Rocky Mountain Rooftop: A Colorado Rockies podcast.

With less than a week until the 2023 regular season begins, Evan is joined by Mario and Kenneth to discuss the improved Rockies farm system and the pitchers of the future within it. Meanwhile, the final roster is beginning to take shape. What will the Opening Day 26-man roster look like for the Colorado Rockies, and how do our hosts rate the position groups?

With Opening Day later this week, hosts from Fans First Sports Network’s NL West teams gather together to gas up their own division, talk some trash about each other’s favorite teams, but also preview and assess the goings on with the Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Rockies, and Diamondbacks.  Come get to know hosts from the Dodgers podcast (Three Inning Save), Rockies podcast (Rocky Mountain Rooftop), G...

This week, Skyler and Evan introduce the podcast's new home on Rocky Mountain Rooftop as part of the Fans First Sports Network. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies have signed Jurickson Profar to a one year deal with the expectation he starts in left field and bats leadoff. What does this mean for the team? The World Baseball Classic is also beginning to reach a climax and we discuss Rockies playing i...

This week, Skyler and Evan are joined by Kenneth Weber to discuss the injuries of Brendan Rodgers and Lucas Gilbreath. The Colorado Rockies have signed Mike Moustakas to a minor league deal as they look to determine how to fill the gap left by Rodgers, and have signed LHP Brad Hand for the bullpen. Meanwhile, is the battle for the utility position between Cole Tucker and Harold Castro overlooking...

This week, Skyler and Evan are ready for Spring Training... but it's a shame the Colorado Rockies might not even be on TV by the end of it with WBD announcing their intention to get out of the RSN market. At least the Rockies are playing baseball as we break down the first game of the spring. Meanwhile, rule changes have arrived in Major League Baseball for better of for worse, and there are some...

This week Skyler and Evan provide more details about the future of the podcast before diving into some news. Colorado Rockies skipper Bud Black has been extended through the 2024 season and Kyle Freeland is playing for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic (while Germán Márquez has left Team Venezuela due to injury). Meanwhile, the Rockies have done shockingly little to hype up the 30th Anniversa...

This week, Skyler and Evan are joined by Mario DeGenz as they discuss the future of the show after funding cuts and Mac stepping away to focus on other projects. After biting the bullet, it's time to discuss how Todd Helton was again snubbed -- just barely -- from the Hall of Fame with 72.2% of the vote. Meanwhile, Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort keeps finding ways to put his foot in his mouth...

In this week's extremely spooky episode, Mac, Skyler, and Evan discuss last minute Colorado Rockies Halloween costumes. After a week off, Mac explains his Player of the Month choices for September and October in Ezequiel Tovar and Justin Lawrence. From there we dive into nominations for hardware. The Rockies have two Gold Glove and Silver Slugger nominees apiece. Who are they and do they have a ch...

This week, Evan, Skyler, and Mac discuss the biggest news of the young offseason for the Colorado Rockies: hitting coach Dave Magadan is gone. What does this mean for the future of the Rockies and who should come in to instill a new hitting philosophy with a struggling offense? Stu Cole has also been moved. The longtime third base coach has been reassigned to a minor league role. With one face lea...

The 2022 season has mercifully come to an end for the Colorado Rockies, and Skyler and Evan are here with a postmortem on a frustrating and difficult season. The record was bad, changes need to be made, and Kyle Freeland--now a veteran leader--has publicly called for change in the organization. On the bright side, the Rockies have less-than-zero odds at the top overall draft pick. We also catch up...

This week, Skyler, Evan, and Mac prepare for the end of the season, and several Colorado Rockies players have already reached the end of theirs. Charlie Blackmon, Connor Joe, and Carlos Estévez are done for the year on the IL. Meanwhile, we break down Bill Schmidt's baffling but not unexpected comments on the Rockies' 2022 performance. You can also learn what the Rockies and Dragon Ball Z have in...

This week, Evan, Mac, and Skyler revel in the fact that Tovar Time has finally arrived for fans of the Colorado Rockies. Tovar joins a group of young rookies starting to get frequent playing time and he's perhaps the most exciting. The Rockies also called up some pitching prospects in Noah Davis and Gavin Hollowell. How will they do in their first taste of the big leagues after jumping straight up...

This week, Evan, Mac, and Skyler discuss how the Colorado Rockies are finally letting the kids play. Elehuris Montero, Sean Bouchard, Michael Toglia, Brian Serven, and Alan Trejo are all rookies getting regular playing time in the waning days of the 2022 season. It certainly makes meaningless September baseball a lot more watchable. They also discuss the injury to lefty reliever Lucas Gilbreath an...

