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

Fresh off the end of the Colorado Rockies playing in beautiful Mexico City, Skyler and Evan are ready to engage in a much needed vent session. The Rockies are bad and it's showing in every part of play from the top to the bottom. The floundering offense is particularly a sore subject and outside of a few exceptions the problems are widespread through the roster. What is there to be done? What can be done? The season may be lost but I don't think most of us expected it to be this bad. We finish up by exploring roster moves, injuries, and discussing the potential ascension of Jordan Beck to the big league roster.

This week Skyler and Evan discuss the injuries and illnesses sweeping through the clubhouse as Kris Bryant, Daniel Bard, and Kyle Freeland have all had status updates and half the team got sick during the roadtrip.

Skyler and Evan record on Monday morning after a busy weekend to discuss the state of the Colorado Rockies. The rotation is starting to round into better form but there is still much to be desired from the staff. Ryan Feltner stands out as the best of the bunch with the highest potential for the season. Meanwhile, slumping Rockies like Nolan Jones and Brendan Rodgers are starting to find their stride while guys like Brenton Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar are showing improvement from 2023 at the plate. We round things out with a trip to the minors, where outside of Albuquerque the Rockies' affiliates are off to a great start with the Spokane Indians rotation really impressing the fans.

In 2005, Clint Barmes etched his name forever in the annals of Rockies history and the hearts of many fans. An Opening Day walk-off home run highlighted the incredible start to a promising career. Unfortunately, a broken collar bone in 2005 from a freak injury derailed his career and hindered him from reaching the potential that he always showed. Still, he was a true professional and played the game hard, which endured him to fans wherever he went.
