The dreaded sophomore slump.
I know it exists. It’s very real. And yet, I didn’t allow the idea to penetrate my hope-springs-eternal mindset going into the 2024 Major League Baseball season. I’ve been dreaming of full seasons for Nolan Jones and Brenton Doyle and the new heights they could reach. I’m excited about watching the glove work continue to amazing and seeing the power grow in Ezequiel Tovar’s second year.
That allusion of purely positive improvement was shattered when I read Kenneth Weber’s Purple Row article on Feb. 12 about all the projections that the Rockies will be the worst team in baseball this season.
