The Colorado Rockies’ season is long over, but the MLB Playoffs are in full swing. The Los Angeles Dodgers have a 3-2 lead over the New York Mets in the NLCS, and the New York Yankees have a 3-1 lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS. Meanwhile, the Rox brought back manager Bud Black for a ninth season, so we’ll see how long it takes them to get back to the postseason.
That all said, here’s what the Purple Row writers have been up to!
