Goodbye, Chicago White Sox; Hi, Colorado Rockies!
Colorado Rockies is on the way to signing 130 losses in the campaign and becoming the worst MLB team
Colorado Rockies are on the right path to sign a historic record in the major leagues. Become the worst MLB team of all time. To maintain the rhythm they carry in the first 34 games of the regular season of 2025, they will end with 130 losses, the greatest amount in the history of the circuit, record of all time in the modern era.
Last season it was the Chicago White Sox who signed the worst record, with 41 wins and 121 lost, in 162 total games, above the 40 victories and 120 losses of the nascent New York Mets of 1962. Now, the rockies, submerged in the basement of the west of the National League, seem destined to implement a new brand.
The percentage of cattle and losses of the rockies, prior to the beginning of May 7 (.176), equals the third worst record in the first 34 games for a team in the modern era, only behind the Baltimore Orioles of 1988 (.147, 5-29) and the Chicago Cubs (.156, 5-27) of 1981, tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates of 1952 and the 1952 Boston Red Sox of 1932. In the same period, the 2024 White Sox were with a mark of 8-26.
The 1988 Orioles concluded with 107 losses in 161 games; While the 1981 CUBS ended with a 38-65 mark on the planned calendar of 106 games.
Colorado is at the gates of a complicated calendar and a fire test, since it is in the middle of a stretch of 29 consecutive games before clubs that today play ball over 500 thousandths. From May 1 to June 1, rockies will not face opponents below .500 percentage, until June 2 to 4 are measured to Miami Marlins.
The rockies come from two disastrous campaigns, the only two in their history in which they have lost more than 100 games; In 2023 they fell 103 occasions and last year they did it in 101. So they could be overcome in that negative locker.
The 1962 Mets ended at 60.5 games in the first place in the National League, which the San Francisco Giants occupied, which barely took a game away from Los Angeles Dodgers. That year, the METS were directed by Casey Stengelit was an expansion season in which, along with the New Yorkers, the Houston Colt 45s arrive, today Houston Astros. In that team of the Mets it appeared Charlie Nealthree times summoned to the star game, winner of a gold glove and champion in 1959 with Dodgers.
The White Sox, last year, signed the sixth season of their history with at least 100 losses. The 121 meant staying 51.5 games away from the Cleveland Guardians, first place in the central division of the American League (92-69).
Andrew Benintendi was one of the most rescued players from Chicago on the offensive, with 20 home runs and 64 produced, in addition to Andrew Vaughn, with 19 windows and 70 towed. In the pitching, Erick Feddde was one of the best pieces, with a record of 7-4 and 3.11 of effectiveness.
The rockies are in 2025 an anemic team with the offensive. On May 7, they aroused as the worst team on collective average with .209, the lowest number of races manufactured collectively in the largest (106); in the pitching, the third worst in effectiveness (5.38) and the second worst in whip (1.56). After Wednesday in the Major Leagues, Colorado saw his record fall to 6-29, the worst of the elders.
The player who stands out the most of the offensive with the Alicaid Rockies is Hunter Goodman, who leads the individual departments of average, home run and produced (.274/5/17); In the pitching, the victorious leader is Chase Dollander (2), the effectiveness Antonio Senzatela (5.50) and that of Ponches Jake Bird (29).
With all this scenario, it looks complicated that the rockies avoid a third season in line with more than 100 losses, the question is, then, if they will hold a new and dire record in the elderly, or avoid staying as the team with more defeats in a regular season in the modern era.
We will see it.
