While the Colorado Rockies made a quick exit from the playoffs both seasons (losing the National League Wild Card Game in 2017 and being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Division series in 2018), that does not discount the fact that they are playing better baseball right now than they ever have before.
And a lot of the credit for that goes to the man at the helm, Bud Black. The Rockies’ turnaround in recent years isn’t the product of Black’s leadership alone. The Rockies have a very talented roster built with the intention of winning it all.
