Rockies’ icon Vinny Castilla believes in the club this season and beyond | Mile High Sports
A baseball season lasts a long time, with loads of games and plenty of opportunity, either to succeed or to fail. The Rockies have had a year that’s gone up and way down, but they’re still trying to stay positive about the future of the team. Former Rockie Vinny Castilla sat down to chat with Mile High Sports about his part in the Kingsford Charcoal campaign, Taste of The Game. He also spoke about the 2019 Rockies, saying he still believes in their chances. He talks about teams going through rough patches, but this club is the type to work hard and find its way out. They might not quite make the playoffs, but the hopes are still there that the future remains bright. The young players have talent, and they will certainly develop. It’s just a matter of figuring things out in the meantime.
