It’s been 48 hours since the disappointing news about Todd Helton and the debate continues to rage, especially after one ballot was lost in the mail.

How was his experience at Coors Field for Upper Deck Golf? Better golf partner: Vijay (Singh) or DJ (LeMahieu)? We also consider if trading Brendan Rodgers is a good idea after the Marlins requested…

Thomas Harding of MLB.com joins us to discuss The Toddfather’s qualifications for Cooperstown. What made Helton’s 2000 so historic? Did he end a dynasty with one swing? And just how excellent are his numbers…
To wave or not to wave: that is always the question. Suzie sits down with Colorado Public Radio host Vic Vela to discuss his feature from last season (and the surprising reaction he got from Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland when asked about The Wave). Read Vela’s story, “Love it or hate it, The Wave is wooing crowds all over the…
With Empower Field set to get a $100 million renovation, it begs one very simple question: what can you buy with $100 million these days anyway? We also discuss if Coors Field could possibly see any changes and review the most recent upgrades from 2019. The 2014 crop of shortstop prospects was a special one that has earned over $1…
Do you remember waking up on this day 15 years ago? Sure, recalling last night’s dinner can be enough of a challenge for most, but 2007 is something different. There. Now it’s starting to come back to you. On the morning of October 16, 2007, you woke up and realized your baseball team, the Colorado Rockies, were heading to their…
For every fan who sat through all 162 games this season for the Colorado Rockies, you should be saluted. Despite witnessing the fifth-worst season in franchise history (68-94, .420), there were moments that made an indelible mark on all our memories, even if you experienced it the morning after. That, ultimately, is the reward for committing to a team: memories…
Colorado lost the series to San Diego this weekend, so we’ll focus on the fireworks from Friday night… and we don’t mean the literal ones. Ezequiel Tovar arrived and did something no other Rockies have EVER done before. Who was previously closest to Tovar’s record? What did Bill Schmidt have to say about 2022 and the future of the franchise?…
The hype is more than just hope with the arrival of Colorado Rockies’ top infield prospect Ezequiel Tovar. Batting eighth and playing shortstop on Friday against the San Diego Padres as one of fives rookies in the starting lineup, Tovar represents the start of something promising for an organization heading into it’s fourth consecutive offseason without September relevance. At least…
Michael Toglia is not someone who wastes time introducing himself to fans of the Colorado Rockies. In his first game in front of the Coors Field crowd at the Futures Game in 2021 as part of the MLB All-Star Game festivities, he slugged a home run. Upon getting promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque on August 9, he promptly swatted seven home…
There’s a sizable opportunity for the Colorado Rockies over the next three days. A trio of contests against the 61-82 Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field could help the 2022 squad from being on the wrong side of history. The 108-year-old ballpark nestled in a neighborhood on the Northside seems quaint, but it’s not the type of location that produces home…

Colorado posted some big numbers on the night they celebrated some big players in the form of future Hall of Famers Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina. What did Nolan Arenado have to say? And what did he almost improbably do on the field? Drew Goodman, voice of the Colorado Rockies on AT&T SportsNet and host of his eponymous podcast, shares…
I am, to a fault much of the time, a pragmatic person to my core. If you’re familiar with me at all from my work over at DNVR Avalanche, you’ll know that I’m guided but tangible things, logic, reason, data. All the stuff that makes you a big sports nerd these days, I suppose. That’s part of what made things…
Believe it or not, Colorado’s bullpen has given up only 2 runs in their first five games. Not only that, but the Rockies own first place in the NL West and are tied for the best start in baseball. Drew Goodman from AT&T SportsNet discusses small sample sizes and the realities of this strong start for Colorado. Rockies off to…

Sometimes, we take for granted the things that have always been there for us. At some point in the future – the near future – there will come a day that you’ll have tickets to see the Colorado Rockies at home with your friends, family or significant other. You’ll walk past the statue of The Player at the corner of…
