As we dive into the 2025 spring training season, the Colorado Rockies are generating some buzz, particularly around their pitching staff and the implementation of the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike) system. Bud Black has expressed optimism about the depth and talent in the bullpen, highlighting the blend of veterans and promising young arms like Victor Vodnik and Seth Halvorsen. This raises some intriguing questions:

How do you think the mix of experience and youth will impact the Rockies' performance this season? Can we expect a significant turnaround from last year's struggles, or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?

Additionally, the ABS system is a hot topic. Austin Nola has shared his thoughts on its potential to enhance the game, but he also pointed out its imperfections. With pitchers like Márquez and their ability to throw challenging pitches, will the ABS system level the playing field or create new challenges for pitchers?

What are your predictions for how the ABS system will affect the game this season? Will it lead to more exciting plays, or will it frustrate players and fans alike?

Let’s also not forget about Kris Bryant's role as a designated hitter. With his experience and the need to manage his playing time, how do you see his contributions shaping the Rockies' lineup?
