The Rockies Insider with Patrick Lyons

Injury bug bites Colorado at the worst time - Who's the latest to hit the Injured List? And who's the next man up?

After a solid month of April that nearly saw the club reach . 500, May has been brutal for the Colorado Rockies in every fashion. How awful has the starting pitching been? Who's the latest to go down to injury? How many consecutive games did the Rox fail to homer? Two-thirds (67%) of all home runs hit by Colorado have come from three players: Mickey Moniak (12), Hunter Goodman (11) and TJ Rumfield (7). Is there still a dinger drought to keep an eye on? Plus, Chad Stevens makes his Rockies debut, Brett Sullivan pitches again and the 2022 draft class takes a hit for Colorado. 🎥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]

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

Colorado had a chance to win their first series in May after taking Game 1 against the Texas Rangers, a club they've performed rather well against at Coors Field historically. Then came a 10-0 shellacking and a rough loss on Wednesday in the rubber match. And when was the last time the Rockies hit a home run? Tanner Gordon did his best job to eat innings during Tuesday's loss. Gordon received praise from manager Warren Schaeffer for doing what no one has done since 1989. What else did Gordon do for the first time since Colorado's inaugural season? Plus, potential starters on Thursday against Arizona, Nolan Arenado's all-time ranking in interleague play and Brett Sullivan (the catcher) has fun pitching. 🎥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]

How much will an Antonio Senzatela trade bring Colorado? With Jordan Beck on the IL, will Cole Carrigg get his shot?

The hottest commodity at this year's trade deadline may be Antonio Senzatela, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. The converted reliever is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $12 million this year. What does that lofty price tag mean for the Rockies return? And will we have to wait closer to the August 3rd deadline to see what Colorado gets back in a trade? Ethan Holliday continues to rake at Low-A Fresno, adding the first multi-homer game of his career. But will it be Cole Carrigg that prospect pundits begin to start paying attention to with Jordan Beck on the IL? Why is his case so much better for an MLB debut than Charlie Condon? Plus, the son of former GM Dan O'Dowd win California League Player of the Week, Colorado's outfield defense and TJ Rumfield makes a jaw-dropping catch at first base. 🎥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]

Sterlin Thompson makes MLB debut and history, Chase Dollander injury news and future changes to Rivalry Weekend

Sterlin Thompson is the latest prospect to join the Colorado Rockies hype train. The 31st overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft - which was given to the Rockies when Trevor Story decline a qualifying offer - has performed rather well the past two seasons in Triple-A. What history did he make on Friday night? The Rocky Mountain Showdown was a let down for Colorado who lost the series with Arizona and went back to a 100-loss pace. When we get expansion in the coming years, there are strong odds that these two teams do not meet during Rivalry Weekend. Who would the Rockies play then? Plus, Chase Dollander gets somewhat positive news, Blas Castaño makes his Rockies debut in style and Jake McCarthy exacts some revenge onto the Dbacks. 🎥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]

How serious is the Chase Dollander injury? Concerned about Ezequiel Tovar? Should you panic about either?

Chase Dollander exited Thursday's game in Pittsburgh during the second inning with what's been described as arm tightness. More information is on the way in coming days, but the notable drop in velocity has many holding their breath. What are the silver linings right now? Ezequiel Tovar is batting .199 with a .522 OPS. He's chasing pitches outside the strike zone more than any hitter in the league. How worried should we be? And could be as simple as giving him a day off? Plus, Erasmo Ramirez makes noise in the Triple-A rotation, Jake McCarthy heats up ahead of the Diamondbacks series and a critical period for Colorado is upon them. 🎥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]
