"The Colorado Rockies have achieved a commendable turnaround this season. What was once on track to be one of the worst seasons in history, both in the modern era and before, has turned into a more typical bad season. A strange thing to be celebrating, but in the grand scheme of what this season has looked like, it really is about celebrating the little things."
"While the team isn't technically clear of being the worst team in the modern era - if they can keep up their recent play, they should have no problem winning three of the remaining 23 games, which would put them one win ahead of the historically bad 2024 Chicago White Sox. The White Sox went 41-121 and became the worst team in the modern era of the MLB."
The Colorado Rockies recovered from a historically poor start and shifted a potential record-setting collapse into a more typical bad season. Winning at least three of the remaining 23 games would place the team one win ahead of the 2024 Chicago White Sox, who went 41-121 and are the worst modern-era MLB team. Even repeating the early-season 4-19 run over the final 23 games would still avoid that record. Approaching the postseason, opponents may intensify play, which threatens a team prone to long losing streaks. The Rockies recorded a 4-7 loss to the Giants and now have three consecutive 100-loss seasons; prior to this span the franchise had never lost 100 games in a season.
