Zach Bye 's enjoying Rockies Baseball—Will Petersen's not planning a parade—heated argument ensues
Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay break down 30 years of Rockies dysfunction, calling the franchise one of the worst‑run organizations in American sports. For decades, the Rockies stayed insular, avoided outside voices, and never won their division — with only a handful of competent seasons sticking out like rare blips on the radar.
But this year feels different.
Dick Monfort has stepped back.
The Rockies finally hired outside the organization.
And despite possibly losing 100 games, they’ve already won more than last season with over 50 games left — a legitimate sign of progress.
Zach explains why he’s allowing himself to feel optimism, especially watching Hunter Goodman, who’s on pace to pass Johnny Bench for the most home runs by a catcher in National League history. After 30 years of pain, he’s picking up the option to enjoy Rockies baseball again — even if others try to shame him for it.
