The Rockies Insider with Patrick Lyons

The thing we'll remember most this weekend from the three-game set between the St. Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies is not the baseball so much as the behavior of umpire Doug Eddings on Friday night. Was the crooked cap correction the only infraction for Eddings? And what did he have to say about Hunter Goodman? TJ Rumfield and Cole Carrigg did something special on Friday night: hitting a triple and a homer in the same game as rookies. Did Carrigg's inside-the-park home run set a new franchise high? Is Rumfield approaching rarified air? Plus, why re-signing Jordan Romano for 2027 makes so much sense, Ryan Feltner rebounds after a virus in Atlanta and why being traditional (even in pro sports) can be taken too far. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colorado got a pair of much needed wins against the Baltimore Orioles to snap their 10-game home losing streak heading into their weekend series against the St. Louis Cardinals. When was the last time Cards-Rox didn't feature Nolan Arenado? Can TJ Rumfield boost his Rookie of the Year resume against NL ROY favorite JJ Wetherholt? Charlie Condon has been better than good in Triple-A this season and proven that his prodigious power at Georgia will play in the pro ball. Why won't the Rockies be giving him his MLB debut this month? Is the front office being a bit short-sighted? Plus, Gabriel Hughes narrowly misses history, Brett Sullivan gets his much-deserved flowers and Arte Moreno sells the Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim) to Stan Kroenke, owner of the Nuggets, Avalance and Rapids. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The home losing streak reached a franchise record in the worst possible way Monday night with Colton Cowser's walk-off home run robbery. How badly did Colorado need that hit with runners in scoring position? And how historic was that incredible web gem? Tanner Gordon may not be a pitcher who strikes fear into opposing lineups, but he's been more than effective for the Rockies. Why does he deserve a place among the top five starters next season? What does he bring to Colorado that is so valuable as a starting pitcher? Plus, the possibility of Jackson Holliday returning to Coors Field as a Rockie next season, Warren Schaeffer comments on the Cole Carrigg benching and the two players promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque for the September 1 roster expansion. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Swept once against this season by Atlanta, the Colorado Rockies are creeping closer and closer toward losing 100 games for the fourth consecutive season. How close were all three of these games at Truist Park? What stat underlines Colorado's difficulties the most right now? Cole Carrigg made a valiant effort to hold onto the Rockies razor thin 1-0 lead in the eighth before coming up short. A defensive miscue by Jordan Beck in left field allowed Atlanta to score the go-ahead run and steal a win from Colorado. What was Carrigg's response to fans squawking at him in Atlanta? How did manager Warren Schaeffer respond to this inappropriate gesture? Plus, Jurickson Profar's team defeats Kris Bryant's team in Williamsport, Mason Adams looks promising once again and Zach Agnos makes a great case for becoming a starting pitcher in 2027. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hunter Goodman wasted no time to reach 35 home runs and move into first place in Rockies history for most homers by a primary catcher. How much better is Colorado when he homers? And who was the last Rockie to reach 36+ dingers? TJ Rumfield drew four walks and notched a base hit in his only at-bat on Thursday. Not bad for a rookie who hasn't received much praise in the NL Rookie of the Year conversation. Who was the last player in purple to record four walks? Who was the last to do it on the road 17 years ago? Plus, Colorado's strong play on the road, a possible opportunity to waive Kris Bryant and Michael Lorenzen turns up with another big league squad.  🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After all the celebrating on Sunday for Larry Walker's statue, the reality of the game struck Rockies fans hard as Kyle Karros went back on the concussion IL. Could the 24-year-old third baseman be done for the season? And is Kyle Freeland done for the season too? Colorado is on the verge of having a pair of right-handed pitchers named Adams who were drafted in the 13th round of the 2022 MLB Draft. Which one is homegrown and which was acquired in a trade earlier this month? Who is the reliever and who is the starter?

Another beautiful Colorado morning turned up 300 rabid Rockies fans awaiting to see the first ever player statue at Coors Field. What were the highlights of the ceremony? What did Larry Walker say about his iconic pose? And what jersey is being worn on the statue? Colorado followed up an impressive 5-4 road trip with one of the worst homestands in franchise history. How bad has it started to get for the Rockies? Are they back to a 100-loss pace? Will they return to Denver on August 31 pacing worse that 100 losses?

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?

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?

Team President Walker Monfort sent a letter last Friday to season ticket holders explaining the vision for a better future and promising continued progress beyond 2026. Does Colorado think 2028 is the first year they'll contend for the postseason? What suggests an increase in ticket prices? A pair of prospects in A-ball have boost the farm system in a major way: OF Cristian Arguelles and 2B/OF Roldy Brito.

