Overview

  • The Rockies' 6-31 record ties the 1988 Baltimore Orioles for the worst start in modern MLB history, dating back to 1876.
  • Pitcher Kyle Freeland publicly criticized the Rockies' front office and ownership, calling their approach 'wrong,' and made an emotional plea for fans to support the team.
  • The team projects to finish the season with only 26 wins, which would mark one of the worst campaigns in MLB history.
  • Hitting coach Hensley Meulens has been fired and replaced by former manager Clint Hurdle, with speculation mounting over manager Bud Black's future.
  • Roster instability, injuries to key players like Kris Bryant, and a middling farm system ranked 18th have compounded the Rockies' struggles and raised concerns about their long-term competitiveness.
