It’s been a long March.
The month is typically reserved for hope and optimism for baseball fans as the air fills the sound of cleats on dirt and the crack of wooden bats as winter thaws into spring in MLB camps around Arizona and Florida. However, this year has been much less satisfying for not just Colorado Rockies fans, but fans of the game of baseball.
Colorado’s performance and outlook is not the reason for this pessimism. Expectations are low after an abysmal 2023 campaign and the team has largely avoided the catastrophic injury this Cactus League season.
