At 91–72 the Colorado Rockies have reached the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history and fifth time in 26 seasons of existence. Colorado got here thanks to two MVP candidates (Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story), a legit Cy Young contender (Kyle Freeland) and a bullpen that was phenomenal in the final month of the season (2.97 ERA, 1.05 WHIP).
But let’s be honest: you haven’t watched many Rockies games this season. They have a lot of odd start times (8:10 and 8:40 p.m. ET), play several of their games against clubs with little to no national presence (sorry, Diamondbacks and Padres), and well, it’s not exactly a club with a rich history.
