The Rockies’ strange, confounding and hugely disappointing season ends Sunday in Arizona with a game against the equally bad and disappointing Diamondbacks.
Before the 60-game, pandemic-shortened season began, I predicted the Rockies would finish 29-31. I didn’t think owner Dick Monfort and general manager Jeff Bridich had done nearly enough to improve on last year’s 71-91 team.
But when the Rockies opened with an 11-3 record, I jumped on the bandwagon and changed my mind, saying the Rockies would win 36 games. As The Who famously sang: “Won’t get fooled again.”
With that confession and vow out of the way, I present my report card for the 2020 Rockies:
MVP: Shortstop Trevor Story played with energy and passion every time he took the field.
