Why are the Colorado Rockies so consistently bad?

Since 2020 they are 207 games under .500 at 331-538.

Over 100 losses per season since 2023. On pace to do it again this season, currently at 45-70.

Is their farm system that bad or just an unlucky stretch the past few seasons?

They’ve spent money, just allocated it poorly.

They have one of the worst front offices in the game.

Sad to see. I know it’s been years but their first few seasons as en expansion team had record setting attendance. I think they consistently had over 4 million attendance for their first few seasons.

No good pitcher wants to play there for half of every season and see their ERA explode.

This is always the correct answer when any pro sports team is really bad for a really long time.

Don’t they draw an ungodly amount of fans for having the record they have?

Until this year they basically never went outside the organization for high level roles. Everyone had been with the team forever. No new ideas, no new ways to do thinga

I know they gave Kris Bryant a 7-year $182 million contract in 2022 and he's played a grand total of 170 games in that time and they have two more years to go. He may never play another game.

Spotty drafting and development of first round picks. Of course, it's not always the first rounders that work out but going back to 2010, outside of Story, Gray, Freeland and Rodgers nobody else made an impact.

If Dollander, Holliday and Condon excel then maybe they finally have something. But that's a long stretch for many high picks that didn't do much.
