In past years, the Colorado Rockies playing well into October meant the team had qualified for the postseason and “Rocktober” took on a special significance in and around Denver. However, this year, with the entire Major League Baseball schedule being pushed back because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease pandemic, the revised regular season schedule could well stretch into October, whether teams are in the chase for the postseason or not.
Of course, nothing is set in stone at this point regarding the schedule and there are reportedly many options on the table, including shortening the season to less than the normal 162 games and keeping the schedule with the same number of games but stretching the regular season well into October, which could push the postseason deeper into November than ever before.
