Is the opener strategy working? Tanner Gordon does something for the first time since 1989 and Troy Johnston rakes

Another One! Hunter Goodman's 3-homer game makes history and begs question: more likely he hits 50 or gets traded?

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? Plus, Gabriel Hughes impresses in his Coors Field debut, TJ Rumfield's case for NL Rookie of the Year improves again and what the Rockies record in rubber matches means for the team right now. 🎥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 All-Star moment, 2028 Olympics vs. Midsummer Classic and ideas for improving MLB's All-Star Week

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

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.
