Historically bad, the Colorado Rockies had sound reasons to fire manager Bud Black. The 21–0 loss to San Diego on Saturday officially stamped a 6–33 team as a non-competitive embarrassment.
It wasn’t as if Black did not get a chance. He has the worst career record (.460 winning percentage) among the 80 managers who lasted the longest in a major league dugout. His Rockies have been the worst team in baseball not just this month, but over the past seven years.
