With a record of 7-33 and not only being last in the National League West, but also having the worst record in the league, team owner, chairman, and CEO Dick Monfort said "our fans deserve better, and we are capable of better.

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 Dick Monfort announced.

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.
