Rockies need solid April.(The Gazette)
Most baseball teams look at any new season as the start of a long journey or marathon.
That's usually the best approach. But not this year for the Colorado Rockies.
They can talk all they want about building toward summer, capped by playing 26 of their last 33 games inside the National League West.
No matter what the Rockies say, though, April means everything to them.
Part of it is scheduling. Of the Rockies' 24 games in the first month, 15 are at Coors Field. Colorado plays nine of its first 12 games in Denver.
Also, the Rockies face home-and-home April series against Arizona, picked by many to win the NL West; St. Louis, favored to repeat as NL Central champion; and San Diego, a division rival they must handle to become contenders.
Next, the Rockies have a handful of players who cannot afford a slow start.
