Remember that start in 2019 when Germán Márquez nearly threw a no-hitter in San Francisco? That was six years ago and one Tommy John surgery later. Now 30 years old and carrying a 9.90 ERA through his first seven starts of 2025, what options are available for him and the Colorado Rockies?

Can the Rockies learn anything from their mistakes in 2021 and 2022? How are they still impacting the club four years later?

Plus, making sense of the ballplayers fascination with the Kentucky Derby and horse racing.

Kyle Freeland set a franchise record with his 207th career start and earned his 100th quality start in the process. Despite minimal run support once again, the Colorado Rockies scored three runs late against a strong Giants bullpen to snap multiple losing streaks and win their second game in a row.

Who was clutch for the offense? Was Ryan McMahon lucky to end his 0-for-35 hitless streak? And what former Rockies prospect made the final out for San Francisco?

Plus, Charlie Condon nears a return, Zac Veen heats up in Triple-A and the hottest of hot seats in MLB. Who's ahead of Bud Black in terms of job uncertainty?

Colorado was in danger of going 0-6 on their final homestand of April before Chase Dollander led the way over reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale. Should we expect the 23-year-old rookie to continue to snap losing streaks for the Rockies?

Brenton Doyle snapped an 0-for-20 slump with a go-ahead home run and double while Ryan McMahon continued to struggled with a franchise record 0-for-34 streak. How did McMahon contribute to the 2-1 win over Atlanta?

Plus, Zach Agnos earns his first save, Rockies hope to win more games the the 2002-23 Denver Nuggets and Patrick gets bullied by Atlanta's clubhouse.

Another day, another loss for the Colorado Rockies who are now on pace for 22 wins for the entire 162-game season. There are many ways to break down how historically bad they've been, but only one way it's been historically good. What hasn't gotten enough love for Colorado?

Shadeur Sanders and the Rockies may appear to have nothing in common, but the controversy surrounding the former CU quarterback could have ramifications on Colorado's money this season. What exactly is the link?

Dante Bichette returned to Coors Field on the 30th Anniversary of the first regular season game played at 20th & Blake. What are his thoughts on the third-oldest ballpark in the NL? And whose number does he feel should be retired by the Colorado Rockies?

Coors Field kicked out a series of new stadiums in Denver and had some interesting stories to tell during the construction of the first baseball-specific stadium in the National League in over 30 years. Who was the first person to ever slide into home plate? And why exactly is Dinger the Rockies' mascot?

Plus, the tragic death of Big Ed Delahunty, a preview of the three-game series with Atlanta and a plea for being kind to your fellow human beings.

The Colorado Rockies have lost six games in a row, are 1-14 since April 11 and are on a 138-loss pace. Otherwise, things are great. Jordan Beck hit two more home runs and continues to pace the offense on down days. How many special groups did he join with his tremendous 36 hours at the plate this week?

An issue with injured middle infielders continues to plague the Rockies. When will Ezequiel Tovar and Thairo Estrada return and why does Alan Trejo make more sense than Ryan Ritter?

Plus, Michael Toglia slump buster, Ryan McMahon's first day off since 2024, the bullpen's new heroes and a happy ending for Adael Amador's first home run baseball.

While the Colorado Rockies celebrate the 30 Anniversary of the first regular season game at Coors Field on Saturday, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is carefully watching the developments of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League.

What is the AUSL? What former GM is running the show for this new four-team league? And which neighboring states (and cable networks) can you watch this inaugural season?

Plus, the possibility of double-bases at first base, Sacramento as a legitimate expansion city and news about Tropicana Field.

Colorado had two bites at the apple in Kansas City, but could not snap their losing streak away from Coors Field, dropping their 13th-consecutive game on the road, tying a franchise record. What positive piece of history did Germán Márquez achieve?

Did a two-homer game from Yanquiel Fernández with Triple-A Albuquerque spark Jordan Beck's three home runs on Thursday? And which Hall of Famer is the only other Rockies player to accomplish such a feat?

Plus, a preview of the Cincinnati Reds series, Bobby Witt Jr.'s career-high and a potential 2025 debut for another starting pitcher on Monday prompted by Wednesday's cancellation.

Colorado had no right winning on Tuesday night and, yet, they were able to go ahead in the ninth inning against former Rockies' reliever Carlos Estévez. Toughest loss to take in 2025?

The farm system is beginning to heat up at all levels, especially Triple-A Albuquerque and Double-A Hartford. Could Kyle Karros really debut this season after starting in the Eastern League? And who's the one starting pitcher prospect with 19 strikeouts and 1 walk that deserves more attention?

Plus, Brenton Doyle returns, favoritism between young outfielder and Patrick struggles with the term "Late Bloomer."
