The Rockies host the Tampa Bay Rays to open their home schedule at Coors Field.
A win in their first home game of the season would help the fan base stay interested in a Rockies team that is otherwise off to a rough start.But today is Colorado’s Opening Day. The Rockies' forgiving fanbase packed every seat at Coors Field on this spectacular, sunny, 75-degree, early-April Friday afternoon to shower grace upon the Rockies for this one day. Rockies fans can put up with just about anything so long as the home team beats the Tampa Bay Rays in the home opener.
“But it’s a good point. It’s going to be a sold out crowd with a lot of energy. They want to see good things. So let’s give it to them.” The Rockies also lost 5-0 with the wind gusting straight in at Wrigley Field, and 12-2 the next day against the Cubs with the wind blowing a gale straight out. The Rockies, it seems, are capable of losing any game, whatever the conditions, they play this year.“This is a cool event,’’ Charlie Blackmon, the Rockies’ longest tenured player, said at his locker before the home opener.
“I’m usually pretty terrible the first few weeks at least,’’ Blackmon said. “So it’s nice to be a little better this year.”
