Rockies Hit Rock Bottom Again: What Another 100-Loss Season Means for Aurora Fans
Let’s not sugarcoat it: the 2024 Colorado Rockies season was a historic disaster. Finishing 58–104, the club claimed the worst record in baseball for the second straight year—something no franchise wants on its résumé. The final stretch was especially brutal: 18 losses in the last 22 games, turning a bad season into an embarrassing one.
For Aurora fans who make the short drive down I-225 or hop the R Line to Coors Field, the frustration is personal. We pack the parking lots at Southlands and Town Center at Aurora wearing purple, grab a pre-game bite at Helga’s or The Lost Cajun, and watch a product that hasn’t sniffed .500 since 2018. The Rockies have now lost 100+ games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history. That’s not a rebuild—that’s a teardown with no blueprint in sight.
Ownership says the plan is “player development.” But with Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle as the only true building blocks, and a farm system ranked near the bottom third, the timeline keeps sliding. Meanwhile, the Monforts have yet to spend meaningfully in free agency, leaving the NL West’s thinnest rotation to get hammered at altitude.
The silver lining? Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and Aurora Sports Park are booming with youth baseball. The next generation is playing the game right here—even if the big-league club isn’t.
Until the front office proves it’s serious about winning, Aurora’s purple faithful will keep showing up—because that’s what we do. But patience is wearing thinner than the air at 5,280 feet.
