baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
I feel sorry
for Rockies fans. Going from Hurdle to Jim Tracy is not exactly an inspiring regime change (take it from this Dodger fan — Jim Tracy is a really nice guy and not a terrrrrible manager, but pretty darned mediocre when he ran LA.) Hurdle’s bad, really bad, though, no idea how he kept on for so long.
Jim Tracy tends to talk like this:
“Is firing Clint Hurdle the right thing to do? Only time will tell.
Am I the best person for the job. I hope so.
Is it annoying that I interview myself? Probably.
Was I a boring manager? I don’t think so.”
Matt Murton for manager!

He lost his players from the first game. Names Barmes his starter at 2nd and then doesn’t play him on opening day. I heard many players were openly complaining about that.

A more ridiculous answer
Of course he knows he shouldnt…the question is why does he keep doing it? I have heard that the heavy bat he uses could contribute because he has trouble stopping his swing. Other times it looks like he simply doesnt see the ball out of the pitchers hand. Its an interesting question because he is so talented but he cant break that habi.t
