The endurance feat after the 2025 Colorado Rockies hit Saturday's lowest point.

Rockies - Owner of the worst record of MLB, the second offense in MLB (score by running), the worst pitcher in MLB (scored by ERA), the worst running difference in MLB, let's face it, the worst atmosphere in MLB is the worst of MLB - San Diego Padres at home lost 21-0 at home.

Their record was 6-33, the worst game start in a season in national league history and tied for the worst of modern times with the 1988 Baltimore Orioles (since 1900). By contrast, the most lost team in Major League Baseball history, the Chicago White Sox began its 2024 seasons 11-28.

Saturday's game was as cruel as the score suggests. Literally, starting, rookie Bradley Blalock started the game on the Colorado mound and quickly got into trouble, allowing five runs in the first inning. Instead of pulling him, the Rockies asked him to put it on and leave him there until he threw 87 balls.

He quit in 3 2/3 innings with 13 hits, 12 runs, 2 walks and a strikeout. His era is now 12.94 with five appearances (three games).

Juan Mejia breathed a sigh of relief, who allowed 7 runs (four gains) in 1 1/3 innings. Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr.

Meanwhile, the Rockies called out five hits, zero hits with Padres starter Stephen Kolek, who lost a full game despite Coors Field's offensive friendly.

The Rockies have allowed 9, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 20 runs in the last six games. They allow nine games in May (85) than in April (83) May (85).

How could the Rockies be terrible?

With the Rockies' gap of -134 to 39 games, the Rockies' pace is at the negative difference this season, which will be the worst gap in the modern era. This is what the rankings look like:

1. 2025 Colorado Rocky Mountains, -557
2.1932 Boston Red Sox, -345
3. 1932 Philadelphia Track and Field, -344
4. 2023 Auckland Track and Field, -339
5. 2003 Detroit Tiger, -337

The current record Red Sox is actually closer than what the Rockies are doing now than Miami Mariins, the 2025 second-team differential team. We are talking about outliers in tragic futile outliers, with no much reason to expect improvement.

As we learned with the White Sox last season, it’s actually hard to get a historic team off the floor. Today, the way to play is the way to play the game, where teams either try to win or tear the floor to maximize future wins, Colorado is not trading for any major league talent. If anything, they will most likely deal with any valuable player when the trade deadline hits.

Despite having won three consecutive wins since 2018 and not winning records, the Rockies’ minor league system is only ranked 18th in the MLB Pipeline ranking. The only player in the top five of the ETA in 2025 is the first-place Prospect Chase Dollander who is already with the team. His current era is 7.71.

The Rockies do have some injured roster players, but that's not going to be a significant difference anytime soon. Makers are back. Kris Bryant is the most famous name in the group, a) hasn't released OPS+ in three years and b) is dealing with a degenerative waist disease that sounds hard to come back since 2022, and C) hasn't hit nine times since 2022.

This is an absolutely tragic experience in Colorado. We've reached Kyle Freeland, a nine-year veteran who grew up in Denver and once raised in the Cy Young vote, who was on the brink of tears when talking about his team's performance Thursday.
