The podcast Affected by Altitude is hosted by Purple Row staff writers Evan Lang and Skyler Timmins, who are incredibly proud and excited to be lending their voices to more great Rockies content for you to enjoy. Joining Evan and Skyler is a rotating cast of guests hosts to talk shop about everyone’s favorite purple baseball team.
This week Evan and Skyler discuss the rapidly approaching trade deadline after the Colorado Rockies made their first move in dealing right-handed pitcher Nick Mears to the Milwaukee Brewers. Rockies fans also dealt with a little scare when Brenton Doyle was removed from Sunday’s game early, but no other trades have been made at time of recording. The Rockies also had a fun series with the Boston Red Sox that led to Cal Quantrill becoming the newest Rockies folk hero while Red Sox players sought to deliver him comeuppance. The wind was promptly taken out of the Rockies’ sails when they traveled to San Francisco and were promptly swept in an ugly series where they struck out 53 times.
In this episode, Evan and Skyler are also joined by the delightful and talented Rockies top catching prospect Drew Romo (no. 7 PuRP) for an interview! We thank him so much for joining us!
