Colorado Rockies podcast: Cubs, Phillies on tap for homestand

Get ready for all of the Kris Bryant storylines to rule the headlines as the Chicago Cubs come to Denver to kick off a seven-game homestand for the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night.

Bryant, the former Cub who helped finally bring a World Series title to Wrigleyville in 2016, was one of the most coveted free agents of the offseason. He has injected himself into the Colorado Rockies lineup as a key weapon, and has already given the Rockies some offensive life, registering at least one hit in each of Colorado’s first five games.

In those first five games, by the way, Colorado has registered a 4-1 mark and entered Wednesday’s off day in sole possession of first place in the National League West.

Sure, it’s early, but there are some encouraging signs from this year’s version of the Colorado Rockies, and that’s one of the topics we discuss on our most recent podcast.

In this episode, which you can listen to by clicking here, we discuss the start of the season for the Rockies and what has gone right. We also look ahead to the upcoming homestand with the Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies making their only appearances of the season at 20th and Blake. Both teams could well be in the postseason chase as the season winds along, so this homestand could not only be a good measuring stick for the Rockies, but also pay dividends for Colorado down the road.

We also discuss some of the “unwritten rules of baseball” as a moment between the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants earned national attention and plenty of buzz. Was it really worth all of the attention and debate? We give our takes.
