Before reporters and social media swotters start fishing for trade stories, Bud Black is planning on doing a little angling of his own.
“I’m going to go fly fishing at 6 in the morning (Wednesday) …” the Rockies manager said late Tuesday night outside the home clubhouse at Coors Field after coaching the National League squad in the All-Star Game.
“That’s going to be great. Maybe catch some trout and then put ’em back in the river. But that’s therapeutic for me: Some Colorado fly fishing.”
With the Midsummer Classic out of the way, Black and the Rockies get a short breather before the season resumes Friday with a three-game home weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
