In the latest episode of the Rox Pile Rockies Report, there is plenty going on in the world of the Colorado Rockies. And a lot of it doesn’t involve the team’s recent on-field play!

On Thursday, Troy Tulowitzki announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after a 13-year career. Ten of those seasons were with the Colorado Rockies and they contained moments of amazement (when Tulo was healthy, there were few better in the league) and disappointment (Tulo’s injuries, relationship with the media and fans as well as the end of his career where he was traded to Toronto).

With those moments in mind, Aaron Hurt, Noah Yingling and me sat down for a 20-minute discussion that included a look into what the legacy for Tulo should be with the Rockies. You can listen to that and much more in the podcast link below.

Also in the podcast, Aaron talks about his family’s recent trip to Washington, D.C. It was supposed to include a Monday night baseball game between the Nationals and the Rockies but it was postponed because of weather that never arrived at the stadium. Aaron talks about his family’s reaction to the “rainout” as well as his thoughts on Nationals Park and the area surrounding it.

Another source of discussion for Rockies fans came earlier on Friday when the club announced that they “are currently evaluating all netting options for the 2020 season.” Aaron talks about his views with the netting that has been increased at Nationals Park and all three roundtable participants give their thoughts on what the Rockies should do in regards to the netting next season in LoDo.

Also, the Rockies have won two consecutive games for the first time since late June! What if they go on a hot streak right before the trade deadline? What impact could that have on them as July 31 draws ever nearer? Our roundtable gives their predictions and thoughts.