Jake McCarthy did everything he could to put the Colorado Rockies on his back this weekend in St. Louis. Unfortunately, the pitching did not do its part, a tale as old as time. How many players have recorded four hits with two home runs, three RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases? (Even fewer than you'd think.) Surely it was a great thing to not trade him, right? Zac Veen has done everything possible to get the attention of the Rockies front office and big league coaching staff. Some of that attention has not been good. What did the 24-year-old do to put himself in a league with only Nick Kurtz and Shohei Ohtani? Will Colorado finally give him a chance in the Majors?

You still mulling over the Rockies trade deadline decisions? Colorado lost three in a row to the Tampa Bay Rays before heading out on the road for their longest road trip of the season. Will the next nine games determine if they need to be concerned about 100 losses again? Atlanta and Texas appear to be the biggest losers of the trade deadline. Could Colorado have been one of the winners based upon what Boston was willing to pay for 14 months of Adley Rutschman? Did the Red Sox not want to have to buy back Brennan Bernardino?

What did POBO Paul DePodesta say regarding the offers for Hunter Goodman, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak? Colorado added two Top 30 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline.

What did Tomoyuki Sugano say about his time with the Rockies and what could it mean for the future of the franchise?  Hunter Goodman had another multi-homer game to put himself alongside - and, in one case, above - some all-time greats.

Days from the MLB trade deadline, the Colorado Rockies will have a lot of suitors trying to acquire their best talent. With the leverage falling on their side, what teams should Paul DePodesta and Josh Byrnes make sure they negotiation with? Why is it still not a bad idea to make a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers? Colorado lost two in San Diego, but they witnessed Gabriel Hughes pitch like a boss once again. How good - historically speaking - has he been in his first five games as a big leaguer?

Colorado has a crowded outfield right now. And that doesn't even include a trio of youngsters at Triple-A Albuquerque. Brenton Doyle, on the road to recovery from a left groin strain, is playing well with ABQ. When he returns on Friday, will GM Josh Byrnes have traded away at least one outfielder to make space for the two-time Gold Glove Award winner? Could Doyle himself be traded? A total of eight prospects have made their MLB debut with Warren Schaeffer's club this season. While they may not reach the heights of 13 debuts from a year ago, at least three more are set to take center stage in the Majors for the first time. Who could make the jump directly from Double-A Hartford? And why might the number creep close to 13 in the second half?

The Milwaukee Brewers ace was damn near perfect - and perfect with all strikeouts, nearly - before he ran into the fresh-faced freshman known as Cole Carrigg.

Trade rumors continue to grow for a Rockies team that has let other clubs know who's on the market. Which seven players have the strongest odds of being dealt according to Bob Nightengale?

For the first time in Colorado Rockies history, a player has hit three home runs in the same game twice in the same season. Hunter Goodman: you are that damn good. What's next on the Goodman historical trajectory? And which of his teammates thinks he'll hit 50 home runs this year? As Goodman continues to be successful for the second consecutive season and quiet doubters along the way, his price ahead of the trade deadline will only grow stronger. Would dealing him be a mistake? Or should this new front office and all their early success be trusted to make such a substantial trade?

The second half of the 2026 season is here and the Colorado Rockies have a lot of unfinished business for the final 2.5 months. How important is avoiding 100 losses actually? Is the success of Ezequiel Tovar the most important thing?  The 2027 MLB schedule has arrived and Colorado knows exactly where it will be next year (assuming we have a normal season). Where will the Rockies start on Opening Day? Who's their home opener against? Could they have three fireworks nights in a row leading towards the 4th of July?

Blink and you missed the action during the 2026 MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park. The American League shutout the National League as both sides combined to strike out 27 times, more than any other nine-inning affair in the game's history. What were the other problems with this year's Midsummer Classic? Hunter Goodman had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment as well. You may have also him behind the plate with his red, white and blue catcher's gear that looked a lot like something a Phillies backstop would wear. What cool event was Goodman able to participate in on Tuesday night? Plus, debating the merits of allowing players to play in the 2028 Summer Olympics over the All-Star Game, Jordan Walker wins a really good Home Run Derby in enemy territory and The Sandlot tribute steals the show. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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)?

