Purple Dinosaur Podcast - Episode 211 | August 5, 2021: A Deadline For Nothing
play

08/06/21 • 58 min

The MLB trade deadline came and went, and aside from reacquiring two players they've previously had in the system, your Colorado Rockies did...literally nothing to improve. We dissect how Bill Schmidt's inaction was so eminently predictable and what it means going forward for a team that doesn't seem to be serious about hiring any help from the outside nor about building a sustainable system for winning in Colorado.
Plus, it's a two-fer on the PDP's Commercial Roast of the Week which you should really be excited about. All that and much more is on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Ask someone to the Olympic Days school dance with it!

Purple Dinosaur Podcast - Episode 213 | November 11, 2021: So Bill Schmidt, Huh?
play

11/12/21 • 74 min

In the least surprising development in franchise history, the Rockies just handed the general manager job to the next office down the line by tapping longtime scouting vice president Bill Schmidt to construct and operate a major league roster, something he's never done before. We don't know, man! Maybe it'll work! Probably not! But we discuss that news anyway.
At the honoring of Larry Walker and his Hall of Fame induction at Coors Field, Rockies owner Dick Monfort wasn't introduced to the crowd, seemingly deliberately. We discuss what that move says about him and the franchise.
Plus, the Rockies didn't put out a qualifying offer to Jon Gray which means they now risk losing one of the most successful pitchers in franchise history for zero return. Seems bad! We dive in.
And we're taking your #AskPDP queries on everything from the Jokić brothers to terrible holiday commercials to which historical figure we'd hire to run the Rockies. All that and more is on this week's episode of the PDP! Get into it!

Over a month into the 2022 Major League Baseball season, the Colorado Rockies look like what most of us expected: sadly mediocre. Unfortunately, they're also not very interesting, which sucks. With Kris Bryant out, the Rockies' offense has slumped to extremely boring status, and Colorado's pitching staff has not held out, to say the least. What does it mean when Bryant makes his return as soon as next week?
Plus, we discuss how little is coming through the Rockies' prospect pipeline, so...really not much in this episode is too optimistic or exciting!
It's the 218th edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Spin it in a centrifuge and inject it into your injured limbs!

Purple Dinosaur Podcast - Episode 190 | May 22, 2020: A Team Full of Todd Heltons
play

05/22/20 • 73 min

On this week's episode of the PDP, Anthony and Tyler dive into the latest news surrounding a possible return of big league baseball to a stadium possibly near you? But without you or us or anyone else in attendance? But still that sounds good? If money issues don't derail the whole thing? And you don't for some reason sympathize with the owners over the players? Because the owners agreed to something two months ago and are now trying to back out of it? Or not? It's all kinds of complicated! And two guys without legal expertise or financial savvy will attempt to parse it all for you!
Plus, we field your #AskPDP questions on everything from how the Rockies let Roberto Ramos go to Korea to what a team of 25 Todd Heltons would have done in his prime.
All that and more is on this week's episode of the PDP. Just because your state may be lifting stay-at-home orders doesn't mean you should listen to it in a crowded place! Keep being smart!

06/26/14 • 59 min

Purple Dinosaur Podcast - Episode 10 | May 24, 2014: Atlanta Hotel Internet Capers
play

05/24/14 • 30 min

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?!

Purple Dinosaur Podcast - Episode 107 | June 16, 2017: Walk-Off Wins Con Mucho Swagger
play

06/16/17 • 74 min

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!

05/22/15 • 75 min

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.

Purple Dinosaur Podcast - Episode 219 | June 24, 2022: Fleeting Glimpses of Positivity
play

06/25/22 • 48 min

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!
