2019 brings with it the optimism of another new year, the sharpening impatience for Spring Training to commence, and, in Colorado Springs, heightened anticipation for the inaugural season of the Rocky Mountain Vibes to arrive. The freshly-minted Vibes host their first-ever home opener on June 21st against their cross-state rivals, the Grand Junction Rockies, but as Spring Training hasn’t even yet begun, that distant summer date still seems impossibly far away.

Fortunately for Vibes fans, I, Toasty — Colorado Springs’ newest and most marshmallow-y mascot — have some positive messages to help ease the protracted wait.

“Toasty’s Good Vibe of the Day” has become an early trademark of the new Springs club, as I’ve been kicking off every day with a unique, kind suggestion on how to make the world just a little more pleasant.

Here are some of my recent friendly vibes:

I just want you to know that baseball will be back before you know it, and that, together, we can work to spread the most positive, chill vibes in the meantime.

Oh, you want Toasty’s predictions for 2019? Here we go: Mike Trout is gonna be truly amazing at baseball, the Dodgers WON’T be in the World Series for the third straight year, and the Vibes are going to earn a Pioneer League Championship in their first attempt.

Stay Toasty, my friends.
