The Colorado Rockies’ 2025 season has reached a new low, as the team suffered their 50th loss in just 59 games, marking the third-fastest pace to 50 defeats in Major League Baseball history. Only the 1884 Kansas City Unions and the 1876 Cincinnati Red Stockings reached this mark quicker. With a 9-50 record, the Rockies hold the worst start through 59 games in the modern era (since 1901). Their latest defeat came at the hands of the New York Mets, who completed a three-game sweep with a 5-3 victory on Sunday. This loss extended Colorado’s current losing streak to eight games—their fourth such streak this season—and marked their 10th series sweep in 20 series played, tying them with the 1962 Mets, 1970 Brewers, and 1994 Athletics for the most sweeps through 20 series.
Despite the dismal record, Rockies catcher Jacob Stallings remains hopeful. “You can either fight or not fight. I don’t think not fighting is going to work,” Stallings said after Sunday’s game. “We have a really good group of guys in this locker room. We have been playing a lot better baseball. We just haven’t been able to get over that hump. A lot of close games this week that didn’t go our way. … We just have to keep plugging. Hopefully, we can break through here.”
The Rockies’ struggles have been compounded by a combination of factors, including a lackluster offense, a beleaguered pitching staff, and defensive miscues. As the season progresses, the team faces the daunting task of avoiding further historical infamy, with the all-time record for losses in a season looming.
