Having an epiphany that inspires change is an essential part of any good hero’s journey. For Bilbo Baggins, it was finding his courage. For Peter Parker, it was learning that with great power comes great responsibility. For Tom Cruise, it was learning that he can run away at a full sprint in every single Mission: Impossible film.
For the Rockies, it needs to be learning what they are doing isn’t working.
Like many fans, I’ve been frustrated at the efforts of the team over the years, especially in the wake of yet another uneventful trade deadline, mired in yet another losing season, and the stubborn insistence that they are built to compete.
