Colorado Rockies podcast: How the New York Yankees may impact the Rockies more than any other team

In this episode of the Rox Pile Rockies Report, my co-expert, Kevin Henry, and I recap the Colorado Rockies series with the New York Mets.

We discussed a bit yesterday as well in this article with three positives and negatives that came out of the series for the Rockies but we delve more into the Rockies offense and, specifically, their bench and some of the advanced, sabermetric stats for their offense and how they are not a good sign for nearly the entire Rockies offense.

We also compare the New York Yankees and the Rockies as the Yankees, entering play on Monday, had the worst record in the American League. Their general manager Brian Cashman even spoke with the media on Monday about their slow start.

If the Yankees continue their start throughout the rest of the season, they could even find themselves on the precipice of being out of playoff contention. We discuss how they could have a huge impact on Rockies, despite the Rockies playing in the National League and in the West.

We also discuss the weather for Tuesday’s possible game against the Astros and how the weather may postpone it but both teams may actually prefer a doubleheader and we discuss why.

As a result, we discuss our opinions on the seven-inning double-header rule that has been carried over from 2020, including some reactions to it from the press box at Coors Field.

We, then end the podcast with some things that we are looking for the Rockies to improve upon in their series with Houston this week.

After the Rockies off-day on Monday (and potential off-day on Tuesday due to the snow), the Rockies have another off-day on Thursday before welcoming in the Philadelphia Phillies to Coors Field on Friday.
