Rockies Fire Manager Black After Dismal Start | JQJO

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black was fired after a dismal 7-33 start, the worst in franchise history and among the worst in MLB. Third base coach Warren Schaeffer takes over as interim manager. The team also fired bench coach Mike Redmond. Owner Dick Monfort cited unacceptable play and the need for change. The Rockies' poor performance, including a 21-0 loss to the Padres, led to the decision despite a recent win. General manager Bill Schmidt acknowledged the move, aiming to improve the team's performance for the fans.
