Black was in his ninth season as Rockies manager after being hired in 2017. After making back-to-back playoff appearances in his first two years, Colorado has endured six straight losing seasons under his direction. He ends his tenure with a 544-690 record.

With every game, the Colorado Rockies’ season seems to be getting worse. And a day after a historically bad loss, the team has parted ways with manager Bud Black.

The Colorado Rockies fired manager Bud Black shortly after the team beat the San Diego Padres 9–3 on Sunday. The Rockies players found out the news right after the game, and some players were emotional about the move.
