickey Moniak on Wednesday on a big league deal. Is there room for him on the roster? How much further does this push back Zac Veen's timeline?

Plus, predictions on the AL/NL Rookie of the Year, Cy Young Award, Manager of the Year and Most Valuable Player, not to mention all 12 teams that will make the postseason (guaranteed to be 100 accurate) and the 2025 World Series matchup.

The Colorado Rockies will play 162 MLB games during the 2025 season. Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess what happens with the likes of Kris Bryant, Brenton Doyle, Ezequiel Tovar, Kyle Freeland and Germán Márquez.

Will Bud Black’s team lose 100 games again? Is there a Platinum Glove winner on this roster? Will any of their prospects make a push for the National League Rookie of the Year Award?

Patrick Lyons (@PatrickDLyons) and Noah Spirek (@NoahSpirek) have some fun previewing and predicting exactly everything that will happen - guaranteed! - to the Rockies this season.

Dick Monfort, CEO and primary owner of the Colorado Rockies, had some thoughts for Mark Kiszla of the Denver Gazette. Does MLB really need a salary cap? Do the Los Angeles Dodgers have an unfair advantage? Does any of that matter with six Wild Cards?

Plus, extension seasons heats up with four clubs locking up their top players for multiple seasons. Who are the last Rockies to get notable extensions at this time of year? And would it make sense to give Brenton Doyle a six-year extension?
