Rockies make dismal history with 50th loss of season
The Colorado Rockies suffered a devastating loss on Sunday against the New York Mets, further solidifying their position as the worst team in the MLB this season. With a 5-3 defeat, the Rockies now hold a dismal 9-50 record, making them the first team in the league to reach 50 losses this season.
This loss marks a new low for the Rockies, as they have the worst record in 59 games of any major league team in modern baseball history. The team has been swept an astonishing 10 times in just 20 series, tying a record with the 1962 Mets, the 1970 Milwaukee Brewers, and the 1994 Oakland Athletics.
According to USA Today, the Rockies have played the most games in MLB history without earning their 10th win, joining only four other teams in the sport’s history. These teams include the 1985 Louisville Colonels, 1886 Washington Nationals, 1899 Cleveland Spiders, and the 1904 Washington Senators.
The Mets secured their victory on Sunday with impressive performances from Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, who both hit crucial home runs. The win propelled the Mets back into first place in the National League East, further highlighting the stark difference between the two teams.
Despite the Rockies’ struggles, they continue to push forward, facing the Miami Marlins in their upcoming road trip. The team has already made changes by firing manager Bud Black in May, but challenges persist as they strive to improve their performance and turn their season around.
As the Rockies navigate through this difficult season, fans can only hope for better days ahead. With the Mets and San Francisco Giants on the horizon, the team faces tough competition but remains determined to overcome their current setbacks and make a comeback in the league.
In conclusion, the Rockies’ loss to the Mets serves as a stark reminder of the team’s ongoing struggles and challenges in the MLB. As they continue to fight for victories, fans remain hopeful that the team will find its footing and turn the tide in the remainder of the season.
