The Colorado Rockies left Texas as the first team in baseball’s modern era to lose 36 of their first 43 games and hoping an off day in Arizona can help them reset.

The Rocky Mountain horror show is the result of injuries, underperformance and, most of all, an unwillingness to adapt.

In their second game under interim manager Warren Schaeffer, the Rockies’ offense was once again a no-show in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday night at Globe Field. Schaeffer was named interim manager on Sunday when Bud Black was fired.

Bud Black, the longest-tenured manager in Colorado Rockies history, was fired in his ninth season as the team slides toward a historically bad season.

The Rockies have fallen to 7-36, earning the title of worst record through 43 games in the modern era of Major League Baseball. They were outhit and outpitched by the Rangers again as Texas concludes a sweep that leaves the Rockies at 2-20 on the road.

Warren Schaeffer is taking over as the interim manager of the Colorado Rockies.

The Colorado Rockies, who fired manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond after an "unacceptable" 7-33 start, will turn to third base coach Warren Schaeffer as their interim manager, owner Richard Monfort announced.

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.

Former Cleveland Indians pitcher Bud Black has been fired as the Colorado Rockies manager following a league-worst 7-33 start to the 2025 MLB season, the club announced Sunday.

The Rockies loss on Tuesday, their 35th of the young season, made them the worst in MLB history through 42 games. And based on recent and ancient events, things can still get much worse for Colorado.
