As of Monday night, the Colorado Rockies have been mathematically eliminated from the 2022 postseason.
The fate of elimination was pretty much inevitable at some point this week — the club entered Monday 16 games out of a wildcard spot with 16 to play — but with the fate now sealed, the conversation officially turns to what is left.
It’s time to play spoiler: against others, and potentially against themselves.
15 games remain on Colorado’s 2022 schedule. All 15 games are against NL West foes, while nine are against teams in line for a postseason berth.
