Purple Dinosaur Podcast

We'll level with you straight out: this episode sucks. There, now that we've gotten that out of the way...
Episode 10 is here! You guys clamored so much on Twitter, we figured we'd let you have it. Be forewarned, it took many hours in the PDP labs to make this sound even remotely listenable, thanks to atrocious Atlanta hotel internet. But baseball talk you want, and baseball talk you shall HAVE.
This week, we go guest-free and talk lots of roster stuff. Mostly: pump the brakes with all this Eddie Butler/Jon Gray speculation. We tell you why. Plus, the joys of playing meaningful games in May (that's sad, isn't it?) and a promise for a better show next week. Join us, won't you?!

It's the biggest edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast ever, and it's coming to you on PDP 42, the Jackie Robinson Edition.
We're taking a trip to the Rockies' glory days of our childhood with interviews with the man to throw the first pitch in franchise history David Nied, four-time All-Star Dante Bichette, and arguably the franchise's greatest player Larry Walker.
We'll continue our early season run through the Rockies' Minor League affiliates by checking in with Keaton Gillogly, radio voice of a prospect-laden Modesto Nuts team.
Plus music this week from Denver band Rossonian. PDP 42 comin' atcha!

The Rockies won a baseball game Thursday night in which their bullpen blew a lead of eight (8) runs with three (3) innings to play. Generally, that approach is not good, but it worked last night. While the walk-off celebration was fun for everyone who wasn't Giants broadcaster Jon Miller, did it unmask a soft underbelly in this Colorado bullpen that's been so strong this year? And, if so, should you be worried? And, if you should be worried, what can the Rockies do to address the situation upon the returns of Jon Gray and Tyler Anderson and potentially Chad Bettis? And just how many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Rly makes u think.
Denver sports radio host Renaud Notaro joins the show this week to discuss what it's like being a Denver sports radio personality who actually knows and loves and understands and talks about baseball. Beyond his thoughts on the 2017 Rockies, Renaud also tells us what it's like the be the older brother of one of the greatest standup comedians on the planet and how he intends to save his adorable young nephews from being Dodgers fans while growing up in Los Angeles.
Plus Raimel Tapia has finally arrived. In his success, the Rockies have been sitting franchise luminary Carlos Gonzalez. How long does that last on both sides, and what does it mean for the rest of CarGo's time in Denver?
It's all on this week's edition of the PDP! Punch yourself in the face with it!

Anthony's in Los Angeles. Tyler's in New York. Istanbul is somewhere in this general area. We're taking the PDP nationwide for the Jhoulys Chacin Memorial Edition.
This week, Fox Sports 1 analyst C.J. Nitkowski joins the show to talk about a range of topics including the Rockies (obviously), the oddity of inexperience in recent Major League managerial hirings, applying foreign substances to baseballs and more.
Plus, we'll honor David Letterman (since he obviously was craving our approval of his magnificent career), talk Jon Gray, Tyler Matzek, Justin Morneau, the Rockies' rising walk rates and a whole boatload on top of it on this week's show.

Well...the Rockies started the season 15-10 and have gone 15-30 since, so they're pretty bad. On this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast, we talk about some baseball things and why this team is so putrid and why there (Sadly) isn't a lot of promise in the immediate future to keep people involved or interested.
But hey, the Avs are in the Stanley Cup Final, and 80% of your #AskPDP questions were Avs-related in some form. So that's cool!
All that and more is on the latest edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Go Avs go!
