Rockies GM: Walt Weiss' job is secure

Walt Weiss' job as the Colorado Rockies' manager is secure for now, according to general manager Jeff Bridich.

Bridich told the Denver Post that he has "no issue" with Weiss' performance despite the last-place Rockies' continued struggled under the third-year manager.

"There's no issue there," Bridich told the Post. "Throwing around blame is a very dangerous thing to do. The manager and the coaches don't step on the field and take a bat and step into the batter's box, and they don't take the ball to stand on the mound."

The Rockies are 16-25 this season after splitting a doubleheader Saturday against the San Francisco Giants. Colorado is 156-209 under Weiss, who told the Post that he has "zero fear of losing my job."

"This is my third season, and we haven't won," he told the paper. "And I'm sure people ask about my security here, I'm sure that becomes a topic. But I have to tell you, honestly, I have zero fear of losing my job. Not that it can't happen -- I knew it could happen the day I signed up; it's almost inevitable in this seat.

"But it is definitely not a fear of mine."
