Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts wasn't happy with the Colorado Rockies for firing skipper Bud Black on Sunday. In Roberts' view, the Rockies' failures fall more on ownership than on his former mentor.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on Bud Black’s dismissal as manager of the Colorado Rockies: “Casey Stengel couldn’t change the outcome of that ballclub.”

Long before becoming the skipper of the Colorado Rockies sinking ship, Bud Black was a decorated Angels pitching coach and respected San Diego Padres manager.
