Rocky Mountain Rooftop: A Colorado Rockies podcast‪.‬ Rocky Mountain Rooftop

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!

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.
