About this episode
Episode 104 is here, and we’ve got a three-person panel tonight as Tom is joined by Chris and Sarah to break down the latest Rockies news as spring training gets underway. We dive into Colorado’s two new pitching additions — Tomoyuki Sugano and José Quintana — and why their pitch mixes might actually translate at Coors Field better than the national reaction suggests. We also discuss what these veteran arms mean for the rotation, how the fifth starter battle could shake out, and what the bullpen might look like (including the lefty situation and whether the Rockies should name a true closer. On the position player side, we talk opening day lineup and roster battles, especially in the outfield and at the corner infield spots, plus thoughts on bench construction, stolen base leaders, and how much the defense matters with a pitch-to-contact staff. Finally, we close with a bigger-picture question: how many wins can the Rockies realistically reach in 2026 with a new leadership group, a new coaching direction, and improved health from key players like Tovar and Doyle.
