Colorado Rockies Fire Manager Bud Black a day after losing 21-0 against San Diego

Denver (AP) -The Colorado Rockies fired Bud Black, the winning manager in Franchise History, after a 7-33 beginning, one of the worst in Major League Baseball History. Colorado promoted the third base coach Warren Schaeffer to the interim manager, the team announced on Sunday after a 9-3 win over San Diego. The victory was not enough to save Black’s work after the Rockies lost 21-0 on Saturday night. They also fired Mike Redmond, coach of the bench. Striking coach Clint Hurdle takes over as interim banking coach. The Rockies have the worst start of 40 games since the 1988 Baltimore Orioles, which was 6-34. “Our game so far this season, especially the past two seasons, has been unacceptable. Our fans deserve better, and we are better capable,” Rockies chairman and CEO Dick Monfort said in a statement. “Although we all share responsibility in the way this season has played, these changes are needed. We will use the rest of 2025 to improve where we can be on the field and to evaluate all areas of our operation so that we can properly convert the page into the next chapter of Rockies Baseball.” Colorado was 19 1/2 games from the first place in the NL West before Sunday’s victory. The Rockies have been exceeded by 128 runs so far this season. The only team since 1900 with a worse running difference to 40 games was the 2023 Oakland Athletics (-144). The seventh manager in the history of the team initially had success with Colorado when he led the Rockies in 2017 and ’18 to back-to-back play-offs. They have not been done with a winning record ever since and come from two straight seasons. Colorado has a winning percentage of .353 since 2023. Black’s contract would expire after the season. He signed an extension of one year in October. Swart was 544-689 in nine seasons while wearing the purple stripes. He has exceeded the obstacle for the team record last season in both games running and victories. The easy behavior of black looks good for a Rockies team that trusts a lot in youth. The series contains a core winners of the gold glove, Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle, along with the recent call from highly adjusted outdoor player Zac Veen, who has since been returned. On the hill, they promoted the valued world Chase Dollander, the ninth overall concept choice in 2023. But few went right for Black and The Rockies. They allowed 10 or more runs in four straight matches, which run out in the soccer-like 21-0 score on Saturday. A team owned by Monfort and run by general manager Bill Schmidt made no splash to strengthen a spiral club. Their payroll this season is listed at $ 125.7 million and is the 20th in the league, according to Spotrac, a website that follows the payroll. One reason for the Rockies’ free fall was the health of the Slugger Kris Bryant, who struggled to stay on the field after signing a $ 182 million contract before the 2022 season. He is currently on the injured list with lumbar degenerative disc disease. Before taking over the Rockies, Black spent time in charge of San Diego. He was 649-713 in nine seasons with the roadser and was named the NL Manager of the Year in 2010. In addition to his management stops in San Diego and Colorado, Black spent seven seasons as the coach for the angels, who came three times to the post-season and was World Series in 2002. 17th round of the concept of 1979. He spent time with the Mariners (1981), Kansas City (1982-88), Cleveland (1988-90, 1995), Toronto (1990) and San Francisco (1991-94). He finished 121-116 with a 3.84 era over 398 games. Black was with the Royals when they won the 1985 World Series, one start and a relief from St. Louis. ___
