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.
