Atlanta tanked from 2015-17 and proceeded to make six-consecutive postseasons and win the 2021 World Series. Could the Colorado Rockies rebuild be compared more to them than the recent Baltimore Orioles rebuild?

Lindsay Crosby of Braves Today helps dig into Chris Sale’s Hall of Fame candidacy, the shocking MVP campaign from Marcell Ozuna, the underrated dominance of Raisel Iglesias and the 2025 landing spot for Max Fried (WARNING: it could be the Los Angeles Dodgers).

The Colorado Rockies begin their 9-game road trip in Atlanta against NL Cy Young Award favorite Chris Sale, who struck out 17 in seven innings the last time he faced the Denver 9. Lindsay Crosby from Braves Today helps preview the series.

Lindsay also explains why Truist Park is located so far outside of the downtown Atlanta and how difficult this season has been for the organization. Will they change their approach to roster construction because of the challenges of 2024? Or can they simply chalk it up to the loss of Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider, plus several other injuries?

Seth Halvorsen was selected in the 7th round of the 2023 MLB Draft and he’s already making an impact on the Colorado Rockies roster. The 24-year-old from the University of Tennessee discusses his whirlwind debut and 100 mph proclivity.

Renee Dechert helps determine whether or not the offseason could see the loss of some veteran starting pitchers in order to create room for youngsters like Chase Dollander.

Plus, a trio of Rockies reach 20 home runs for the first time since 2021, while a fourth might be able to make it a quartet for the first time since 2019.

Matt and Jackson Holliday took over Coors Field this weekend as the father-and-son duo returned to Denver for the first time since 2018. The two reminisced about the Rocktober run that led to the 2007 World Series.

Renee Dechert of Pitcher List, Just Baseball and Purple Row breaks down the Baltimore Orioles series. How close did Zach Eflin come to throwing a Perfect Game? Were the O’s - like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman - a little unimpressive? 

Plus, more franchise firsts from Colorado’s rookie bullpen, a funny misunderstanding with Drew Romo and a Michael Phelps sighting.

Jackson Holliday was a 3-year-old in the arms of his father, Matt Holliday, as the Colorado Rockies went on a historic run to the 2007 World Series. Now, as a 20-year-old rookie with the Baltimore Orioles, he has equally good odds to reach the 2024 Fall Classic in the American League.

Danielle Allentuck of the Baltimore Banner returns to Denver to share her thoughts on the Rockies organization, discuss the success and everything it took to create this version of the O’s, and preview the Labor Day Weekend series.

Ezequiel Tovar continues his rise as one of the best young shortstops in Major League baseball today. The 23-year-old reaches a notable milestone for doubles, becoming the youngest in Colorado Rockies history to do so.

Brendan Rodgers continued his onslaught against the Miami Marlins with two home runs, but eight runs on 12 hits were not enough for Rox.

Kyle Freeland did his job on Wednesday to help Colorado split the series and, in the process, climbed up the all-time leaderboard in Rockies history. What’s his next record?

The Colorado Rockies are still on pace for 100-losses this season. Any way you try to view it, the odds are against avoiding the century mark in back-to-back season.

Mark Knudson, member of the 1993 Expansion club and Colorado native, shares his thoughts on the 2024 squad and on the future of the organization. 

Plus, as the only human being to ever play at four levels of baseball in Colorado - high school, college, minor leagues and the Majors - Mark explains why Cal Quantrill is the epitome of mindset over skillset as a starting pitcher.
