Baseball Team: Colorado Rockies
Rockies' Struggles and Bernabel's Bright Debut
In the world of Major League Baseball (MLB), the Colorado Rockies are currently making headlines, albeit for a less than desirable reason. The team's 2025 season has seen them flirting with the worst record in the modern era (1901-present), a record held by the 2024 Chicago White Sox who went 41-121 (.253 winning percentage).
However, recent improvements in their performance might prevent the Rockies from eclipsing this dismal mark. As of early August, the team was on pace for about 125 losses, which would surpass the White Sox's record of 121 losses. But their July performance, though still poor by most standards, was "once again excellent" by the Rockies' very low standards, and might have shifted the tide enough to avoid setting the all-time modern-era losses record.
Meanwhile, a ray of hope shines in the form of rookie corner infielder, Bernabel. Debuting last weekend in Baltimore, Bernabel has made an impressive start to his major league career. At just 23 years old, the young talent has already hit two homers and two doubles in his first five games, resulting in a staggering 1.254 On-Base Plus Slugging Percentage (OPS).
Bernabel's debut is scheduled during Colorado's homestand on Friday, and fans are eagerly awaiting his performance. For those interested in keeping up with the Rockies' progress, email alerts from Breaking Rockies News are available for sign-up, ensuring you're always in the loop.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if the Rockies can turn their fortunes around and whether Bernabel can continue his impressive form. For now, the focus remains on the team's bid to avoid setting the worst modern-era record, a feat that, while still possible, seems to be within their grasp.
