After the Nolan Arenado trade, expectations for this season dropped to new lows. It was no longer a matter of IF the team would be bad, it was a matter of HOW bad this team could be. Historically, the Rockies are one of two MLB teams who have never recorded a 100-loss season (Angels). The closest the Rockies have gotten was back in 2012 when they lost 98 games. Could 2021 be the year the Rockies get trounced to 100 losses?
If you would have asked me at the beginning of the season, I would have said no, the rotation would be too good to allow that and the offense would be able to pull enough games out of their you-know-what at Coors to let that happen.
