I think it's been a while since adopt-a-team has covered the Rockies of Colorado. Well, what the hell, I could use a little more pain and suffering in my life.
Two items to start us off:
1) the Rockies are one of the teams that have moved to an in-market streaming option, so true masochists can pay $100/year to watch this team: https://www.purplerow.com/2024/2/14/24073003/colorado-rockies-will-stream-games-on-new-platform-rockies-tv-mlb
I will fascinated if we can glean any info on how many people sign up. As a longtime cable-cutter, this does present the horrific possibility I may actually, like, buy this service and watch these games.
2) The Rockies are projected to lose 104 games this season, worst in the majors:

Oh, and Daniel Bard injured himself and is going to miss Spring Training. This is before Spring Training has even started. Let's see how much worse it can get for the Boys in Purple this season. Join me, as I half ass it to start the season and then, in true Rockies fashion, just give up.
Rockies Fever: contract it!
