Outside The Confines: Fade to Black
Ron Chenoy-Imagn ImagesGood morning.
On Saturday, the Colorado Rockies lost 21-0 to the San Diego Padres.
So on Sunday, the Rockies fired their longtime manager Bud Black. Bench coach Mike Redmond was also let go. Third base coach Warren Schaeffer takes over as interim manager for the rest of the season and former Rockies manager Clint Hurdle is the new bench coach.
Tom Verducci writes that the Rockies’ problems go far beyond Black.
Steve Berman and Dennis Lin have more details on the Black firing, including Dodgers manager Dave Roberts saying that “I don’t think Casey Stengel could change the outcome” of what the Rockies are doing this year.
