To put this season in comparison to the last two, where the Rockies have gone to the playoffs for the first time in back-to-back season, the 2019 version isn’t far off in the first month of the season. In 2017 the Rockies went 16-10 and the 2018 club was 15-15 after April. If Josh Donaldson didn’t hit a three-run homer off of Seung-hwan Oh or Chris Iannetta stepped on home plate in an 18-inning affair in two games before Marquez’s gem, this club might be on a very similar trajectory. The 2017 club was more consistent with the wins even though they won 87 games compared to the 2018 club who won 91.
