The Colorado Rockies ended the tenure of manager Bud Black after a humiliating 21-0 loss against the San Diego Padres, dropping their record to 6-33. This marked a pivotal moment as the Rockies face a potential seventh consecutive losing season with an alarming history of poor performance, highlighted by allowing an unprecedented number of runs over a seven-game stretch. The team's struggles are worsened by subpar pitching and a defense that ranks near the bottom in the league, reflecting broader organizational failures in player management and strategy.
The Rockies' collapse isn't just on manager Bud Black; it's symptomatic of years of poor roster decisions and reluctance to strengthen through trades or free agency.
The team's 21-0 loss marked the third-largest shutout margin in MLB history, highlighting a historical era of failure for Colorado's pitching.
With a 9.00 ERA and a ranking of 28th in defensive runs saved, the Rockies' struggles are emblematic of deeper systemic issues in team management.
Despite earlier assurances from GM Bill Schmidt, the Rockies have been on a disastrous path since failing to strongly address glaring deficiencies within the team.
