Rockies avoid Ohtani no-hitter to end the Dodgers sweep while Kyle Freeland prepares for more Colorado history

What to watch in MLB Draft & Futures Game? Bullpen, road offense and recent success vs. Giants provides hope in San Fran

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

Which 10 Rockies are most likely to be dealt ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline? Is it sensible to be conservative?

Hunter Goodman’s injury derailing Home Run Derby announcement? Jordan Romano - best Rockies closer since Daniel Bard?

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

Mickey Moniak nearly cycles twice, Hunter Goodman joins Helton & Walker and Charlie Condon makes his case for Colorado

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

Hunter Goodman's 3 homer game puts him in clubs with Johnny Bench Larry Walker - Can he set the Rockies single-season record?

No one had a better weekend in Minneapolis than Hunter Goodman. A clutch three-run home run in the ninth on Friday was an appetizer for the main course on Saturday: three home runs. What franchise record did this performance break? Could he become the first Rockie with 50 dingers? Before anyone tries to badmouth Goodman, load up on stats that point to all the reasons why what he's been able to do this season and last are legit. How many more homers on the road has he hit this year than at Coors Field? And how outstanding has he and TJ Rumfield been in the eight inning or later? Plus, Colorado performing offensively on the road like 2007, the "No Quit" ethos of manager Warren Schaeffer and the potential for Gabriel Hughes to debut this week. 🎥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.
