Meanwhile, hitting coach Hensley Meulens is working to install a new philosophy that will help the Rockies cut down on strikeouts and Ryan McMahon is quietly having an excellent spring. Finally, we take a look at how we think the final 26-man roster will shake out for Opening Day and what other changes the team might make. So much happened after we recorded this episode that a supplemental episode will be going up tomorrow! Keep your eyes out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 1993, the newly born Colorado Rockies were about to begin their first season in MLB, One of the very first moves they had made in the 1992 offseason was the hiring on their first manager in team history: Don Baylor. For the first six years of their existence, Baylor captained the ship helping lay a foundation for Rockies baseball that has persevered over 30 years. Skyler and Dustin look back on not only his time as the manager, but his legacy as a player, a leader, and most importantly as a man. He was known as a giant among men, commanding respect everywhere he went. He was a baseball lifer until he passed away from cancer in 2017. The boys do their best to honor and remember one of the most important non-player Rockies in franchise history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

An inability to draw top-tier free agents to the thin air of Coors Field has been a struggle for the Rockies for decades. However, in 2001 the team took a gamble and spent big on a pair of pitchers. Mike Hampton was signed to a 8-year deal while Denny Neagle signed a 5-year deal. Despite the effort to bolster the rotation, both pitchers failed to deliver on their respective contracts. Later in 2015, the team spent $5 million on Kyle Kendrick to eat innings, but it was one the worst pitching seasons in team history. These three pitchers are examples that the Rockies use to justify not spending big on starting pitching, opting for homegrown and bargain-bin talent. Dustin and Skyler try to look back on these signings and why they ended up being busts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Skyler and Evan sit down after some time has passed to discuss how they feel and how Colorado Rockies faithful feel now that Todd Helton is a Hall of Famer. Meanwhile, Rockies Fest has returned to Colorado after a four year hiatus and Evan discusses his experiences there including player meetings, autographs, and panels. It was nice to see fans getting happy and excited for their Rockies after a tough 2023.

Following the 2017 season, Jeff Bridich and the Colorado Rockies decided to spend $106 million dollars on the bullpen, signing Jake McGee, Bryan Shaw, and Wade Davis. Unfortunately for the Rockies, none of the players finished out their contract as ineffectiveness, injury, and other circumstances forced the Rockies to cut ties with each of them. Skyler and Dustin do their best to reflect on the initial hopeful reactions to the signings and lament that none of the deals made the most sense with the money that was offered. McGee had solid years prior to the new contract, Davis led the NL in saves in 2018, and Shaw ate innings. The Super Bullpen was shortlived and one of the biggest blunders by the Rockies in recent memory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Skyler and Evan discuss what's next in the offseason plans for the Colorado Rockies. Rumor is they want to add a left-handed outfielder to their bench, and there are a few players that fit the bill, including a recent World Series Champion. Meanwhile, the discussion leads to the state of the bullpen with the official departure of Brent Suter and his velociraptor impressions. Finally, it's time to take a look at arbitration and payroll before looking into the far off future of 2033. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There are nearly 700 players to ever suit up for the Colorado Rockies, and unfortunately, not all of them garner a full episode on their own. To give them some recognition for better or for worse, Skyler and Dustin decided to play a round of Guess the Rockie. Dustin selected four hitters and Skyler picked four pitchers for the other to guess. The players were meant to be less notable players who didn't do much of anything of significance or mainly spent one season in Colorado. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Evan and Skyler say goodbye to 2023 by discussing how the Colorado Rockies and Kris Bryant stack up against Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos for the future. Why? Because it's good for engagement! Meanwhile, Hall of Fame voting is in full swing and it's just as infuriating and nonsensical as ever.

Since his debut in 2006, Troy Tulowitzki quickly cemented himself as one of the best players in MLB of his generation and helped revolutionize what a shortstop could be and do at the MLB level. For years he dazzled fans with his incredible defensive prowess and imposing presence in the batters box. The brothers reflect on his career from his rookie days to his peak years, to the sadness of his trade to the Blue Jays and his fractured relationship with the Rockies. They also lament what could have been if he had been able to stay healthy and how a Hall of Fame career was derailed and betrayed by his own body. Learn more about your ad choices.

Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the house, Skyler and Evan desperately hope that the Colorado Rockies do, well... anything at all this offseason. While the other NL West teams are making moves or figuring out a trajectory, the Rockies have been very quiet. Even the Kansas City Royals are showing free agents a vision and making moves to improve after their 106 loss campaign, but the Rockies seem to have no vision at all. At least at the end we can have a little fun and give out some Christmas gifts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Skyler and Evan break down the ramifications of Shohei Ohtani's new 10 year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Meanwhile, the winter meetings are over and we discuss what the Rockies did for the week and the Rule 5 draft, as well as the press conferences from GM Bill Schmidt and manager Bud Black.

In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever Skyler and Dustin look back on the Rockies' brief history with players from Asia. While it's well known the team is quite involved in Latin America, there has been very little dabbling with players from the Asia market. Still, throughout their history, they have acquired several pitchers over 30 years. Unfortunately, most of them haven't had very successful careers in purple. The Rockies have seen players from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan suit up in purple. Some have set records, some were flashes in the pan, but all played a small role on the mound.

In this week's new episode of Affected by Altitude, Skyler is once again joined by friend of the show and host of the Locked on Rockies podcast, Paul Holden.

In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever, Dustin and Skyler look back on the Rockies' careers of two key pitchers from the 2009 season. First, they look back at the historic season of Jason Marquis. Acquired from the Cubs, Marquis won 15 games, was an All-Star and was a model of success for how a pitcher could have an immediate impact on the team. Then, then look at the solid career of Jason Hammel after acquiring him from Tampa Bay. For three years Hammel was a rotation staple and workhorse backend rotation piece before moving on to have a career-highs elsewhere. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Every Rockie Ever is a brand new show under the Rocky Mountain Rooftop banner where brothers Skyler and Dustin Timmins sit down and talk about every player to suit up for the Colorado Rockies to share memories and the legacy of their careers. It's World Series time, which means it's worth looking back at the 2007 Rockies team. In this episode Skyler and Dustin reflect on the brief Rockies careers of Kaz Matsui and Willy Taveras and the roles they played in 2007, remembering iconic home runs and catches in the postseason and how speedy they were on the bases. They then look back on the career of Manny Corpas, a reliever that was crucial in 2007 but settled into just a solid reliever for the Rockies. In 30 years of existence, the Colorado Rockies have seen nearly 700+ players and coaches suit up in purple. From the greats of Todd Helton and Larry Walker to obscure ones like Kent Bottenfield and Tim Christman.

This week, Skyler and Evan discuss the Gold Glove Finalists on the Colorado Rockies: Ryan McMahon, Ezequiel Tovar, and Brenton Doyle. Plus, Nolan Jones didn't qualify due to innings, but if he did he'd be a finalist. Meanwhile, the Rockies are making moves by outrighting players off the 40-man roster to prepare for the offseason and clear out the 60-day IL. Are they making the right calls? Finally, we take it easy in the third segment as we discuss what kind of end-of-season awards we'll be handing out later this offseason. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Evan and Skyler are joined by Kenneth Weber to discuss the positives of the 2023 Colorado Rockies season. We start with the bullpen, which went above and beyond to carry the load for a very thin rotation and the lineup had some standout performances. General Manager Bill Schmidt also made his mark in his second full year as GM, and the Rockies farm system is filled with players that give us hope for the future even if it's a little bottom heavy.

The 2023 Colorado Rockies season has finally, perhaps mercifully, come to an end. The Rockies put up a franchise-worst 59-103 season and there are a lot of problems that need to be addressed from ownership all the way down to the players and coaching staff. While there are definitely bright spots to address from this year, this week we are focusing on the negatives. 103 losses is rock bottom for a struggling franchise that hasn't put up a winning campaign since 2018 and lacks both focus and identity. We also discuss the Charlie Blackmon extension, what it means for the franchise, and name our position player, pitcher, and MVP for the month of September. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this new episode, Dustin pulls out his 1993 Inaugural Team set of baseball cards he received at Mile High Stadium when he was a kid. The brothers quickly go through the deck (be sure to check out the video version on YouTube!) briefly touching on some of the Rockies that had just that first-year stint with the Rockies, played a little bit, or prospects who were just available for a picture during spring training. They also do plenty of setting up to identify players worthy of their own episodes in the future, and find a couple of Almost Every Rockie Evers in the deck of cards!

