Advertise on podcast: Rox Pile Rockies Report

Colorado's GM Bill Schmidt said this weekend that the Rockies' goal is to get back to .500. But can they actually get there? We look at each series moving forward until the All-Star break and whether it's likely or not. We also discuss the Rockies roster crunch, especially with Kris Bryant likely returning this weekend in Minnesota.  Getting back to .500 is GM Bill Schmidt's immediate goal by Thomas Harding (MLB.com) The one historical team that could give the Rockies hope by Noah Yingling Rockies highlights: Yonathan Daza’s spectacular catch (video) by Kevin Henry See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rockies are reeling and reeling at home. There's a lot of blame to go around but, as they say, "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten."  The Rockies have had that with their offense for much of the past five years and it has continued to be a problem this year. Now, will they make the philosophical and player changes to accomplish it? 8 Albuquerque Isotopes players you may not know but should 8 playoff contenders that could use outfielder Randal Grichuk 3 teams that could use José Iglesias Bryan Shaw on the competition of returning to face the Colorado Rockies The Rockies need to start “cutting bait” Terry Francona and Daniel Bard reunite, reminisce at Coors Field (Call To The Pen)     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brendan Rodgers was just named the NL Player of the Week for his play last week, so we talk about how he has dug himself out of the hole he was entering May. However, not much else is going well with the Colorado Rockies. We talk about Kevin Larson's article on how Germán Márquez could be tipping his pitches and how the defense has also really hurt the pitching staff as well. We also talk about the City Connect uniforms and a hot take involving one of the Rockies' other uniforms (and an MLB uniform that every team has). Is Germán Márquez tipping pitches?

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the recent bullpen implosion by the Colorado Rockies in Pittsburgh and the bullpen, in general. We also discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of the team through the 25 percent point of 2022, which was reached during the team's last series in Pittsburgh, and we talk about how the team's downslide really could be the series that the team really looks back on if they decide to be sellers at the deadline or just miss the playoffs by a few games. 3 strengths of the Colorado Rockies at the 25 percent mark of 2022 by Noah Yingling 3 weaknesses of the Colorado Rockies at the 25 percent mark by Noah Yingling   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the New York Mets coming to Denver to wrap up Colorado's long homestand. It could be significantly impacted by snow (because snow on May 20 and 21 is the textbook definition of "that's Colorado") and we talk about how the schedule and the Rockies' rotation could be impacted. We also talk about the series with the Giants and how the Rockies were much better on defense and with the walks on Wednesday to break their long losing streak against them and we also talk about some overall MLB stuff, like the lack of offense and the state of catchers in the sport right now as well.
