Deep breath, Rockies fans. We made it through 2021. It went better than expected, but that does not necessarily mean it went well. The highs and lows of the season were covered well earlier, but with the Rockies failing to return to the playoffs and finishing well below .500, the season was not a success.
For the ten teams moving onto the postseason, their seasons have yet to be deemed successes or failures also. For the perennial powerhouses that continually qualify for the playoffs, anything less of winning it all can be considered failure.
