Affected by Altitude Episode 115: A Rotation on the Mend
This week, Skyler returns to the show after his week away much like how the multitude of injured Colorado Rockies starting pitchers are moving ever closer to their returns. At the very least the other members of the rotation like Cal Quantrill, Austin Gomber, and even Dakota Hudson have held down the fort in strong fashion whilst their comrades heal up and work on rehab. Outfielder Nolan Jones is also close to returning which has us wondering... what exactly do the Rockies want from a guy like Elehuris Montero or Sean Bouchard? What are their plans? They need to start making decisions soon. Skyler and Evan also make decisions by naming their Pitcher and Player of the Month for May!

Every Rockie Ever #27: Greg Norton, Wilin Rosario, Jonathan Herrera
We all have those players that we love who didn't necessarily turn the needle in the direction of contention but were still quality ball players in their own respect. In this new episode of Every Rockie Ever, Skyler and Dustin reflect on three players that they enjoyed that were cult classic heroes to them. Dustin first expands on his admiration of the pinch-hitting extraordinaire Greg Norton of the early 2000s. Skyler then delves into the fearsome bat of the Baby Bull Wilin Rosario but laments his bad defense at catcher. Then the brothers reflect on a mutual favorite, Jonathan Herrera a.k.a. Little Johnny Sparkplug

Affected by Altitude Episode 114: Do we call a moving truck or an ambulance? (feat. Patrick Lyons)
Evan is joined by friend of the show Patrick Lyons to discuss the flurry of roster moves the Colorado Rockies have made over the last handful of days. Pitchers being called up, sent down, and going all around as the bullpen seeks reinforcements to cure their struggles. The Rockies have also suffered several key injuries, the worst of which is top prospect outfielder Jordan Beck's broken hand that will sideline him for at least a month. Meanwhile, there are more moves to be made, trades to be considered, and value to be discussed. The lads cap things off with a discussion on having fun, being weird, and playing with purpose.

Affected by Altitude Episode 113: Win Streak Autopsy
This week, Skyler and Evan pull up their sterile nitrile gloves and dive into the open chest cavity of the Colorado Rockies' now ended seven game winning streak. What made the Rockies so successful during those delightful seven games of actually fun baseball? Then it's time to talk roster movement with the impending returns of Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones. Finally, other basement dwellers are already starting to sell. When should the Rockies bite the bullet and do the same? Who should be the ones to go?

This podcast gets better every week
The three hosts are becoming more and more comfortable each day. I love the discussions and there is always a little bit of humor. I highly recommend this podcast.
Also it’s really nice not have an ad break every three seconds like some other podcasts.
