Rockies Fans' Best Hope Might Be More Losses | Defector
Briefly

The Colorado Rockies have made history for all the wrong reasons, marking the worst 50-game start in baseball's modern era at 8-42. This dismal performance is a record low, with only one team, the 1895 Louisville Colonels, having fared worse. The Rockies struggle is compounded by their inability to generate consistent runs, being shut out eight times this season and averaging only 3.28 runs per game. Their collapse not only impacts fans but also highlights mismanagement within the organization, raising serious questions about its future prospects.
The Colorado Rockies hit that point on Thursday night, after losing 2-0 to the Philadelphia Phillies to push their season record to 8-42.
This team is squarely on the path trodden by the 2024 White Sox, who spent a good chunk of that campaign threatening to break the 1899 Cleveland Spiders' record for most losses in a season.
