Purple Dinosaur Podcast

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!

It's September, the Rockies are out of contention for, y'know, anything, and yet guys like Kyle Parker still aren't getting regular at-bats. So...what? The guys discuss what the Rockies' rotation and lineup could look like by Opening Day 2015 on this week's show plus a discussion of the Minor League Baseball championship series prospects for the Double-A Tulsa Drillers and Class A Asheville Tourists.

The Minor League Baseball regular season is over, and we've got a postmortem on one of the most head-scratching elements of the Rockies' organizational campaign in Episode 25. Modesto Nuts radio guy Keaton Gillogly joins the show to discuss the Nuts' 97-loss season (in 140 games). We talk lots o' prospects and MiLB on this week's show, discussing Jon Gray's end to 2014, previewing the playoffs for two affiliates, and more. Plus, we'll discuss roster expansion and why the Rockies don't seem to be trying to really get many (or any) new faces involved.

There was a bizarre event Tuesday night in the Pioneer League, and we'll talk about it on Episode 24 of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Then, it will be irrelevant after one day. Nick Groke of The Denver Post joins the show for a preview of what could be ahead over the offseason for this franchise (likely nothing). Plus Arizona Fall League talk, which team you should cheer for in the Australian Baseball League, and more!

On the Bryan Rekar Memorial Edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast, we discuss the issue of retired numbers. Todd Helton celebrates his 41st birthday today, three days after becoming the first player in Rockies franchise history to have his number retired. Do the Rockies have anyone else deserving of that honor? (HINT: No.) The Rockies announced this week that they'll be doing their own in-house podcasts, too. So...whatever that means. We discuss that, Carlos Gonzalez's (latest) surgery, give you a bit of an update on prospects in the organization, and spend a large portion of the show breaking down this year's Minors Moniker Madness competition on MiLB.com. Catch the fever!

We're number one! We're number one! We're number one! With Tuesday's loss and a Texas Rangers win, YOUR Colorado Rockies are officially the worst team in Major League Baseball. So hey, progress! Tyler and Anthony talk about that and take some listener questions. Plus, a discussion with James Smyth, sports researcher and in-booth statistician for the YES Network about what it's like to actually be that guy for a major league broadcast.
