It’s February, and you know what that means: Pitchers and catchers will be reporting soon.
In honor of the new month, and the promise of longer, warmer days, here’s the Foo Fighters.
So, Dick Monfort had a wide-ranging and lengthy conversation with the media last week. . . .
- Kenneth Weber considered the implications of Monfort’s comments.
“Sent from my iPad” season is upon us. One of the big takeaways: the Rockies are determined to continue over-valuing their own product. https://t.co/L7aVEwL7KU

- Paul Elliott consider what needs to go right for the Colorado Rockies to meet Monfort’s .500 projection.
A lot has to happen for the Rockies to “play .500 ball” this year. What has to go right for the team to make Dick Monfort’s statement become a reality? https://t.co/9Ggh9xNaKv

- Evan Lang celebrated the career of old friend Dexter Fowler.
Former #Rockies CF @DexterFowler has retired. We tip our caps to him and an excellent career as we look back at his time in the Mile High City. https://t.co/x3fWAHVeI6

- Joelle Milholm finished up the week with a lovely meditation on Coors Field during the offseason.
Seeing the ballpark blanketed in snow before it awakes for the 2023 season of baseball was a delight. If you haven’t taken a tour of Coors Field, you should. Any day of the year. After spending 80 minutes there this week, I can’t wait for Opening Day. https://t.co/oB5PBRxaGv

- And Justin Wick (who’s leaving Purple Row to take a job with the Baltimore Orioles!) celebrated a normal Spring Training without pandemics or lockouts.
Spring training is revived and well.
