The Rockies have a new pitching coach, and Troy and I dig into why Ethan Katz might be the right fit for the toughest job in baseball. Katz was drafted by the Rockies in 2005, ran the White Sox staff for five years and spent 2026 with the Astros, and he's known as a relationship coach who can make analytics make sense to pitchers. We talk about what went wrong with last year's pitch-calling setup, why I still think calling pitches from the dugout can work, and the new game-planning role for 28-year-old Andre Lipcius. Then how you actually pitch at Coors Field, the four players outrighted off the 40-man, RJ Petit going back to Detroit, and six new scouts. Plus stories from Rockies Fantasy Camp with Larry Walker as commissioner, Todd Helton talking trash, and CarGo hitting a bomb.

The Brewers are World Series champs, and Troy and I are still trying to wrap our heads around how good this team was. 103 wins, 11-2 in October, a sweep of the Dodgers, and they did it without leaning on the home run. We get into why it worked: buy-in, no egos, and a club that talks about "offense," not hitting. Walks, bunts, first-to-third, "drag them" two-strike at-bats. Then the big question: what can the Rockies actually copy, and how long would it take? We give some love to the former Rockies in Milwaukee, especially Antonio Senzatela, who went from a rough 2025 to a World Series ring. We finish with offseason housekeeping (options, free agency, the non-tender deadline) and why Colorado has to be aggressive before the Dec. 1 lockout deadline. Plus Fantasy Camp with Larry Walker as commissioner, and Broncos-Chiefs.

Ryan Spilborghs calls in from the World Series in Tampa, and Troy Renck joins from Denver. The Brewers lead the Rays 3-0 and are one win away from the first title in franchise history. Spilly lays out how historic this run is and responds to the "Brewers are cheating" talk. Then a personal story: Jack O'Dowd, son of former Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd, went from independent ball to a real shot with Colorado, and Spilly explains what Dan meant to his own career. Last, the CBA expires Dec. 1, owners are pushing for a salary cap and a lockout is likely, so this World Series could be the last baseball for a while.

Corrections: The Dodgers won 100 games in 2026, not 98. Cooper Pratt's extension is eight years, not six. Tony Clark resigned as MLBPA executive director in February; he was not fired.
