We shift into off-season mode, where we’ll only be having one or two questions a week. This time, the main question was inspired by a post on Purple Row, discussing who was the Rockies’ rival, which came to the conclusion it was the D-backs. Let’s see if the SnakePit writers agree...
Do the D-backs have a “rival”. If so, who and why?
Spencer: I don’t think so. I think we could have one like the Rockies, but MLB doesn’t care to focus on mid-media teams. I think as fans of the less successful team, we want to claim a rival as good as LAD or SF or SD, but we just don’t have the history or success to claim that beyond a random season or two when we stumble into success (historically speaking).
