Good Managing

Clint Hurdle made a difference today:

The Rockies were told before the game by manager Clint Hurdle to stay away from anything that started belt high or lower out of Webb's hand, and they foiled Webb's bid to become the NL's first 14-game winner.

Colorado scored six runs in the first two innings off one of the best sinkerball pitchers. Webb (13-5), among the NL leaders in fewest walks per nine innings at 2.93, walked a season-high five in six innings and gave up eight hits.

And good job by the scouts to get Hurdle that information.
