When Dick Monfort sat down at a downtown Denver restaurant earlier this week, his hunger extended beyond brunch. “I want to win,” the longtime Colorado Rockies owner said. His methods for accomplishing that goal remain a source of frustration for Rockies fans. Since posting back-to-back playoff berths for the first time in 2017-18, the franchise has spiraled, bottoming out with 103 losses last season. Between the endless defeats, undying loyalty to decision-makers, Kris Bryant’s underwhelming impact, a lack of starting pitching and uncertainty over whether the games will be available on TV, Monfort remains a target for criticism as the Rockies open their season Thursday night at Arizona. “My biggest problem is I hate losing, and it is hard to debate anybody when you are losing,” Monfort said.
