Welcome to the new-look Purple Row! As you’ve likely seen, the site got a makeover this week (and we’re all still getting used to some of the new features, so thank you for your patience!). You will still be receiving the same excellent content from Purple Row, as well as new features such as The Feed. We still encourage you to interact as you have in the comments, but The Feed is another place for us to drop quick Rockies/MLB news.
Speaking of the Rockies, they had a tough week to say the least. After a wild weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, they were demolished by the first-place Toronto Blue Jays. And by demolished, I mean they gave up 63 hits and 45 runs over the three-game set. Additionally, they only scored six runs on 20 hits. This weekend, they’re playing a depleted Arizona Diamondbacks team who is coming off a deadline fire sale after struggling to play more than .500 baseball this season after a World Series run in 2023 and a 2024 season that saw them finish 16 games above .500 but lose out on a postseason spot on a three-way tiebreaker.
The Rockies and Diamondbacks, regardless of anything else, have always played each other weirdly, so this weekend likely won’t be much different. It’ll just be a matter of who comes out victorious in the series.
That said, here’s what our writers were up to this week during our site migration:
