Rockies Journal: D-backs turned things around. Can Colorado follow their blueprint?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:36:32 GMT

For teams like the Rockies and Diamondbacks to be contenders, the stars must align and the windows of opportunity must open just right.The D-backs’ window is wide open right now. How long it stays that way remains to be seen, but I’m certain the Rockies are well aware of what’s going on in the desert. Whether or not the Rockies can duplicate the D-backs’ success is debatable.Arizona’s about-face is remarkable.This is a team that lost 110 games just two years ago. The D-backs hadn’t reached the playoffs since 2017 when they beat the Rockies in a wild-card game. It’s been a decade since the D-backs won the National League West. And 22 years since they won their only World Series.But after upsetting Milwaukee in the wild-card round, Arizona is now in the NLDS vs. the mighty Dodgers. I don’t think it’s going to happen, but I would not be shocked to see the D-backs pull off another upset.The Rockies, we know, are a long way from the postsea...
