It’s Opening Day and Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black has a lot to say! Here’s the uncut audio from his pre-game press conference where he discusses the emotions of the day, his team’s championship expectations, the long road ahead, and for some reason a bunch of stuff about humidors.

After the game, Black discussed the misfortune of the team and why he decided to stick with Scott Oberg against Jake Lamb. Jon Gray tries to put this one behind him, and Chris Rusin talks about a brilliant moment that was followed by some rough ones:
