Going into the 2020 season, the Rockies, among other things, were hoping the continued development of young players would lead the club back to the postseason. Center fielder David Dahl was looking to build on his All-Star campaign from 2019; Ryan McMahon used his first season playing more than 100 games (141 to be exact) to knock 24 home runs; and Sam Hilliard put up superstar numbers during a 27 game stint in the bigs in September by crushing seven home runs to go along with his .649 slugging and 1.006 OPS.
The Rockies, barring a miracle, will not be playing postseason ball in 2020 and it’s hard to figure out exactly who’s to blame.
