Apparently, even the Colorado Rockies have their limits.
On Sunday, the day after an embarrassing 21-0 loss to the San Diego Padres dropped the team's record to 6-33, the Rockies finally fired longtime manager Bud Black -- despite general manager Bill Schmidt giving Black a vote of confidence prior to Saturday's game. Colorado is careening toward not just a seventh consecutive losing season, but a season that could be headed in the same direction as the Chicago White Sox in 2024: chasing the modern record for losses in a season.
