Has losing becoming too acceptable at 20th and Blake?

If you’re a Rockies fan, the preseason previews and predictions for the 2024 season are beyond dismal.

Consider:

FanGraphs projects the Rockies to have an MLB-worst 0.1% chance at making the postseason in 2024. FanGraphs sees the Rockies finishing 63-99.

Baseball Prospectus projects a 57-105 record, two losses worse than the Rockies’ 103 losses last season.

ESPN predicts 57-105, the worst record in the majors. Yes, worse than the Oakland A’s.

• Fansided says 60-102.

• The wiseguys at BetMGM put the Rockies’ win total at 60.5. Oakland is the only team with a lower win total (56.5) than Colorado.

As I said, it’s a dismal forecast.

Players bristle when you bring up lousy predictions. They get ticked off when the media dwells on losing streaks. Manager Bud Black got a little chippy with me last season when the Rockies lost to the Dodgers in a game that marked the first 100-loss season in franchise history.

“It’s another loss this season,” Black said. “I don’t know quite (what the question is). I mean, it’s 98, 99, 100. That’s another loss.”

Black went on the say that the milestone loss held no major significance to himself or his players.
