February 14, 2024 16:00 - 58 minutes

In 1993, the newly born Colorado Rockies were about to begin their first season in MLB, One of the very first moves they had made in the 1992 offseason was the hiring on their first manager in team history: Don Baylor.

Every Rockie Ever #21: Mike Hampton & Other SP Free Agent Busts

February 01, 2024 16:00 - 59 minutes

An inability to draw top-tier free agents to the thin air of Coors Field has been a struggle for the Rockies for decades. 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. Later in 2015, the team spent $5 million on Kyle Kendrick to eat innings, but it was one the worst pitching s...

Every Rockie Ever #20: The Super Bullpen

January 18, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour

Following the 2017 season, Jeff Bridich and the Colorado Rockies decided to spend $106 million dollars on the bullpen, signing Jake McGee, Bryan Shaw, and Wade Davis. Unfortunately for the Rockies, none of the players finished out their contract as ineffectiveness, injury, and other circumstances forced the Rockies to cut ties with each of them.

January 03, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour

There 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.

The players were meant to be less notable players who didn't do much of anything of significance or mainly spent one season in Colorado. Learn more abou...

Every Rockie Ever #18: Troy Tulowitzki

December 20, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour

Since his debut in 2006, Troy Tulowitzki quickly cemented himself as one of the best players in MLB of his generation and helped revolutionize what a shortstop could be and do at the MLB level. For years he dazzled fans with his incredible defensive prowess and imposing presence in the batters box. The brothers reflect on his career from his rookie days to his peak years, to the sadness of his trade to the Blue Jays and his fractured relationship with the Rockies. They also lament what could ...

Affected by Altitude Episode 92: All I want for Christmas is the Rockies to do something

December 18, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour

Twas 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. At least at the end we can have a little fun and give out...

December 06, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour

In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever Skyler and Dustin look back on the Rockies' brief history with players from Asia. While it's well known the team is quite involved in Latin America, there has been very little dabbling with players from the Asia market. Still, throughout their history, they have acquired several pitchers over 30 years. Unfortunately, most of them haven't had very successful careers in purple. The Rockies have seen players from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan suit up in purple...

November 16, 2023 16:00 - 52 minutes

In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever, Dustin and Skyler look back on the Rockies' careers of two key pitchers from the 2009 season. First, they look back at the historic season of Jason Marquis. Acquired from the Cubs, Marquis won 15 games, was an All-Star and was a model of success for how a pitcher could have an immediate impact on the team. Then, then look at the solid career of Jason Hammel after acquiring him from Tampa Bay. For three years Hammel was a rotation staple and workhorse ...

Then, they discuss the current World Series teams and how the Rockies could learn from them in a bid to get back to contention.

Affected by Altitude Episode 81: Coming Down the Mountain

October 02, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour

The 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...

September 25, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour

It's a tough episode this week as Evan and Skyler discuss the inevitability of a 100 loss season and just how crummy that feels. The Rockies are on a collision course with by far their worst finish in franchise history to celebrate 30 years of Colorado Rockies baseball, and there isn't anything anyone can do about it. There's a lot to unpack. Kyle Freeland, Peter Lambert, and Austin Gomber are all done for the season with injuries but thankfully Ryan Feltner has completed his comeback. The Ar...
