DENVER (AP) --- The Colorado Rockies have fired Bud Black, the winningest
manager in franchise history, after a 7-33 start that's one of the worst in
Major League Baseball history.
Colorado promoted third base coach Warren Schaeffer to be the interim manager,
the team announced Sunday after a 9-3 win over San Diego. That victory wasn't
enough to save Black's job after the Rockies lost 21-0 to the Padres on
Saturday. They also fired bench coach Mike Redmond. Hitting coach Clint Hurdle
takes over as interim bench coach.
The Rockies have the worst 40-game start since the 1988 Baltimore Orioles, who
were 6-34.
