Jake McCarthy, Rockies outfielder(Scranton) says, \u201c I just think there’s a really good vibe in camp. I think, you know, we’re all on the same page of, you know, where we want to get to.<\/p>\n
So, you know, we’re about a week in , and it’s been it’s been a great time. I think you you get a good group of guys that are eager to sort of, you know, change the narrative and, are excited to impact the game in a number of different ways. And I just think this team, you know, this roster where we play, I think we can do that in a number of different ways.<\/p>\n
I think it starts with just effort and, taking pride. And, you know, I think we all want to be beat them every single game. But I just think baserunning and defense at Coors especially is, is super important to getting where, where we want to be. “<\/p>\n
