The state of the Rockies is bad. Insert understatement.
They entered Saturday night’s game against the Padres at Coors Field on a seven-game losing streak, owning a historically bad 6-32 record and sitting 19 1/2 games behind the Dodgers in the National League West.
General manager Bill Schmidt, who’s been with the franchise for more than 25 years, is aware of the major issues: a lackluster offense, ineffective starting pitching and shaky defense.
However, he still believes the Rockies can save their season and doesn’t believe it’s time to fire manager Bud Black.
“I feel for the fans, I feel for the people around here,” Schmidt said.
