Thank you, Denver Post.
I had a whole different Rockpile written today, but I scrapped it in order to give a shoutout to the Denver Post, specifically Patrick Saunders, Kyle Newman, and Matt Schubert for the amazing, in-depth, and no-holds-barred four-part series that dropped Thursday, explaining who the Colorado Rockies are and why.
Battling layoffs and budget reductions from Alden Global Capital, the reporters at the Denver Post — the sports desk and beyond — keep showing up to do great journalism. This comes on top of cutbacks across the media landscape with the Athletic ending its Rockies coverage earlier this season.
