Affected by Altitude Episode 117: Wake Kris Bryant Up When September Ends
This week Evan and Skyler have a much needed extended venting conversation about Kris Bryant and his time with the Colorado Rockies. The former superstar is aging like a fine glass of milk to the detriment of himself, the team, and the fanbase. Something's got to give because at this point it's just getting ridiculous. After getting that off their chests, it's time to wheel into a much more positive topic of conversation: Ezequiel Tovar, Ryan McMahon, and the other Rockies players deserving of an All-Star nod. The lads wrap things up talking about Adael Amador's first week in the bigs and his role moving forward.

Every Rockie Ever #28: A History of First Round Picks
The MLB Draft is just a month away, so Skyler and Dustin decided to look back on the Rockies history of first round draft picks and talk about some of those that cracked the big league roster, fizzled out in the minors, or became busts. From the fated Greg Reynolds pick to the brief career of Choo Freeman, the brothers cover it all and discuss how much the Rockies have failed with their top picks.

Affected by Altitude Episode 116: Open the Amador
This week, Evan and Skyler break down up-to-date injuries and playing time issues affecting the Rockies as they have been skidding over the last week and change. Kris Bryant is back on the injured list, Nolan Jones is still on rehab, and Jake Cave is for some unknown reason playing every day. Meanwhile, Michael Toglia is back in with the big league club and looking to stick around after a very strong series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Oh, and while we were recording it got announced (but not confirmed) that Rockies top prospect Adael Amador was being called up for his MLB debut in place of an injured Brendan Rodgers. The bullpen carousel also continues as the Rockies shuffle through pitchers and veteran journeymen relievers without a true shutdown guy.

Affected by Altitude Episode 115: A Rotation on the Mend
This week, Skyler returns to the show after his week away much like how the multitude of injured Colorado Rockies starting pitchers are moving ever closer to their returns. At the very least the other members of the rotation like Cal Quantrill, Austin Gomber, and even Dakota Hudson have held down the fort in strong fashion whilst their comrades heal up and work on rehab. Outfielder Nolan Jones is also close to returning which has us wondering... what exactly do the Rockies want from a guy like Elehuris Montero or Sean Bouchard? What are their plans? They need to start making decisions soon. Skyler and Evan also make decisions by naming their Pitcher and Player of the Month for May!

Every Rockie Ever #27: Greg Norton, Wilin Rosario, Jonathan Herrera
We all have those players that we love who didn't necessarily turn the needle in the direction of contention but were still quality ball players in their own respect. In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever, Skyler and Dustin reflect on three players that they enjoyed that were cult classic heroes to them. Dustin first expands on his admiration of the pinch-hitting extraordinaire Greg Norton of the early 2000s. Skyler then delves into the fearsome bat of the Baby Bull Wilin Rosario but laments his bad defense at catcher. Then the brothers reflect on a mutual favorite, Jonathan Herrera a.k.a. Little Johnny Sparkplug

Affected by Altitude Episode 114: Do we call a moving truck or an ambulance? (feat. Patrick Lyons)
Evan is joined by friend of the show Patrick Lyons to discuss the flurry of roster moves the Colorado Rockies have made over the last handful of days. Pitchers being called up, sent down, and going all around as the bullpen seeks reinforcements to cure their struggles. The Rockies have also suffered several key injuries, the worst of which is top prospect outfielder Jordan Beck's broken hand that will sideline him for at least a month. Meanwhile, there are more moves to be made, trades to be considered, and value to be discussed. The lads cap things off with a discussion on having fun, being weird, and playing with purpose.