With a mediocre-to-bad Colorado Rockies team very likely to lose 90+ games this season, Evan, Skyler, and Mac can at least discuss the positives in a breakout season for Brendan Rodgers at second base and Ryan McMahon improving in the home stretch. Meanwhile, we say bye bye to Bob Stephenson, who has been designated for assignment after a rough 2022 campaign. We wrap things up with another round o...

We're in the dog days of summer and the Colorado Rockies are, well... not good. Evan, Skyler, and Mac discuss the slumping and very injured Colorado Rockies. When you're late in the season and very clearly not competing, what do you do when players are injured and you need to do something to make the team interesting? Meanwhile, the Rockies offense has been hitting a stretch of peak badness in the...

This week, Skyler, Evan, and Mac discuss how Elehuris Montero is finally getting regular playing time for the big league club and it's paying dividends as he performs well for the Colorado Rockies. Meanwhile, Wynton Bernard is at long last getting his emotional call up to the show and Rockies prospects are getting promoted up the ranks. On the negative side of things, Alex Colomé has struggled imm...

This week, Skyler, Evan, and Mac discuss Daniel Bard's extension before having an extended conversation about the Colorado Rockies and their inaction at the deadline. This team is frustrating, listless, and seems to lack much of a plan or identity for either right now or for the future. By doing nothing at all for the 2022 trade deadline, the Rockies seem determined to kick the can down the road t...

Justin Wick (@justwick) and Kenneth Weber (@KDub1988) show some love to Wynton Bernard, outfielder for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes and the Pacific Coast League Player of the Month for July. Bernard, a 31-year-old journeyman through the minors, has yet to play in the big leagues and is not currently on the Rockies’ 40-man roster. His dominant performance in Triple-A cannot be denied, and the...

This week, Skyler, Evan, and Mac discuss the strong July for catcher Elias Díaz and starting pitcher Germán Márquez, both of whom needed the turnarounds they're showing. We also ask the questions "what do you do when your team is getting blown out, and what do you do when your team is out of contention?" Meanwhile, the trade deadline looms. Why are the Colorado Rockies so gun-shy when it comes to...

Justin Wick (@justwick) and Kenneth Weber (@KDub1988) cover all 20 rounds of the 2022 MLB Draft through Colorado eyes; topics include the Rockies selecting a first-round pitcher for the first time since 2019 (and doing so under slot value), a positional state of the union on updated organizational depth, how the club navigated bonus pool money and more. Draft subtopics also feature the outfield de...

This week, Mac, Skyler, and Evan discuss the somewhat lackluster 2022 All-Star Weekend festivities that took place in Los Angeles as we head into the second half of the season. What are the predictions and expectations for the remainder of the year? We also talk the MLB Draft, how we think the Rockies did, and who our favorite picks are. Meanwhile, drama is brewing in our nation's capital as Juan...

Reunited and it feels so good! Mac, Skyler, and Evan are together again at last for another episode of Affected by Altitude! This week, Elehuris Montero has mercifully been sent back down to Triple-A Albuquerque to get regular at bats after wasting away on the Rockies bench for a month. Colton Welker has been designated for assignment and claimed by the San Francisco Giants... How will this come b...

This week, Mac has returned to us! ...But now Skyler is gone. Mac and Evan finish off the June Player of the Month ratings, Kris Bryant has finally uncorked the power in his bat, and Daniel Bard keeps going strong as the Rockies closer. Meanwhile, José Ureña made his return to the bigs in a Colorado Rockies uniform. He performed admirably in a spot start for the injured Antonio Senzatela, but the...

Justin Wick (@justwick) and Kenneth Weber (@KDub1988) break down a full 26-man roster out of top Rockies prospects based on June performance. They also discuss the incoming wave of prospects that Colorado might pursue in the MLB Draft this month; the Rockies hold the 10th, 31st and 38th selections, and the full first round could be particularly heavy on position players. Learn more about your ad c...

This week, we're back after recording a mysterious "lost episode" because Evan got some variety of plague and couldn't edit last week. Skyler and Evan are here with a two man show to break down the return of Kris Bryant and what the Rockies need to see from him now that he's back. Meanwhile, the roster is as log-jammed as ever and it's costing top prospect Elehuris Montero valuable playing time. I...
