Purple Dinosaur Podcast

Seriously, how did you people let us get to 50 episodes of this show? It's true! We made it! This week's show is guest-free and all banter, just the way you love (read: probably hate) it. We'll talk about some concerning steps backward for Eddie Butler and Tyler Matzek but some steps in the right direction for other things Rockies-related. It's all coming your way on the Jamie Moyer (he's old and so are we) Memorial Edition of the PDP!

Short-season baseball has arrived as the Grand Junciton Rockies and Boise Hawks open their season with a wealth of talent at the Rockies' lower minor league levels. We'll chat with Grand Junction general manager Tim Ray on Episode 49 of the PDP. We'll preview the Rockies and Hawks and their outlook for 2015 as well as discuss Colorado's recent draft signings. Plus a discussion of Jon Gray's impending promotion which will be ridiculous if it doesn't happen for Sunday.

Denver-area guy Tom Ley from Deadspin joins the Jason Hirsh Memorial Edition of the PDP. We'll chat about what it's like to be a Rockies fan working at a national media enterprise plus Coors Field memories, and more. With the Rockies hitting the road to Miami and Houston, could Jon Gray's debut come on this trip? We discuss in-depth and also review what Eddie Butler's demotion to Albuquerque means. Plus, for the first time this season, we take your questions for #AskPDP. All that and more on Episode 48!

The first 2015 edition of the PDP is here! Anthony and Tyler are prospect-heavy and guest-free this week, going over MLB.com, Baseball Prospectus, and Keith Law's prospect rankings ahead of the 2015 season. The guys also talk about Tyler Anderson's latest injury news, the continuation of a quiet offseason, and (as always) more!

It's the Thanksgiving edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast, and we're talking with an actual real baseball player! Rockies prospect Dan Winkler joins the 31st episode of the PDP. We'll talk about his rehab from Tommy John surgery and look ahead to 2015. Baseball Prospectus sandwich/pie guru Craig Goldstein joins the show to talk about...we don't know, a lot of stuff that isn't really baseball-related. Pies and Peter Gammons, mostly.

The first big player transaction news of the offseason is here: Michael Cuddyer has rejected the Rockies' qualifying offer to head to the Mets, giving Colorado a supplemental first round pick in 2015. What does it mean for the offseason and next year? We discuss that, CarGo/Tulo trade rumors, and take your questions on the Kevin Ritz Memorial Edition of the PDP!

The last time the PDP was in your eardrums, we were talking about how nothing had changed. Now: PANDEMONIUM. We're talking lots of Jeff Bridich and administration change at 20th and Blake on the 29th edition of the show. Plus a ton of non sequiturs as Anthony and Tyler record in the same place for the first time. It's really quite annoying.

After a brief hiatus, the PDP is back with our 2014 season postmortem. Here's a hint: not much good. We have a chat with Rockies starter Tyler Matzek about his breakthrough campaign at the big league level and his hopes for 2015. Plus, we talk with Albuquerque Isotopes writer Chris Jackson about the New Mexico side's reaction to the Rockies' new Triple-A affiliation. A look back at the final weeks of 2014 and a look ahead at what figures to be an uninspiring offseason, based on tradition, is up this week in the final regular season edition of the PDP.

A weekly podcast is no place for breaking news, but we've got it anyway. The Rockies' Triple-A affiliation is headed to Albuquerque, and Double-A is moving to Connecticut. Anthony and Tyler break down what the means for fans and the organization and Simpsons references in the future. Asheville Tourists radio voice Doug Maurer joins the show to discuss the Tourists' 2014 South Atlantic League title plus Dahl, McMahon, Tapia, and more. And the guys even find some time to sprinkle in talk about the big league club. Amazing but true!
