The Rockies were the only team in MLB not to make a trade at the trade deadline. Now, what is next for the Rockies? We try to decipher what the Rockies could be doing and we discuss the "purple purgatory."

The Rockies also changed their lineup up a bit on Thursday in San Diego and won so will we start to see some different lineup looks as the last third of the season is upon us?

After no trade deadline moves, where are the Rockies going?

The trade deadline is only a few days away and we have changed our minds on what we think the Rockies will do after what we have heard from Rockies GM Bill Schmidt and knowing the Rockies M.O. 

We discuss our new predictions and we also discuss the problem that the Rockies don't even realize that they have: Is Denver a Dodger town or Is Denver a Padres town? Either way, it's not good for the Rockies.

What will the Rockies do at the trade deadline?

The Rockies have won three series in a row and they have the prospects to trade for Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto. But it is extremely unlikely to happen. However, three NL West teams are reportedly interested in him. 

How the Rockies play in Milwaukee and where Juan Soto could be traded will help determine whether or not the Rockies stand pat, are buyers, or are sellers before the August 2 trade deadline. We talk about how the two could intertwine, who we think will disappoint or be a pleasant surprise for the team in the unofficial second half, and a little bit on the Rockies 2022 Draft.

How Juan Soto trade rumors could impact the Rockies

The Colorado Rockies might not be trading anybody at the trade deadline because they believe that they could be contenders. As a result, they will be taking away playing time from younger players that need to show whether or not they are part of future plans, like Elehuris Montero.

We also talk about the Wild Cards in both leagues and about Kris Bryant and why some fans are upset with him and why they shouldn't be.

The Rockies are on the verge of a big mistake

The Rockies were just swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium ... which should signal the end of the Rockies' thought process that they are contenders. Right? Well, only time will tell but we talk about what the Rockies should be doing here in the next few weeks and how the goal to reach .500 is a pipe dream.

We also discuss Colton Welker being DFA'd and the rising stock of the Rockies farm system.

The Rockies have to be sellers. Right?

On this episode, we talk a bit about what the Rockies should do at the trade deadline. They think that they still have a run left in them but we both think that is a bit too optimistic.

We discuss the seven pieces that we think they should trade, who we think they will actually trade, and why they should trade those seven (or even more than seven) players.

What the Rockies should do at the trade deadline

Colorado's GM Bill Schmidt said this weekend that the Rockies' goal is to get back to .500. But can they actually get there? We look at each series moving forward until the All-Star break and whether it's likely or not.

We also discuss the Rockies roster crunch, especially with Kris Bryant likely returning this weekend in Minnesota.

Can the Rockies truly get back to .500?

The Rockies are reeling and reeling at home. There's a lot of blame to go around but, as they say, "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten." 

The Rockies have had that with their offense for much of the past five years and it has continued to be a problem this year. Now, will they make the philosophical and player changes to accomplish it?

Something has to change

Brendan Rodgers was just named the NL Player of the Week for his play last week, so we talk about how he has dug himself out of the hole he was entering May.

However, not much else is going well with the Colorado Rockies. We talk about Kevin Larson's article on how Germán Márquez could be tipping his pitches and how the defense has also really hurt the pitching staff as well.

We also talk about the City Connect uniforms and a hot take involving one of the Rockies' other uniforms (and an MLB uniform that every team has).

The summer of Brendan Rodgers

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the recent bullpen implosion by the Colorado Rockies in Pittsburgh and the bullpen, in general.

We also discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of the team through the 25 percent point of 2022, which was reached during the team's last series in Pittsburgh, and we talk about how the team's downslide really could be the series that the team really looks back on if they decide to be sellers at the deadline or just miss the playoffs by a few games.
