Coming off an offseason that saw a lot of change for the Colorado Rockies from the front office down onto the field with the coaching staff and roster, there is a different feeling through the first nine games of the season.
After being swept by the Miami Marlins to begin the season, the Rockies took two out of three from the defending American League champion Toronto Blue Jays in Canada. They returned to Coors Field over the weekend and dropped two out of three to the Philadelphia Phillies. At 3-6 to begin the season after their first three series is something Colorado will take.
Sure, it could be a game or two better in terms of wins and losses, as the games against the Marlins were there for the taking. Owen Caissie’s walk-off home run in the series final with two out and the Rockies leading 3-2 was a gut-wrenching loss. However, it says a lot that manager Warren Schaffer won three of their next six games.
After dropping the series to the Phillies, the Rockies will welcome the Houston Astros in for three games beginning on Monday night. They will do so with a promising outlook from one MLB writer.
