Rockies Accomplish an MLB Worst in Last 126 Years

The 2025 Colorado Rockies are so bad, they're practically setting new records for futility every week.

On Saturday, after losing 4-1 to the Atlanta Braves, the Rockies carried a 13-57 record. No team in MLB history has had fewer wins in the last 125 years. The 1899 Cleveland Spiders had the same record at the same point that season.

The next worst team in the majors this year was last year's worst team: the Chicago White Sox. But the White Sox are 10 games better than the Rockies in 2025, with a 23-48 record.

Besides the loss, the Rockies on-the-field were specifically bad against the Braves. Colorado struck out 19 times, a franchise record for a nine-inning game. It was also a franchise record for the Braves in a nine-inning game.

Spencer Strider recorded 13 strikeouts over his six innings while Rafael Montero and Dylan Lee combined for another six in the final three frames.

Kyle Farmer, one of the most senior Rockies players, is 34 and been in the league nine seasons. He's on the back end of his career, but said he is attempting to use the Rockies' struggles as teaching tool for the younger players.

"Keeping their heads up and they've got to show up each day and play, no matter our record," Farmer said. "It's your job, and you worked your whole life to get here. Enjoy it. This is a great opportunity for a young guy to show what they can do."
