Lost seasons, disastrous drafts and fans rooting for the visiting team: Inside the Rockies' road to rock bottom

The Colorado Rockies have been struggling for years, with the 2022 season shaping up to be one of the worst in their history. The team's decline can be attributed to a combination of factors, including lost seasons, disastrous drafts, and a lack of fan support. The Rockies have struggled to build a consistent winning team, with several lost seasons in recent years. Their drafting and player development have also been criticized, with several high-profile draft picks failing to live up to expectations. Additionally, the team has struggled to attract and retain fan support, with many Rockies games seeing more fans of the visiting team than the home team. This has contributed to a sense of malaise and lack of enthusiasm around the team. Overall, the Rockies' struggles are the result of a long-term decline that has been years in the making. While the team may be able to turn things around in the future, the 2022 season is shaping up to be a particularly difficult one for the franchise and its fans.
