I write a newsletter about the #Rockies and also mostly tweet about them

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@SleeperRockies It’s actually pronounced HOUSE-ton Street

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@ClintHurdle13 @GAtkins32 Remember it like it was yesterday!

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@mike_petriello Very dismayed to see Troy Johnston in the same position

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@blakestbanter The benefits of driving up pitch counts for its own sake are pretty negligible. The strategy should be to swing at pitches you can do damage on — if that’s the first pitch, great (although I doubt all these first pitches are middle-middle meatballs)

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@podoffame @baseball_ref Rockies mentioned 🙌🏻

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@blakestbanter @TrewarthaShawn Excellent read, been looking for exactly this analysis

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@OakTreeStatus Yeah, that’s true. It’s more a criticism of People On Here taking these signings as evidence that the FO has some coherent idea of what “works.”

And purely as a fan, I’d rather watch McCade Brown struggle and maybe figure something out than watch Jeremy Guthrie 2.0

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

Everyone seems to be tripping over themselves to praise the new front office, but idk that running back the “sign as many pitch-to-contact starters as possible” strategy is smart and it’s certainly not some bold new strategy for success at Coors

[MLB Trade Rumors @mlbtraderumors]

Rockies To Sign Jose Quintana https://t.co/NNlGTaLZCo

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

Like I think you’re significantly more likely to end up with a Jeremy Guthrie or Kyle Kendrick in this situation than you are an Aaron Cook or Jorge De La Rosa

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

Can’t believe the Rockies org is embracing Cancel culture like this

[Hartford Yard Goats @GoYardGoats]

#BREAKING The Yard Goats will have a new Manager in 2026: former Major-Leaguer Robinson Cancel. Cancel was promoted from Class-A Spokane, where he led the team to the Northwest League Championship in 2024. The Puerto Rico native will be introduced to the media in a press conference tomorrow at Dunkin’ Park.

@blakestbanter Surprised to see Feltner that low — he basically put up the same fWAR in six starts last year, and 2.5 over 30 starts in 2024.

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@blakestbanter Antonio Senzatela for Bobby Witt Jr and cash

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@FoolishBB 29 is young?

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@blakestbanter Close enough, welcome back Garrett Hampson

OKC fans chanting “FREE THROW MERCHANT” at Jokic

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

Wait, this was Rickey’s LAST stolen base? I remember watching this happen live as a kid and thinking “Wow, guess he’s still got it”

[Stirrups Now! @uniformcritic]

The last base Rickey Henderson ever stole

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

@SleeperMLB @Castellani2014 @MarinerMuse Joe Koshansky

[Matt Patston @MattPatston]

My brother in Christ why did you not think like this when you were GM of the Rockies

[MLB Network @MLBNetwork]

What Dan O'Dowd thinks the Yankees should do:

1. Sign Christian Walker
2. Trade for Cody Bellinger
3. Trade for Nolan Arenado
4. Sign Jurickson Profar
