Rockies Fire Coach and Bench Coach after worst MLB Start Since 1988

[Tanko]

Worst start at 7-33 (including today's win) since Baltimor 1988 who went 6-34.

Day after 21-0 loss, Rockies fire manager Black

The Colorado Rockies, a day after losing by 21 runs to the San Diego Padres at home and off to a major-league-worst 7-33 start, fired manager Bud Black on Sunday and named third-base coach Warren Schaeffer the interim manager for the rest of the season.

Wasn’t that Baltimore team the one that started 0-21??

Didn’t even have to look it up. Not sure why I remember that. Guess it’s been referenced a lot over the years

They had Ripkin too back then as well as Eddie Murray and Fred Lynn

To be last in the division is one thing, but to be last and have the worst record...tsk tsk.. no excuse.

If I coach doesn’t have the talent in baseball or basketball, there’s not much he or she can do.

For the amount of $ they've invested, they are performing exceptionally poor.

This thread probably captures the Rockies futility better than the prior salary chart.
Dead last in salary/win and its not even close.

Which MLB Teams are getting the most Bang for their buck so far in 2025

Ranked by $millions per win so far in 2025. Athletics are doing well considering how little money they've spent. Of course, no surprise, the Rockies suck...

I'd send all the big salary players to the minors for 2 months, make them ride the fkking bus. And let young kids lose by 21 instead

 

[2the9s]

Not really a surprise I guess. Management needs to blame someone. The Rockies have sucked for a long time now.

Mercy killing for Ole' Bud
