Source: Hurdle out as Rockies manager

DENVER - Clint Hurdle's seven-year run as the Rockies' manager will end Friday, according to a major-league source.

With an off day to discuss the situation, the Rockies are poised to make a change given that their poor start has begun to affect attendance and fan interest.

The Dodgers broomed the Rockies at Coors Field Wednesday, outscoring them 31-13 in the series and sending them a season-high 10 games under .500. The ugly losses - every game featured a big inning from the Dodgers - intensified speculation that Hurdle might be let go. While blaming themselves for the poor performance, multiple players said today they would not be surprised if a move was made soon.

That talk was based on the team's home (7-13) and overall record (18-28).

Bench coach Jim Tracy likely is Hurdle's replacement. Hurdle has been the Rockies' manager since 2002, when he took over for Buddy Bell three weeks into the season.

Tracy was named the bench coach in this past offseason after two seasons in Pittsburgh as the manager and five seasons in Los Angeles.
