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

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.

TJ Rumfield wins NL Rookie of the Month Award and All-Star ballots go live - Who could start in Philly?

TJ Rumfield has been one of the brightest spots for the 2026 Colorado Rockies. This week, he became only the seventh Rockie to win the award since it was first created back in 2001. How many of the six that came before him deserved better in the end of year ROY voting? Colorado made an interesting choice with the positions they placed some of their players on the All-Star Game ballot. Why is Troy Johnston listed as the DH? And why would a great game on Saturday for Hunter Goodman make him the first Rockie to make it to Phase 2 in All-Star Game voting? Plus, Jackson Cox becomes a pitcher worth monitoring, Zac Veen dominates in May with little opportunity for promotion and Michael Lorenzen continues to struggle. 🎥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.

Jo Adell's impression of Jose Canseco helps Rockies win another series - IL news on Doyle, Dollander and Herrera

Don't look now, but the Colorado Rockies have just won their second series in a row. Sure, it may be against the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Angels, but a year ago the Rox were nowhere near this successful. When did Colorado earn their 23rd win in 2025? And what crazy play allowed Colorado to win on Tuesday night? Injuries have really hampered the club as of late. The worst news came regarding rookie Welinton Herrera: a week after making his Major League debut, Herrera was diagnosed with a torn UCL and will miss the rest of 2026. Is there more promising news regarding Brenton Doyle and Chase Dollander? Plus, Jo Adell does his best impression of Jose Canseco, Jake McCarthy and Hunter Goodman stay hot and TJ Shook makes his big league debut. 🎥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.

Ethan Holliday done for 2026, Paul DePodesta searches for next TJ Rumfield and Troy Johnston's trade value

The Colorado Rockies are in desperate need for a superstar or two. TJ Rumfield, day-to-day with right shoulder inflammation, was making a case for NL Rookie of the Year. Just a year ago, he was blocked in the New York Yankees organization and stuck in Triple-A. Could new President of Baseball Operations find more players like this in other orgs? One player whose future as a superstar is on hold is Ethan Holliday. The 19-year-old selected 4th overall last year is done for the remainder of the 2026 season with a stress fracture in his left foot. Has he gone under the knife yet? And could we see him pop up in the Arizona Fall League this October? Plus, Troy Johnston's value to contending clubs at this year's trade deadline, the Los Angeles Angels postseason drought and the general dysfunction with the Halos. 🎥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 win series, but get embarrassed by Giants during debut of Jonah Cox - Plus, the Ezequiel Tovar Game!

Ezequiel Tovar had himself a game for the ages on Friday night to help the Colorado Rockies snap a five-game losing streak and a home run drought in Denver the likes of which we haven't seen very much. Two home runs - including a walk-off - to go along with a steal of home plate. How often have we seen that kind of performance in MLB? Ryan Feltner twirled an absolute gem in his return from the IL on Saturday night. How important is his return to the starting rotation? Is he back to the form that had him as one of the best pitchers during the second half of 2024? Plus, the status of TJ Rumfield, a Colorado native makes his MLB debut at Coors Field and previewing the Los Angeles Angels series. 🎥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.
