Tonight, the Rockies begin their last homestand, taking on the Dodgers, Giants, and Nationals in their final Coors Field games of 2021. While the Rockies are not in the playoff picture, the stakes are still high for both Colorado and Los Angeles.
For the Rockies (70-79), they are playing the role of spoiler while trying to end with a record close to .500 that’s maybe above the Padres, both of which seemed impossible at the beginning of the season. They are certainly distant secondary milestones compared to punching a ticket to the postseason, but it could indicate a positive future for the organization and small points of pride for a fanbase wrapping up its third straight playoff-less season.
