Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rockies fans and fans across the country.

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The 6-6 Colorado Rockies have made it through their rotation 2. 4 times so far and each starter has had at least one road start and one home start (except for José Quintana, of course, who is on the IL with a hamstring injury).

We’ve seen some dominant performances and some not-so-dominant performances so it begs the question: how is the new Rockies’ pitching philosophy playing out in real time? But before we answer that question, since we’re still in small sample size territory, I’d rather ask you this: how would you grade the starting rotation so far in 2026? <a href="https://www.
