Jeff Passan issues Rockies a caution about potentially surpassing White Sox's record for most losses in history.
Flopping Rockies Eyeing White Sox's Misery Record
last season, the Chi-Town misfortunes - better known as the Chicago White Sox - experienced a historic season of woe. With a 41-121 record, they managed to secure the worst campaign in league history. Now, another team seems eager to claim that dismal title.
Fast forward to the present moment, and the Mile High Strugglers - or Colorado Rockies - sure look like they're on a collision course with Chicago. That's at least what ESPN's Jeff Passan thinks, given his latest comments about the Rockies' wretched performance.
In his latest article, Passan takes the Rockies' turbulent start to task. Not only are they shedding victories at an astounding rate, but their offense is striking out more than any other team in MLB (28.1%). The starting pitching rotation holds the league's worst combined ERA of 6.73.
"Eeny, meeny, where to begin? The Rockies are 4-25. They're in the middle of their third six-plus-game losing streak. They haven't won back-to-back games yet. They're a miserable road team (1-14). They play like bats at night (1-13). They can't handle lefty pitchers (0-9). They're striking out in 28.1% of their plate appearances, which could be a league record. Their starters' ERA is 6.73, which would be the worst mark in MLB history. They're 15.5 games behind the [decorated] Dodgers after a month."
Braves vs. Rockies Faceoff - Will Colorado Break the Streak?
The esteemed MLB insider warns the Rockies of the catastrophic record they might soon own. The White Sox's record of 121 losses in a single season has stood for 60 years. However, Passan points out that Colorado's road ahead is far more treacherous than Chicago's was. The Rockies must still face the sting of beings against the Dodgers, Giants, Padres, and Diamondbacks.
On Wednesday, the Rockies square off against the Braves to conclude the three-game series. If Colorado suffers defeat in this contest, it would mark the sixth consecutive series sweep for the team. It would also be the 18th consecutive loss for the team, a streak that would be nothing short of remarkable.
However, the season is far from over. The team still has five months to shift their fortunes. However, based on their current trajectory, it looks like Colorado might well break the modern-day loss record and usurp the White Sox's dubious distinction.
