I receive numerous emails about the Rockies. I save the best of those emails, the ones that are thoughtful, reasonable, and not written by social media Neanderthals.
From time to time, I check back with the fans who send me those emails to gauge their mood. Their mood is this: I’ve never seen so many avid, longtime Rockies fans this angry. Even worse, I’ve never sensed this much apathy from the fan base as a whole.
So, when Clint Hurdle, the new interim hitting coach, met the media on Saturday morning, I asked what he would say to those disgruntled fans.
