It was Opening Day at Coors Field and things couldn’t have really gone worse. Despite plenty of pomp and circumstance, the 37° temperature and snowy conditions kept away some fans with tickets and the 11-inning marathon home many who were tired of seeing the Colorado Rockies squander many scoring opportunities.

How badly did the starting lineup? Why wasn’t Kris Bryant in the starting lineup? Are the Rockies using those new torpedo bats?

Plus, Sunday’s starter was announced and it couldn’t have been any more exciting: top pitching prospect Chase Dollander will be in Denver for his Major League debut. How did he fare in his first Triple-A start? What can we expect from the 23-year-old out of the University of Tennessee?
