Dugout chatter
“I feel like I’m in an adult timeout, so I want to feel the way it’s supposed to feel. And learn from the error of my ways.�
– Manager Clint Hurdle, who is sitting out tonight’s game while serving a one-game suspension. Bench coach Jamie Quirk will manage in Hurdle’s absence.
Number of note: The Rockies struck out 14 times Monday, the team’s most ever on Opening Day. Seven of the eight starting position players struck out at least once.
