After a demoralizing 21-0 defeat to the San Diego Padres, the Colorado Rockies fired manager Bud Black, reflecting their troubling 6-33 start to the season. The Rockies have struggled defensively, ranking near the bottom in runs allowed and runs scored, and their recent performance marks the first time any MLB team allowed increasing runs over several games. Despite previous assurances from management, the team's poor performance points toward a potential record for losses this season, reminiscent of the White Sox's struggles in 2024.
The Rockies became the first team in MLB history to allow at least eight runs and then increase their runs allowed in each of their next four games.
Colorado is careening toward not just a seventh consecutive losing season, but a record for losses in a season akin to the Chicago White Sox in 2024.
Despite a vote of confidence before Saturday's game, the Rockies fired longtime manager Bud Black after their embarrassing 21-0 loss.
Owner Dick Monfort's assertion that the Rockies will have one of the best defensive infields turned out to be false as they rank last in runs allowed.
