Episode 223 | May 13, 2025: Where Is The Bottom?

05/13/25 • 125 min

For the first time in a year and a half, the Purple Dinosaur Podcast returns. The reason, of course, is the Colorado Rockies' firing of manager Bud Black, the winningest -- and losingest -- skipper in club history.
The 2025 Rockies are currently on pace to lose 135 games in a sport that plays 162 in a season. They have what appears to be one of the worst rosters ever assembled under the auspices of being a "major league" sports team. They can't hit nor pitch. Oh, and they can't field. But as anyone who's writing up a story about Black's firing is quick to point out: they're still getting good attendance.
On this lengthy PDP, we dive into how this franchise got to this point and if there's any reason to believe that firing Black will suggest any sort of meaningful change to profesisonal sports' most bizarre franchise and its many strange modus operandi.
It's a two-hour edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Hook it to your veins.

Episode 222 | December 20, 2023: Holiday Commercial Roast 2023

Let's face it: there ain't much to discuss with the local Colorado baseball team. They don't care about being relevant or good, so why should you?
With that, one of our most (only?) anticipated shows of the year has returned for 2023. It's time to roast some bad TV commercials. This year, we have strong entries from the cell phone carrier market, a prescription medication spot that makes you want to rip your ears off, and surprisingly few contributions from the folks at car companies.
It's the 2023 Holiday Commercial Roast Edition of the PDP! Deck the halls with it!
