Ever see two leadoff inside-the-park home runs before in the same season? If you said yes, you're lying. Jake McCarthy provided the only offense for the Colorado Rockies on Sunday to end the first half. How many losses are the Rockies on pace for? Did Michael Lorenzen improve his trade value?

Colorado did well on Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft, then got creative on Day 2. What Rockies prospects are already familiar with SS Tyler Bell (10th overall) and C Daniel Jackson (37th overall)? How many high school players did they take this season?

Plus, a trio of Colorado high schoolers get drafted around the league, sons of CC Sabathia and Jim Thome get selected and two of the Rockies top prospects start in the 2026 Futures Game.

The Rockies Insider with Patrick Lyons

Jake McCarthy does it again, Colorado ends first-half with a dud and Rockies select exciting talent in 2026 MLB Draft

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/53f5b34b-9026-423e-944a-b48600594d3d/transcript

We finally got the news no one was hoping for on Tuesday when Hunter Goodman was placed on the 10-day IL for a left shoulder strain. Who will take his place on the roster and who will pick up the slack offensively behind the plate? How good has the duo of Goodman and Brett Sullivan been for Colorado this season?

The signing of Michael Lorenzen did not turn out to be a good one for the Rockies. Despite everything they were hoping to get from Lorenzen on the field and off, Colorado cut ties with the 34-year-old instead of standing pat with him. Could Jose Quintana be back in the rotation to take his place? Where is Sean Sullivan in his rehab?

Plus, a case for Charlie Condon, Troy Johnson outpitches $69M closer Edwin Díaz of the Dodgers, the Kyle Tucker disappointment train makes a stop in Denver and details on the Larry Walker statue unveiling coming up this Sunday, August 23.

IL for Hunter Goodman (left shoulder strain), DFA for Michael Lorenzen (7.08 ERA), OMG for the Larry Walker statue 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/9b1d741e-fcdd-4d87-9d60-b4ab0009de7c/transcript

For the first time since 2018, the Colorado Rockies have taken a season-series from the San Francisco Giants (in a non-shortened season). How did the Rox come battle back from an early deficit? And what did Adael Amador do in his first start in over a year?

Zac Veen continues to make an impression even when he's not launching home runs. What body of water did his second homer of the year land on Friday night? How did he make eyes pop on Sunday to tie the ballgame in the sixth?

Plus, Hunter Goodman's status after missing all three games at Oracle Park, Kyle Freeland continues to shove and all the numbers you need to know about how much better Colorado is this year than the past few seasons.

Rockies win consecutive road series and take season series vs SF, but at what cost - Do Rox have plan with Goodman out?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a693ee0f-d78b-4186-b864-b4a9000bc0f0/transcript

Fresh of consecutive Player of the Week Awards in Triple-A, Zac Veen was promoted to the Majors for the first time since last April, 478 days ago. Why didn't he start in that first game back? What made his big home run so special on Wednesday?

Kyle Karros is in the midst of a great first full-season in the big leagues. After homering during a tight 3-2 ballgame on Tuesday, he was injured in a collision with Ezequiel Tovar. What's the status of the 24-year-old? Is it possible we don't see him for the rest of the season?

Plus, Adael Amador returns, Edouard Julien gets DFA'd, Tyler Freeman goes to the IL and Brenton Doyle makes a core memory for the Chicago White Sox.
