While we didn't get the Chase Dollander vs. Jacob deGrom we were hoping for on Friday, Rockies fans still got to see the club's top pitching prospect in action for his third Spring Training start on Saturday. Did the 23-year-old help or hurt his case to make the starting rotation? And do the on-field results even matter to the coaching staff?

Plus, Bradley Blalock emerges as a strong candidate to making the Opening Day roster, a 1st Round Pick gets sent to minor league camp and Ryan Feltner makes his third Cactus League outing.

Spring Training is heating up in Arizona for the Colorado Rockies and so are the position battles for a place on the Opening Day roster. Have Chase Dollander, Jordan Beck and Hunter Goodman made a strong case already? Who else is making noise and who’s struggling down in the Cactus League?

Patrick Lyons (@PatrickDLyons) is joined by his co-host Noah Spirek (@NoahSpirek) from Blake Street Banter to break down the key competitions going on at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, AZ.

Is Dollander forcing his way into the starting rotation? Can Bradley Blalock find his way into the mix? Does Drew Romo still have a chance as the backup catcher? And will Seth Halvorsen or Victor Vodnik lock down the closer role?

Plus, the boys take a look at a series of pitching injuries for Bud Black’s staff and what Tony Clark’s latest comments mean for MLB’s future on this episode of Rockies Insider brought to you by Blake Street Banter.

In a span of about 48 hours, Colorado lost three pitchers from the 40-man rotation: Austin Gomber, Jeff Criswell and Justin Lawrence. One landed on another team, one may end up fine after some rest and the final will miss all of 2025 following Tommy John surgery.

How does this news impact the starting rotation and bullpen depth for Opening Day? Plus, what five players were reassigned to minor league camp?

And a former Rockie calls it a career. Did this player do enough in his 13 years in the MLB to make the 2029 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot?

Chase Dollander made his second Cactus League start of Spring Training 2025. The results against the Diamondbacks may sound like one thing, but there's a reason why it isn't exactly that. Where does Dollander stand in his fight to earn a place in the starting rotation?

The Colorado Rockies also made a move on Saturday to waive reliever Justin Lawrence. What changed to make the team move on from the former 30-year-old closer?

Plus, the health status of lefties Lucas Gilbreath and Carson Palmquist, the debut game for Scott Alexander and Kris Bryant's hot start.
