In an email sent to season-ticket holders earlier this week, owner Dick Monfort lamented that the Rockies did not meet the “high” expectations he had for his team this season.It says something about the insular nature of the Rockies franchise that its owner came into this year expecting something better than fourth place in the NL West.
No doubt some of that optimism was rooted in the signing of free agent Kris Bryant to a seven-year, $182 million deal. Unfortunately, general manager Bill Schmidt’s “aircraft carrier” stayed moored to the bench for all but 42 games due to multiple injuries, and the starting pitching staff that was supposed to be a team strength was instead among the worst in the National League.The Rockies’ World Series odds back in March were a tidy 200-to-1. And there wasn’t a sportsbook in the country that had the Rockies’ win total higher than 75.
Instead, the Rockies finished last in the NL West with 68 wins — proving yet again that Vegas knows what it’s doing — and missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.
