Purple Row is celebrating it's 20th Anniversary this season, and with no Rockies game scheduled for this afternoon, we figured it might be fun to open ourselves up for questions from Rockies fans here on Reddit!
So ask us anything! Please give us some time to provide answers, as our staff all have regular day jobs. If you have a question for a specific writer, we will do our best to track them down and get an answer.
Post-AMA Update:
Thank you so much to everyone who had questions for us! We will absolutely do this again sometime! If you still have questions, feel free to post them still and we will do our best to answer!

How many decades do you think it’ll take for the Rockies to win a World Series?
Any reason for optimism with Walker Monfort’s increased involvement, or should we expect more of the same?
How do you see the Rockies starting rotation looking in 2026?
How do you feel about our prospects
How….do you do it? How exhausting is it covering a losing franchise year in and year out?
Would you recommend adopting the Rockies as a second team for someone who moved here within the last few years?
Who else do you guys follow second to the Rox? Any fun teams you enjoy that play real MLB-caliber baseball?
Why haven’t the Rockies embraced or even discussed unorthodox team building strategies? e.g. Leaning super hard into power hitting and offensive output, investing in young local talent to develop pitching skills specifically for Coors, scouting for blazing speed to cover our massive outfield
What’s your favorite non-game related thing to do at Coors Field? What’s your favorite food item to get?
Favorite beer you’ve had at a ballgame? I had an Atwater Blonde in Detroit last year and it was pretty good.
how do you cope with being a fan of such a terrible team?
Is it ever appropriate to do the wave at Coors field?
Aside from the purple row seats, which sections do you like best at coors field
No question. Just showing my respect. I often wonder how ya’ll do it. I get it tho, I tune in for every game, it’s torture, but I like it. I can’t explain. Go Rockies!
Is the lackluster analytics department real or myth? And don’t think the “best” analytics actually matters?
Do you see Warren Shaeffer standing a good chance to get the full time manager spot or will the focus be elsewhere? I think he deserves a shot on a short leash. While the team has been bad still, they were marginally worse before he stepped in. Seems to believe in the young guys too.
When do you see the Rockies being willing to start spending money on free agents again? I’m glad they’ve started shifting to letting the prospects play, but at some point you have to go out and get proven guys if you want to turn the corner.
How long do you believe the lock out be over upcoming player agreement ?
What do you think happens with Kris Bryant?
Do you have any idea what the Rockies will do with the manager position for next season, and what do you hope they will do.
