Another series win as Rockies sink Paul Skenes with the help of Jake McCarthy's historic game - Who's the new RP and 2B?

Another series win as Rockies sink Paul Skenes with the help of Jake McCarthy's historic game - Who's the new RP and 2B?

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/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Not enough room for both Cole Carrigg and Sterlin Thompson in Colorado's outfield? Which Rockies lead All-Star Game voting?

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/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Cole Carrigg & TJ Rumfield shine vs. Cubs while Chase Dollander's injury looks bad - Why 2029 is the year he becomes an ace

Colorado has been competitive in both games at Wrigley Field so far in this three-game series with the Chicago Cubs. In both games, the Rockies received go-ahead home runs from rookies Cole Carrigg and TJ Rumfield. What new club did Carrigg join with his third home run in seven games? And why is Rumfield a strong candidate to be a Gold Glove Award finalist? Chase Dollander appears headed for Tommy John surgery. If that happens, it's safe to say he will not be traded for the next couple of season. Why will 2029 be the earliest we could see him ascend to becoming an ace? Plus, why Coors Field is technically older than Wrigley Field, Blas Castaño and Jaden Hill do a rare thing and Pete Crow-Armstrong does an extremely rare thing (before getting picked off). 🎥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/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Vegas, Baby! Rockies hit jackpot with franchise record 23 runs as Goodman and Castro each slug 2 HR

The Colorado Rockies scored more runs in one game on Sunday than any other game in the club's 34 seasons of professional baseball. A whopping 23 runs and 24 hits, one shy of tying a franchise record, sank the Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas A's to help the Rox avoid a three-game sweep. Why was the ball flying? And what did manager Warren Schaeffer have to say about the environment? Hunter Goodman is Colorado's All-Star this year. Period. End of discussion. With four weeks remaining until the Midsummer Classic in Philadelphia, how many more homers can he add to his 20 first-half dingers? Might there be room for a second All-Star? Plus, Sean Sullivan and Eiberson Castellano debut, Cole Carrigg continues to impress and previewing the starters for the three-game series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.  🎥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/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Rockies rookie crush Cubs as Colorado as Cole Carrigg makes MLB debut - Will we see Kris Bryant in Las Vegas?

Cole Carrigg made his long-awaited MLB debut and made it a memorable at that during a Rockies win on Tuesday. He followed it up with a two-hit performance on Thursday with his first big league home run. Who is his closest friend on the big league roster? Will he play any shortstop with Colorado? We've got Rockies-Athletics in Las Vegas this season in what could be the highest scoring series of the season. Will we actually see Kris Bryant come out of hibernation? Why might Saturday be the highest scoring game of the weekend? Plus, Cubs fans don't exactly take over Coors Field, Sterlin Thompson's walk-off winner and TJ Rumfield's incredibly steep uphill battled to earn a place on the 2026 NL All-Star 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/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
