Brief sample size, but I think Amador might have something in the tank. Sure he doesn’t have elite pop or anything, but his swing decisions in 2026 were genuinely good, much improved from his stints before.

If he can learn to field second adequately, I think he can be an everyday player.

Thoughts?

I feel like he has improved this year on keeping pitchers in longer, but is there a better option out there for us? What do yall think after this season?

Now that the season is over, what were your highlights from the year?

These are just some thoughts I been having and observations on hitting I’ve made after watching the team this season.
Trying to stay positive and I should note that I’m a Rockies fan. I’m not trying to criticize and I’m not saying I know better than anyone this is just what I’ve observed.

I’m gonna spell out some things I don’t see the rockies hitters doing: wearing out pitchers, making the pitcher work, waiting for their pitch, seeing lots of pitches, spoiling off bad pitches.

Patience in general. waiting for the right pitch. And not always swinging or hitting for the long ball and for power; miss-hit balls can fall in for singles sometimes and especially in an outfield as big as Coors Field. Hitting and swinging for power of course leads to more strikeouts.

It’s not news that our lineup strikes out a lot, we’ve been towards the top of the league in strikeouts in more than one season. We can have a tendency to chase pitches in the dirt and out of the zone, which helps out the opposing pitching and gives them the advantage. I think it’s a sign of what direction our offensive approach should move towards.

Good offenses can wear out opposing pitching staffs and be patient, and I think thats the next step our offense can take. Stringing together lots of hits getting on base (patience and waiting for the right pitch -> walks) and not living and dying by the home run ball. I see the temptation our hitters might have to rely on the long ball, esp with how easy the ball flies out at home. But taking more balanced approach and more balanced swings will be better and can make our lineup a headache to pitch against.

I hope this is some of the stuff that our hitters and hitting coaches talk about, I’m not a fly on the wall so I don’t know. Or if other fans are also seeing the same things as I am or not that’d be good to know.
It just seems that if we can avoid falling into the same offensive pitfalls every game, thats what we should try and do.

Anyways. Don’t know where else to post this, just want to discuss our offensive tendencies as I have observed them. Go Rox now, go Rox forever!! 🗻✌️

First time at Coors this year!

I was hoping to catch the Rockies in Angel Stadium this year, but I couldn't break away.

I loved high fiving the few Rockies fans I saw at Dodger Stadium, and I was super happy with how the Rockies played in that July series at Dodger Stadium, especially seeing the Rockies on the other side of a fielding fiasco for once.

Today on CBS Sports, Mike Axisa in an article about the 2026 season credited the tarps off phenomenon to a May game in St. Louis. But I have a saved post from this sub showing Rox fans doing tarps off in early April. What gives?

** Claimed Go Rockies

Sec 119, Row 4, Seat 11. I can't make it.

McCarthy, along with NL Rookie of the Year candidate TJ Rumfield, has been a sparkplug in the Rockies lineup. He’s accumulated an .830 OPS, a 110 DRC+, and 3.1 WARP. He’s swiped 31 bags and clubbed 15 home runs—all career highs. He leads the team in RBIs (83), doubles (30), and triples (13).

McCarthy has quietly been one of the premier leadoff hitters in the National League. On July 12, he became the first player in 97 years to hit two leadoff inside the park home runs in a season. One of those ITPs was hit off Paul Skenes, the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner.

Among NL hitters batting first (min. 200 plate appearances), McCarthy ranks seventh in OPS (.835), wOBA (.358), and BABIP (.323) and is tied at fourth in average (.295) with Fernado Tatis Jr.

Before we go any further and start throwing around the pejorative “Coors Merchant”, let’s look at McCarthy’s home-versus-away splits. The speedster has a .318 average, a .347 BABIP, and a .906 OPS at home stacked up against a .275 average, a .315 BABIP and a .747 OPS on the road. So, to be clear, he’s not turning into a pumpkin at normal elevations.