Colorado has lost 18 of 19 games at Oracle Park dating back to 2023. And yet there's some hope that the Rockies might steal a few wins against the Giants this weekend. What's been so promising about the bullpen and the offense on the road?  Saturday is the MLB Draft and Colorado has the 10th overall pick plus the first pick in each subsequent round of the 20 round extravaganza. Will Paul DePodesta and company simply aim for the best player available? Will they avoid selecting more outfielders early? Are high school pitchers completely off the table? Plus, Hunter Goodman and the Home Run Derby continue to play coy with one another, and Roldy Brito's ascent as one of the top prospects in the organization. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are less than a month away from the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline on August 3 and the Colorado Rockies have a lot to offer up this year. Is there a possibility a less-is-more strategy will be employed? Are the Rockies more concerned about avoiding 100 losses? Gabriel Hughes made a great impression in his first big league start Wednesday night in Los Angeles. How many Dodgers did he set down in a row? Is his success critical for the 2027 rotation?

The Colorado Rockies have been a lot more fun to watch and a lot more competitive on the field, regardless of who they're playing. Why are we seeing the best of the Rockies right now against the likes of the Los Angeles Dodgers? Will this be sustainable after the All-Star break? Hunter Goodman has been kept out of the starting lineup the final two games of the Dodgers series after a play at the plate Monday night that banged up his wrist. Is this the only holdup for why he hasn't been announced as a participant in the Home Run Derby? Plus, Jordan Romano elevates Colorado's bullpen, a minor leaguer gets suspended for PEDs and Cole Carrigg has his moment in the spotlight.  🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After losing the first two games against the Miami Marlins, Colorado managed to split a series with the hottest team in MLB. Mickey Moniak drove the offense for the second day in a room and finished one hit shy of the cycle for the second consecutive game. How good has he been since coming back from the IL? Is his trade stock higher than ever? Hunter Goodman continues to rake and break records. Will he and his 27 home runs participate in the Home Run Derby on July 13? Could a second Rockies player join him in Philadelphia for the All-Star Game? Plus, Charlie Condon continues to dominate in Triple-A, Gabriel Hughes gets promoted and Zac Veen continues to get passed in line by other outfielders.  🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Five runs in the seventh and eight innings capped yet another comeback for the Colorado Rockies as they won their second consecutive series at home and eight overall this season. What excellent managerial decisions did Warren Schaeffer make on Wednesday? Who contributed more: TJ Rumfield, Cole Carrigg or Jake McCarthy? Charlie Condon continues to make noise in Triple-A. Does his success increase the likelihood of a McCarthy or Mickey Moniak trade?  Plus, a Denver native gets traded, Kyle Karros makes a smart play and Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post calls it a career. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a game the Colorado Rockies seemingly gave away with a pair of base running blunders in the 8th inning, Jake McCarthy is the hero once again thank to a bases loaded walk-off triple against Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman. How incredibly rare was this occurrence? Did it matter that Jarren Duran misplayed this ball in left field? Benny Montgomery was the 8th overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft by Colorado. A high school outfielder with plus-speed and defensive gifts, a hitch in his swing and a series of injuries derailed his path to the Majors. Though retired, is there a chance he comes back to give it another try like Riley Pint? Plus, the rough history of 1st Rd Picks for the Rockies since 2015, the return of Mickey Moniak and rehab assignments for a pair of Colorado outfielders.  🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colorado couldn't finish the sweep on Sunday, but their late-inning heroics were reminiscent of the greatest Father's Day finish in franchise history: Nolan Arenado's walk-off home run to complete the cycle. Who contributed to the comeback? And why was Michael Lorenzen's performance even more promising than his final line? Saturday's game pitting Paul Skenes against Tomoyuki Sugano began in historic fashion with dueling leadoff homers. Not to be outdone, it ended with a wild ruling decided by umpires. What was Pirates' manager Don Kelly's reaction? How did Jake McCarthy's hustle double put him into a league of his own? Plus, Kyle Freeland reaches another impressive milestone, TJ Rumfield makes his case for NL Rookie of the Year and Gold Glove Award, and Dinger hangs out with his dad. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sterlin Thompson went off on Wednesday night in Chicago to become the first player in over 30 years to hit his first two career homers at Wrigley Field. If Cole Carrigg, who recorded his first outfield assist during the 8-6 loss, is holding down center field, is there enough room to keep Sterlin Thompson around? How much harder does it become when Mickey Moniak returns? Charlie Condon is heating up in a major way down in Albuquerque. How outstanding has he been offensively in recent weeks? Will the new front office behave like the old one when it comes to tight rosters and young players? Plus, why Sean Sullivan kept pitching after allowing a 7-run inning, Kyle Karros and Hunter Goodman hit clutch homers late and PCA homers yet again.  🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
