Last night, the Colorado Rockies lost their 100th game of the 2025 season in a game which will be remembered for a bench clearing brawl precipitated by San Francisco Giants first baseman Rafael Devers admiring his HR and having to wait nearly 10 minutes to run around the bases.
The Rockies fell to the Giants 7-4 and now have their third consecutive season with 100 plus losses. 2025 will certainly represent their worst record in franchise history.
However, there is a small silver lining. At the All-Star Break, the Rockies were 22-74. Since the All-Star Break, the Rockies are 17-26.
Now 17-26 is generally not impressive unless we consider the fact the Rockies did not get their 17th win in 2025 until June 18th when they bested the Washington Nationals 3-1 for a season best 4-game winning streak. After beating the Nats that day, the Rockies stood at 17-57.
The Rockies have played respectably enough since the All-Star Break that they will likely avoid the fate of being worse than the 2024 Chicago White Sox who finished last season with modern MLB record of 121 losses. Colorado only needs to win 3 more games this season to evade baseball ignobility.
As of this writing, the Rockies have a 5-4 lead against the Giants in the top of the 6th having scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 5th.
Oops!!! I may have spoken too soon. The Giants just took a 6-5 lead.
Well, to quote Yogi Berra, "It ain't over 'til it's over."
