However, in 2001 the team took a gamble and spent big on a pair of pitchers. Mike Hampton was signed to a 8-year deal while Denny Neagle signed a 5-year deal. Despite the effort to bolster the rotation, both pitchers failed to deliver on their respective contracts.

Every Rockie Ever #20: The Super Bullpen

January 03, 2024 16:00 - 1 hourThere are nearly 700 players to ever suit up for the Colorado Rockies, and unfortunately, not all of them garner a full episode on their own.

December 18, 2023 16:00 - 1 hourTwas the week before Christmas, and all through the house, Skyler and Evan desperately hope that the Colorado Rockies do, well... anything at all this offseason. While the other NL West teams are making moves or figuring out a trajectory, the Rockies have been very quiet. Even the Kansas City Royals are showing free agents a vision and making moves to improve after their 106 loss campaign, but the Rockies seem to have no vision at all.

Affected by Altitude Episode 81: Coming Down the Mountain
October 02, 2023 15:00 - 1 hourThe 2023 Colorado Rockies season has finally, perhaps mercifully, come to an end. The Rockies put up a franchise-worst 59-103 season and there are a lot of problems that need to be addressed from ownership all the way down to the players and coaching staff. While there are definitely bright spots to address from this year, this week we are focusing on the negatives. 103 losses is rock bottom for a struggling franchise that hasn't put up a winning campaign since 2018 and lacks both focus and i...
