Colorado Rockies: 18 things we are looking forward to in 2018

We are officially less than 100 days until Opening Day of the 2018 Major League Baseball season. On some of these cold and snowy Colorado mornings, thoughts of summer nights at Coors Field and cheering on the Colorado Rockies can be the things that get fans through these dark and dreary days.

When the Rockies take on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Chase Field on March 29, it will begin the 25th anniversary of Colorado’s franchise. It will also begin a season where Colorado will be attempting to make the postseason for the second consecutive year after securing the second National League Wild Card slot last year. The Rockies have never made the playoffs two straight seasons. Will this be the year that that changes?

That is just one of the things that we will be watching closely this season from our seats in the Coors Field press box. There are plenty of other things that we will be keeping our eyes on … and plenty of other things that we are already looking forward to seeing next season.

With that in mind, here are 18 things that we think are going to be fun and interesting to watch when the 2018 season begins and unfolds.