It's a tough episode this week as Evan and Skyler discuss the inevitability of a 100 loss season and just how crummy that feels. The Rockies are on a collision course with by far their worst finish in franchise history to celebrate 30 years of Colorado Rockies baseball, and there isn't anything anyone can do about it. There's a lot to unpack. Kyle Freeland, Peter Lambert, and Austin Gomber are all done for the season with injuries but thankfully Ryan Feltner has completed his comeback. The Arizona Fall League is also on the horizon and will have plenty of Rockies representation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this special "Batman Day" recording (I guess?) Skyler and Evan discuss the return of Kreezy Breezy beautiful Kris Bryant, who has seen success since returning from the IL and taking reps at first base. How can Bryant contribute to the team next season and what does it mean for guys like Hunter Goodman and the Colorado Rockies bench? Meanwhile, the tattered rotation is going to have openings next season due to injuries. Should the Rockies consider bringing back the veteran Chase Anderson?

Every Rockie Ever is a brand new show under the Rocky Mountain Rooftop banner where brothers Skyler and Dustin Timmins sit down and talk about every player to suit up for the Colorado Rockies to share memories and the legacy of their careers. In this new episode, Skyler and Dustin look back on the career of one of the best pitchers in franchise history. Acquired in 2008, Jorge De La Rosa went on to be one of the most successful pitchers in Colorado history. He leads the team in multiple pitching categories while also conquering the challenges of pitching at Coors Field. For years he was essentially the Ace of the Rockies and yet is still overlooked and sometimes forgotten just how good he was. In 30 years of existence, the Colorado Rockies have seen nearly 700+ players and coaches suit up in purple.

This week, Skyler and Evan discuss the departure (and return to the San Diego Padres) of outfielder Jurickson Profar. Profar's departure facilitated the call up of Colorado Rockies top prospect Hunter Goodman, who had been setting Triple-A ablaze. Sean Bouchard has also returned from his injury and is on the major league roster once more. Decisions will have to be made about what this team looks like next year, as a 100-loss season is all but certain. The Rockies are on a runaway train straight towards the worst season in franchise history. Will ownership do anything to right the ship? Does 100 losses even mean anything for this team?

Additionally, they talk about the mutual interest between Charlie Blackmon and the Rockies for 2024 as well as the promotion of Evan Justice to the bullpen.

This week, Skyler and Evan discuss the important return of one Charles Cobb "Chuck Nazty" Blackmon to the Colorado Rockies. Blackmon's return appears to be a rallying cry for the offense and his strong veteran presence is meaningful for the incredibly young group of position players. Should the Rockies consider bring Chuck back for another ride on a one-year deal? Meanwhile, rookies like Brenton Doyle and Nolan Jones are changing the game for the Rockies when it comes to outfield defense. They're not only the two best outfielders on the team, they're two of the best outfielders in the league. Finally, Jurickson Profar is... a problem for this team. What's to be done about it?

Best known for their late-game situational performances, John Vander Wal and Brian Fuentes represent two Rockies that you could always depend on in a key moment. This week, Skyler and Dustin are joined by Patrick Lyons of DNVR Rockies to recap their careers and what made them so near and dear to his heart. Patrick also shares a plethora of other random facts about the Rockies that he has gained while covering the team. Be sure to follow him on social media and find him writing articles at thednvr.com In 30 years of existence, the Colorado Rockies have seen nearly 700+ players and coaches suit up in purple. From the greats of Todd Helton and Larry Walker to obscure ones like Kent Bottenfield and Tim Christman. Join brothers Skyler and Dustin Timmins as they endeavor to shine a light on Every Rockie Ever.
