Part 6/9:
The Challenges Facing the Rockies
The Rockies' persistent losing streaks highlight the difficulties of winning in Denver, a city where attendance remains surprisingly high—averaging around 30,000 fans per game. Despite the team’s struggles, fan support endures, reflecting a dedicated and resilient fanbase.
However, turning this support into sustained success remains elusive. The franchise's farm system weakness, poor recent results, and the challenge of attracting top managerial or executive talent limit prospects for a swift turnaround. Rumors of possible ownership meddling further complicate the picture, with some insiders speculating about interference from above, potentially hampering hiring decisions or strategic planning.
