Since Ezequiel Tovar went on the IL on June 3, Colorado has won as many games (10) as they’ve won with him through the first two months of the season. Can his return to the Rockies improve the lineup and signal a trade that allows Ryan Ritter to stay in the Majors?

Interim manager Warren Schaeffer has been using his full roster, which means several notable starters - Hunter Goodman, Brenton Doyle and Ryan McMahon - have received more days off than in the past. What’s the logic behind keeping the club’s best hitters out of the starting lineup?

Plus, we learn when Hunter Goodman’s name will be announced as an All-Star, James Wood announces his presence with authority, and we wish a Colorado baseball legend a Happy Birthday.

The Houston Astros have owned the Colorado Rockies for the past few seasons, even taking their wins to Mexico City in 2024. Thairo Estrada led the charge for the Rockies with a two-run homer that erased some early runs for the ‘Stros. Why is he playing better right now? And is he becoming a more valuable trade chip?

York Space Systems. The official jersey patch sponsor of the Colorado Rockies. What is this company and for how many years will you see their logo on the Rockies jersey? Will there be a different colored logo for the Nike City Connect uniforms?

A professional team in Colorado calls it quits while another rises from the ashes. How were the Northern Colorado Owlz mishandled? Could the Colorado Springs Sky Sox ever come back to affiliated Minor League Baseball?

Plus, remember the name Cristian Arguelles, mark your calendars for a special Coors Field event this fall and give credit to new Executive VP Walker Monfort.

Colorado avoided their 13th sweep with a comeback victory in Milwaukee that saw a lot of firsts. Which was the best: Warren Schaeffer getting ejected, Clint Hurdle managing the Rockies again or becoming the last team in MLB to win in extra innings?

Antonio Senzatela reaches a milestone on Saturday while the Rockies get shutout on one hit. When was the last time Colorado pitched a shutout? How has Justin Lawrence attached his name to history twice?

Plus, Kyle Karros homers (again), Orlando Arcia comes through in the clutch (again), Trea Turner nearly hits for the cycle (again) and more.

It was a good news, bad news kind of day for the Colorado Rockies on Friday in Milwaukee. The Good: Kyle Freeland activated from IL. Was his outing good though? The Bad: Hunter Goodman held out of his second consecutive game. What will the Rockies do while they wait for Goodman to return?

Walker Monfort was promoted to team vice president this week as Colorado continues to shuffle the front office. Is this move one that will impact the wins and loss of the organization? Are the optics worse than the actual appointment?

Plus, Isaac Collins continues to make the Rockies regretful, Jacob Misiorowski makes the Rockies regretful and Tyler Freeman makes the Rockies grateful.
