On Thursday, the Colorado Rockies announced they had relieved hitting coach Hensley Meulens of his duties, replacing him with former Rockies manager and then-special assistant to the general manager Clint Hurdle.
Today, Hurdle answered questions from the media, stressing that he saw his job as building skills and trust. It was a conversation that began on Monday afternoon when the Rockies faced the Los Angeles Dodgers after failing to score a single run during their three-game series with the San Diego Padres.
It was a change that happened quickly.
