An idea for the Rockies: First, please hire a GM before the GM meetings. Second, bring in a free agent starting pitcher. Third, specifically Zac Gallen. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
Thursday Rockpile: The Rockies should sign Zac Gallen

Thanks @spokaneindians.bsky.social for the repost! We are excited about Krajewski at PurpleRow and felt privileged to tell her story!
"My biggest accomplishment is finishing out my first full year and still loving it ... I had an awesome group [in Spokane]."

Learn more about Allison Krajewski, who made history in 2025 as the first female coach in Rockies history. #GoSpo

There’s not a lot to be happy about with the Colorado Rockies right now, but at least there’s progress in normalizing women being hired and promoted within the organization. The same thing is happening around MLB. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...

Amazing piece by my friend @maclikesstuff.bsky.social. In a world w/ misinformation & shrinking attention spans, we need more reading and thinking before reacting. I’m going to miss Mac at Purple Row. This is a powerful way to end his time in our awesome community. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...

Love that Schaeffer could be baseball’s Ted Lasso. There’s no team that needs it more. Great work Sam!
"You say impossible, but all I hear is 'I'm possible.'" -Ted Lasso

Warren Schaeffer was tasked with the impossible, but instead of letting the whole Rockies ship sink, he managed to keep it slightly above water (like Jack Sparrow's).

And that's a testament to who he is as a human and as a leader.
“Play Free” — have the Rockies found their Ted Lasso in Warren Schaeffer?
“The Schaeffer Way” has been radiating through the Rockies clubhouse this season

Oh my is right
Kyle Freeland has just been ejected.

He has yet to get an out.

So it’s time for an unplanned bullpen game.

And they are still going at it.

Oh my.
