Rocky Mountain Rooftop: A Colorado Rockies podcast. ·

2024/06/03

This week, Skyler returns to the show after his week away much like how the multitude of injured Colorado Rockies starting pitchers are moving ever closer to their returns. At the very least the other members of the rotation like Cal Quantrill, Austin Gomber, and even Dakota Hudson have held down the fort in strong fashion whilst their comrades heal up and work on rehab. Outfielder Nolan Jones is also close to returning which has us wondering... what exactly do the Rockies want from a guy like

We all have those players that we love who didn't necessarily turn the needle in the direction of contention but were still quality ball players in their own respect. In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever, Skyler and Dustin reflect on three players that they enjoyed that were cult classic heroes to them. Dustin first expands on his admiration of the pinch-hitting extraordinaire Greg Norton of the early 2000s. Skyler then delves into the fearsome bat of the Baby Bull Wilin Rosario but laments his

Evan is joined by friend of the show Patrick Lyons to discuss the flurry of roster moves the Colorado Rockies have made over the last handful of days. Pitchers being called up, sent down, and going all around as the bullpen seeks reinforcements to cure their struggles. The Rockies have also suffered several key injuries, the worst of which is top prospect outfielder Jordan Beck's broken hand that will sideline him for at least a month. Meanwhile, there are more moves to be made, trades to be

2024/05/20

This week, Skyler and Evan pull up their sterile nitrile gloves and dive into the open chest cavity of the Colorado Rockies' now ended seven game winning streak. What made the Rockies so successful during those delightful seven games of actually fun baseball? Then it's time to talk roster movement with the impending returns of Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones. Finally, other basement dwellers are already starting to sell. When should the Rockies bite the bullet and do the same? Who should be the ones to

This week, Skyler and Evan discuss the Colorado Rockies fresh off their sweep of the defending World Series Champion Texas Rangers. In just one week the Rockies have: finally won back-to-back games, finally won a series, won three straight games, won four straight games, and swept an opponent for the first time since May of 2023! What has been the key to this successful streak? Meanwhile, Hunter Goodman and Jordan Beck are two prospects being handled in very different ways, and the mystery behind

Every Rockie Ever #26: Vamos Rockies de Mexico

2024/05/08

Mexico has a rich history of players and culture and that become engrained in the sport of baseball. Recently, the Rockies played in Mexico City where Vinny Castilla and Jorge De La Rosa were recognized. However, beyond them are a slew of other players that spent a little bit of time with the Rockies. Skyler and Dustin explore the dozen or so players that were born in Mexico and ended up on the Rockies roster. They focus mainly on Armando Reynoso before diving into quick hits of the other

This week, Skyler and Evan are joined by friend of the show Patrick Lyons to discuss just how frustrating the Rockies have been. Especially frustrating is an interview coming to the defense of skipper Bud Black from general manager Bill Schmidt. After holding a team meeting following a sweep by the bottom-dwelling Miami Marlins, the Rockies came out of the gate with a win against the Pittsburgh Pirates... only to drop the last two games of the series in frustrating fashion and have it feel like

Fresh off the end of the Colorado Rockies playing in beautiful Mexico City, Skyler and Evan are ready to engage in a much needed vent session. The Rockies are bad and it's showing in every part of play from the top to the bottom. The floundering offense is particularly a sore subject and outside of a few exceptions the problems are widespread through the roster. What is there to be done? What can be done? The season may be lost but I don't think most of us expected it to be this bad. We finish up by

Also, did you know that a left elbow and a right shoulder are two different body parts

Skyler and Evan record on Monday morning after a busy weekend to discuss the state of the Colorado Rockies. The rotation is starting to round into better form but there is still much to be desired from the staff. Ryan Feltner stands out as the best of the bunch with the highest potential for the season. Meanwhile, slumping Rockies like Nolan Jones and Brendan Rodgers are starting to find their stride while guys like Brenton Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar are showing improvement from 2023 at the plate. We

Every Rockie Ever #25: Clint Barmes

Rocky Mountain Rooftop: A Colorado Rockies podcast. ·

2024/04/10

In 2005, Clint Barmes etched his name forever in the annals of Rockies history and the hearts of many fans. An Opening Day walk-off home run highlighted the incredible start to a promising career. Unfortunately, a broken collar bone in 2005 from a freak injury derailed his career and hindered him from reaching the potential that he always showed. Still, he was a true professional and played the game hard, which endured him to fans wherever he went.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
