Colorado had a chance to win their first series in May after taking Game 1 against the Texas Rangers, a club they've performed rather well against at Coors Field historically. Then came a 10-0 shellacking and a rough loss on Wednesday in the rubber match. And when was the last time the Rockies hit a home run?

Tanner Gordon did his best job to eat innings during Tuesday's loss. Gordon received praise from manager Warren Schaeffer for doing what no one has done since 1989. What else did Gordon do for the first time since Colorado's inaugural season?

Plus, potential starters on Thursday against Arizona, Nolan Arenado's all-time ranking in interleague play and Brett Sullivan (the catcher) has fun pitching.

The hottest commodity at this year's trade deadline may be Antonio Senzatela, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. The converted reliever is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $12 million this year. What does that lofty price tag mean for the Rockies return? And will we have to wait closer to the August 3rd deadline to see what Colorado gets back in a trade?

Ethan Holliday continues to rake at Low-A Fresno, adding the first multi-homer game of his career. But will it be Cole Carrigg that prospect pundits begin to start paying attention to with Jordan Beck on the IL? Why is his case so much better for an MLB debut than Charlie Condon?

Plus, the son of former GM Dan O'Dowd win California League Player of the Week, Colorado's outfield defense and TJ Rumfield makes a jaw-dropping catch at first base.

Sterlin Thompson is the latest prospect to join the Colorado Rockies hype train. The 31st overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft - which was given to the Rockies when Trevor Story decline a qualifying offer - has performed rather well the past two seasons in Triple-A. What history did he make on Friday night?

The Rocky Mountain Showdown was a let down for Colorado who lost the series with Arizona and went back to a 100-loss pace. When we get expansion in the coming years, there are strong odds that these two teams do not meet during Rivalry Weekend. Who would the Rockies play then?

Plus, Chase Dollander gets somewhat positive news, Blas Castaño makes his Rockies debut in style and Jake McCarthy exacts some revenge onto the Dbacks.

Chase Dollander exited Thursday's game in Pittsburgh during the second inning with what's been described as arm tightness. More information is on the way in coming days, but the notable drop in velocity has many holding their breath. What are the silver linings right now?

Ezequiel Tovar is batting .199 with a .522 OPS. He's chasing pitches outside the strike zone more than any hitter in the league. How worried should we be? And could be as simple as giving him a day off?

Plus, Erasmo Ramirez makes noise in the Triple-A rotation, Jake McCarthy heats up ahead of the Diamondbacks series and a critical period for Colorado is upon them.

Paul Skenes was nearly no-hittable in his last start against the Arizona Diamondbacks and on Tuesday, he nearly completed the task against another NL West club. It wasn't until the 7th inning when Mickey Moniak slashed a single to left that the no-hit bid from Paul Skenes was over. If you saw the play, do you think Oneil Cruz should have made that catch?

One day prior to the Rockies 3-1 loss to the Pirates, it was the 30th anniversary of the first no-hitter ever thrown against Colorado. Who accomplished the feat first? And how many have been thrown against the Rockies in their 34-season history?

Plus, ranking that start in the career of Skenes, Michael Lorenzen steps up once again on the road and a transaction before Tuesday's contest.

Michael Lorenzen has been a bit unlucky when you break down the numbers. BABIP, xSLG and a few other statistics suggest he hasn't been quite as bad as his 6.92 ERA would suggest. Is he ready to turn a corner on Tuesday against Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates?

When the breaking news of a two-time NL Gold Glove Award winner was getting traded on Saturday, there was a split second where Brenton Doyle was no longer a Rockie. However, it was Patrick Bailey of the San Francisco Giants who was traded to the Cleveland Guardians. In exchange, the Giants fortified their 2026 draft with the 29th pick this July. Could we see Colorado do something similar?

Plus, a few unfamiliar names are worth watching in the Pirates series and the Rockies move out of the Power Rankings basement (for now).

A series loss in Philadelphia didn't help the Colorado Rockies feel better about their 2026, especially as a win by the San Francisco Giants on Sunday put the Rox back in last place in the NL West. Entering Mother's Day, he remarkable was it for Colorado to be in 4th place this late in the season?

Warren Schaeffer's club has played a lot better on the road overall. A nail biter on Friday that should have been a blowout felt more like a moral victory than a real one. How much better are the Rockies on the road this season? Better than any in the past five years?

Plus, Mickey Moniak supports his pal Alec Bohm, Tomoyuki Sugano has his worst start of the season and Bryce Harper's early exit open winning opportunity for Colorado.

Colorado was one Juan Soto at-bat away from being swept by the New York Mets and extending their losing streak to seven games. However, Brennan Bernardino did his job (and did it well) and Jake McCarthy continued to rake. Was his eighth-inning grand slam fair or foul?

Concern over Ethan Holliday's debut over 18 games last year were overblown. Now, with his first offseason as a professional to tinker with his All-Star father (Matt) and big league brother (Jackson), Ethan is showing why he was selected 4th overall in the 2025 MLB Draft. How staggering has his improvement been so far this season?

Plus, another minor league reliever signing for Colorado, Mickey Moniak's Hall of Fame company and another great start for Jose Quintana.

Colorado struck a minor league deal with two-time All-Star Jordan Romano this week. After saving four games with the Los Angeles Angels already this season, bringing his career total to 117 saves, Romano could become the latest reliever to find success in the Rockies bullpen. Can the new pitching coaches turn him around in the same way they did Antonio Senzatela?

It was a cold one on Wednesday night in Denver. But was it the coldest this season? And why are Mets always in town for awful weather?

Plus, Blake Snell gets pranked by his own organization, Mason Miller's history season and Rockies prospect Tanner Thach wins Player of the Month for the Low-A Fresno Grizzlies.

Tomoyuki Sugano had no-hit stuff on Monday night and nearly matched a feat set only by Japanese Baseball Hall of Famer Hideo Nomo. Sugano, looking to be the first to throw a no-hitter for the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, fell short of the no-no, but proved why he's been Paul DePodesta's best signing. Has the pitching been a strength for Colorado overall?

Mickey Moniak continues to rake. Were it not for an IL stint to start the year, he would be tops in terms of OPS in the National League. Would trading Moniak makes sense for the Rockies? Or is he a piece for the future?

Plus, winter weather hits Denver mid-Spring, Cole Carrigg wins PCL Player of the Week and Antonio Senzatela's remarkable season so far.
