Ubaldo Jimenez drilled Troy Tulowitzki with the first pitch Sunday, carrying their festering feud onto the field and leading to the Indians and Rockies clearing the benches. "You guys will have to talk to him and see if it was intentional or unintentional," Tulowitzki said after the game. "I didn't expect anything and the emotions took over. A couple of words were exchanged but nothing more than that." Tulowitzki's left elbow was swollen, but he expects to play on Opening Day. "From my take, as soon as he hit me it just seemed like he wanted a little more. That's when the confrontation started," Tulowitzki said. "I definitely wasn't happy about being hit. I don't think you ever are ... so it was back and forth. Not saying it was just him or me." Rockies manager Jim Tracy, however, called it "the most gutless act I've seen in 35 years in the game, that's what I saw." "That's exactly what I witnessed," Tracy said. "He intentionally threw at him, he should be suspended. I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't get suspended because he deserves to be suspended." Jimenez claims there was no intent. "I don't want to hurt him at all. Just one pitch that got away that could happen to anybody," he said. Jimenez recently admitted that he was upset he didn't receive a contract extension from Colorado, while Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez got new deals. Jimenez was traded to the Indians last summer. Tulowitzki was later quoted by the Denver Post as saying Jimenez needs to get over his frustration and get on with his career. "I never talked about anyone. The only thing I said was about how the team treated me. I didn't mention anyone. I never mentioned any names," Jimenez said.
