20th and Blake: The Rockies Podcast

The Colorado Rockies saw another intriguing call-up this past week with Kyle Karros joining Warming Bernabel in the "must-watch" category while a reranking of prospects sees some fascinating movement down on the farm.

The Savannah Bananas brought their wonderfully silly brand of baseball to Coors Field, and plenty of silly takes, over the weekend. I've got some thoughts.

The Colorado Rockies made a couple of trades at the MLB trade deadline, adding four players to their top 30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline.

Mark and Drew break down the Colorado Rockies trade of Ryan McMahon and what else might happen at the MLB trade deadline. Plus more on the Rox rebuild.

I take a look at every member of the Colorado Rockies MLB roster to determine the pros and cons of moving them before the trade deadline.

We tend to focus on the first round of the MLB Draft but Colorado Rockies history shows it's the next few rounds that will tell the tale of the next few years.

The MLB All-Star Game was a smashing success, showcasing the wonders of the automated strike zone and the swing off! Plus, I react to the rest of the Colorado Rockies 2025 Draft.

The Colorado Rockies drafted Ethan Holliday. Mark and Drew debate whether or not he can be a part of a bright future alongside Charlie Condon despite the Rockies recent woes.

I take a deep dive look at the potential first-round pick for the Colorado Rockies who select fourth overall and could have the chance to take Ethan Holliday, Matt Holliday's son.

The Colorado Rockies farm system has seen a wave of promotions and intriguingly excellent performances over the last few weeks.

The Colorado Rockies promoted Walker Monfort to Executive Vice President and despite charges of nepotism and "more of the same" Mark Knudson and Drew Creasman see this as a golden opportunity.

If there is a silver lining to the historically terrible 2025 Colorado Rockies season it is that we are seeing more signs of change, none bigger than recent statements from Dick, and Charlie, Monfort.

The Colorado Rockies, despite a hilarious 10-1 win in Atlanta, are still on pace to be the worst MLB team ever and Mark Knudson has a theory on how to fix them that might not be popular but makes some sense.

The Colorado Rockies blew a 3-run lead to the San Francisco Giants in a fashion that is emblematic of their current state, their current curse, and their opportunities to learn from failure.

The Colorado Rockies have been historically terrible in 2025 and Miami has always been a house of horrors for them so of course they swept the Marlins in three games.

Mark Knudson and Drew Creasman discuss the Colorado Rockies 9-50 start and whether more boring veterans might have actually been good. Plus, the state of the farm system and front office, and a modernizing MLB.

The Colorado Rockies have been historically terrible in 2025 but even after an unlikely win over the New York Yankees, I can't help but see an emerging curse has been placed on the team.

There's good Colorado Rockies news! Kinda! It's a mess at the MLB level but most of the top prospects are performing well down on the farm.

The Colorado Rockies, and really all of us, can learn a lot from the journey of Jordan Beck. Plus, I take a look at some early potential trade candidates.

The Colorado Rockies had their 7th MLB debut last night and it was a microcosm of the rebuild that is happening that some still refuse to believe is real.

We react to the Colorado Rockies firing Bud Black. Was this mess his fault? Is GM Bill Schmidt next? And is a new team president the single best thing that could happen to this club?

The Colorado Rockies starting pitching rotation is largely in shambles. What can be done about this and are there reinforcements on the way?

The Colorado Rockies remain dreadful at 4-20 but at least the youth movement is in full swing with five players already making their MLB debuts.

The Colorado Rockies bullpen has been a mixed bag but is also showing signs of promise so far in 2025.

Colorado Rockies top prospects Chase Dollander got dinged up while Zach Agnos made his MLB debut and Zac Veen hit his first MLB homer in a weekend series against the Washington Nationals.

I break down 16 Colorado Rockies prospects who could or should be seen in MLB in 2025.

Zac Veen makes his MLB debut for the Colorado Rockies, Brenton Doyle gets hot at the plate, and Ryan Feltner deserves some credit for his recent pitching.

Mark Knudson and Drew Creasman break down the Nolan Jones trade, the Zac Veen news, a late Micky Moniak add, and the Colorado Rockies 2025 MLB season outlook.
