Rockies Journal: GM Bill Schmidt backs Bud Black amid historically bad start. “Good things are going to happen.”

The Rockies are off to the worst start in franchise history, and questions need to be asked. While they will likely improve on their .226 winning percentage, enabling them to avoid contending with the expansion 1962 New York Mets (40-120) as one of the worst teams in MLB history, another 100-loss season appears probable. The Rockies, amid a youth movement, have intriguing talent on the current roster and in their farm system, but they are a bad team right now. Following a 5-4, 10-inning loss at Miami on Thursday, manager Bud Black called a team meeting during which he urged the team to keep playing for one another and ride out the storm.
