told the Denver Post<\/a>. \u201cGuys are working hard every day, they come with energy, for the most part. I don\u2019t think we are [at that point of firing Black]. Guys still believe in what we are doing and where we are headed. We are all frustrated.\u201d<\/p>\nRockies manager Bud Black makes a call to the bullpen during a 21-0 loss to the Padres on May 10, 2025. AP<\/p>\n

The loss marked the Rockies\u2019 eighth in a row, and barring a dramatic turnaround appear headed for their third straight 100-loss season under the 67-year-old Black, who was hired in 2017 following nine seasons managing the Padres.<\/p>\n
San Diego\u2019s 21-run blowout on Saturday featured five home runs and marked the third-largest shutout victory in MLB since 1901; Padres right-hander Stephen Kolek went the distance for the shutout in his second big-league start.<\/p>\n
Colorado also became the first team to give up at least 10 runs in four consecutive games since Baltimore in 2021.<\/p>\n
