Rockies Sweeping Marlins Marks Highlight of Dismal Season

The Colorado Rockies have had virtually nothing to cheer about in 2025.

That is until they swept the Miami Marlins in three games on the road. It was the first time the Rockies had swept any team in over a year.

The sweep improves the Rockies to 12-50 this season.

You read that right.

12-50.

With 100 games left to play, the Rockies entered today 25 games back of the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. 

Not only that, but the Rockies are 19½ games back of the fourth place Arizona Diamondbacks.

Their current winning percentage is .194 which is more than .40 points worse than that of the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics who recorded a .235 winning percentage en route to a 36-117 record more than a century ago.

Assuming the Rockies maintain this putrid pace, they would finish the season with a record of 31-131. 

That would be 10 more losses than last year's edition of the Chicago White Sox who eclipsed the 1962 New York Mets for most losses in a season in the modern era. 

The 2025 Colorado Rockies could make the 2024 Chicago White Sox look like the 1927 New York Yankees.

The Rockies began the season 7-33 before the team cut ties with manager Bud Black. Prior to the 3-game sweep of the Marlins, the Rockies had gone 2-17 under interim manager Warren Schaeffer. 

The team is off tonight. Tomorrow, the Rockies host a 3-game series against the New York Mets who are currently atop the NL East.

The worst is yet to come.
