The Colorado Rockies have fired manager Bud Black following a dismal start to the season, with a record of 7-33. This marks the worst 40-game start in Major League Baseball since the 1988 Baltimore Orioles, who finished 6-34. The Rockies managed to win their final game under Black, defeating the San Diego Padres 9-3, which ended an eight-game losing streak. Despite this victory, Colorado has been outscored by 128 runs this season, a figure only surpassed by the 2023 Oakland Athletics, who had a run differential of -144 through 40 games. Black, who had been with the Rockies for nine years, compiled a career record of 544-690, making him the winningest manager in franchise history. The team has appointed third-base coach Warren Schaeffer as interim manager and hitting coach Clint Hurdle as interim bench coach for the remainder of the season.

33m First Rockies fire hitting coach Hensley Meulens and now they fire #BudBlack
While some #Rockies celebrate this move. I ask you “What is there to celebrate when there’s no real organizational plan?”
