I asked various players to describe "Camp Schaeffer" in one word. Here's what they came up with (and you can also read Schaeffer's reflection on his first spring training in the article):

No notes A+

Seriously, it feels like Phoenix is experiencing the Eighth Plague of Egypt with all these damn locusts

And that’s a wrap from (locust-infested) Salt River Fields. Always an honor and a pleasure to cover this team. Next up, the regular season! ⚾️💜

Brenton Doyle 😮‍💨

Your attention, please. Now pitching for the #Rockies: No. 32, Chase Dollander

Rumfield, the Secretary of Offense, deposits a 426-foot bomb over the center field fence... and it's his fifth of the spring!

It’s a beautiful night for TJ Rumfield — who was just named to his first Opening Day roster — to win the #Rockies 2026 Abby Greer award.

Last time, best time 🌵⚾️

Excellent work by @evanlang27.bsky.social on this piece! 💜

I guess Simon's wet food had too much water in it this morning, because he's dipping his paw in it (like he does with water) and dripping wet food all over my rug 😹

Tired: Glitter bomb Wired: Ritter bomb! #Rockies cut the A's lead to just one run, as they trail 4-3

Well, we've officially hit the "Disco Hits" part of spring training with the musical stylings of Musique singing "In The Bush" Never a dull moment! 😂 @hardingmlb.bsky.social @kgh23.bsky.social

Brody Brecht is starting the Spring Breakout game this evening for the #Rockies

The Pitt just 👏 did 👏 that 👏

Projected triple digits means leaf blowing and landscaping starts at 6:30am when the sun comes out 🙃

I decided to rewatch The Americans, and damn, this is a good show.

Damn, I just submitted my last three credentials for spring training 😮

Thanks @hardingmlb.bsky.social for the shoutout and the excellent listen! 💜

¡VAMOS! 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

This handsome guy is 13 (!!) today 💜

Good morning! www.purplerow.com/colorado-roc...

Venezuela will play USA for the World Baseball Classic title after defeating Italy 4-2

¡Vamos! 🇻🇪

Saw a woman walking her goat on a leash around Petsmart today, so that’s new!

With Jeremy Ciriaco's steal of second, the #Rockies have six this game against the other Los Angeles team.

Jeimer Candelario's home run is stuck in the scoreboard 😂

The Angels are taking bunting practice off Tanner Gordon today -- three today, and two for outs (one was a bunt single, E1 to advance to second)

Ah yes. Ye olde "single, put-out goes 3-2" ⬇️

Brenton Doyle steals second, which marks their fourth stolen base of the game here in the third. The #Rockies had five in the 3/7 game against the Dodgers, so they might be on pace to break that today. Also worth noting: the last time they had five SB in a regular season game was Sept. 2019

And that's a three-run moonshot over the batter's eye by Hunter Goodman. The #Rockies extend their lead to 4-0 here in the third.

Good morning! www.purplerow.com/colorado-roc...

🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

Meant to post this earlier and forgot 😂 Loved seeing a Connor Joe jersey in the wild today!

Glove save by #Rockies SS Ethan Holliday -- who slips trying to stand back up from the dive but throws out Carson Kelly running to first anyway 😳

A sellout crowd of 11,104 in attendance today (not surprising for a Cubs game, given the crowd on the councourse lol)

Also, the #Rockies are 0-for-4 in challenges today (Jake McCarthy by himself is 0-for-3)

Old friend Ryan Rolison is on to pitch for the Cubs

Devin Booker has passed Magic Johnson on the @nba.com all-time scoring list!
