Colorado rockies are making a change in the midst of their bad historical beginning for the 2025 season. Bud Black has been fired as the Rockies manager after 7-33 in their ninth season in Colorado.
The team announced Black’s dismissal on Sunday. Banking coach Mike Redmond was also released. The third base coach, Warren Schaeffer, will now take as an interim manager for the rest of the season, while the bat coach Clint Hurdle will be the interim banking coach.
“Our play so far this season, special that comes from the last two seasons, has been unacceptable,” said Own, President and CEO of Rockies, Dick Monfort, in a statement. “Our fans deserve better, and we are able to better. While we all share this responsibility in how this season has been developed, these change changes are necessary. We will use the rest of 2025 to improve where we can in the field and on the side of the field or the next chapter of Ohalury of baseball rockies.”
Colorado’s 7-33 record is tied at the beginning of 40 Sava games for a team in the history of MLB and is the sausage brand since 1988. The rockies really won on Sunday, defeating San Diego’s parents to avoid binding Baltimore’s orioles of 1988 for the worst beginning.
However, Sunday 9-3 victory followed a 21-0 defeat against the parents on Saturday, which extended the losing streak of the rockies to eight games at that time, since they also launched a position player for the second time in three games.
The rockies have been surpassed by 128 races so far this season. The only team since 1900 with a worse race differential in 40 games was the athletics 2023 Oakland (-144).
