The Colorado Rockies have extended manager Bud Black's contract for one more year, ensuring he remains at the helm through the 2025 season. Despite a disappointing 61-101 record in 2024 and a third consecutive last-place finish in the NL West, the Rockies' front office believes in Black's leadership and the potential of their young roster.

General manager Bill Schmidt expressed confidence in the team's direction, citing the development of young players as a key factor. Black, who has the most wins in Rockies history, will rely on veterans and a promising core as they aim to improve their performance and return to playoff contention.

Kyle Freeland expresses newfound optimism for the Colorado Rockies despite their recent struggles, including a 103-loss season. He appreciates the team's young talent and the moves made by general manager Bill Schmidt.

Former outfielder Charlie Blackmon believes in the potential of young players like Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle, while also highlighting the need for improvement in pitching and offense.

Schmidt acknowledges the challenges but sees progress in the team's depth and talent, particularly among young pitchers. However, he emphasizes the need for better offensive production and reducing strikeouts.

Shohei Ohtani's quest for the National League Triple Crown came to an end as he finished the season with 54 home runs and 130 RBIs, but a .310 batting average, falling short of Luis Arráez's .314. He stole his 59th base in a crucial eighth-inning rally that helped the Los Angeles Dodgers secure a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies in Charlie Blackmon's final game.

The Dodgers, with a record of 98-64, are set for the postseason, while the Rockies faced another disappointing season with 101 losses. Blackmon was honored in a heartfelt ceremony as he concluded his 14-year career, leaving as the franchise's all-time leader in triples.

The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated a triumphant night at Coors Field, defeating the Colorado Rockies 11-4, securing their 11th National League West title in 12 years. Dodgers fans reveled in the performance of Shohei Ohtani, who had a stellar game, hitting a three-run homer and stealing his 57th base, further solidifying his MVP candidacy.

Despite the loss, the Rockies saw some bright spots with Ezequiel Tovar and Nolan Jones contributing offensively. The Rockies now face a tough challenge to avoid a second consecutive 100-loss season as they prepare for their final games against the Dodgers.

The Colorado Rockies continue to struggle offensively, with a 5-2 defeat against the St. Louis Cardinals highlighting their shortcomings. Despite Brenton Doyle's leadoff homer, the team managed just one hit with runners in scoring position and recorded eleven strikeouts. This season marks a franchise record for games scoring three runs or fewer at home.

Manager Bud Black acknowledged that expectations weren't met, particularly in situational hitting. The Rockies, now facing a second consecutive 100-loss season, must improve dramatically in their final games to avoid continuous setbacks.
