Talk about a fall from grace.

After winning 91 games last season and making the playoffs for the second consecutive year, the Rockies had 91 losses, and counting, going into the weekend. It’s the biggest one-season tumble in franchise history, topping the 16-game slide from 90 wins in 2007 to 74 in 2008.

Day in and day out over this long, frustrating season, manager Bud Black has patiently answered questions about the state of the team. Closers who blew saves, starters who imploded and slumping position players all made themselves available to the media. With one or two exceptions, the players answered questions in a professional manner.

Now it’s general manager Jeff Bridich‘s turn to be held accountable. Bridich will likely meet with the media shortly after the season is over, the first time he’s done so since the trade deadline at the end of July.

At that time, Bridich said: “It’s been tough baseball to watch. We have to own this. It’s frustrating because it’s the same group of guys (from 2018). And we have our health. Injuries are not a part of this. So we have to own this and learn from it. I don’t think anybody saw this coming. I certainly didn’t, not to this degree.”

And this: “I still very much believe in this group. Do we have things to improve on? Yeah, you betcha. We’ll see what the winter brings. But it’s a strong core. And hopefully, they’re learning things about themselves. We just need to learn how to be a better team.”

It’s no secret that Bridich views media members such as myself with contempt, but it’s our job to work as a conduit to the fans and ask questions that those media members with close ties to the team will not or can not.

So, when we do meet with Bridich, here are some of the questions I have.

— Nolan Arenado has said it feels like the Rockies are in a “rebuild.” Do you agree with Arenado’s view?

— Given the poor performance of the starting rotation this season, is it imperative that you make an offseason trade or sign a free agent to bolster the rotation?

— Do you anticipate any changes to the coaching staff, specifically in regard to pitching coaches Steve Foster and Darren Holmes?

— A number of your young relievers — Scott Oberg, Carlos Estevez and Jairo Diaz — have flashed promise this season. Are you confident in the makeup of your bullpen going forward?

— The one major move the Rockies made in the offseason a year ago was the acquisition of veteran first baseman Daniel Murphy. In retrospect, should you have done more to try and improve the team?

— You have a number of high-priced players who performed poorly this season, specifically relievers Wade Davis, Bryan Shaw, Jake McGee and outfielder Ian Desmond. Will you attempt to trade any of them during the offseason? And how difficult would it be to deal them?

— Are you confident that Murphy can be a good enough fielder to play quality first base in 2019?

— You have said that you anticipate “responsible growth” in regard to team payroll but will raises to players such as Arenado, Trevor Story and Jon Gray take up most of that growth?

— Many of us, including myself, predicted that the Rockies would be a playoff contender. Did we overestimate the talent level of the team? Did you?
