The Rockies Insider with Patrick Lyons – Details, episodes & analysis

Matt and Jackson Holliday took over Coors Field this weekend as the father-and-son duo returned to Denver for the first time since 2018. The two reminisced about the Rocktober run that led to the 2007 World Series.

Renee Dechert of Pitcher List, Just Baseball and Purple Row breaks down the Baltimore Orioles series. How close did Zach Eflin come to throwing a Perfect Game? Were the O’s - like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman - a little unimpressive? 

Plus, more franchise firsts from Colorado’s rookie bullpen, a funny misunderstanding with Drew Romo and a Michael Phelps sighting.

Jackson is only 20 years old and already making an impact with the Baltimore Orioles. It wasn't that long ago that he was playing Wiffleball with his father, Matt Holliday, at Coors Field during the magical run to Rocktober for the 2007 World Series.

The father and son duo speak about what it means to them to return to Denver while also sharing thoughts on Ethan Holliday, top high school prospect for the 2025 MLB Draft, and being raised in a Major League clubhouse.

Aaron Judge put himself on a 63-homer pace with two home runs against the Colorado Rockies at Yankee Stadium on Sunday. Judge - along with Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton - did something with New York that hadn’t happened since 1929 with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

Kevin Henry of Just Baseball helps examine the Rockies' share of bright spots during the series loss, namely the 9-2 win on Saturday thanks to a quartet of rookie pitchers. Bradley Blalock got his first big league win and Luis Peralta made his Major League debut.

Ethan Holliday would still be the top prospects for the 2025 MLB Draft and the Colorado Rockies have a strong connection to his family and the best odds of winning the draft lottery for the no. 1 overall pick. 

Tyler Paddor of Blake Street Banter discusses the Rockies' youth movement and taking a super early preview of the 2025 MLB Draft.

Plus, the Brent Mayne game, Jason Jennings’ debut and the debate over which shortstop will have a better career: Anthony Volpe of the New York Yankees or Ezequiel Tovar of the Colorado Rockies.

Aaron Judge hit his 49th home run to put him well above pace for another 60-homer season with the New York Yankees. Were he a member of the Colorado Rockies, he'd already be tied for the franchise record.

Kyle Freeland looked good in his second ever start at Yankee Stadium, but four hits were not enough. Jeff Criswell proved it's easier to pitch against the Yanks than most of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.

Tyler Paddor of Blake Street Banter digs into Luis Peralta, the newest relief pitcher added to the Rox 40-man roster, and the good problem with a farm system full of outfielders like Zac Veen, Yanquiel Fernandez and Charlie Condon.

Todd Helton joined the most elite fraternity in the world by being enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Johnny Bench welcomed The Toddfather last month with these exact words looking out onto Otsega Lake in upstate New York.

In this episode of the Rockies Insider, host Patrick Lyons touches on Colorado’s 6-1 loss to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday before shared audio of Helton on Saturday afternoon ahead of his speech before 47,000 hardcore fans at Coors Field.

Listen as Helton shares his thoughts about developing as both a player and teammate, what the experience was like as a member of the Class of 2024, and how the modern game can be difficult to understand. Plus, he offers opinions on current Rockies like Jordan Beck, Michael Toglia and Charlie Condon.

Would Helton like to see Charlie Blackmon’s no. 19 retired alongside him and Larry Walker? He answers this question and so many more.

Nolan Jones returned to the starting lineup and provided an impact with both bat and glove during the 3-1 win over the Nationals in Washington, D.C. Two rookies - RHP Angel Chivilli and C Drew Romo - recorded career firsts: first save and first base hit, respectively.

Have the Rockies definitively turned the roster over to the youth? Other than starting pitcher Austin Gomber (30 years old), the eight fielders were under the age of 30, including a trio of outfielders for the first time together: NoJo, Brenton Doyle and Jordan Beck.

Plus, minor League news and rumors, not to mention an interesting piece of memorabilia to add to anyone’s collection.

Plus, Stephen Rice of the Fresno Grizzlies offers more on prospects like Cole Carrigg, Kyle Karros and Jack Mahoney before previewing the three-game set against the Washington Nationals. (Get ready for a lot of stolen bases.)

The Colorado Rockies have six players in the most recent top 100 prospects list created by MLB Pipeline. Stephen Rice, the voice of the Low-A Fresno Grizzlies, has first-hand experience on the rise of the Rockies’ farm system.

Rice discusses the recent rehab assignment by Nolan Jones, a group of new youngster from the 2024 MLB Draft and the player he thinks will be the next Angel Chivilli: an overlooked arm that eventually debuted with the Rockies within two years of being in the California League.

Plus, why Robert Calaz is the best minor league prospect that no one is talking about enough right now and how he can become the next player to break into the top 100 in 2025.
