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

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 the jackpot with franchise record 23 runs as Hunter Goodman and Willi Castro each slug two homers

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.

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.

Will we see Hunter Goodman reach 40 home runs for the first time since Nolan Arenado? Should he be an All-Star again?

Hunter Goodman has already matched his first-half total for home runs last season when he clubbed 17 in 85 games. Now at 17 homers in just the Colorado Rockies first 66 games, what pace is he on for the 162-game season? And can he become the first Rockies with 40+ since Nolan Arenado in 2019? With 12 Rockies currently on the injured list, Colorado is hurting to get back their hurt players. Who's back to doing baseball activities? And who has yet to pick up a baseball or swing a bat? Plus, Goodman sets a franchise record by homering and stealing a base in the same game twice and previewing the three-game series with the Chicago Cubs. 🎥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.

Kyle Freeland at no. 1 all-time for the Rockies, Jacob Misiorowski sets Statcast record and plunks Tyler Freeman in head

Colorado was three outs away from only the ninth one-hitter (or better) in franchise history on Friday night. Then, the bullpen imploded like never before. How close were the Rockies to winning during the other losses to the Brewers? And what did Jacob Misiorowski - The Miz - do in his Coors Field debut? Kyle Freeland had already set a franchise record for most starts in team history. On Sunday, he added most innings pitched in purple to his resume. Who did Freeland mention during his post-game scrum? Which record is next up for him to topple? Plus, Kyle Karros and Sterlin Thompson deliver clutch ABs, Antonio Senzatela gets jinxed on social media and Hunter Goodman homers twice.  🎥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.
