Let’s be honest: the Rockies’ loss to the Dodgers on Thursday was frustrating. Their three-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers last week – on three straight walk-off losses – was infuriating. They’ve lost an outlandish amount of ground in the National League West race and may well be playing for just another one-game playoff to decide their postseason fate in 2019. But nobody cares about that.
That’s because this week, the Grand Junction Rockies took Twitter by storm with the most bizarre couple of tweets and reaction to other tweets that maybe any Rookie-level team has ever projected to the public.
